(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Notes issued in definitive form shall also be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.
39
Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.
Two Officers on behalf of each of Xxxx Las Vegas and Xxxx Capital must sign the Notes for the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.
A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed by two Officers of each of Xxxx Las Vegas and Wynn Capital (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Notes for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Notes to be issued in substitution for outstanding Notes to reflect any name change of either Issuer, by succession permitted hereunder or otherwise).
The Issuers may issue Notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of (a) $470.0 million, less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (11) and (12) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, other than through the issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such maximum amount except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers.
Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. Either or both of the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.
Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary thereof) shall have no further liability for the money. If either Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold
40
in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
Section 2.05 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).
Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes if:
(1) Xxxx Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee written notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by Xxxx Las Vegas within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; or
(2) following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Note requests that the Global Notes should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee.
Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a). However, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof.
Neither Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by a Holder of a Global Note or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners of Notes, except as a result of such Issuer's or Trustee's own negligent action, negligent failure to act or own willful misconduct, as the case may be. In the absence of bad faith on their part, the Issuers and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on written instructions from the Holder of a Global Note or the Depositary for all purposes under this Indenture.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:
(1) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form
41
of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).
(2) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Definitive Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(f) hereof, and the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(2) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.
(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder's compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(d), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the Applicable Procedures or reasonably requested by the Issuers to demonstrate compliance by such Holder with applicable law.
(e) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.
(1) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
"THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF XXXX LAS VEGAS, LLC AND XXXX LAS VEGAS CAPITAL CORP.

OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN."
(f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.
(g) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.
(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar's request.
(2) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.10, 4.10, 4.15, 4.16 and 9.05 hereof).
(3) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
43
(5) The Issuers shall not be required:
(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of either Issuer holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than an Issuer, a Subsidiary of an Issuer or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
44
Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or any of their Affiliates, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.11 Cancellation.
The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

45
(d) the redemption price.
Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption or purchase as follows:
(a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or
(b) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; provided, however, that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 of this Indenture.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the redemption date;
(b) the redemption price;
(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;
(d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(f) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
(g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
46
(h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.
At the Issuers' request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers' name and at their expense; provided, however, that the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.
Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.
Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.
On or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase price date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest and premium, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and premium, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.
If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.
Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

The Excess Proceeds Offer shall be made to all Holders. The Excess Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period").

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer.
Xxxx Las Vegas shall provide the Trustee with notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer at least 10 days (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall permit) prior to its commencement. Upon the commencement of an Excess Proceeds Offer, Xxxx Las Vegas shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Excess Proceeds Offer, shall state:

(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Excess Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to Xxxx Las Vegas, the Depositary, if appointed by Xxxx Las Vegas, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;
(g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if Xxxx Las Vegas, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; provided that, with respect to Notes that have been tendered using the procedure for book-entry transfer, any such notice of withdrawal shall specify the name number of the account at The Depository Trust Company to be credited with the withdrawn Notes and shall otherwise comply with the procedures of the book-entry transfer facility;
(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, Xxxx Las Vegas shall select the Notes to be purchased, if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, or if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Xxxx Las Vegas so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and
(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).
On or before the Purchase Date, Xxxx Las Vegas shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, or if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by Xxxx Las Vegas in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.10. Xxxx Las Vegas, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by Xxxx Las Vegas for purchase, and Xxxx Las Vegas shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from Xxxx Las Vegas shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by Xxxx Las Vegas to the Holder thereof. Xxxx Las Vegas shall publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer on the Purchase Date.

(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than a Guarantor or Xxxx Las Vegas or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither Xxxx Las Vegas nor a Restricted Subsidiary thereof nor any Guarantor
58
shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Xxxx Las Vegas, such Restricted Entity or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (4); and
(c) in the case of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (iv) above, such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred as a Restricted Payment under Section 4.07 hereof, and, for purposes of Section 4.07 hereof, the obligee or payee on such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have a Restricted Payment on the date on which such Indebtedness is incurred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Indebtedness incurred on such date (or, if less, the principal amount of such Indebtedness from time to time outstanding);

