Borrower or a Co-Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount
is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount
forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative
Agent promptly shall notify Borrower or that Co-Borrower who shall pay such
corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also
shall be entitled to recover from such Bank interest on such corresponding
amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower or the Co-Borrowers to the
date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a
rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its share of the
Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, Borrower
or any Co-Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such
Bank hereunder.
2.12 Release and Reattachment of Collateral. (a) Each of the
--------------------------------------
Banks hereby consents to the release on the Closing Date of the Liens granted by
the Collateral Documents described in the Old Loan Agreement. The
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed by each of the Banks to
execute and deliver to Borrower and its Subsidiaries all such termination
statements, mortgage releases, terminations of deeds of trust, terminations of
Liens, and other instruments, documents and agreements as may be necessary or
desirable, or which Borrower may reasonably request, to accomplish the purposes
of this Section or evidence the effects hereof.
(b) If a Collateral Event occurs and if either (x) the MGM Senior
Notes or the Mirage Senior Notes then require the granting of Liens in any
assets of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) any such MGM
Senior Notes or Mirage Senior Notes are in fact granted any Liens by Borrower,
the Co-Borrowers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, then Borrower and the
Co-Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to,
promptly and in any event within thirty days following the occurrence of such
Collateral Event and in any event not later than the granting of any Liens in
such collateral any MGM Senior Notes, the Mirage Senior Notes or any trustee
therefor, grant perfected Liens in the same collateral to secure the Obligations
(including any Related Swap Agreements) equally, ratably and on a pari passu
basis, provided that Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be
--------
obligated to provide Liens in any Property to the extent that Gaming Laws
prohibit the granting of Liens in such Property to the Administrative Agent and
the MGM Senior Notes unless and until all required approvals of Gaming Boards
thereto are obtained. In such event, Borrower shall, and shall cause each
Restricted Subsidiary to, use its best efforts to obtain all necessary consents
from the applicable Gaming Boards to grant a perfected Lien on such Property
securing the Obligations and, upon receipt of all consents needed to grant such
a perfected Lien, shall promptly take all action (or cause the Restricted
Subsidiaries to take all action) reasonably necessary in order to grant and
perfect such a Lien. The Liens granted pursuant to this clause (b) shall be (i)
equal, ratable and pari passu with any Liens securing the MGM Senior Notes, (ii)
granted concurrently with the granting of any Liens in favor of the MGM Senior
Notes or the Mirage Senior Notes (whichever first occurs), and (iii) granted
pursuant to instruments, documents and agreements which are reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and no less favorable to the
Administrative Agent and the other Creditors than those granted to the MGM
Senior Notes or the Mirage Senior Notes (whichever is most favorable to the
holders thereof). While each of the Liens contemplated by this clause (b) shall
be equal, ratable and pari passu in the manner described above, it is
---- -----
acknowledged that the same may subordinate to certain
prior Liens in favor of creditors other than the holders of the MGM Senior Notes
and the Mirage Senior Notes permitted pursuant to Section 6.7. In connection
with the granting of any such Liens, Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
shall provide to the Administrative Agent (y) policies of title insurance on
customary terms and conditions, to the extent that policies of title insurance
on the corresponding Property are provided to the holders of the MGM Senior
Notes (and in an insured amount that bears the same proportion to the principal
amount of the Commitment as the insured amount in the policies provided to the
holders of the MGM Senior Notes bears to the aggregate amount of the MGM Senior
Notes), and (z) legal opinions and other assurances as the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request.
(c) If, following any Collateral Event, Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are then entitled to the release of all of the equal, ratable and
pari passu Liens described in clause (b) above securing the MGM Senior Notes and
---- -----
the Mirage Senior Notes, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has
--------
then occurred and remains continuing, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may in their
sole discretion request that the Administrative Agent release any Liens securing
the Obligations in accordance with this clause (c). Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers shall submit any request under this Section in the form of a
Certificate, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
signed by a Senior Officer of Borrower and each Co-Borrower certifying that no
Default or Event of Default exists, together with a written consent to the
release of collateral executed by each Guarantor and such other supporting
information as the Administrative Agent may request, including evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Mirage Senior
Notes, the MGM Senior Notes and the creditors under the Other Loan Agreements
shall previously or concurrently release all Liens held by such creditors.
Promptly upon receipt of such a Certificate, the Administrative Agent shall
provide a copy thereof to the Banks and, unless the Requisite Banks contest the
accuracy thereof within five Banking Days, shall (i) execute and deliver to
Borrower and its Subsidiaries reconveyances and releases of such Liens, and (ii)
return to the Persons legally entitled thereto, all collateral pledged in
support of the Obligations, all at the sole expense of Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers (a "Collateral Release"), in each case subject to the requirement that
the Liens held by the Mirage Senior Notes, the MGM Senior Notes and the
creditors under the Other Loan Agreements are previously or concurrently
released. No Collateral Release shall constitute or be construed as a release
(or to require the release) of the Guaranty.
2.13 Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations shall be and hereby are
-------------------
designated as "Senior Indebtedness" with respect to all Subordinated Obligations
and all payments with respect to any Subordinated Obligations shall be subject
to Section 6.1.
Article 3

proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, with interest on overdue interest
at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(b) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan on the first Banking

every three months thereafter through the last day of the Eurodollar
Period) and on the last day of the related Eurodollar Period. Except as
------
otherwise provided in Section 3.9, the unpaid principal amount of any

Eurodollar Rate for that Eurodollar Rate Loan plus the applicable
----
Eurodollar Margin.

the Notes shall be payable as follows:
(i) the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding
Obligations at any time exceed the then applicable Commitment, shall

amount of the net cash proceeds of any offering of the debt or equity
securities of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries following the
Closing Date as required by Section 2.10; and

