ARTICLE II
AMENDMENTS TO FINANCE INDENTURE
Section 2.1. ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Section 3.11 of the Finance
Indenture is deleted in its entirety and replaced in full by the following,
which shall read in its entirety as follows:
RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Issuer will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to issue any additional Capital Stock and agrees that the Capital
Stock of its Subsidiaries pledged to the holders of the Securities pursuant to
the Collateral Agreements herein shall at all times constitute one hundred
percent (100%) of the Cyprus Entity, 100% of the Capital Stock of any U.S.
Subsidiary and of any foreign Subsidiary, where, as to such foreign
Subsidiary, such pledge shall not create a "deemed dividend", and sixty-six
percent (66%) of the Capital Stock of any foreign Subsidiary where such pledge
shall not create a deemed dividend and where a pledge of more than that
percentage would create a "deemed dividend". Furthermore, Issuer will not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to conduct any business through or otherwise
own any shares or interests of any class of Capital Stock of any other
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other Person, other
than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything above to the
contrary, Issuer shall be permitted to own one hundred percent 100% of SC98A,
s.r.o. so long as one hundred percent 100% of the Capital Stock of 21st
Century is owned by SC98A, s.r.o. and sixty-six percent (66%) of the Capital
Stock of 21st Century remains pledged by the Issuer to TWG Finance and the
Trustee to secure repayment of the Securities. Alternatively, and
notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Capital Stock of 21st
Century may be conveyed to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Issuer, ("Newco") and
the Security Interest in the Capital Stock of 21st Century released so long as
sixty-six percent (66%) of the Capital Stock of Newco is pledged to secure
repayment of the Securities. In the event the Capital Stock of 21st
-3-
Century is transferred to SC98A, s.r.o., the Issuers shall promptly take all
reasonable action necessary to replace SC98A, s.r.o. with a Czech joint stock
company which is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (the "Substitute Entity") of TWG
International, sixty-six (66%) of the Capital Stock of which Substitute Entity
shall be pledged to secure repayment of the Securities. TWG may own one
percent (1%) of the outstanding Capital Stock of Newco or the Substitute
Entity so long as such shares are pledged to the Trustee by TWG to secure the
repayment of the Securities.
Section 2.2. SECURITY INTERESTS. Section 3.23 of the Finance
Indenture is deleted in its entirety and replaced in full by the following,
which shall read in its entirety as follows:
SECURITY INTEREST. The Issuer shall, including, to the extent
necessary post-closing, execute, and shall cause such direct and indirect
Subsidiaries as are necessary to execute, such documents as are necessary to
grant the Trustee and the Holder a Security Interest in all assets of the
Cyprus Entity and of any other direct and/or indirect Subsidiary where and to
the extent that such pledge shall not create a "deemed dividend" under U.S.
tax law. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event SC98A,
s.r.o. is acquired as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer and 21st Century
Resorts, a.s. is transferred to SC98A, s.r.o., sixty-six percent (66%) of the
Capital Stock of 21st Century Resorts, a.s. shall remain pledged to secure
repayment of the Securities even in the event such a pledge shall cause a
"deemed dividend". Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the
event Newco or the Substitute Entity become a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of
Issuer (subject to the right of TWG to hold one percent (1%) of the Capital
Stock of either), a Security Interest in sixty-six percent (66%) of the
Capital Stock of Newco or the Substitute Entity, as the case may be, shall be
granted to secure repayment of the Securities or, if such grant is not
possible, sixty-six percent (66%) of the Capital Stock of 21st Century
Resorts, a.s. shall remain pledged to secure repayment of the Securities even
in the event such pledges as set forth in this sentence shall cause a "deemed
dividend". Should the holders of a majority of the Securities issued pursuant
to the Primary Indenture so request, the Issuer shall take all steps
reasonably necessary to grant to the Trustee and TWG Finance a Security
Interest in SC98A, s.r.o. Such grant shall not require a release of the
Security Interest in 21st Century Resorts, a.s. The Issuer shall reimburse all
reasonable costs, including attorneys fees incurred by such of the Security
Holders and Trustee in preparing and executing documents required to comply
with this Indenture.
Section 2.3. OWNERSHIP OF 21ST CENTURY RESORTS, A.S. A new Section
3.24 of the Finance Indenture shall read as follows:
Section 3.24 OWNERSHIP OF 21ST CENTURY RESORTS A.S. One hundred
percent of the Capital Stock of 21st Century Resorts, a.s. may be transferred
to SC98A, s.r.o. so long as sixty-six percent (66%) of the Capital Stock of
21st Century Resorts, a.s. shall remain pledged to secure repayment of the
Finance Note. One hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Stock of 21st Century
Resorts, a.s. may be transferred by Issuer to Newco or the Substitute Entity
simultaneous with (a) the release by the Holders and the Trustee of the
Security Interest granted the Holders and the Trustee in sixty-six percent
(66%) of the Capital Stock of 21st Century Resorts, a.s. and (b) the grant to
the Holders and the Trustee of a Security Interest in sixty-six
-4-
percent (66%) of the Capital Stock of Newco or the Substitute Entity, as the
case may be, and perfection thereof.