(10) the incurrence or issuance by Xxxx Las Vegas' Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Nonrecourse Debt; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (but continues to be Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas), such event shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas that was not permitted by this clause (10);
(11) the incurrence by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (so long as such Indebtedness is incurred under the Credit Agreement or through the issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture, or is unsecured Indebtedness) to be used to develop and construct an Entertainment Facility on land included in the Project (other than the Golf Course Land) in an aggregate principal amount (or original accreted value, as applicable) at any time not to exceed the lesser of (a) $50.0 million and (b) 200% of the Net New Equity Proceeds received by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture and used to develop and construct such Entertainment Facility, excluding any Net New Equity Proceeds to the extent those proceeds are:
(a) utilized as a basis for incurring Indebtedness pursuant to clause (12) below,

(b) the obligations of Xxxx Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, supported by such performance bonds, guaranties, trade letters of credit, bankers' acceptances or similar instruments (1) consist solely of payment obligations with respect to costs incurred in accordance with the Project Budget which would otherwise be permitted to be paid by the applicable entity pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, (2) are secured, and (3) are secured solely by Liens permitted by clause (22) of the definition of "Permitted Liens."
(c) Neither Xxxx Las Vegas nor any Guarantor shall incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated (except for the priority of Permitted Liens and except as otherwise contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreements) in right of payment to the Notes, in the case of Xxxx Las Vegas, or the Note Guarantee contained in its Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in the case of a Guarantor on substantially identical terms. No Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured.
(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in (1) through (14) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Issuers shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.
Section 4.10 Asset Sales.
Xxxx Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(a) no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Asset Sale;
(b) except with respect to Non-Project Assets, the Opening Date has occurred;
(c) the applicable entity receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (it being understood that a percentage of the purchase price may be subject to escrow arrangements customary for asset sales);
(d) if the aggregate consideration to be received by the applicable entity is in excess of $10.0 million, the fair market value is evidenced by a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the applicable entity delivered to the Trustee; and
(e) at least 75% (or 95%, in the case of any Asset Sale that occurs on or before the Completion Date) of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the applicable entity is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
61
For purposes of this Section 4.10, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
(1) any liabilities, as shown on such entity's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of such entity (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases such entity from further liability; and
(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by such entity from such transferee that are converted within 30 Business Days following such receipt by such entity into cash to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.
After the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by Xxxx Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, the applicable entity:
(1) within 270 days (or within 90 days, in the case of any Asset Sale that occurs on or before the Completion Date) after receipt of such Net Proceeds, may apply the Net Proceeds to repay secured unsubordinated Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce the commitments with respect to such Indebtedness, or
(2) within 270 days (or within 90 days, in the case of any Asset Sale that occurs on or before the Completion Date) after receipt of such Net Proceeds, may apply any Net Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof.
In any such case, the Restricted Entities shall take all necessary action to ensure that the security interest of the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, continues as a perfected security interest (subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) on any property or assets acquired or constructed with the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale on the terms set forth in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Collateral Documents. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the applicable entity may (1) apply the Net Proceeds to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any secured unsubordinated Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (2) invest the Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents which shall be subject to a perfected security interest (subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) in favor of the Trustee as security for the Notes.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied to repay Indebtedness or invested, in each case as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 10 days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Xxxx Las Vegas shall make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the applicable entity may use those Excess Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased as described in Section 3.02 hereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.10 of
62
this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):

Section 4.12 Liens.
Xxxx Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds, income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.
Section 4.13 Line of Business.
Xxxx Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business or investment activities other than the Permitted Business. Xxxx Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, conduct a Permitted Business in any gaming jurisdiction in which such entity is not licensed on the date of this Indenture if the Holders of the Notes would be required to be licensed as a result thereof; provided that this sentence shall not prohibit any entity from conducting a Permitted Business in any jurisdiction that does not require the licensing or qualification of all the Holders of Notes, but reserves the discretionary right to require the licensing or qualification of any Holders of Notes.
Section 4.14 Corporate and Organizational Existence.
Subject to Article 5 hereof, each of the Issuers and the Restricted Entities shall, and shall cause each of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

64
(b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuers, the Restricted Entities and their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuers and the Restricted Entities shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers), if the Board of Directors of Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and Xxxx Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
Section 4.15 Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment;

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.15 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under Section 3.10 or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such conflict.

