Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”; and the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed as having the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) any reference in this Agreement to any Loan Document shall mean such document as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and (b) all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in ARTICLE VI or any related definition to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP occurring after the date of this Agreement on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend ARTICLE VI or any related definition for such purpose), then the Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately

before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE II.
The Credits

2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, as of the date hereof:

(a) each Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Term Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) each Revolving Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time from the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending 45 days prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date, in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Revolving Commitment.

Within the limits set forth in clause (b) of the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.02. Loans.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

(b) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account at such bank as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance

upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights of the Borrower against the Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.03. Revolver Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing under the Revolving Facility, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time two Business Days before a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, email or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; and (iii) the amount of such Borrowing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. The Revolving Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000; or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the Revolving Commitment.

2.04. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be applied by the Borrower (and, to the extent distributed to them by the Borrower, each other Loan Party) solely (a) to repay certain Indebtedness, including all amounts due under the DIP Credit Agreement, (b) to pay certain Bankruptcy Court approved administrative claims and expenses, and (c) to pay fees and expenses related to this Agreement, and (d) for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties.

2.05. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Sections 2.09 and 2.10.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of

principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.05(b) and 2.05(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

2.06. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Icahn Lenders, on a pro rata basis, through the Administrative Agent, on the Effective Date, the revolver fee (the “Revolver Fee”) in an amount equal to $1,400,000.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an annual fee payable on the Effective Date and each anniversary thereof, in the amount of $100,000; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent resigns at any time, the pro rata portion of the Administrative Agent Fee (defined below) paid for such year shall be returned to the Borrower, or, in the event that neither Icahn Agency Services LLC nor one of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, such other reasonable amount necessary to pay such other Administrative Agent’s fees which amount shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (the “Administrative Agent Fee”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Icahn Lenders other than any Defaulting Lenders, on a pro rata basis, through the Administrative Agent, on the last day of each fiscal quarter occurring after the Effective Date (or the next Business Day if the last day of such quarter is not a Business Day) an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) payable in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum multiplied by the daily average undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility

(without regard to the undrawn amount existing prior to the Effective Date); provided that upon an Event of Default caused by an Icahn Lender that causes the Revolving Facility to not actually be available to the Borrower, then the Unused Line Fee shall not be due and payable for that portion of the Revolving Facility not actually available.

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, on a pro rata basis. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

2.07. Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the Loans shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to 15%.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

2.08. Default Interest. If any Event of Default is continuing, then, until such Event of Default is cured, remedied or waived, to the extent permitted by law, the Loans shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.07 plus 2.00% per annum.

2.09. Repayment of Term Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Effective Date, or if either such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day the lesser of (i) $1,300,000 of the principal amount of the Term Loans and (ii) the balance of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the date of payment.

2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Term Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Effective Date. The Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate 45 days prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently

terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Term Commitment or the Revolving Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and the aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding.

(c) Each reduction in the Term Commitments or the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Term Commitments or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees (if any) on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

2.11. Optional Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice), to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, and (ii) there shall be no prepayments of Term Loans unless all of the Revolving Loans have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated or reduced to zero, and (iii) each such prepayment shall be made subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(g).

(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable (other than in connection with a refinancing) and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be without premium or penalty, but shall include the applicable Prepayment Premium. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and applicable Prepayment Premium.

2.12. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) From and after the Effective Date, not later than the first Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(d).

(b) From and after the Effective Date, in the event that any Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than any

cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the first Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(d).

(c) [Reserved]

(d) Mandatory prepayments described in Sections 2.12(a) to 2.12(b) shall be applied, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(f), (A) first, to the repayment of outstanding Term Loans and (B) then, in the event that the Term Loans have been paid in full, to the repayment of outstanding Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments).

(e) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.12, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.12 shall be without premium or penalty (except the applicable Prepayment Premium), and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(f) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.12 (each, a “Waivable Prepayment”) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date (the “Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Loan or Commitment of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such prepayment. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Prepayment, which amount shall be applied in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Loans of such Lenders (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(d)) to the extent of any excess, to the Borrower for any of the purposes permitted hereunder.

(g) All prepayments (whether optional under Section 2.11, mandatory under Section 2.12(a) or (b), or otherwise including by way of acceleration) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and any Prepayment Premium.

2.13. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender (acting reasonably) to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender (acting reasonably) to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in Sections 2.13(a) or 2.13(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under Sections 2.13(a) or 2.13(b) with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided

further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

2.14. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Each payment of interest on the Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans.

(b) Each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Loan shall be allocated pro rata among the Revolving Lenders in proportion to their respective principal amounts of their outstanding Revolving Loans.

