purposes of this definition, the Construction Guaranty, the Indirect

d. To the extent that reference is made in this Agreement to any
term defined in, or to any other provision of, the Disbursement Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement (Credit Parties) or any other agreement, such term or
provision shall continue to have the original meaning thereof notwithstanding
any termination, expiration or amendment of the Disbursement Agreement or such
other agreement.
x. Xxxxxxx is entering into this Agreement solely in his capacity as
a holder of, and only with respect to, the Xxxxxxx Indebtedness and nothing
herein shall be construed to waive, limit, impair or enlarge any right, duty or
privilege that Xxxxxxx may have in any other capacity or with respect to any
other indebtedness, claim or interest.
2. Xxxxxxx agrees that so long as any of the Obligations remain
outstanding or any commitments under the Facility Agreements remain effective,
all Xxxxxxx Indebtedness shall be obligations of (i) Venetian only in the case
of any obligations in respect of the Xxxxxxx Completion Guaranty and (ii)
Venetian and Mall Construction Subsidiary only in the case of any obligations in
respect of the Substitute Tranche B Guaranty provided that the Substitute
Tranche B Loan may be assumed by Mall Subsidiary and secured by its assets to
the extent permitted by Paragraph 12.2 of the Substitute Tranche B Note. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Xxxxxxx further agrees as follows:
a. For so long as any of the Facilities remain outstanding, the
Xxxxxxx Indebtedness shall not be secured by, directly or indirectly, any liens
on or security interests in any property or assets owned directly or indirectly
by Venetian or LVSI or any Subsidiary
5
of Venetian or LVSI or by any stock, securities, membership interests,
partnership interests or other direct or indirect equity interests in Venetian
or LVSI or any Subsidiary of Venetian or LVSI;
b. For so long as any of the Facilities remain outstanding, all
Xxxxxxx Indebtedness is hereby subordinated to all Obligations of the Company to
the Credit Parties to the extent and in the manner set forth herein (including
without limitation Section 8) and, as applicable, in the Completion Guaranty
Note and the Substitute Tranche B Note.
x. Xxxxxxx shall not contest the validity or priority of or seek to
enjoin or otherwise delay or interfere with the Exercise of Remedies (as defined
in the Intercreditor Agreement (Credit Parties) in effect as of the date hereof)
by any Credit Party nor shall Xxxxxxx institute any suit or assert in any suit,
bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim relating to the Xxxxxxx
Indebtedness against the Credit Parties seeking damages from any of them or
other relief, by way of specific performance, injunction or otherwise, taken or
omitted by the Credit Parties with respect to the Collateral. Xxxxxxx will
execute and deliver to the Credit Parties any other instrument reasonably
requested by the Credit Parties to further assure the subordinated status of the
Xxxxxxx Indebtedness.
3. Xxxxxxx hereby confirms and agrees that the liens and security
interests held by each Secured Lender in the Collateral shall secure all
Obligations of Company now or hereafter owing to each Secured Lender under each
Facility throughout the term of this Agreement notwithstanding (i) the
availability of any other collateral to any Secured Lender, (ii) the actual date
and time of execution, delivery, recording, filing and perfection of any of the
Security Documents and (iii) the fact that any lien or security interest created
by any of the Security Documents, or any claim with respect thereto, is or may
be subordinated, avoided or disallowed in whole or in part under the Bankruptcy
Code or other applicable federal or state law with respect to Venetian or any
Affiliate of Venetian. In the event of a proceeding, whether voluntary or
involuntary, for insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution,
bankruptcy or other similar proceedings pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable federal or state law, Xxxxxxx further confirms and agrees that the
Obligations due and outstanding under each Facility Agreement shall include all
principal and additional advances permitted by or provided for thereunder,
Protective Advances made pursuant to or as permitted by the Intercreditor
Agreement (Credit Parties), interest, default interest, LIBOR breakage and swap
breakage, post petition interest and all other amounts due thereunder, for
periods before and for periods after the commencement of any such proceedings,
even if the claim for such amounts is disallowed pursuant to applicable law, and
all proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be paid
to the Secured Lenders notwithstanding the disallowance of any such claim or the
invalidity or subordination of any lien on or security interest in the
Collateral under applicable law.
