Taxes Generally All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) with respect to the Agent or a Lender that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and (iv) any taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges to the extent imposed as a result of the failure of the Agent or a Lender, as applicable, to provide and keep current (to the extent legally able) any certificates, documents or other evidence required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any such taxes fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges or required by the immediately following subsection (c) to be furnished by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”).

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and
(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

If Landlord (including any permitted successor Landlord) shall convey the entire Leased Property or the entire Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility (or Facilities, as applicable) (subject, in each case, to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) in accordance with the terms of this Lease, other than as security for a debt, and the applicable Acquirer expressly assumes all obligations of Landlord arising after the date of the conveyance, Landlord shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Lease with respect to the transferred portion of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations relating to such transferred Leased Property shall thereupon be binding upon such applicable Acquirer. Without limitation of the preceding provisions of this Section 18.1, any or all of the following shall be freely permitted to occur (and, for the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of subclause (b) of the following clause (i), neither a Severance Lease nor a Severance Guaranty shall be required to be entered into with respect thereto): (i) any transfer of (a) the entire Leased Property or (b) the entire Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility to a Fee Mortgagee (in each case, subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including any transfer of the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord), which transfer may include, without limitation, a transfer by foreclosure brought by the Fee Mortgagee or a transfer by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other transaction in lieu of foreclosure; (ii) a merger transaction or other similar disposition affecting Landlord REIT or a sale by Landlord REIT directly or indirectly involving the Leased Property (so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person (or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common) and (y) such surviving Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease and all Lease Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (if any) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord); (iii) a sale/leaseback transaction by Landlord with respect to all of the Leased Property pertaining to any Facility or Facilities (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) (provided (x) the overlandlord under the resulting xxxxxxxxx agrees that, in the event of a termination of such xxxxxxxxx, this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between such overlandlord and Tenant and (y) the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any new, additional or more onerous obligations on Tenant without Tenant’s prior written consent in Tenant’s sole discretion (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such xxxxxxxxx or otherwise) on Tenant), subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease; (iv) any sale of any indirect interest in the Leased Property in respect of any Facility or Facilities that does not change the identity of Landlord hereunder, including without limitation a participating interest in Landlord’s interest (or the interest of any of the fee owning entities comprising Landlord) under this Lease or a sale of Landlord’s (or any such fee owning entity’s or entities’) reversionary interest in the Leased Property (or the applicable Leased Property pertaining to any individual Facility) so long as Landlord remains the only party with authority to bind Landlord under this Lease, or (v) a sale or transfer to an Affiliate of Landlord or a joint venture entity in which any Affiliate of Landlord is the managing member or partner, so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (in the case of a sale or transfer of the Leased Property with respect to all of the Facilities), or all of the Leased Property pertaining to an individual Facility (in the case of a sale or transfer of the Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility) (subject, in each case, to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common and (y) such Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease and all Lease Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (if any) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey any Leased Property, or assign this Lease, to (I) a Tenant Prohibited Person or (II) any Person that is associated with a Person who has been found “unsuitable”, denied a Gaming License or otherwise precluded from participation in the Gaming Industry by any Gaming Authority where such association would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, any of Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses or Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ then-current standing with any Gaming Authority. Any transfer by Landlord under this Article XVIII shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements, including any Gaming Regulations, and no such transfer shall be effective until any applicable approvals with respect to Gaming Regulations, if applicable, are obtained. Tenant shall attorn to and recognize any successor Landlord in connection with any transfer(s) permitted under this Article XVIII as Tenant’s “landlord” with respect to the applicable Facility(ies).
Payments Generally (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m., shall in each case, at the option of the Agent, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c) Unless the Parent Borrower or any Lender has notified the Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Agent hereunder, that the applicable Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i) if the Parent Borrower or applicable Co-Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount within one Business Day upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and the applicable Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the applicable Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.6(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Section 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(f) Whenever any payment received by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Agent and applied by the Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 11.3. If the Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Financing Agreements under circumstances for which the Financing Agreements do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
Currencies Generally At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or in any other provision of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.10(b) and the last sentence of Section 2.17(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments, together with all other Borrowings and Letters of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Borrowing, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (iv) the Multicurrency LC Exposure, (v) the Covered Debt Amount and (vi) the Borrowing Base or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment, the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing, Letter of Credit or Portfolio Investment, as the case may be, determined as of the date of such Borrowing or Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the definition of the term “Interest Period”) or the date of valuation of such Portfolio Investment, as the case may be. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency).
