(2) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.10, 4.10, 4.15, 4.16 and 9.05 hereof).

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers shall be required:
(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.

Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of either Issuer holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

59
Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or any of their Affiliates, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; provided, however, that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxx Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Xxxx Las Vegas for Xxxx Las Vegas’ most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued, as the case may be (the “Reference Period”) would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis, including a pro forma application of the net proceeds from the Indebtedness, as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):
(1) the incurrence by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount at any one
75
time outstanding (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the sum of the face amount thereof and related unpaid reimbursement obligations), to the extent then classified as having been incurred in reliance on this clause (1) not to exceed (i) $1.0 billion less (ii) the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Assets Sales applied by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture to repay any term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and effect a corresponding permanent reduction of commitments thereunder pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof or otherwise;

(4) incurrence by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Xxxx Las Vegas and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
(A) if Xxxx Las Vegas or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not Xxxx Las Vegas or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of Xxxx Las Vegas, or its Note Guarantee under this Indenture, in the case of a Guarantor, except that no Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured; and
(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Xxxx Las Vegas or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither Xxxx Las Vegas nor a Restricted Subsidiary thereof shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (4);
(5) the incurrence by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;
(6) the incurrence by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness solely in respect of performance, surety, appeal or similar bonds or commercial or standby letters of credit, so long as such Indebtedness is incurred in the ordinary course of business and the aggregate amount of all such bonds and standby letters of credit is not greater than $60.0 million at any time outstanding;
76

(14) the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes;
(15) the incurrence by the Issuers of the Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and the Note Guarantees;
(16) the incurrence of Indebtedness (and the Guarantee of such Indebtedness by Xxxx Las Vegas) in an amount not to exceed 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Aircraft, which is secured only by Xxxxx permitted by clause (26) of the definition of “Permitted Liens;”
(17) the incurrence by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (so long as such Indebtedness is incurred under the Credit Agreement, through the issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture, is unsecured
77
Indebtedness or is Permitted Junior Debt) to be used to develop and construct an Additional Entertainment Facility and/or a Retail Facility on land included in the Projects in an aggregate principal amount (or original accreted value, as applicable) at any time not to exceed 66 2/3% of the aggregate cost of such Additional Entertainment Facility and/or Retail Facility; provided that, subsequent to the date of this Indenture and on or prior to the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, net cash proceeds have been received by Xxxx Las Vegas as a contribution to its common equity capital in an amount equal to at least 33 1/3% of the aggregate cost of such Additional Entertainment Facility and/or Retail Facility, which proceeds have been irrevocably committed at the time of such contribution for use in the development and construction of such Additional Entertainment Facility and/or a Retail Facility; and
(18) the incurrence by Xxxx Capital, as co-obligor, of any Indebtedness which Xxxx Las Vegas is permitted to incur pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in (1) through (17) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Issuers shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 as of the date of such classification or reclassification. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the date on which the Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture shall initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) hereof. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. In addition, any Indebtedness which is permitted to be incurred by Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under clause (7) set forth above may be incurred under the Credit Agreement or through the issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture.

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
78
(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.
Section 4.10 Asset Sales.
Xxxx Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(a) Xxxx Las Vegas (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (it being understood that a percentage of the purchase price may be subject to escrow arrangements customary for asset sales);
(b) if the aggregate consideration to be received by Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary is in excess of $10.0 million, the Fair Market Value is evidenced by a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Xxxx Las Vegas delivered to the Trustee; and
(c) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
For purposes of this Section 4.10, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
(1) any liabilities, as shown on Xxxx Las Vegas’ most recent consolidated balance sheet, of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and
(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Xxxx Las Vegas or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 30 Business Days by Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.
Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Xxxx Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof. In any such case, Xxxx Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall take all necessary action to ensure that the security interest of the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, continues as a perfected first priority security interest (equal and ratable with the security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) on any property or assets acquired or constructed with the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale on the terms set forth in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Xxxx Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may (1)
79
apply the Net Proceeds to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any pari passu secured revolving credit Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (2) invest the Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents which, at any time other than during a Collateral Release Period, shall be subject to a perfected first priority security interest (equal and ratable with the security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes and the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes, and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, as security for the Notes.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute “Excess Net Proceeds.” Within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or (ii) the date when the proceeds of any sale of assets are required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas (such Excess Net Proceeds and the proceeds described in the preceding clause (ii) shall collectively constitute “Excess Proceeds”), Xxxx Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of the Excess Proceeds, determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”), to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Proceeds less the Asset Sale Offer Amount (the “Asset Sale Repayment Amount”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Asset Sale Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment, such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Asset Sale Offer Amount and offered to the holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer and repayment of any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Xxxx Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may use those Excess Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture, the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes and the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, to reduce revolving credit Indebtedness (and, if required, commitments) under the Credit Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Asset Sale Offer Amount that may be applied to the Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased as described in Sections 3.02 and 3.10 hereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations
80
are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.10 or this Section 4.10, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) Xxxx Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Xxxx Las Vegas (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to Xxxx Las Vegas than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;
(2) Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee:
(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of Xxxx Capital set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of Xxxx Capital, to the extent that there are any such disinterested directors of Xxxx Capital; and
(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing prior to the consummation of such Affiliate Transaction; and