(c) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Term Loan shall be allocated pro rata among the Term Lenders in proportion to their respective principal amounts of their outstanding Term Loans.

(d) Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

2.15. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements.

2.16. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at such accounts at such banks as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) All monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows (i) first, to unpaid fees and reimbursement of unpaid expenses of the Agents, (ii) second, to any unpaid fees and reimbursement of unpaid expenses of the Lenders to the extent constituting part of the Obligations, (iii) third, to unpaid interest, (iv) fourth, ratably to repay the principal of the Revolving Loans, (v) fifth, to repay the principal of Term Loans, and (vi) last, to all other Obligations. Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Agents and Lenders as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrower.

2.17. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or the Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower certifying to such entitlement to exemption from, or a reduced rate of, withholding or at a reduced rate. Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by law or reasonably requested to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding, information reporting requirements, or other similar provisions.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including a credit in lieu of a cash refund) as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to that Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by

such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or to apply for any refund.

2.18. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

(a) In the event that (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.13, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification has been consented to by the Required Lenders, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may at the sole expense and effort of the Borrower (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) and, in addition, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents; provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.13); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.17, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(b)), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation

under Section 2.13 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.17 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.18(a).

(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.13, or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.13 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

ARTICLE III.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that all such approvals are within the discretion of the relevant Gaming Authorities and agree that no pledge of, nor restriction upon the hypothecation or transfer of, the equity securities of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries which are Nevada, New Jersey, Mississippi, Louisiana or Indiana gaming licensees may be effective unless and until the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, has made all necessary applications to and procure all necessary consents, approvals and favorable rulings of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the NJ Commission, the Indiana Gaming Commission, the Mississippi Gaming Commission, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board and any other relevant Gaming Authorities, as applicable.

(1) terminate forthwith the Commitments; and

The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

8.05. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agents that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries, without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, in connection with Borrowings hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loan on the Effective Date or by the funding of any new Loans, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Effective Date or as of the date of funding of such new Loans.

8.06. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its applicable Commitment, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents of each Agent (each, an “Indemnitee”), to the extent that such Indemnitee shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT; provided, no Lender shall

be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Commitment proportion; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

8.07. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent as the case may be) may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (or a successor Collateral Agent as the case may be). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring the Administrative Agent (or the retiring Collateral Agent) gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent (or the retiring Collateral Agent) may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (or a successor Collateral Agent) from among the Lenders.

(b) The Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent as the case may be) may be removed with or without cause by the written consent of the Required Lenders. Upon any such removal, the Required Lenders shall, within five Business Days’, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (or a successor Collateral Agent as the case may be).

(c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent (or as Collateral Agent) hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent (or as Collateral Agent), that successor Administrative Agent (or that successor Collateral Agent) shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (or the retiring or removed Collateral Agent) and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (or the retiring or removed Collateral Agent) shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent (or to such successor Collateral Agent) all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent (or successor Collateral Agent) under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent (or such successor Collateral Agent) such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as

may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent (or to such successor Collateral Agent) of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent (or such retiring or removed Collateral Agent) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s (or any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s) resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent (or as Collateral Agent), the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent) hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder to an Affiliate of Icahn Agency Services LLC, or Affiliate of Icahn Agency Services LLC without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, the Borrower or the Lenders; provided that the Borrower and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of Section 8.03 and Section 8.06 shall apply to any the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of Section 8.03 and of Section 8.06 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights, benefits and privileges of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party,

Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have the rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

8.08. Security Documents.

(a) Agents under Security Document. Each Lender hereby further irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Collateral and the Security Documents. Subject to Section 9.08, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Required Lenders(or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.08) have otherwise consented, or (ii) release any Guarantor in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04 or with respect to which Required Lenders(or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.08) have otherwise consented.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Security Documents. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Security Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.

8.09. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.

In addition, each Loan Party agrees, and agrees to cause its subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Platform. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(c) No Warranties as to Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE INDEMNITEES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor or the performance or observance by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Sections 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and

information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, and a redacted version of the Register showing the entries with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b), if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower, to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or Person has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) or all or substantially all of the Collateral).

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.19.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(j) In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.04, any Lender may assign and/ or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its promissory notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided further that, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

(b) The Borrower agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees of one firm of attorneys per jurisdiction and per practice area, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any of the Guarantors, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or the Guarantors, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such Agent or Lender; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.05(b) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Loan Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under Section 9.05(a) or 9.05(b) (but without affecting the obligations of the Borrower to make such payment), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments (including the Revolving Commitment) at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at that time and from time to time thereafter while such Event of Default is subsisting, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the

Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or the provisions of this Section or release any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender or (iv) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(c) To the extent required by any Gaming Law, the Borrower shall notify all relevant Gaming Authorities of any amendment to this Agreement or any Loan Document.

