however, that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination. Unless previously terminated, this Agreement shall terminate (and be of no further force and effect) on the earlier of (a) August 1, 2005 and (b) the effective date of the Chapter 11 Plan.
Section 9. Capacity in Respect of Agreement. DJT is executing this Agreement solely in his capacity as the beneficial owner of debt and equity securities of THCR and its subsidiaries. No covenant, agreement, or understanding made by DJT in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1 and 2) shall be made in his capacity as director or officer of THCR or any of its subsidiaries, or shall prevent or in any way limit DJT from taking any action in his capacity as a director or officer of THCR or any of its subsidiaries.
Section 10. Impact of Appointment of Creditors’ Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Noteholder is appointed to and serves on any official committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Case, the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed so as to limit such Noteholder’s exercise of its fiduciary duties as a member of such committee to any person arising from its service on such committee, and any such exercise of such fiduciary duty shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement.
Section 11. Noteholder Consent to Debtor in Possession Financing. The Noteholders hereby consent to the Debtors obtaining a first priority priming lien (superior in priority to the liens securing the TAC Notes and the TCH Notes) allowing for up to $100 million of post-petition debtor-in-possession financing (the “DIP Financing”) on substantially all of the assets of the Debtors. With respect to any material terms of the DIP Financing other than the foregoing, the DIP Financing shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Noteholders, provided, however, that such consent will not be required with respect to the pricing of, and/or costs associated with, the DIP Financing in the event that the Debtors have selected the lowest overall bid for such DIP Financing. To the extent that the Required Noteholders do not consent to the DIP Financing, the Debtors may seek a determination by the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Case with respect to the issue of reasonableness.
Section 12. Noteholder Consent to THCR Chapter 11 Management Retention Plan. As part of the Restructuring, the existing Board of Directors of THCR may seek to implement a management retention plan that (i) does not include DJT, (ii) provides for aggregate payments of up to $5 million, (iii) covers up to approximately 35 individuals, and (iv) provides for approximately one-third of the aggregate payments to be made on the date the Debtors file the Chapter 11 Plan and approximately two-thirds of the aggregate payments to be made on or prior to the earlier of (A) the effective date of the Chapter 11 Plan and (B) the date that is seven months after the date of this Agreement (the “Management Plan”). So long as the Management Plan comports with the foregoing (i) through (iv), the Noteholders consent in all respects to the Management Plan, including the allocation of amounts under the Management Plan.
Section 13. Amendments. This Agreement (including the Term Sheet) may not be modified, amended, or supplemented except in writing signed by THCR, DJT, and the Required Noteholders, except that any change to (i) the economic terms of the Chapter 11 Plan that would adversely affect the Noteholders, or (ii) this Section 13 of the Agreement, shall also require the
12
consent of each Noteholder, and if such consent is not obtained, such non-consenting Noteholder shall have no further obligations whatsoever under this Agreement.
Section 14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws of the State of New York. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding, shall be brought in a federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Southern District of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit, or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction, upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, each of the Parties hereto hereby agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

SUMMARY STANDALONE RESTRUCTURING TERM SHEET—OCTOBER 20, 2004
Proposed Transaction | The following describes a proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) to restructure and recapitalize Xxxxx Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Company Parties”) through a chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Chapter 11 Plan”).