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment;

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.15 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under Section 3.10 or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.16 Events of Loss
After any Event of Loss with respect to Collateral, Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from the Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the damaged Collateral, with no obligation to make any purchase of any Notes; so long as, in the case of any such Collateral with a Fair Market Value (or replacement cost, if higher) in excess of $500.0 million:
(a) Xxxx Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 90 days of the Event of Loss a written opinion from a reputable contractor that the damaged Collateral can be rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating within 365 days following the delivery of such written opinion to the Trustee;
(b) Xxxx Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 120 days of the Event of Loss an Officers’ Certificate certifying that Xxxx Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary has available from Net Loss Proceeds, cash on hand or available borrowings under Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof to complete the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction described in clause (a) above and, together with any anticipated revenues projected to be generated during the repair or restoration period, to pay debt service on its Indebtedness during the repair or restoration period; and
(c) the damaged Collateral is rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating in substantially the manner that it was operating immediately prior to the Event of Loss within 365 days following the delivery of such written opinion to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16, if the damaged Collateral is not necessary for and is not used in the operation of the Xxxx Las Vegas Resort or Encore at Xxxx Las Vegas, as the case may be, Xxxx Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply the Net Loss Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof.
Any Net Loss Proceeds that are (1) not reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.16 or (2) otherwise required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas, in each case, shall be deemed “Excess Loss Proceeds.” Within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million or (ii) the date when, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Excess Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas, Xxxx Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of such Excess Loss Proceeds determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Loss Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “Event of Loss Offer Amount”), to make an offer (an “Event of Loss Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal
85
amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Loss Proceeds less the Event of Loss Offer Amount (the “Event of Loss Repayment Amount”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Event of Loss Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment but does not exceed $100.0 million (unless the lenders under the Credit Agreement have waived any requirement of Xxxx Las Vegas to prepay revolving credit Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to effect a corresponding permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Event of Loss Offer Amount and offered to the Holders of the Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer and repayment of any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Xxxx Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may use those Excess Loss Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture, the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes, the Notes and the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, to reduce revolving credit Indebtedness (and, if required, commitments) under the Credit Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Event of Loss Offer Amount that may be applied to the Event of Loss Offer, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased as described in Sections 3.02 and Section 3.10 hereof. Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Any Event of Loss Offer made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, or the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes shall be required to be made to the Holders, as holders of Pari Passu Debt (as defined in those indentures).
Pending their application, all Net Loss Proceeds shall either be (1) applied to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any pari passu secured revolving credit Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, or (2) invested in Cash Equivalents held in an account in which the Trustee has a perfected first priority security interest for the benefit of the Holders (equal and ratable with the perfected security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). These funds and securities shall be released to Xxxx Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) to pay for or reimburse Xxxx Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) for either (1) the actual cost of a permitted use of Net Loss Proceeds as provided in this Section 4.16, or (2) the Event of Loss Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Xxxx Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, a security interest (equal and ratable with the perfected security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes and the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes, and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), on any property or assets rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed with such Net Loss Proceeds on the terms set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.
86
In the event of an Event of Loss pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Event of Loss” with respect to property or assets that have a Fair Market Value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $500.0 million, Xxxx Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall be required to receive consideration:
(a) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (evidenced by a resolution of Xxxx Capital’s Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the property or assets subject to the Event of Loss; and
(b) at least 80% of which is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.16 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
The Board of Directors of Xxxx Capital may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Xxxx Capital, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas if that designation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Xxxx Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made in an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments, as determined by Xxxx Las Vegas. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” The Board of Directors of Xxxx Capital may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default.
Any designation of a Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, Xxxx Las Vegas shall be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of Xxxx Capital may at any time redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of
87
Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter Reference Period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.
Section 4.18 Limitation on Status as Investment Company.