------
voluntary prepayment under this Section 3.1(f), (i) any partial prepayment
shall be not less than $5,000,000, or in integral multiples of $1,000,000
which are in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice of any prepayment by 9:00 a.m., California local
time, on the Banking Day prior to the date of prepayment (which must be a
Banking Day) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, three Banking Days before the date of prepayment,
which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the
Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) each prepayment of principal on any Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date
of payment on the amount of principal paid and (iv) any payment or
prepayment of all or any part of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other
than the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Period shall be subject to
Section 3.8(e). Promptly following receipt of a notice of prepayment under
clause (ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank by
telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by
telecopier) of the date and amount thereof.
(g) [Reserved].
(h) Each payment of principal by Borrower or Co-Borrower
hereunder shall be applied ratably to the Advances made to Borrower or that
Co-Borrower which are then due and payable, provided that if the
--------
Obligations are then accelerated or have deemed to have been accelerated,
each payment of principal hereunder shall be applied ratably to the
outstanding Advances.
3.2 Lead Arranger's Fees. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay
--------------------
to Lead Arranger through the Administrative Agent underwriting fees in the
amount heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between Borrower and the Lead
Arranger. These fees are for the services of the Lead Arranger in arranging the
credit facilities under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid and are
nonrefundable.
3.3 Upfront Fees. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to the
------------
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank, upfront fees in an amount
equal to (a) that Bank's allocated Pro Rata Share of the Commitment times (b) a
-----
fee percentage based upon the amount of the offered commitment of that Bank to
the credit facilities described herein, as set forth in a written confirmation
delivered to that Bank by the Lead Arranger, provided that the fee percentage
--------
for Bank of America shall be as set forth in a letter agreement with Bank of
America. Such upfront fees are for the credit facilities committed by each Bank
under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid. The upfront fees paid to
each Bank are solely for its own account and are nonrefundable.
3.4 Ticking Fee. In the event that the Closing Date does not
-----------
occur prior to May 25, 2000, then, during the period between May 25, 2000 and
the Closing Date, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Banks pro rata according to their Pro
Rata Share, a ticking fee equal to (a) for the first 45 days in any such period,
one half of the Ticking Fee Rate in effect from time to time times the principal
-----
amount of the Commitment, and (b) for any subsequent portion of such period, the
full amount of the Ticking Fee Rate in effect from time to time times the
-----
principal amount of the Commitment. The ticking fees shall be payable quarterly
in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the Closing Date and upon the date
of any
partial reduction or termination of the Commitment prior to the Closing Date
pursuant to Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 11.27.
3.5 [Reserved].
3.6 Agency Fees. On the Closing Date and annually thereafter,
-----------
Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an agency
fee in such amounts as heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between
Borrower and Bank of America and the Lead Arranger. The agency fee is for the
services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as Administrative
Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The agency fee paid to the
Administrative Agent is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable.
3.7 Increased Commitment Costs. If any Bank shall determine in
--------------------------
good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central
bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending
Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank, with any request, guideline or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of
any such central bank or other authority, affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation
controlling such Bank and (taking into consideration such Bank's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's desired
return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is
increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its
obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten Banking Days after demand of
such Bank, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to such Bank, from time to
time as specified in good faith by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Bank in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably
allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, provided that Borrower and
--------
the Co-Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior
to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is
attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the
date of such demand. Each Bank's determination of such amounts shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any request for compensation by a
Bank under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been
determined that such an amount is due from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, a
calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs
or diminished rate of return on capital have been incurred or sustained by the
Bank. If Borrower and the Co-Borrowers become obligated to pay a material
amount under this Section to any Bank, that Bank will be subject to removal in
accordance with Section 11.27; provided that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall
--------
have paid such amount to that Bank and that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers,
within the thirty day period following the date of such payment, shall have
notified that Bank in writing of their intent to so remove the Bank.
3.8 Eurodollar Costs and Related Matters.
------------------------------------
(a) In the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any
Bank any reserve or comparable requirement (including any emergency,
---------
supplemental or other reserve) with respect to the Eurodollar Obligations
of that Bank, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall pay that Bank
within five Banking Days after demand all amounts necessary to compensate
such Bank (determined as though such Bank's Eurodollar Lending Office had
funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated Eurodollar
Market) in respect
of the imposition of such reserve requirements. The Bank's determination of
such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of
any Special Eurodollar Circumstance:
(1) shall subject any Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office to
any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any Eurodollar
Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Advances or
its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, or shall change the
basis of taxation of payments to any Bank attributable to the
principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Advance or any other
amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Rate
Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Advances or its
obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, excluding (i) taxes
---------
imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income,
gross income or gross receipts, (ii) franchise taxes imposed by (A)
any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending
Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in
which it is "doing business," and (iii) any withholding taxes or other
taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America
for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower
with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the
extent such forms are then available under applicable Laws;
(2) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not
applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any
---------
reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office); or
(3) shall impose on any Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office or
the Designated Eurodollar Market any other condition affecting any
Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate
Advances, its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or this
Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same;
and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such
Bank, increases the cost to such Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or in respect of any
Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate
Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or reduces the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank or its Eurodollar
Lending Office with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its
Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Advances or its obligation to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances (assuming such Bank's Eurodollar Lending Office
had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated Eurodollar
Market), then, within five Banking Days after demand by such Bank (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay
to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Bank's
Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in
the Designated Eurodollar Market). A statement of any Bank claiming
compensa-
tion under this subsection and setting forth in reasonable detail the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error.
(c) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of
any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any
Bank, make it unlawful or impossible for such Bank or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Rate
Advance or materially restrict the authority of such Bank to purchase or
sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market,
or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate,
and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Bank's
obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended for the
duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent
forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Banks and Borrower. Upon
receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Bank's
Eurodollar Rate Advances, together with accrued interest thereon,
automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on either (1) the
last day of the Eurodollar Period(s) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate
Advances if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such
Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s) or (2) immediately if such Bank may
not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to
such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be
--------
subject to payment of a prepayment fee under clause (e) of this Section.
Each Bank agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of
which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will
cause that Bank to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and
agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good
faith judgment of such Bank, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to
such Bank. In the event that any Bank is unable, for the reasons set forth
above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or
Advance, such Bank shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the
same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a
Base Rate Advance. Any Bank whose obligation to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special
Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.
(d) If, with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan:
(1) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar Market
generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Banks,
deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
to any Bank in the Designated Eurodollar Market for the applicable
Eurodollar Period; or
(2) the Requisite Banks advise the Administrative Agent that the
Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not
represent the effective pricing to such Banks for deposits in Dollars
in the Designated Eurodollar Market in the relevant amount for the
applicable Eurodollar Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Banks of making the applicable Eurodollar
Rate Advances;
then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to
Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, the obligation of the Banks to make any future Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be suspended unless (but only if clause (2) above is the
------
basis for such suspension) Borrower and each Co-Borrower notify the
Administrative Agent in writing that they elect to pay the Enhanced
Eurodollar Margin with respect to all Eurodollar Rate Loans made during
such period.
(e) Upon payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advance
(other than as the result of a conversion required under clause (c) of this
------ ----
Section) on a day other than the last day in the applicable Eurodollar
Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise), or upon the failure of Borrower or any Co-Borrower (for a
reason other than the failure of a Bank to make an Advance) to borrow on
the date or in the amount specified for a Eurodollar Rate Advance in any
Request for Loan, or upon the failure of Borrower or any Co-Borrower to
prepay a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Advance on the date specified in a notice
of prepayment delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
3.1(e), Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Bank
within ten Banking Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to borrow
fee or failure to prepay fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100%
of that Bank's Eurodollar Rate Advance had been funded in the Designated
Eurodollar Market), equal to the sum of:
--- --
(1) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Rate Advance prepaid
or not borrowed or prepaid, as the case may be, times [the number of
-----
days from and including the date of prepayment or failure to borrow or
prepay, as applicable, to but excluding the last day in the applicable
Eurodollar Period], divided by 360, times the applicable Interest
---------- -----
Differential (provided that the product of the foregoing formula must
--------
be a positive number); plus
----
(2) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Bank reasonably
attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.
Each Bank's determination of the amount of any prepayment fee, failure to
borrow fee or failure to prepay fee payable under this Section shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(f) Each Bank agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of
any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing
Date, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to clause (a)
or clause (b) of this Section, and agrees to designate a different
Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or
reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith
judgment of such Bank, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such
Bank. Any request for compensation by a Bank under this Section shall set
forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is
due from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, a calculation of the amount due,
and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the
Bank.
(g) If any Bank claims compensation or is excused from making or
continuing Eurodollar Rate Loans or Advances under this Section:
(i) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may at any time, upon at
least four Eurodollar Banking Days' prior notice to the Administrative
Agent and such Bank and upon payment in full of the amounts provided
for in this Section through the date of such payment plus any
----
prepayment fee (subject to clause (c) of this Section) required by
clause (e) of this Section, pay in full the affected Eurodollar Rate
Advances of such Bank or request that such Eurodollar Rate Advances be
converted to Base Rate Advances; and
(ii) In the case where Borrower and the Co-Borrowers
become obligated to pay a material amount under this Section to any
Bank, that Bank will be subject to removal in accordance with Section
11.27; provided that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have paid
--------
such amount to that Bank and that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers,
within the thirty day period following the date of such payment, shall
have notified that Bank in writing of their intent to so remove the
Bank.
3.9 Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest or
-------------
any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Bank is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
rate otherwise payable with respect thereto plus 2% per annum (or, in the case
----
of any Obligations which do not bear stated interest, at the rate then otherwise
applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum), to the fullest extent
----
permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the
----------
last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws.
3.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on
--------------------------------
Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed; computation of
interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans and all fees under this Agreement shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers acknowledge that such latter calculation
method will result in a higher yield to the Banks than a method based on a year
of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the
Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for
the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess
of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be
payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder
or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted
amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.
3.11 Non-Banking Days. If any payment to be made by Borrower or
----------------
any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a
Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding
Banking Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest
and fees.
3.12 Manner and Treatment of Payments.
--------------------------------
(a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections
------
3.7, 3.8, 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan
Document shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, for the
account of each of the Banks or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, California
local time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All
payments received after such time, on any Banking Day, shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all payments
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank shall be
immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Bank in
immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the
Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, California local time, on a Banking Day
and not so made available to the account of a Bank on that Banking Day, the
Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Bank for the cost to such Bank of
funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments
shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.
(b) Each payment or prepayment on account of any Loan shall be
applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Bank
comprising such Loan.
(c) Each Bank shall use its best efforts to keep a record (which
may be in tangible or electronic or other intangible form) of Advances made
by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and,
subject to Section 10.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower and the
Co-Borrowers, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Bank to keep
such a record shall not affect Borrower's and the Co-Borrowers' joint and
several obligations to pay the Obligations.
(d) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other
Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or
other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or
comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole
---------
or in part by overall net income, gross income or gross receipts, (ii)
franchise taxes imposed on any Bank by (A) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal
office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business", (iii) any withholding
taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of
America that are not attributable to any change in any Law or the
interpretation or administration of any Law by any Governmental Agency and
(iv) any withholding tax or other taxes based on gross income imposed by
the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has
failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by
Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then available under applicable
Laws (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). To the extent that Borrower or any
other Party is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or
withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Bank under
this Agreement, they shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay
the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional
amount to that Bank as is necessary to result in that Bank's receiving a
net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Bank would have been
entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and
when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit to that
Bank on account of such Taxes, that Bank shall promptly refund such excess
to Borrower or the relevant Party. If Borrower or any such Party becomes
obligated to pay a material amount under this Section to any Bank, that
Bank will be subject to
removal in accordance with Section 11.27; provided that Borrower or the
--------
relevant Party shall have paid such amount to that Bank and that Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers, within the thirty day period following the date of