The Transaction will include the restructuring of the first priority mortgage notes issued by Xxxxx Atlantic City Associates and its affiliates (the “TAC Notes”), the first priority and second priority mortgage notes issued by Xxxxx Casino Holdings, LLC and Xxxxx Casino Funding, Inc. (respectively, the “TCH 1st Priority Notes” and the “TCH 2nd Priority Notes”), and the common stock and other equity interests of the Company. Except as provided below, distributions will occur on the effective date of the Chapter 11 Plan (the “Closing Date”). | |
Transaction Securities | ||
New Notes | · Face Amount: $1.25 billion · Rate: 8.5% · Maturity: 10 years · No-Call Period: 5 years · Subsequent Call Provisions: Standard High Yield · Covenants: To be determined · Secured by substantially all the assets of the Company Parties, subject only to liens for a working capital facility of up to $500.0 million. (Note that the structure of the Xxxxx Indiana collateral arrangements are subject to further tax structuring analysis with regard to the “real property” issues.) | |
New Common Stock | Newly issued common stock of the Company. References below to percentages of New Common Stock exclude (i) stock reserved for issuance under any management incentive plan adopted by the Company’s new Board of Directors after completion of the Transaction and (ii) shares to be issued on the exercise of the new warrants to be held by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx. The Company will reserve 8.59% of the New Common Stock (the “Reserve Shares”) for distribution to the holders of the TAC Notes and/or sale to existing common shareholders as described below. |
Investment by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx (“DJT”) |
DJT will invest $55.0 million to purchase shares of New Common Stock and/or partnership interests (“Partnership Interests”) in Xxxxx Hotels & Casino Resorts Holdings, L.P. (“Holdings”) representing 9.45% of the outstanding New Common Stock on the Closing Date. This purchase reflects a pro forma equity value of $582.3 million (the “Investment Price”). | |
TCH 1st Priority Note Recovery |
· $425.0 million of New Notes, · $21.25 million in cash, · $8.5 million of equity (1.46% of the New Common Stock) valued at the Investment Price, and · additional cash payments equal to simple interest on $425.0 million at the annual rate of 12.625% from the last scheduled date for which interest was paid on TCH 1st Priority Notes to the Closing Date (such payments to be made on the regularly scheduled interest payment dates for the TCH 1st Priority Notes).
The holders of the TCH 1st Priority Notes may specify a preference for New Common Stock or cash.
The recovery for the TCH 1st Priority Notes represents a settlement of all claims and rights of the holders of such notes arising under the indenture for such notes and any and all related agreements and documents and a transfer of value from the holders of the TAC Notes. | |
TCH 2nd Priority Note Recovery (Excluding DJT) |
· $47.7 million of New Notes, · $2.3 million in cash, · $2.1 million of equity (0.36% of the New Common Stock) valued at the Investment Price, and · an additional cash payment equal to simple interest on (i) the $54.6 million at the annual rate of 18.625% from the last scheduled date for which interest was paid on such notes to the earlier of the Closing Date and 90 days after commencement of the Company’s chapter 11 case (the “Filing Date”; and such earlier date, the “Subject Date”) and (ii) $47.7 million at the annual rate of 8.5% from the day after the Subject Date through the Closing Date.
The recovery for the TCH 2nd Priority Notes (i) represents a settlement of all claims and rights of the holders of such notes arising under the indenture for such notes and any and all related agreements and documents, including a settlement of issues between holders of the TCH 1st Priority Notes and the TCH 2nd Priority Notes, and (ii) is conditioned on the acceptance of the Chapter 11 Plan by the holders of the TCH 2nd Priority Notes. |
TAC Note Recovery | · $777.3 million of New Notes, · $384.3 million of equity (66.00% of the New Common Stock) valued at the Investment Price, · $50 million in cash and/or Reserved Shares (valued at the Investment Price),* and · an additional cash payment equal to simple interest on $777.3 million at the annual rate of 8.5% from the last scheduled date for which interest was paid on the TAC Notes to the Closing Date.
The holders of the TAC Notes may specify a preference for New Common Stock, New Notes, or cash.
* The distribution of cash and/or Reserved Shares will occur after expiration of the period during which existing common shareholders may purchase New Common Stock as described below. All proceeds from such purchases will be distributed to the holders of the TAC Notes. Any shares of New Common Stock remaining as part of the Reserved Shares also will be distributed to the holders of the TAC Notes. For example, if no shareholders purchase from the Reserve Shares, the TAC Note recovery in equity would increase to $434.3 million, representing 74.59% of the New Common Stock.
The recovery for the TAC Notes represents a settlement of all claims and rights of the holders of such notes arising under the indenture for such notes and any and all related agreements and documents. |
DJT Ownership Interests |
26.22% of the fully diluted equity interests in the Company (or Partnership Interests or equivalents), consisting of: · 9.45% of the New Common Stock** in return for a $55.0 million cash investment as described above, · 2.53% of the New Common Stock** in return for his TCH 2nd Priority Notes (equivalent to conversion of the face amount of those TCH 2nd Priority Notes at a 90% recovery at the Investment Price), · 0.09% of the New Common Stock** in return for all accrued interest (at the contract rate through the Filing Date) on his TCH 2nd Priority Notes, · 11.42% of the New Common Stock** in return for granting a perpetual, royalty-free license to the Company to use certain trademarks (including his name) and agreeing to certain other amendments and modifications of certain existing contractual relationships between DJT and the Company and/or its affiliates, in each case as described below, · 0.06% representing his existing equity interests after dilution for the issuance of the New Common Stock, and · warrants to purchase 3.5% of the fully diluted New Common Stock, having (i) an exercise price equal to 1.5 times the Investment Price and (ii) a 10 year term.