(b) the gross cash proceeds of such sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Xxxx Capital or that Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback transaction; and
(c) the transfer of assets in such sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and Xxxx Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.10 hereof.
Section 4.20 Restrictions on Payments of Management Fees.
Xxxx Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
(a) pay Management Fees if, at the time of payment of such Management Fees, a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall occur as a result thereof, or
(b) prepay any Management Fees.
Any Management Fees not permitted to be paid during a particular 12-month period pursuant to this Section 4.20 shall be deferred and shall accrue. Such accrued and unpaid Management Fees may be paid in any subsequent 12-month period to the extent such payment would be permitted under this Section 4.20 and the Management Fees Subordination Agreement.
88
Section 4.21 Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests in Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries.
Xxxx Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests in any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas to any Person (other than Xxxx Las Vegas or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas that is a Guarantor), unless:

(b) the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof.
In addition, Xxxx Las Vegas shall not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’ qualifying shares) to any Person other than to Xxxx Las Vegas or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas that is a Guarantor.
Section 4.22 Amendments to Certain Agreements.
(a) Xxxx Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, or consent or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or other change to, or otherwise fail to enforce, or terminate or abandon, any of the provisions of any Affiliate Agreement, if such amendment, modification, waiver or other change, failure to enforce, termination or abandonment (individually or collectively with all such amendments, modifications, waivers and other changes, failures to enforce, terminations or abandonments taken as a whole) would:

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
98
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. In addition, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, or Liquidated Damages, if any, when due, a Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a) such Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
99
(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
100
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10 Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

The Issuers or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.10, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof), the Notes, the Note Guarantees and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the

Notes, the Note Guarantees or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Collateral Documents, any amendment or modification to the definition of “Excluded Assets” in the Pledge and Security Agreement or the definition of “Excluded Property” in the Deeds of Trust shall require, in addition to the other consents required pursuant to Section 10.01(b) hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consent obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), if as a result of such amendment or modification, the Notes will not be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or by the Guarantors with any provision of the Note Guarantees.

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes;
(g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.10, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof);
(h) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case, except in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents;
(i) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture if the assets or properties of that Guarantor constitute all or substantially all of the Collateral, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(k) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
114
Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
ARTICLE 10.
COLLATERAL AND SECURITY
Section 10.01 Collateral Documents.
(a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest and premium and Liquidated Damages (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors to the Holders of Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Collateral Documents which the Issuers and the Guarantors have entered into prior to or simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture (including, without limitation, the Collateral Documents listed on Exhibit G hereto). Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral and limitations on exercise of rights and remedies) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Collateral Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuers and Guarantors shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Issuers shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Collateral Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interests in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by
115