place or manner, provided that each Bank which is not a bank under the laws of

the United States or any state thereof severally represents and warrants that it
has obtained the funds for its Advances in compliance with applicable Laws and

Administrative Agent or any Bank not to require payment of any interest
(including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable

method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the
Administrative Agent's or such Bank's right to require full payment of any
interest (including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount
---------
payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another
method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent
occasion.

been notified by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers prior to the date on which any
payment to be made by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers hereunder is due that
Borrower and the Co-Borrowers do not intend to remit such payment, the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers have remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
each Bank on such payment date an amount equal to such Bank's share of such
assumed payment. If Borrower and the Co-Borrowers have not in fact remitted such
payment to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay
to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to
such Bank, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the

Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(k):
----- ----
(1) the Commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of
the Creditors and all rights of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and any
other Parties under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without
notice to or demand upon Borrower or any Co-Borrower, which are
expressly waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, except that all of
------
the Banks or the Requisite Banks (as the case may be, in accordance
with Section 11.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving,
determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Banks or
Requisite Banks, as the case may be, to reinstate the Commitment and
such other obligations and rights and make further Advances, which
waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding
upon, all the Banks;
(2) [Reserved]; and
(3) the Requisite Banks may request the Administrative Agent to,
and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitment
and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes,
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable
under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon
the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower and each Co-
Borrower.
(b) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event
of Default described in Section 9.1(k):
(1) the Commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of
the Creditors and all rights of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and any
other Parties under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice
to or demand upon Borrower or any Co-Borrower, which are expressly
waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, except
------
that all of the Banks may waive the Event of Default or, without
waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the
Banks, to reinstate the Commitment and such other obligations and
rights and make further Advances, which determination shall apply
equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Banks;
(2) [Reserved]; and
(3) the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents
shall be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment,
notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which
are expressly waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers.
(c) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event
of Default, the Creditors, or any of them, without notice to (except as
------
expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower or any
Co-Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers
(except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may
-------
proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Banks) to protect,
exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents
against Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and any other Party and such other
rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.

remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Banks in
their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Creditors, or any
of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and the reasonably allocated
costs of attorneys employed by any of the Creditors) of the Creditors, and
thereafter paid pro rata to the Banks in the same proportions that the
aggregate Obligations owed to each Bank under the Loan Documents bear to
the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Banks,
without priority or preference among the Banks. Regardless of how each
Bank may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the
purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder and under the Notes,
payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the
-----
Creditors, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid
------
interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such
application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and
unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the
-----
payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to
the Creditors under the Loan Documents. Amounts due to a Bank under a
Related Swap Agreement shall be considered a principal amount for purposes
of the preceding sentence. No application of payments will cure any Event
of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts
payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued
exercise, of rights or remedies of the Banks hereunder or thereunder or at
Law or in equity.
Article 10
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
------------------------
10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section 10.8, each
-----------------------------
Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan
Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or
are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto.
This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of
facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of
the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Bank or as representative of any
Bank for any other purpose and, except as specifically set forth in the Loan
------
Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and
exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.
10.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Bank of America (and
-----------------------------------
each successor Administrative Agent) has the same rights and powers under the
Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not
the Administrative Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" includes Bank of
America in its individual capacity. Bank of America (and each successor
Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with
Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to the Banks. Bank of America (and each successor
Administrative Agent) need not account to any other Bank for any monies received
by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as Administrative Agent
hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Bank hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary or other
special relationship with any Bank and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
10.3 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral. The Administrative
----------------------------------------
Agent, on behalf of all the Banks, shall hold in accordance with the Loan
Documents all items of any collateral or interests therein received or held by
the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent's and the Banks'
rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including
---------
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services and
the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent
or a Bank) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with Section
9.2(d), each Bank shall have an interest in the Banks' interest in the
collateral or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate
Obligations owed such Bank under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate
Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Banks, without priority or
preference among the Banks, except that Obligations owed to any Bank under a
------
Related Swap Agreement shall be secured on an equal, ratable and pari passu
---- -----
basis with all other Obligations up to an amount equal to the Administrative
Agent's then customary credit risk factor for Swap Agreements times the notional
amount of Indebtedness covered by such Related Swap Agreement and shall be
secured on a subordinate basis as to amounts in excess of such amount.
10.4 Banks' Credit Decisions. Each Bank agrees that it has,
-----------------------
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other
Creditor or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys thereof, and
instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries and upon such other information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own inde-
pendent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank
also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any other Creditor or the directors, officers, agents,
employees or attorneys thereof, continue to make its own independent credit
analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.
10.5 Action by Administrative Agent.
------------------------------
(a) Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the
existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default
has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers stating the nature of
the Default or has received notice from a Bank stating the nature of the
Default and that such Bank considers the Default to have occurred and to be
continuing.
(b) The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the
Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.
(c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan
------
Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may,
but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act,
except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not act
------
upon the instructions of the Requisite Banks (or of all the Banks, to the
extent required by Section 11.2) and those instructions shall be binding
upon the Administrative Agent and all the Banks, provided that the
--------
Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so
would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or could
result, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, in a material risk of
liability to the Administrative Agent.
(d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified
in clause (a), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice
thereof to the Banks and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the
Requisite Banks (or of all the Banks, to the extent required by Section
11.2), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act
--------
or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to
applicable Law or could result, in the judgment of the Administrative
Agent, in a material risk of liability to the Administrative Agent, and
except that if the Requisite Banks (or all the Banks, if required under
------
Section 11.2) fail, for five Banking Days after the receipt of notice from
the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it
deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Banks.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Bank
for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite Banks (or all the
Banks, if required under Section 11.2), notwithstanding any other provision
hereof.
10.6 Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative
---------------------------------
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan
Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful
------
misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and
its directors, officers, agents and employees:
(a) May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until
the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the
payee, and may treat each Bank as the owner of that Bank's interest in the
Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative
Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Bank;
(b) May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal
---------
counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other
---------
professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants
or other professionals or experts for Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries or
the Banks, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel,
accountants or other professionals or experts;
(c) Shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statement,
warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any
notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral)
given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents;
(d) Shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or
observance by Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any of the terms, conditions
or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any collateral or
the Property, books or records of Borrower or its Subsidiaries;
(e) Will not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency
or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished
pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any collateral;
(f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in
reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement,
request or other instrument or writing believed in good faith by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and
(g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in
computing any amount paid or payable by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any
Bank under any Loan Document, including, principal, interest, commitment
---------
fees, Advances and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of
--------
such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Banks and (to
the extent applicable) Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall
make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore
the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not
occurred.
10.7 Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with
---------------
its Pro Rata Share (if the Commitment is then in effect) or in accordance with
its proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness
then evidenced by the Notes (if the Commitment has then been terminated),
indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents,
employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
---------
attorneys' fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by
the Administrative Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against it or them in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of the
Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any
action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent thereunder, except such
------
as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation on the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent
upon demand for that Bank's Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket cost or expense
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring,
reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted
---------
enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower, any Co-Borrower
or any other Party is required by Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but
fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section shall entitle the
Administrative Agent to recover any amount from the Banks if and to the extent
that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower, and Co-Borrower
or any other Party. To the extent that the Administrative Agent is later
reimbursed such cost or expense by Borrower, a Co-Borrower or any other Party,
it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Banks in respect of such cost or
expense.
10.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may,
------------------------------
and at the request of the Requisite Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent
upon thirty days' notice to the Banks and Borrower. If the Administrative Agent
shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Banks
shall appoint from among the Banks a successor Administrative Agent for the
Banks, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by Borrower (and
such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that, to
--------
the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, the incumbent Administrative
Agent shall remain the collateral agent for the Creditors with respect to any
collateral for which a lienholder must be qualified under such Gaming Laws until
the new Administrative Agent can be so qualified (but the incumbent