** Or Partnership Interests or equivalents. The indicated percentages of New Common Stock are prior to dilution caused by the exercise of DJT’s warrants.
Other provisions related to DJT (including a new services agreement) are described below. | |
Existing Common Shareholders (excluding DJT) |
The Company’s existing common shareholders (other than DJT) will receive warrants to purchase all or a portion of the Reserve Shares at the per share Investment Price.
Assuming complete exercise of the warrants, existing common shareholders (other than DJT) will pay $50.0 million for 8.59% of the New Common Stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants as well as any portion of the Reserve Shares remaining after the purchase period will be distributed to the holders of the TAC Notes, as described above. The rights to purchase New Common Stock will be implemented through the issuance of warrants on the Closing Date. The term of such warrants will be one year.
All existing equity interests will be diluted to 0.05% of the total equity interests in the restructured Company. All existing options and warrants to purchase stock of the Company or the Company Parties will be cancelled under the Chapter 11 Plan. |
Governance | The Board of Directors will consist of nine members, initially as follows: · five members will be persons acceptable to those holders of the TAC Notes that participated in the negotiation of this proposal (the “TAC Committee” and such directors, the “Class A Directors”) · one member will be a person who is independent and acceptable to both DJT and the holders of the TAC Notes (the “Joint Director”) · three members will be designated by DJT (the “DJT Directors”)
Class A Directors: It is anticipated that each of the Class A Directors will be independent. However, subject to regulatory approval, one or more of the holders of the TAC Notes may decide to serve as a Class A Director. The Chapter 11 Plan and a voting agreement with DJT will provide for the continued election of the initial Class A Directors (and any person selected to fill a vacancy), regardless of the amount of New Common Stock owned by DJT, for a mutually agreeable period. Vacancies among the Class A Directors will be filled by the remaining Class A Directors or by a mechanism approved by the gaming regulators. The Class A Directors will make up a majority of each committee of the Board of Directors.
Joint Director: If DJT beneficially owns at least 5.0% of the New Common Stock, the Joint Director must be acceptable to him. If he owns less than that percentage, the Joint Director will be selected by the Class A Directors.
DJT Directors: If DJT beneficially owns at least 7.5% of the New Common Stock, he may nominate three people to serve on the Board, one of whom will be DJT and one of whom will be independent. If DJT beneficially owns at least 5.0% but less than 7.5% of the New Common Stock, he may nominate two people to serve on the Board, one of whom will be DJT and one of whom will be independent. If DJT owns less than 5.0% of the New Common Stock, he may serve as a member of the Board as long as he continues to be employed by the Company pursuant to his new Services Agreement. DJT will select substitutes for the DJT Directors until DJT’s ownership of New Common Stock drops below the percentages specified above. DJT may be a member of all committees of the Board of Directors, other than the compensation committee and the audit committee.
Senior Management: Senior management will be selected by the Board of Directors by a simple majority vote at which a quorum is present.