the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) for the security and benefit of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees secured by the Collateral Documents, according to the intent and purposes therein expressed. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuers shall take, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries that are party to one or more Collateral Documents to take, upon request of the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder and of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien of the priority required by the Collateral Documents in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, in each case, equal and ratable with the Liens securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement and subject to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes are not secured by the deeds of trust entered into prior to the date hereof to secure the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes or the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder by accepting a Note agrees that, as described in the Deeds of Trust and the Pledge and Security Agreement, each of the Deeds of Trust and Pledge and Security Agreement and any other document or instrument pursuant to which the Issuers or any Affiliate thereof from time to time grants a Lien to the Trustee or the Holders or an agent or representative on their behalf to secure their obligations hereunder (collectively, the “Security Documents”) are “Shared Security Documents,” and that the Trustee is authorized and directed by each Holder to treat and the Trustee and each such Holder agrees that it will treat the same as “Shared Security Documents” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the terms thereof for all purposes, including without limitation, for purposes of amending, modifying, varying or waiving any provision thereof, releasing any collateral thereunder, exercising any rights or remedies thereunder, directing the Collateral Agent thereunder to take any action thereunder or with respect thereto, removing the Collateral Agent and for purposes of sharing the proceeds of the collateral thereunder with the other First Lien Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Trustee shall (and is hereby authorized to) take or instruct the Collateral Agent thereunder to take such actions under the Security Documents or related thereto as requested by the Required Secured Parties from time to time, and notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary, unless all debt secured by the Security Documents has been Discharged, the Trustee will not release or instruct the Collateral Agent thereunder to release any Collateral unless such release has been consented to by each other Project Credit Party or such Collateral has been released from the Lien securing the obligations owed to all other First Lien Secured Parties. The Holders hereby designate and direct the Trustee to designate, and the Trustee hereby designates Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as its collateral agent to act as specified in and under the Intercreditor Agreement, this Indenture, the Security Documents and any other such documents or instruments entered into by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (and its successors) as the collateral agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders. In addition, regardless of whether required by the Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder hereby agrees that to the extent that the Holders obtain a recovery under a title insurance policy that insures the Deeds of Trust, and such recovery would result in the Holders receiving a greater percentage recovery on the Notes (relative to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes) than the corresponding percentage recovery that will
116
be obtained by the other First Lien Secured Parties that are parties to (or whose representative is party to) the Intercreditor Agreement as of the date of this Indenture (after giving effect to Section 8 of the Intercreditor Agreement and the title insurance proceeds received by such other First Lien Secured Parties from their policies of title insurance) in connection with the exercise of remedies or other event or loss that gave rise to the recovery obtained by the Holders, then the Holders will turn over a portion of such proceeds to the Collateral Agent for distribution to such other First Lien Secured Parties in amounts necessary to ensure that each such party receives a similar percentage recovery (relative to the outstanding principal amount of First Lien Secured Obligations then held by such party) from such proceeds. The Issuers and the Guarantors hereby consent to the foregoing provisions. Each Project Credit Party is an express beneficiary of this Section 10.01(b) and the provisions of this Section 10.01(b) may not be amended or modified without the consent of each Project Credit Party.
Section 10.02 Recording and Opinions.
(a) The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Indenture an Opinion of Counsel either:
(1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering and filing of this Indenture, financing statements or other instruments necessary to make effective the Lien intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, and reciting with respect to the security interests in the Collateral, the details of such action; or