9.09. Application of Gaming Laws.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to Gaming Laws and laws involving the sale and distribution of liquor (the “Liquor Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) it is subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities or Governmental Authorities enforcing such Gaming Laws or Liquor Laws (and to be called forward by such Gaming Authorities or Governmental Authorities), in their discretion, for licensing, qualification or findings of suitability or to file or provide other information and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to the Collateral and the ownership, possession and operation of facilities subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the relevant Gaming Authorities. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties hereto acknowledge that, with respect to any Collateral held in the State of Louisiana, the gaming laws in such state

provide that a licensed owner or any other Person may not sell, transfer, lease, hypothecate, borrow or loan money against an owner’s license and therefore, in no event shall the Collateral include any Louisiana gaming license or any interest therein and each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that they have no interest in, or rights with respect to, any Louisiana gaming license.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities in connection with the provision of such documents and other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities relating to the Loan Parties or Loan Documents.

(c) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that if the Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that a Lender is a Disqualified Lender (and such Lender is notified by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such disqualification), the Borrower shall have the right to (i) cause such Disqualified Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with Section 9.04) all of its interests, rights and obligations in Loans or Commitments or (ii) in the event that (A) the Borrower is unable to assign such Lender’s Loans or Commitments after using its best efforts to cause such an assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepay such Disqualified Lender’s Loans and terminate its Commitments; provided, however, that in the event that a Lender is disqualified by any Gaming Authority, the Disqualified Lender must transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement at par value to any other Lender who agrees to accept such assignment regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. Notice to such Disqualified Lender shall be given ten days prior to the required date of assignment or prepayment, as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or prepayment is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the Disqualified Lender shall cooperate with the Borrower in effectuating the required assignment or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice and, in any event, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any prepayment of a Disqualified Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 9.09(c) shall be at a price equal to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Loans and interest at the date such Lender became a Disqualified Lender (plus any Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Disqualified Lender to the date such Lender became a Disqualified Lender), (ii) the price at which such Lender acquired its Loans and interest to the date such Lender became a Disqualified Lender (plus Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Disqualified Lender to the date such Lender became a Disqualified Lender), (iii) such lower price as may be reasonably available in the syndicated loan market for the assignment of such Loans and (iv) such other amount as may be required by any such Gaming Authority.

(d) If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents it shall become necessary or, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, advisable for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to become licensed or found qualified under any Gaming Law as a condition of receiving the benefit of the Collateral encumbered by the Security Documents or other Loan Documents or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby agrees to consent to the application for such license or qualification and to execute such further documents as may be required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that, with respect to any Collateral held in Indiana, Indiana Code 4-33-4-21 provides that a licensed owner or any other person may not lease, hypothecate, borrow or loan money against an owner’s license. Therefore, in no event shall the Collateral include any Indiana gaming license or any interest therein and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that they have no interest in, or rights with respect to, any Indiana gaming license.

9.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.10 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

9.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including but not limited to the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder) shall supersede the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter and the Commitment Letter shall be deemed to be null and void in all respects.

9.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

9.13. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders), or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.14. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

9.15. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is expressly not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

9.16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or ..pdf transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.17. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

9.18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any New York State court sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

9.19. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.19, to (i) any actual or

prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.19. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or any Guarantor and related to the Borrower or any Guarantor or their businesses, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided that, in the case of Information received from the Borrower or any Guarantor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.19 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

9.20. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

9.21. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates and their respective Related Funds from time to time may hold investments in, and make other loans to, or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, including the ownership, purchase and sale of equity interests in the Borrower or the Guarantors, and each Loan Party and each Lender hereby expressly consents to such relationships.

9.22. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth on Schedule 2.01 hereto (the “Signing Date Lenders”) shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Signing Date Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing), written or facsimile notice (actually received) that the same has been signed and mailed to it. On the date (the “Effective Date”) when each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been either met or waived by the Administrative Agent, the obligations under this Agreement arising as of the Effective Date shall be in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Commitments of each Signing Date Lender hereunder shall be effective as of the date such Lender has executed its counterpart hereof.

9.23. Obligations of Loan Parties Prior to the Effective Date.

Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document shall commit or otherwise obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party to cause the occurrence of the Effective Date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