Section 2.4. PLEDGE AND SECURITY INTEREST. Section 14.1 of the
Finance Indenture is deleted in its entirety and replaced in full by the
following, which shall read in its entirety as follows:
PLEDGE AND SECURITY INTEREST. "Collateral" means all of the assets
of the Cyprus Entity and of any other direct or indirect Subsidiary where such
pledge shall not create a "deemed dividend" under U.S. tax law, a 100 per cent
(100%) interest in all of the Capital Stock of the Cyprus Entity, and, as to
all other direct Subsidiaries of the Issuer, whether in existence at the time
of the closing of this Indenture or thereafter formed, reconstituted or
otherwise acquired in any manner, whether or not named herein, a sixty-six per
cent (66%) interest in any such entity where a pledge of Capital Stock of a
greater percentage would create "deemed dividend" for U.S. tax purposes and
one hundred per cent (100%) interest in the Capital Stock where the pledge
will not create a "deemed dividend". Notwithstanding anything above to the
contrary, Issuer shall be permitted to own one hundred percent 100% of SC98A,
s.r.o. so long as one hundred percent 100% of the Capital Stock of 21st
Century is owned by SC98A, s.r.o. and sixty-six percent (66%) of the Capital
Stock of 21st Century is pledged to secure repayment of the Finance Note.
Alternatively, and notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Capital
Stock of 21st Century may be conveyed to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Issuer,
("Newco") and the Security Interest in the Capital Stock 21st Century released
so long as sixty-six percent (66%) of the Capital Stock of Newco is pledged to
secure repayment of the Finance Note. In the event the Capital Stock of 21st
Century is transferred to SC98A, s.r.o., the Issuer shall promptly take all
reasonable action necessary to replace SC98A, s.r.o. with a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary (the "Substitute Entity") of TWG International, sixty-six (66%) of
the Capital Stock of which Substitute Entity shall be pledged to secure
repayment of the Finance Note. TWG may own one percent (1%) of Newco or the
Substitute Entity so long as such interest is pledged by TWG to secure
repayment of the Securities. All references herein to the "Security Interest"
and to the "Lien of this Indenture" shall be deemed to mean and refer to the
Liens granted to the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to the terms of the
Collateral Agreements.
Section 2.5. PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Section 14.3(b) of
the Finance Indenture is deleted in its entirety and replaced in full by the
following, which shall read in its entirety as follows:
Because the Issuer cannot ascertain as of the date of execution of
this Indenture the exact documents which the appropriate governmental
authorities in the Czech Republic and Cyprus may require for perfection of the
Security Interest, the Issuer agrees, at its cost, to the preparation,
execution and filing of any additional documents necessary to grant and
perfect the Security Interest. Because certain of the entities to be pledged
are not yet direct Subsidiaries of the Issuer or may not yet exist, the Issuer
agrees, at its cost (including reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by
the Trustee and counsel for the Securityholders), post-closing, to take all
steps necessary to cause those entities to become direct Subsidiaries of the
Issuer (to the extent permissible by applicable law or regulation and so long
as no gambling licenses or other
-5-
tangible or intangible rights are jeopardized, in the sole discretion of
Issuer) and to grant a Security Interest in compliance with this Indenture in
the percentage of Capital Stock of such entities as required herein. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to grant the Issuer the discretion to refuse to cause
Newco or the Substitute Entity and the Cyprus Entity to be direct Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries of Issuer (except as permitted in Section 3.11 of this Indenture)
or to grant the requisite Security Interest in the Capital Stock thereof.
Section 2.6. SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL. Section 14.6 of the
Indenture is amended to add a second sentence thereto, which sentence shall
read in its entirety as follows:
However, the Collateral consisting of the sixty-six percent (66%) interest in
all the Capital Stock of 21st Century Resorts, a.s. may be substituted by a
perfected Security Interest in sixty-six percent (66%) the Capital Stock of a
Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer (owned ninety-nine percent (99%) by the
Issuer and one percent (1%) by TWG) which is a joint stock company organized
under the laws of the Czech Republic, if the following conditions are met:
(a) Such new Subsidiary is properly formed under the laws of the
Czech Republic;
(b) the Trustee and the holder of the Finance Note shall be
granted a Security Interest in sixty-six percent (66%) of all
Capital Stock of such entity, which sixty-six percent (66%) shall
include all of the Capital Stock of such entity held by TWG; and
(c) one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Stock of 21st
Century shall be transferred to such newly formed Subsidiary.
Section 2.7 DEFINITION OF COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. The definition
of Collateral Agreements of the Finance Indenture is deleted in its entirety
and replaced in full by the following, which shall read in its entirety as
follows:
"Collateral Agreements" means any agreements including those executed
by the Issuer, TWG, Newco, the Substitute Entity, 21st Century Resorts, a.s.,
LMJ Slots, s.r.o., LMJ Casino Rozadov, a.s., Atlantic Properties, s.r.o.,
Trans World Leasing Limited and the Cyprus Entity and/or such other Persons
necessary to create a Security Interest in favor of the Trustee and the
Securityholders in the Collateral.