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the indemnities and other protections
provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder in such capacity). If no
successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint,
after consulting with the Banks and the Borrower, a successor Administrative
Agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor
Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Article 10, and Sections 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22, shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If (a) the Administrative Agent has
not been paid its agency fees under Section 3.6 or has not been reimbursed for
any expense reimbursable to it under Section 11.3, in either case for a period
of at least one year and (b) no successor Administrative Agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty days following a
retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective
and the Banks
shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Requisite Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above.
10.9 Foreclosure on Collateral. In the event of foreclosure or
-------------------------
enforcement of the Lien created by any of the Loan Documents, title to any
collateral encumbered thereby shall be taken and held by the Administrative
Agent (or an Affiliate or designee thereof) pro rata for the benefit of the
Banks in accordance with the Obligations outstanding to each of them and shall
be administered in accordance with the standard form of collateral holding
participation agreement used by the Administrative Agent in comparable
syndicated credit facilities.
10.10 Intercreditor Arrangements; Attornment Agreements. Provided
-------------------------------------------------
that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred, the Administrative Agent
is hereby irrevocably authorized by the other Creditors to enter into (a)
intercreditor arrangements acceptable to the Administrative Agent with creditors
(or a trustee or other representative for such creditors) holding the Mirage
Senior Notes, the MGM Senior Notes and the Other Loan Agreements to effectuate
the provisions of Section 6.7 requiring any Liens of the Administrative Agent to
be equal, ratable and pari passu with the creditors holding the Mirage Senior
---- -----
Notes, the MGM Senior Notes and the Other Loan Agreements, provided that any
such arrangements shall require the concurrent release of the Liens held by such
creditors if a Collateral Release occurs, and (b) attornment, non-disturbance
and estoppel agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent with lessees of
interests in leases of real property from Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries permitted hereby, provided in each case that not less than 5
--------
Business Days prior to entering into any such arrangement or agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall circulate drafts thereof to the Banks, and the
Requisite Banks shall not have objected to the form thereof.
10.11 No Obligations of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers. Nothing
-----------------------------------------------
contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower or any Co-
Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the
Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Banks under any provision of this
Agreement, and Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have no liability to the
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks in respect of any failure by the
Administrative Agent or any Bank to perform any of its obligations to the
Creditors under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any
amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall
be made by Borrower or the Co-Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Banks, Borrower's and the Co-Borrowers' obligations to the Banks
in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of
such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this
Agreement.
Article 11
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers,
------------------------------
privileges and remedies of the Creditors provided herein or in any Note or other
Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or
remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or
remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or
partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.
The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit
of the Creditors; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without
terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the
Administrative Agent's or the Banks' rights to assert them in whole or in part
in respect of any other Loan.
11.2 Amendments; Consents. Each amendment, modification,
--------------------
supplement, extension, termination, waiver, approval and consent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the terms of all
applicable Laws, including Gaming Laws. No amendment, modification, supplement,
extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any
departure by the Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or any other Party therefrom, may in
any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with
the approval of Requisite Banks (and, in the case of any amendment, modification
or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a Party, signed by each such Party, and, in the case of any
amendment, modification or supplement to Article 10, signed by the
Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the Banks,
no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be
effective:
(a) To (i) reduce the principal of, or the amount of principal,
principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any Note, or (ii)
to increase the amount of the Commitment or the Pro Rata Share of any Bank
or (iii) to reduce the amount of any commitment fee payable to any Bank, or
any other fee or amount payable to any Bank under the Loan Documents or
(iv) to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower or
the Co-Borrowers to pay when due principal, interest or any facility or
other fee;
(b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of,
prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Note or
any installment of any commitment fee, or to extend the term of the
Commitment;
(c) [Reserved];
(d) To release the Guaranty or any material portion of any
collateral for the Obligations, provided that if no Default or Event of
--------
Default exists, the Administrative Agent may without the consent of any
Bank (and shall at the request of Borrower), (i) release its Lien in any
personal property financed or leased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
and granted a Lien in accordance with Section 6.7(e), (ii) release its Lien
in any collateral as otherwise may be expressly provided for in any Loan
Document, (iii) release its Lien in the equity securities of,
and the Guaranty executed by, any Subsidiary which is the subject of a
Disposition permitted under Section 6.2 or which has Property having a
value of less than $500,000 as of the date of such release, (iv)
subordinate its Lien with respect to any Property which is the subject of a
Disposition permitted under Section 6.2, (v) release its Lien in any
Property which is the subject of a Distribution not prohibited by this
Agreement, and (vi) release all of the Liens under the Loan Documents in a
Collateral Release under Section 2.12.
(e) To amend the provisions of the definitions of "Requisite
---------
Banks" or "Maturity Date";
----- -------------
(f) To amend or waive Article 8, Section 6.4 or this Section; or
(g) To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly
requires the consent or approval of all the Banks.
Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant
to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all of the
Creditors.
11.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers
-------------------------
shall pay within five Banking Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice
therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the
Lead Arranger in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication,
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver
thereof. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall also pay on demand, accompanied by
an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Creditors in
connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a
---------
bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan
Documents, and any matter related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses
shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees,
search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out-
of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of
---------
legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Bank), independent
public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative
Agent or any Bank, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or
suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in connection with or during
the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof. Such costs and expenses shall also include, in the case of
any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document requested by Borrower or the Co-
Borrowers, the administrative costs of the Administrative Agent reasonably
attributable thereto. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay any and all
documentary and other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole
---------
or in part by overall net income, gross income or gross receipts and franchise
taxes imposed on any Bank by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision
thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or
Eurodollar Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision
thereof) in which it is "doing business", (ii) any withholding taxes or other
taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America that are not
attributable to any change in any Law or the interpretation or administration of
any Law by any Governmental Agency and (iii) any withholding tax or other taxes
based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period
with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate
form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then
required by applicable Laws, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable
or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be
delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction
pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on
the terms set forth in 11.11 the Creditors from and against any and all loss,
liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay
in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that
any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform
any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any
Bank under this Section shall bear interest from the second Banking Day
following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.
11.4 Nature of Banks' Obligations. The obligations of the Banks
----------------------------
hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Creditors
or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the
Banks a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either
among themselves or with the Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or any Affiliate of
Borrower. Each Bank's obligation to make any Advance pursuant hereto is several
and not joint or joint and several, and in the case of the initial Advance only
is conditioned upon the performance by all other Banks of their obligations to
make initial Advances. A default by any Bank will not increase the Pro Rata
Share of any other Bank. Any Bank not in default may, if it desires, assume in
such proportion as the nondefaulting Banks agree the obligations of any Bank in
default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it
will use its best efforts either to induce the other Banks to assume the
obligations of a Bank in default or to obtain another Bank, reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, to replace such a Bank in
default.
11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
------------------------------------------
representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or
more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Loans
hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be
relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, notwithstanding any
investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf.
11.6 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan
------- ------
Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications
provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be in writing and
must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or
delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature
pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to
any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written
notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this
Section. Borrower and the Co-Borrower expressly agree that the credit
facilities provided hereunder are being provided for the joint convenience of
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including the Co-Borrowers, and that
(despite the joint and several nature of the Obligations), it is expected that
Borrower shall administer the Advances on behalf of itself and the Co-Borrowers.
Accordingly, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers agree that any notice provided to
Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to constitute the same notice to the Co-
Borrowers, without the requirement that separate notices be provided to the Co-
Borrowers. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any
------
notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted
by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of
receipt or the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with
first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when
delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by
telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled
delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered.
11.7 Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent
---------------------------
otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and
any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any
party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed
and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken
together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution
of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the
signature of such party followed by prompt transmission of an original
signature. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any
party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or
thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or
thereto.
11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.
--------------------------
(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers are a Party will be binding upon and inure to the
exclusive benefit of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Creditors, and their
respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower and the Co-
------
Borrowers may not assign their respective rights hereunder or thereunder or
any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the
Banks. Each Bank represents that it is not acquiring its Notes with a
view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of its
Notes must be within the control of such Bank). Any Bank may at any time
pledge its Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Bank
under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall
release that Bank from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal
Reserve Bank the rights of a Bank hereunder absent foreclosure of such
pledge.
(b) From time to time, each Bank may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share, provided that
--------
(i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Bank or an Affiliate of the
assigning Bank, shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and
(if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (none of
which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) such
assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment Agreement, a copy of which
shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided,
(iii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning
------
Bank, to another Bank or of the entire remaining Commitment of the
assigning Bank, the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share that is
less than $5,000,000, (iv) the effective date of any such assignment shall
be as specified in the Assignment Agreement, but not earlier than the date
which is five Banking Days after the date the Administrative Agent has
received the Assignment Agreement, (v) such assignment shall be of a
constant and non-varying percentage of the Pro Rata Share of the assigning
Bank, and (vi) the assignor Bank shall have paid a $3500 assignment fee to
the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of such Assignment
Agreement, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Bank for all
purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share set forth therein and,
to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Bank shall be released
from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers agree that they shall execute and
deliver (against delivery by the assigning Bank to Borrower of its Note) to
such assignee Bank, a Note evidencing that assignee Bank's Pro Rata Share,
and to the assigning Bank, a Note evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata
Share retained by the assigning Bank.
(c) By executing and delivering a Assignment Agreement, the
Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than
the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner
of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse
claim, the assigning Bank has made no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Bank has
made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the
performance by Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the Obligations; (iii) it
has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most
recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment Agreement;
(iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are
required to be performed by it as a Bank.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a
register (the "Register") of the names and address of each of the Banks and
the Pro Rata Share held by each Bank, giving effect to each Assignment
Agreement. The Register shall be available during normal business hours
for inspection by Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or any Bank upon reasonable
prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and
the Creditors shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Banks in the
Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Share listed therein for
all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Pro Rata
Share shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Assignment
Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been
accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as
provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect
to the applicable Pro Rata Share shall be owed to the Bank listed in the
Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any
Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent, is listed in the Register as a Bank shall be conclusive and
binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the
corresponding Pro Rata Share.
(e) Each Bank may from time to time grant participations to one
or more banks or other financial institutions (including another Bank) in a
---------
portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that (i) such Bank's
-------- -------
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other
financial institutions shall
not be a Bank hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation
------
agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.11 and
11.22 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower and
the Co-Borrowers does not exceed the cost which Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers would have incurred in respect of such Bank absent the
participation, (iv) Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a
percentage of the granting Bank's Pro Rata Share as it then exists and
shall not restrict an increase in the Commitment, or in the granting Bank's
Pro Rata Share, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not
affected thereby, and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation
interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of
the Loan Documents other than those which (A) extend the Maturity Date or
----------
any other date upon which any payment of money is due to the Banks, (B)
reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or any other monetary
amount payable to the Banks, (C) reduce the amount of any installment of
principal due under the Notes, (D) release the Guaranty, or (E) change the
definition of "Requisite Banks."
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the
rights of the Banks to make assignments of, and grant participations in,
their Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment shall be subject to the approval of
any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, and to
compliance with applicable securities laws, if any.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Bank (a "Granting Bank") may grant to one or more SPC's established or
maintained by that Granting Bank the option to provide all or any part of
any Loan or Advance that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to
make pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3, provided that (i) nothing herein
shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if a SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any
part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan
pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be
derivative of the rights of the Granting Bank, and each SPC shall be
subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Bank herein contained.
Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its
Granting Bank for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a
manner which is acceptable to the SPC, and the Administrative Agent, the
other Creditors, Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and each other Party shall be
entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Bank with respect
to Loans and Advances made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by
a SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Bank. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or
similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which
shall remain with the related Granting Bank). In furtherance of the
foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive
the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year
and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior
indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, provided that the
-------- ----
Granting Bank for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold
harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense
arising out of their
inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.8,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of,
the Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its
interests in any Loans to its Granting Bank or to any financial
institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the
account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the
securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing
contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the
Granting Bank to make Loans hereunder), provided that neither the consent
-------- ----
of the SPC or of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or
waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents except for those amendments or
waivers for which the consent of participants is required under Section
11.8(e)(vi), and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner
described in Section 11.14) any non-public information relating to its
Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a
surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
11.9 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
---------------
continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Bank (but in each case only with the
consent of the Requisite Banks) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted
by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by
Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and/or any of their Property in its possession
against the Obligations.
11.10 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Bank severally agrees that if it,
------------------
through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim
against Borrower, any Co-Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the
Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Bank, through any
means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Bank, then, subject
to applicable Laws: (a) the Bank exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien
or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be
deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Bank a participation in
the Obligations held by the other Bank and shall pay to the other Bank a
purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each
Bank after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or
receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the
exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of
payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be
made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Banks
share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance
with each Bank's share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without
taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a
--------
disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of
setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Bank by Borrower, any Co-Borrower or any Person claiming through
or succeeding to the rights of Borrower or a Co-Borrower, the purchase of a
participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be
restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Bank that
purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from
and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the
portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing
Bank were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower and each
Co-Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any
Bank holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and
all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the
participation as fully as if the Bank were the original owner of the Obligation
purchased.
11.11 Indemnity by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers. Borrower and
------------------------------------------
each Co-Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, save and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent and each Bank and their Affiliates and their
directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the
"Indemnitees") from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or
------------
causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any
------
amount excluded from the definition of "Taxes" in Section 3.12(d)) if the claim,
demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or
omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of
their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitment, the use or
contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of Borrower, the
Co-Borrowers and the Banks under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or
investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to
a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and
(c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable
---------
attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any
Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services)
that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any
foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee
--------
shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section for any loss caused by
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against
it by another Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is
asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers shall not affect their obligations under this Section unless such
failure materially prejudices Borrower's and the Co-Borrowers' right to
participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as
hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount
of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower and
the Co-Borrowers to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes
to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower or any Co-
Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or
compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or
proceeding and shall obtain Borrower's and each Co-Borrowers prior consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In connection with any
claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section against more
than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal
counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys
employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the
Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers;
provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing
--------
all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws
or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or
counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such
Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of
interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim,
each Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel
selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid
unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further
-------
provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be
--------
entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or
attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the
foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to any
Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement, the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of
all other Obligations owed to the Banks.
11.12 Nonliability of the Banks. Borrower and each Co-Borrower
-------------------------
acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries made by or through the Creditors are for purposes of
administration of the Loans only and Borrower and its Affiliates are not
entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the
expense of Borrower or its Subsidiaries);
(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed,
performed, fulfilled or given to the Creditors pursuant to the Loan
Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Banks shall be deemed
to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness
or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition
thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a
warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Creditors;
(c) The relationship between Borrower and the Co-Borrowers and
the Creditors is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers
and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Banks shall under any
circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or
its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Banks shall under
any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust
or a fiduciary or other "special" relationship with Borrower or its
Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates;
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Banks undertake or assume any
responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review,
inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates
of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of
Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely
upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review,
inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information
undertaken or assumed by the Creditors in connection with such matters is
solely for the protection of the Creditors and neither Borrower, the Co-
Borrowers nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and
(d) The Creditors shall not be responsible or liable to any
Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to
injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions,
inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower and
the Co-Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the Creditors harmless on the
terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or
claim.
11.13 No Third Parties Benefitted. This Agreement is made for the
---------------------------
purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of
Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Creditors in connection with the Loans, and
is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Creditors, and
the Creditors' successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8,
------
11.11, and 11.29 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder
or by reason hereof.
11.14 Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees to hold any confidential
---------------
information that it may receive from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers pursuant to
this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Banks (or,
------
subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions, Affiliates of any Bank);
(b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower and the Co-Borrowers or any
Bank; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers or any
Bank, provided that the recipient
has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement
substantially similar to this Section; (d) to regulatory officials having
jurisdiction over that Bank; (e) to any Gaming Board having regulatory
jurisdiction over Borrower or its Subsidiaries, provided that each Bank agrees
to use its best efforts to notify Borrower and the Co-Borrowers of any such
disclosure unless prohibited by applicable Laws; (f) as required by Law or legal
process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Bank and
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are adverse parties; and (g) to another
financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition
to that financial institution of all or part of that Bank's interests hereunder
or a participation interest in its Notes, provided that the recipient has
accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially
similar to this Section. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential
information" shall mean any information respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries
reasonably considered by Borrower to be confidential, other than (i) information
----------
previously filed with any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii)
information previously published in any public medium from a source other than,
directly or indirectly, that Bank, and (iii) information previously disclosed by
Borrower or its Subsidiaries to any Person not associated with Borrower without
a confidentiality agreement or obligation substantially similar to this Section.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any
fiduciary duty on the part of the Creditors to Borrower or any other Party.
11.15 Further Assurances. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at
------------------
their expense and without expense to the Banks or the Administrative Agent, do,
execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Banks or
the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring
and confirming unto the Banks or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby
created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention
or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.
11.16 Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and
-----------
the letter agreements referred to in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.6, comprise the
complete and integrated agreements of the parties on the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter
hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
--------
remedies in favor of the Creditors in any other Loan Document shall not be
deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the
joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed
neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the
fair meaning thereof.
11.17 Governing Law. Except to the extent otherwise provided
------------- ------
therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the local Laws of Nevada.
11.18 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan
--------------------------
Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any
party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions
or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other
party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan
Documents are declared to be severable.
11.19 Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and
--------
the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are
not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.
11.20 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan
-------------------
Documents.
11.21 Foreign Banks and Participants. Each Bank that is
------------------------------
incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia
shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), within
twenty (20) days after the Closing Date (or after accepting an assignment or
receiving a participation interest herein pursuant to Section 11.8, if
applicable) two duly completed copies, signed by a Responsible Official, of
either Form 1001 (relating to such Bank and entitling it to a complete exemption