Supermajority Board Approval Required/Tax Indemnification: The decision to sell the Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxx Casino Resort, the Xxxxx Plaza Hotel and Casino, the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Hotel Casino, or the Indiana Casino Hotel will require the approval of a majority of directors, including the affirmative vote of DJT, if he is a director, and at least one of his designees provided that, if DJT shall not at any time be serving as a director, until such time as DJT beneficially owns less than an agreed upon percentage of New Common Stock, any such sale shall require DJT’s prior written approval, provided further that, in lieu of such supermajority approval, or approval by DJT if he shall not so serve as a director, the Company may, in its sole discretion, indemnify DJT for the adverse tax consequences to him and Xxxxx Casino II, Inc. as a result of such a sale (and as a result of the receipt of any such indemnity payment). |
New DJT Services Agreement |
DJT will continue as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors · $2 million annual base salary · Annual bonus at the discretion of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors · No other fixed or incentive compensation · 3-year rolling term
DJT also will be reimbursed for reasonable and documented expenses incurred as Chairman, provided that such expenses are not materially greater than those that would be incurred in arm’s length transactions, and provided further that (i) with respect to administrative and overhead expenses, such expenses shall be subject to a budget requiring the reasonable prior review and approval of the compensation committee of the Company’s new Board of Directors, and (ii) with respect to travel and entertainment expenses, such expenses shall be subject to no such prior review or approval provided that they are consistent with past practices, subject to provisions to be further agreed upon in the new Services Agreement. | |
New Trademark License Agreement |
DJT will grant the Company Parties a perpetual, exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license, to use his name, likeness, and all related marks and intellectual property rights and derivatives thereof currently licensed to the Company in connection with any casino and gaming activities (including lodging, restaurants, and/or entertainment at a casino or other gaming facility that either DJT or his affiliates or any of the Company Parties owns, operates, manages, or develops, or in which DJT otherwise has an interest), subject to customary terms and conditions (including but not limited to quality control provisions) that are otherwise substantially consistent (given the structure of the Transaction) with the terms and conditions set forth in the existing trademark license agreement (as amended) between DJT and the Company.
If DJT (i) is not employed by the Company on terms at least as favorable as those in the new Services Agreement, (ii) is terminated other than for “cause,” or (iii) terminates his employment for “good reason” (such terms to be defined in the new Trademark License Agreement), then the terms of the license set forth above shall no longer be applicable and the reorganized Company may, at its option, maintain such license pursuant to a separate licensing agreement to be set forth in the new Trademark License Agreement.
The separate license agreement referred to in the previous paragraph will include (w) an annual royalty, payable quarterly to DJT by each Xxxxx Property (defined below) that uses DJT’s name, in the amount of (a) $500,000 for each Xxxxx Property that has annual EBITDA of at least $25 million or (b) $100,000 for each Xxxxx Property that has annual EBITDA of less than $25 million, provided, however, that the aggregate royalties payable under such separate licensing agreement shall not exceed the amount of $5 million per annum, and no such royalty (or any other royalty) shall be payable if the original license is terminated pursuant to clause (i) above as a result of DJT’s death, disability, termination by the Company for “cause,” or termination by DJT other than for “good reason,” (x) a 10-year term, (y) customary quality control provisions substantially consistent with those set forth in the existing trademark license agreement, and (z) other terms and provisions to be mutually agreed upon prior to the consummation of the Transaction.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Xxxxx Property” means any of (i) Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxx Casino Resort, (ii) Xxxxx Plaza Hotel and Casino, (iii) Xxxxx Xxxxxx Hotel Casino, (iv) Xxxxx Indiana Casino Hotel, (v) Xxxxx 29 Casino, or (vi) any lodging, restaurant, or entertainment at a casino or other gaming facility that the Company or any of its subsidiaries acquires, owns, operates, manages, or develops. The new Trademark License Agreement will not apply to use in connection with any lodging, restaurant, or entertainment activities not associated with a casino or other gaming facility that DJT or his affiliates, the Company or any of the other Company Parties owns, operates, manages, or develops or in which DJT otherwise has an interest. |
Additional DJT Provisions |
World Fair site: The Company will transfer to DJT the parcel of land in Atlantic City constituting the former World’s Fair site, provided that such land will be subject to a perpetual negative covenant preventing DJT or any transferee, assignee, or lessee from developing any gaming activities on, or associated with, such property.
Registration Rights: DJT will have registration rights with respect to the shares of New Common Stock issued in the Transaction on terms to be agreed upon.
Development Agreement: The Company will enter into an agreement granting the Xxxxx Organization a right of first offer to serve as project manager, construction manager, and/or general contractor (to the extent the Xxxxx Organization is reasonably qualified to perform such duties), on commercially reasonable arm’s length terms, with respect to construction and development projects for casinos, casino hotels, and related lodging to be performed by third parties on the Company’s existing and future properties. The term of such agreement shall be three years and will include the Company’s option to renew upon expiration and other provisions to be agreed upon.
Miss Universe, L.P., LLLP The Company will transfer to DJT its 25% interest in Miss Universe, L.P., LLLP. | |