4. All provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to,
all matters relating to the creation, validity, perfection, priority and
subordination of the liens on and security interests in the Collateral intended
to be created by the Security Documents and all provisions regarding the
allocation and priority of payments with respect to any
6
Facility shall survive the filing of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code and
be fully enforceable by each Credit Party against Xxxxxxx during such
proceeding. In addition, Xxxxxxx hereby waives all rights of subrogation (if
any) against the Company as contemplated by Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code,
or otherwise, and agrees that the Xxxxxxx Completion Guaranty and the Substitute
Tranche B Guaranty shall remain valid, binding and enforceable in accordance
with their terms notwithstanding the provisions of Section 365(c)(2), if
applicable, to the effect that the Completion Guaranty Loan and the Substitute
Tranche B Loan may not be assumed by the debtor in any such proceeding. Xxxxxxx
further agrees that so long as any Obligations are outstanding under any of the
Financing Agreements, Xxxxxxx shall not be entitled to Exercise Remedies against
Venetian, LVSI or any of their Subsidiaries or file a petition in bankruptcy
against Venetian, LVSI or any of their Subsidiaries.
Xxxxxxx shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding of or
against Venetian, LVSI and/or Mall Construction Subsidiary in which the filing
of proofs of claims is required or permitted by law, all claims which Xxxxxxx
may have against the Company relating to the Xxxxxxx Indebtedness, in
furtherance of the subordination contemplated hereunder. If Xxxxxxx does not
file any such claim, the Intercreditor Agent as attorney-in-fact for Xxxxxxx, is
hereby authorized to do so in the name of Xxxxxxx or, in the Intercreditor's
Agent discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of claim
to be filed in the name of such nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. In all such cases, whether in
administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person authorized to pay such a
claim shall pay the amounts (i) if such payment is made in respect of the
Completion Guaranty Note, to the holders of Senior Debt (as defined in the
Subordinated Note Indenture) and all other Obligations under the Facilities
until paid in full in cash or cash equivalents and (ii) if such payment is made
in respect of the Substitute Tranche B Note, to the holders of Senior Debt until
paid in full in cash or cash equivalents and then to the holders of the
Subordinated Notes and the holder of the Substitute Tranche B Note pro rata.
5. The Credit Parties shall have the right at any time and without
the consent of Xxxxxxx and without affecting the validity and priority of the
liens on and security interests in the Collateral created by the Security
Documents to (i) amend, modify or extend the Facilities or the Obligations
evidenced thereby, (ii) to release any portion of the Collateral from the lien
thereon and security interest therein and (iii) to refinance the Obligations
evidenced thereby, and the provisions of Section 2 hereof with respect to the
validity, priority, perfection, and subordination of all liens on and security
interests in the Collateral held by any Secured Lender to secure Obligations
under its Facility shall continue to apply to such Facility as so amended,
modified, extended or refinanced.
6. The Completion Guaranty Loan and the Substitute Tranche B Loan
shall at all times be evidenced by the Completion Guaranty Note and the
Substitute Tranche B Note, respectively. Xxxxxxx shall not amend or modify the
Completion Guaranty Note or the Substitute Tranche B Note in any material
respect without the prior written consent of the Bank Agent and the Interim Mall
Lender except to the extent permitted
7
under each of the Facility Agreements. Subject to the restrictions and
conditions of the Facility Agreements, Xxxxxxx may assign, transfer or refinance
all or any portion of the Completion Guaranty Loan or the Substitute Tranche B
Loan, provided that any assignee, transferee or holder of any refinanced or
replacement loan shall be bound by and shall assume all obligations of Xxxxxxx
under this Agreement. Xxxxxxx shall not lend money to, or acquire indebtedness
of, LVSI, Venetian or any of their Subsidiaries, except as permitted by the
Facility Agreements (in effect on the date of incurrence or acquisition of such
indebtedness).
7. Until all Obligations under the Facilities have been paid in
full, Xxxxxxx waives any claim, right or remedy which Xxxxxxx may now have or
hereafter acquire against the Company that arises hereunder and/or from the
performance by the Credit Parties hereunder including, without limitation, any
claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of the Credit
Parties, the Disbursement Agent or the Intercreditor Agent against the Company,
or any security which the Credit Parties, the Disbursement Agent or the
Intercreditor Agent now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim,
right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law
or otherwise.
8. A. Until all Obligations under the Facilities have been paid in
full, Company shall not make and Xxxxxxx shall not demand or accept any payments
in respect of the Xxxxxxx Indebtedness except to the extent permitted under the
Completion Guaranty Note or the Substitute Tranche B Note, as applicable.
B. In addition to the restrictions under clause A above, for so long
as the Bank Credit Agreement and the GMAC Credit Agreement remain in effect, the
Company shall not make and Xxxxxxx shall not demand or accept any payments of
interest or principal in respect of the Xxxxxxx Indebtedness unless and until
all Obligations have been paid in full unless consented to by Bank Agent and
GMAC, provided that foregoing shall not restrict (i) any capitalization of
interest or any non cash payment of interest with pay-in-kind securities which
are at least as subordinated as the Xxxxxxx Indebtedness being paid and (ii) any
deemed payment of the Substitute Tranche B Note upon an assumption thereof by
Mall Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Substitute Tranche B Note.
C. Notwithstanding the restrictions of clause B above, so long as no
Potential Event of Default under the Disbursement Agreement or under any
Financing Agreement nor any Event of Default under the Disbursement Agreement or
any Financing Agreement shall then exist and be continuing, Company may (i) make
payments on the Completion Guaranty Loan from amounts which the Company is
required or permitted to fund into the Guaranty Deposit Account pursuant to
Section 5.1.1(h)(i) of the Disbursement Agreement after the making of such
Completion Guaranty Loan, (ii) on or after Final Completion, make payments on
the Completion Guaranty Loan from amounts which are advanced to the Company
pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Disbursement Agreement for the purpose of making
such payments, (iii) after Final Completion, make payments on the
8
Completion Guaranty Loan from any amounts Company receives as Liquidated Damages
and (iv) on the Final Completion Date, make payments on the Completion Guaranty
Loan from amounts which are returned to Mall Construction Subsidiary from funds
in the Mall Retainage/Punchlist Account in accordance with the Mall Escrow
Agreement, provided that such payments shall not be greater than all amounts
previously deposited into the Mall Retainage/Punchlist Account from the Guaranty
Deposit Account.
D. Notwithstanding the restrictions of clause B above, Company may
(i) (ii) after the repayment of all Obligations under the GMAC Credit Agreement,
repay the Substitute Tranche B Loan with the cash proceeds received from the
Mall Subsidiary under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, (ii) repay the
Substitute Tranche B Loan with the proceeds received from a refinancing thereof
permitted under the Bank Credit Agreement and the GMAC Credit Agreement and
(iii) on the date of transfer of the Mall Collateral to the Mall Subsidiary, the
Company may prepay the Substitute Tranche B Loan, in part, in an amount up to
the Capitalized Amount; provided, however, that any such prepayment in clause
(iii) shall be permitted only to the extent that after giving effect to such
prepayment (i) Available Funds (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) equals
or exceed Remaining Costs (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) and (ii)
the Unallocated Contingency Balance (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement)
equals or exceeds the Required Minimum Contingency (as defined in the
Disbursement Agreement). The "Capitalized Amount" shall mean an amount equal to
the interest on the Substitute Tranche B Note that has been added to the
principal amount thereof pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Substitute Tranche B
Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Substitute Tranche B Note to the
date of prepayment. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee and the Subordinated
Note Indenture Trustee confirm that for purposes of Section 4.07 of the Mortgage
Notes Indenture and of Section 4.07 of the Subordinated Notes Indenture, the
payment under clause (iii) above is a scheduled payment of principal and
interest with respect to the Substitute Tranche B Note.
E. To the extent Company makes any payment in contravention of the
foregoing provisions, such payment shall be received by Xxxxxxx in trust for the
holders of Senior Debt and other Obligations under the Facilities and Xxxxxxx
shall cause the same to be paid over immediately in the form received (i) if
such payment is made in respect of the Completion Guaranty Note, to the holders
of Senior Debt and all other Obligations under the Facilities until paid in full
in cash or cash equivalents and (ii) if such payment is made in respect of the
Substitute Tranche B Note, to the holders of Senior Debt until paid in full in
cash or cash equivalents and then to the holders of the Subordinated Notes and
the holder of the Substitute Tranche B Note pro rata.