Section 4.16 Events of Loss
After any Event of Loss of Collateral comprising the Project occurring after the Final Completion Date in an amount of up to $500.0 million (measured as the greater of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Collateral subject to such Event of Loss), Xxxx Las Vegas, the applicable Restricted Entity or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from the Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the Project, with no obligation to make any purchase of any Notes; provided that, in the case of any such Collateral with a fair market value (or replacement cost, if higher) in excess of $15.0 million but less than or equal to $500.0 million:
(a) Xxxx Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 60 days of the Event of Loss a written opinion from a reputable contractor that the Minimum Facilities can be rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating within 365 days following the Event of Loss;
(b) Xxxx Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 60 days of the Event of Loss an Officers' Certificate certifying that the applicable entity has available from Net Loss Proceeds, cash on hand or available borrowings under Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof to complete the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction described in clause (a) above and, together with any anticipated revenues projected to be generated during the repair or restoration period, to pay debt service on its Indebtedness during the repair or restoration period; and
(c) the damaged Collateral is rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating in substantially the manner that it was operating immediately prior to the Event of Loss within 365 days following the Event of Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16, if the damaged Collateral is not necessary for and is not used in the operation of the Permitted Business of the Project, the applicable entity may apply the Net Loss Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof.
66
The ability of Xxxx Las Vegas, any Restricted Entities or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to repair or restore any of the Collateral following an Event of Loss that occurs on or prior to the Final Completion Date shall be governed by the Disbursement Agreement.
Any Net Loss Proceeds that are not (1) permitted to be used to repair or restore the Collateral pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, (2) reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.16 or (3) permitted to be reinvested because those Net Loss Proceeds exceed $500.0 million, in each case, shall be deemed "Excess Loss Proceeds." Within 10 days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Xxxx Las Vegas shall make an offer (an "Event of Loss Offer") to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Loss Proceeds. The offer price in any Event of Loss Offer shall be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, the applicable entity may use such Excess Loss Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased as described in Section 3.02 hereof. Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
Pending their application, all Excess Loss Proceeds shall either be (1) applied to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, or (2) invested in Cash Equivalents held in an account in which the Trustee has a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Holders, subject only to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements; provided that such funds and securities shall be released to Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, to pay for or reimburse such Person for either (1) the actual cost of a permitted use of Excess Loss Proceeds as provided in this Section 4.16, or (2) the Event of Loss Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall grant to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, a security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, on any property or assets rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed with such Excess Loss Proceeds on the terms set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.
In the event of an Event of Loss pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of "Event of Loss" with respect to property or assets that have a fair market value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $10.0 million, Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be required to receive consideration:
(a) at least equal to the fair market value (evidenced by a resolution of the applicable entity's Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the property or assets subject to the Event of Loss; and
(b) at least 90% of which is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.16 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
The Board of Directors of Xxxx Las Vegas may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Xxxx Capital, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas if that designation would not cause
67
a Default or an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by Xxxx Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made in an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments, as determined by Xxxx Las Vegas. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of Xxxx Las Vegas may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. None of the Restricted Entities and their Subsidiaries (other than Xxxx Las Vegas and its Subsidiaries and Desert Inn Water Company) may have Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
Section 4.18 Construction.
Xxxx Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall, and shall cause each of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, construct the Project, including the furnishing, fixturing and equipping of the Project, with diligence and continuity in a good and workmanlike manner substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (l) or (m) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to any Material Entity, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
If an Event of Default occurs on or after November 1, 2006 by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, any Guarantor, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Issuers would have had to pay if the Issuers then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to November 1, 2006 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, any Guarantor, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable in an amount, for each of the years beginning on November 1 of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of payment that would otherwise be due but for the provisions of this sentence):
Year |
Percentage |
||
---|---|---|---|
2003 | 15.0 | % | |
2004 | 14.0 | % | |
2005 and thereafter | 13.0 | % |
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
80
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
81
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10 Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
82
amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and
Third: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

ARTICLE 11.
NOTE GUARANTEES
Section 11.01 Note Guarantee.
(a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
99
Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Parent Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Issuer, any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d) Each of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders, the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each such Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of
100
such Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor.
In the event that the Issuers create or acquire any Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Sections 4.26 and 4.31 hereof, the Issuers shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.26 and 4.31 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.
Section 11.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
In case of any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of or involving a Guarantor under Section 5.01 hereof, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuers or another Guarantor.
Section 11.05 Releases Following Sale of Assets.
Subject to compliance with Section 5.01 hereof, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and the security interests granted by that Guarantor to secure its Note Guarantee shall be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor
101
(including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Xxxx Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or the Parent Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof; or (2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Xxxx Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or the Parent Guarantor, if the sale complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by Xxxx Las Vegas to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.
ARTICLE 12.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture and the Collateral Documents shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:
(a) either:
(1) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or shall become due and payable within one year and the Issuers have or any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer, any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer, any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor is bound;
(c) the Issuers, any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuers under this Indenture; and