(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation will become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;
129
(c) the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuers under this Indenture; and
(d) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture , if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 13.
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
Section 13.01 Joint and Several Liability.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents to which both of the Issuers are a party, the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuers, and either of them, shall be deemed joint and several obligations of the Issuers. Any waiver including, without limitation, any suretyship waiver, made by either Issuer in this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document to which both of the Issuers are a party shall be deemed to be made also by the other Issuer and references in any such waiver to either Issuer shall be deemed to include the other Issuer and each of them to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
130
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document to which both of the Issuers are a party, each such document to which both Issuers are party shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the following waivers:
Each of the Issuers hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including, without limitation, (i) any right to require the Trustee or any of the Holders (each a “Beneficiary”) to proceed against either of the Issuers or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Beneficiary at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the power of a Beneficiary before proceeding against such Issuer or other Person, (ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or in any action for the collection or performance of the Obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and any of the Collateral Documents (collectively, the “Note Obligations”), (iii) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any Person or the failure of a Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any Person, (iv) appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets, redemption, exemption, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non action on the part of a Beneficiary, any Issuer, any endorser, guarantor or creditor of either Issuer or on the part of any other Person under this or any other instrument or document in connection with any Obligation or evidence of Indebtedness held by a Beneficiary as collateral or in connection with the Note Obligations, (v) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Beneficiary, including, without limitation, an election to proceed by non judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of either Issuer, the right of either Issuer to proceed against the other Issuer or any other Person for reimbursement, or both, (vi) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (vii) any duty on the part of a Beneficiary to disclose to either Issuer any facts a Beneficiary may now or hereafter know about either of the Issuers or any other Person, regardless of whether a Beneficiary has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which such Issuer intends to assume, or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such Issuer, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to the either Issuer, because each Issuer acknowledges that each Issuer is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of each of the Issuers or any other Person and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non payment of any Note Obligations, (viii) any defense arising because of the election of a Beneficiary, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law, (ix) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Law, (x) any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the other Issuer or any other Person that arises from the existence of performance of each Issuer of its obligations under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy by a Beneficiary against the other Issuer or any collateral which a Beneficiary now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not
131
such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either of the Issuers or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights, (xi) any rights which it may acquire by way of contribution under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights, and (xii) any defense based on one action laws and any other anti deficiency protections granted to guarantors by applicable law. No failure or delay on the Trustee’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under this Indenture shall impair or waive one such power, right or privilege. Each of the Issuers acknowledges and agrees that any nonrecourse or exculpation provided for in this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, or any other provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, limiting the Beneficiaries’ recourse to specific collateral, or limiting the Beneficiaries’ right to enforce a deficiency judgment against the Issuers, shall have absolutely no application to the Issuers’ liability under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Documents.
(c) In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Article 13 and the corresponding provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document to which both of the Issuers are a party, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1) Interest. Xxxx Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Xxxx Las Vegas” ) and Xxxx Las Vegas Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Wynn Capital,” and together with Xxxx Las Vegas, the “Issuers”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.375% per annum from March 12, 2012 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2012. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(2) Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
A-1-2
shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
(4) Indenture and Collateral Documents. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Issuers. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a grant of a security interest in Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes (other than Exchange Notes) issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “Additional Notes.” The term “Notes” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.
(5) Optional Redemption.
(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuers shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to March 15, 2017. On or after March 15, 2017, the Issuers shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:
Year |
Percentage | |||
2017 |
102.688 | % | ||
2018 |
101.792 | % | ||
2019 |
100.896 | % | ||
2020 and thereafter |
100.000 | % |
Unless the Issuers defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to March 15, 2015, the Issuers may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings of Wynn Resorts that are contributed to Xxxx Las Vegas; at
A-1-3
a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture (including Additional Notes) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, and that such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Qualified Equity Offering.
(6) Mandatory Redemption. Other than as set forth in Paragraph 7 below, the Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7) Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note, if any Gaming Authority requires a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law and the Holder or Beneficial Owner (a) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (b) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to: (1) require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of: (a) the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability during such period, or (b) the receipt of the notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or (2) redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to: (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, or (b) the lesser of: (i) the principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes, in either case, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes to the earlier of (A) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (B) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.
The Issuers are not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs relating thereto. Those expenses shall be the obligation of the Holder or Beneficial Owner.
A-1-4
(8) Repurchase at Option of Holder.
(a) If a Change of Control, occurs, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(b) If Xxxx Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries consummate any Asset Sales, within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or (ii) the date when the proceeds of any sale of assets are required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas, Xxxx Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of the Excess Proceeds, determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”), to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.10 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Proceeds less the Asset Sale Offer Amount (the “Asset Sale Repayment Amount”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Asset Sale Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment, such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Asset Sale Offer Amount and offered to the holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Asset Sale Offer from Xxxx Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.
(c) If Xxxx Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries experiences an Event of Loss with respect to Collateral (other than Events of Loss with respect to Collateral comprising Encore at Xxxx Las Vegas, if applicable, at any time prior to the completion of construction of Encore at Xxxx Las Vegas), within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $500.0 million or (ii) the date when, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Excess Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas, Xxxx Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of such Excess Loss Proceeds determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Loss Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then
A-1-5
outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “Event of Loss Offer Amount”), to make an offer (an “Event of Loss Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.16 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Loss Proceeds less the Event of Loss Offer Amount (the “Event of Loss Repayment Amount”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Event of Loss Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment but does not exceed $100.0 million (unless the lenders under the Credit Agreement have waived any requirement of Xxxx Las Vegas to prepay revolving credit Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to effect a corresponding permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Event of Loss Offer Amount and offered to the Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer as provided in the previous sentence above. Any Event of Loss Offer made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes or the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes shall be required to be made to the Holders of Notes as holders of Pari Passu Debt (as defined in those indentures). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Event of Loss Offer from Xxxx Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.
(9) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
(10) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