from withholding on all payments to be made to such Bank by Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or Form 4224 (relating to all payments to
be made to such Bank by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers pursuant to this
Agreement) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or such other evidence
(including, if reasonably necessary, Form W-9), or any successor form(s),
---------
satisfactory to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that
no withholding under the federal income tax laws is required with respect to
such Bank. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Bank shall upon request
by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (a) promptly submit to Borrower and the Co-
Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such additional duly
completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as
shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing
authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and
regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower, the Co-
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United
States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Bank by
Borrower and the Co-Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and (b) take such steps
as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of
such Bank, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of
its Eurodollar Lending Office, if any) to avoid any requirement of applicable
Laws that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers make any deduction or withholding for
taxes from amounts payable to such Bank. In the event that Borrower, the Co-
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent become aware that a participation has been
granted pursuant to Section 11.8(e) to a financial institution that is
incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
then, upon request made by Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent to the Bank which granted such participation, such Bank shall cause such
participant financial institution to deliver the same documents and information
to Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent as would be required
under this Section if such financial institution were a Bank.
11.22 Hazardous Material Indemnity. Borrower and each Co-Borrower
----------------------------
hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of
the Banks (and any successor to a Bank) and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial
proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement
actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of
---------
attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Bank, and expenses to the
extent that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower and
the Co-Borrowers), arising directly
or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in, under or about any Real Property
of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous
Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (ii) any activity carried on
or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower its Subsidiaries or any of
their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this
Agreement, and whether by Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any predecessor in title
or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower, its
Subsidiaries or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at any time
occupying or present on any Real Property (other than a Bank or a representative
----------
of a Bank), in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage,
decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at
any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property; provided
--------
that, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding (including Exhibit J), the
liability of Detroit shall be limited to that portion of the Obligations which
are used, directly or indirectly, to finance the design, development,
construction or operation of the Detroit Project or which are actually borrowed
or received by Detroit. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any
residual contamination on, in, under or about any Real Property, or affecting
any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural
resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage,
transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of
whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with
applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous
Materials on any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the
Creditors. Borrower and each Co-Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers
under this Section (and under Sections 4.18 and 5.9) shall be unlimited
corporate obligations of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers and shall not be secured
---
by any deed of trust or mortgage on any Real Property. Any obligation or
liability of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to any Indemnitee under this Section
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the repayment of
all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the
Banks.
11.23 Gaming Boards. The Administrative Agent and each of the
-------------
Banks agree to cooperate with all Gaming Boards in connection with the
administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents or other information as
---------
may be requested by any such Gaming Board relating to Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or to the Loan Documents.
11.24 Lien Releases. The Administrative Agent shall release any
-------------
Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent on any collateral for the
Obligations (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with
any transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents, (ii) constituting Property
leased to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease which has expired or been
terminated in a transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents or which will
concurrently expire and which has not been, and is not intended by Borrower or
the relevant Subsidiary to be, renewed or extended, (iii) consisting of an
instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced by such instrument has been finally
repaid in full, (iv) if approved or consented to by those of the Banks required
by Section 11.2, or (v) as otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents.
If the collateral so released consists of capital stock of a Subsidiary, then
the Administrative Agent shall concurrently also release such Subsidiary from
its obligations under the Guaranty. Upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, each Bank shall promptly provide written confirmation of the authority of
the Administrative Agent to release such Liens upon any one or more items of
collateral under this Section.
11.25 Termination; Release of Liens. In addition to any Collateral
-----------------------------
Release as contemplated in Section 2.12 and the release of the Liens heretofore
securing the Old Loan Agreement, upon (a) the expiration or termination of the
Commitment, (b) the full and final payment in Cash of the Loans, all interest
and fees with respect thereto, (c) the payment of all amounts then demanded by
any Bank or indemnitee under Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.11 and 11.22 and (d) the
payment of all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Banks to, and the
Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers,
execute and deliver to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers discharges from further
compliance with the covenants contained in Articles 5, 6, and 7 and releases of
the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and shall return any Property pledged
to the Administrative Agent as collateral for the Obligations, notwithstanding
the survival of any provisions of this Agreement herein provided for.
11.26 Nevada Gaming Collateral. If any Collateral Event occurs, the
------------------------
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent required by Gaming Laws, retain
possession of all pledged collateral consisting of the capital stock of (a)
Nevada gaming licensees within the State of Nevada at a location designated to
the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, and (b) gaming licensees in other
jurisdictions at a location in that jurisdiction designated to the Gaming Board
of that jurisdiction, if so required by the Gaming Board of that jurisdiction.
11.27 Removal of a Bank. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have
-----------------
the right to remove a Bank as a party to this Agreement in accordance with this
Section (a) under the circumstances set forth in Sections 2.10, 3.7, 3.8(g) and
3.12(d) and (b) if such Bank is the subject of a Disqualification. If Borrower
and the Co-Borrowers are entitled to remove a Bank pursuant to this Section
either:
------
(x) Upon notice from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, the Bank being
removed shall execute and deliver a Assignment Agreement covering that
Bank's Pro Rata Share in favor of one or more Eligible Assignees
designated by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (and acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably
delayed or withheld), subject to payment of a purchase price by such
Eligible Assignee equal to all principal and accrued interest, fees
and other amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement through
the date of assignment; or
(y) Except in the case of the removal of a Bank pursuant to Section
2.10, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may reduce the Commitment pursuant
to Section 2.8 (and, for this purpose, the numerical requirements of
such Section shall not apply) by an amount equal to that Bank's Pro
Rata Share, pay and provide to such Bank the amounts, assurances and
indemnities described in subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (x) above
and release such Bank from its Pro Rata Share.
11.28 Joint and Several. Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers shall
-----------------
be obligated for all of the Obligations on a joint and several basis,
notwithstanding which of them may have directly received the proceeds of any
particular Loan or Advance, provided that, anything to the contrary herein
--------
notwithstanding (including Exhibit J), the liability of Detroit shall be limited
to that portion of the Obligations which are used, directly or indirectly, to
finance the design, development, construction or operation of the Detroit
Project or which are actually borrowed or received by Detroit. Borrower and
each of the Co-Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the Loan
Documents, Borrower,
the Co-Borrowers and the Guarantors constitute a single integrated financial
enterprise and that each receives a benefit from the availability of credit
under this Agreement. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers each waive all defenses
arising under the Laws of suretyship, to the extent such Laws are applicable, in
connection with their joint and several obligations under this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers agree to
the Joint Borrower Provisions set forth in Exhibit J, incorporated by this
reference.
11.29 Non-Involvement of Tracinda. The parties hereto acknowledge
---------------------------
that neither Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx nor Tracinda Corporation, individually or
collectively, is a party to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
executed on the Closing Date. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree that
in the event (i) there is any alleged breach or default by any Party under this
Agreement or any such Loan Document, or (ii) any party hereto has any claim
arising from or relating to any such Loan Document, no party hereto, nor any
party claiming through it (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), shall
commence any proceedings or otherwise seek to impose any liability whatsoever
against Xx. Xxxxxxxxx or Tracinda Corporation by reason of such alleged breach,
default or claim.
11.30 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS

AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR
ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED

SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY.
11.31 Purported Oral Amendments. BORROWER AND EACH CO-BORROWER
-------------------------
EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY
BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR
SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 11.2.
BORROWER AND EACH CO-BORROWER AGREE THAT THEY WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF
DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY