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers', any Guarantor's and the Parent Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

A-7

The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
(14) Trustee Dealings with Issuers. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.
(15) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, or any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

WHEREAS, the Issuers have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of October 30, 2002 providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of (a) $470.0 million, less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (11) and (12) of Section 4.09(b) of the Indenture, other than through the issuance of Additional Notes under the Indenture, of 12.0% Second Mortgage Notes due 2010 (the "Notes");
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers' Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Note Guarantee"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:
(a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture and the Parent Guarantor, to jointly, severally and unconditionally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(i) the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
C-1
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor.
(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.
(d) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.
(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Parent Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either of the Issuers, any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
(g) As between the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.
(h) The Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
(i) Pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor under Article 11 of the Indenture, this new Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor under this Note Guarantee shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
C-2
3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
4. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS.

(i) either (a) such Guarantor is the surviving entity or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;
(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; provided that this Section 4(a)(ii) shall not apply to any merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets of a Guarantor with, into or to Xxxx Las Vegas, so long as, in the case of any consolidation or merger, Xxxx Las Vegas is the survivor of such consolidation or merger;
(iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;
(iv) such transaction would not result in the loss or suspension or material impairment of any Gaming License unless a comparable replacement Gaming License is effective at no material cost prior to or simultaneously with such loss, suspension or material impairment;
(v) such Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made shall have Consolidated Net Worth immediately after the transaction equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of such Guarantor immediately preceding the transaction (excluding the effect of the related professional fees, commissions, sales and other taxes, and other transactional costs that would otherwise reduce Consolidated Net Worth);
(vi) in the case of a consolidation or merger of a Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas or the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the property or assets of such Guarantor, the Issuers shall, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) of the Indenture; and
(vii) such transaction, at the time it is undertaken, would not require any Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to obtain a Gaming License or be qualified or found suitable under the law of any applicable gaming jurisdiction; provided that such Holder or Beneficial Owner would not have been required to obtain a Gaming License or be qualified or found suitable under the laws of any applicable gaming jurisdiction in the absence of such transaction.
C-3
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or the provisions of Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture, a Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into another Guarantor, or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to another Guarantor, so long as (1) the conditions in clauses (iii), (iv) and (vii) of the preceding paragraph are satisfied, and (2) such Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the Guarantor to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made, as the case may be, is Solvent.
(b) In addition, no Guarantor may, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. This Section 4 shall not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets (excluding any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or disposition of assets that would otherwise be subject to this Section 4 from a Person that is a Guarantor to a Person, other than Xxxx Las Vegas, that is not a Guarantor):
(i) to Xxxx Las Vegas and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries,
(ii) between Wynn Resorts Holdings and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, excluding a transfer of any or all of the Golf Course Land, unless such Golf Course Land is then a Released Asset,
(iii) by (i) any Restricted Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Entity, that, in each case, is not a Guarantor to (ii) any Restricted Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Entity that, in each case, is a Guarantor, or
(iv) by any Wynn Group Entity to any Restricted Entity.
For purposes of this Section 4, a sale of properties or assets by a Guarantor shall not constitute a sale of "substantially all of the properties or assets" of that Guarantor if, following that sale, the Guarantor owns or holds (1) any of the Water Rights for the Project (excluding Water Rights that are then Released Assets), or (2) any of the Phase II Land or the Golf Course Land (excluding any such land that is then a Released Asset).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4 or the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Indenture, each Guarantor is permitted to reorganize as a corporation pursuant to a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.
(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of or involving a Guarantor and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named in the Indenture as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
(d) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuers or another Guarantor.
C-4
5. RELEASES.
(a) Subject to compliance with Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and the security interests granted by that Guarantor to secure its Note Guarantee shall be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Xxxx Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or the Parent Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 of the Indenture; or (2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Xxxx Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or the Parent Guarantor, if the sale complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by Xxxx Las Vegas to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
(b) In the event Xxxx Las Vegas properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, such Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.
(c) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 11 of the Indenture.
6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
8. CONFLICTS WITH INDENTURE. This Supplemental Indenture is subject to all terms of the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Supplemental Indenture conflicts with express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
9. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
10. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
11. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuers.
C-5
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