A-1-7

A-1-8
discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (viii) any event of default under any of the Collateral Documents or any of the Collateral Documents shall cease, for any reason (other than pursuant to their terms), to be in full force and effect, or Wynn Capital, Xxxx Las Vegas, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any such Person or any Person acting on behalf of any such Person, shall so assert as to any of such Person’s properties or assets, or any security interest created, or purported to be created, by any of the Collateral Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created by the Collateral Documents; (ix) any material representation or warranty made or deemed made by Wynn Capital, Xxxx Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any Collateral Document or that is contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished by it at any time under or in connection with any such Collateral Document shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; provided that the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained only in the Disbursement Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture only to the extent such inaccuracy constitutes an event of default under a Disbursement Agreement; (x) except as expressly provided therein or by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee issued by a Significant Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Person, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Note Guarantee; (xi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to (a) either Issuer, (b) any Significant Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas or (c) any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas; (xii) the revocation, termination, suspension or other cessation of effectiveness of any Gaming License which results in the cessation or suspension of gaming operations at any Gaming Facility for a period of more than 90 consecutive days; or (xiii) if Xxxx Las Vegas ever fails to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Xxxx Capital.
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to (a) either Issuer, (b) any Significant Restricted Subsidiary of Xxxx Las Vegas or (c) any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas that, taken together, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and in the other Collateral Documents. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required
A-1-9
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
(14) Intercreditor Agreement. The Indenture authorizes the Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of itself and the Holders of the Notes. The Intercreditor Agreement will restrict the ability of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to exercise certain rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will have the right, subject to certain limited exceptions, to direct the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments of, or waive defaults under, the Collateral Documents that grant Liens on the Collateral without obtaining consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. At any time when at least $100.0 million in Indebtedness remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will also have the right to amend the Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, so long as such amendment only affects the subordination provisions in respect of any junior Indebtedness but does not affect the provisions governing the relationship between the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Holders of the Notes.
(15) Trustee Dealings with Issuers. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.
(16) No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
(17) Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
(18) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
(19) Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture,
A-1-10
Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 2012, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Issuers and the Guarantors to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
(20) Governing Law. THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 4-1401 OF THE NEW YORK OBLIGATIONS LAW.
(21) CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
The Issuers shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Collateral Documents. Requests may be made to:

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1) Interest. Xxxx Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Xxxx Las Vegas”) and Xxxx Las Vegas Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Wynn Capital,” and together with Xxxx Las Vegas, the “Issuers”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.375% per annum from March 12, 2012 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2012. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchanged for one or more Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Notes under the Indenture.
(2) Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such
A-2-2
Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
(4) Indenture and Collateral Documents. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Issuers. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a grant of a security interest in Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes (other than Exchange Notes) issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “Additional Notes.” The term “Notes” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.
(5) Optional Redemption.
(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuers shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to March 15, 2017. On or after March 15, 2017, the Issuers shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:

Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(b) If Xxxx Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries consummate any Asset Sales, within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or (ii) the date when the proceeds of any sale of assets are required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Xxxx Las Vegas, Xxxx Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of the Excess Proceeds, determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “Asset Sale Offer Amount”), to make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.10 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Proceeds less the Asset Sale Offer Amount (the “Asset Sale Repayment Amount”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Asset Sale Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment, such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Asset Sale Offer Amount and offered to the holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer as provided in the preceding sentence.

The amount of any such Excess Loss Proceeds less the Event of Loss Offer Amount (the “Event of Loss Repayment Amount”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Event of Loss Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment but does not exceed $100.0 million (unless the lenders under the Credit Agreement have waived any requirement of Xxxx Las Vegas to prepay revolving credit Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to effect a corresponding permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Event of Loss Offer Amount and offered to the Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer as provided in the previous sentence above. Any Event of Loss Offer made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes or the 7 3/4% 2020 Notes shall be required to be made to the Holders of Notes, as holders of Pari Passu Debt (as defined in those indentures). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Event of Loss Offer from Xxxx Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.
(9) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
A-2-6
(10) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to (a) either Issuer, (b) any Significant Restricted Subsidiary of
A-2-9
Xxxx Las Vegas or (c) any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas that, taken together, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and in the other Collateral Documents. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
(14) Intercreditor Agreement. The Indenture authorizes the Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of itself and the Holders of the Notes. The Intercreditor Agreement will restrict the ability of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to exercise certain rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will have the right, subject to certain limited exceptions, to direct the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments of, or waive defaults under, the Collateral Documents that grant Liens on the Collateral without obtaining consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. At any time when at least $100.0 million in Indebtedness remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will also have the right to amend the Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, so long as such amendment only affects the subordination provisions in respect of any junior Indebtedness but does not affect the provisions governing the relationship between the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Holders of the Notes.
(15) Trustee Dealings with Issuers. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.
(16) No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Xxxx Las Vegas or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for
A-2-10
any obligations of either Issuer, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
(17) Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
(18) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
(19) Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 2012, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Issuers and the Guarantors to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
(20) Governing Law. THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 4-1401 OF THE NEW YORK OBLIGATIONS LAW.
(21) CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
The Issuers shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Collateral Documents. Requests may be made to:
