AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of August 30, 2005 with reference to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 8, 2004 (as such agreement may from time to time be extended, modified, renewed, restated, supplemented or amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among Xxxxxx Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein are used with the meanings set forth for those terms in the Credit Agreement. The parties hereby agree with reference to the following facts:
A. Borrower has requested that the Revolving Lenders reduce the interest rates for the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
B. The parties hereto are willing to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, hereby agree to amend the Credit Agreement as follows:
1. Section 1.01 – Definition of Applicable Rate. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended so that the definition of “Applicable Rate” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Applicable Rate” means, with respect to the Revolving Loans, during each Pricing Period, the rates per annum set forth opposite the Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio in effect as of the Fiscal Quarter ending approximately two months prior to the first day of that Pricing Period, provided that (i) if the Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate in respect of any Fiscal Quarter prior to the first day of the related Pricing Period, then Pricing Level I shall apply as of the first Business Day of such Pricing Period until the date upon which the required Compliance Certificate is delivered, and (ii) in respect of each calendar quarter during which the arithmetic average of the Unused Revolver Availability for each date during such calendar quarter is less than one third of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (as in effect from time to time during that calendar quarter), the commitment fee rates per annum set forth in the matrix below shall be reduced by 0.10% per annum:
