("BofA"), Banc of America Securities LLC, as joint advisor, joint book-running manager, joint lead arranger and sole syndication agent ("BofA Securities"), Bear Xxxxxxx Corporate Lending, Inc., as documentation agent ("BSCL"), and Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc., as joint advisor, joint book-running manager and arranger ("Bear" and, together with DBSI and BofA Securities, the "Arrangers", and, together with the Agent, DBSI, BofA, BofA Securities and BSCL, the "Participating Institutions"), Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, LLC ("Valvino"), Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC ("Wynn, LLC"), and Xxxx Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed financing for the development and construction of a casino/resort planned to include more than 2,500 hotel rooms, more than 100,000 square feet of gaming space, an approximately 130 acre newly designed golf course and various other amenities (the "Project") for approximately $2.45 billion on the site of the old Desert Inn located in Las Vegas, Nevada. References in this Commitment Letter to "we", "our" and "us" refer, collectively, to the Participating Institutions.
You have advised us that the total funds needed to finance the development and construction of the Project (including fees and expenses) will be approximately $2.45 billion and that such funds will be provided from the following sources: (1) $747.0 million of borrowings by the Company under a $750.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and $250.0 million of borrowings by the Company under a $250.0 million Delay Draw Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan Facility" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities") among the Participating Institutions and the financial institutions party thereto, (2) the issuance by the Company of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Mortgage Notes (the "Second Mortgage Notes") with a maturity date at least one year beyond the maturity of the Credit Facilities, (3) $150.0 million of borrowings by the Company under a $150.0 million FF&E Facility (the "FF&E Facility"), (4) at least $413.0 million of common equity contributed, directly or indirectly, to the Company in cash and property by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, Aruze USA, Inc. and Baron Asset Fund (collectively, the "Members") prior to the date of this Commitment Letter, (5) at least $355.0 million of common equity to be contributed, directly or indirectly, to the Company in cash by Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation ("Wynn Resorts"), which will be the parent company of Valvino, from the proceeds of an initial public offering of common stock by Wynn Resorts (the "IPO"), (6) approximately $175.0 million of existing cash balances of the Company and amounts to be contributed thereto by certain affiliates,
(7) approximately $25.0 million in projected interest income and (8) approximately $28.5 million in loans secured by an aircraft mortgage on a Bombadier Global Express aircraft.
You have further advised us that prior to the effective date of the Credit Facilities, (1) the Company will be converted from a Nevada limited liability company to a Nevada corporation (unless such conversion would have materially adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of its equity holders) and (2) the Members will contribute all of their equity interests in Valvino to Wynn Resorts in consideration for the issuance by Wynn Resorts to the Members of shares of Wynn Resort's common stock, that Valvino will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, and the Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts.
In addition, pursuant to an Engagement Letter (the "Engagement Letter") entered into between us and you, you retained DBSI, BofA Securities and Bear to act as the co-financial advisors, joint book-running managers and/or joint book-running placement agents for the Company and its affiliates in connection with the issuance of the Securities (as defined in the Engagement Letter) by Wynn Resorts, the Company and the other persons identified therein.
1. The Commitments.
(a) You have requested (i) that the Agent, BofA and BSCL (collectively with each other financial institution that becomes a lender under the Credit Facilities, the "Senior Lenders") commit to provide the entire amount of the Credit Facilities upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter, in the Summary of Terms of Credit Facilities attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Term Sheet") and in the closing conditions attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 (the "Closing Conditions") and the funding conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the "Funding Conditions").
(b) Based on the foregoing, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) the Agent is pleased to confirm by this Commitment Letter its commitment to you to provide or cause one of its affiliates to provide one-third of the amount of the Credit Facilities, (ii) BofA is pleased to confirm by this Commitment Letter its commitment to you to provide or cause one of its affiliates to provide one-third of the amount of the Credit Facilities and (iii) BSCL is pleased to confirm by this Commitment Letter its commitment to you to provide or cause one of its affiliates to provide one-third of the amount of the Credit Facilities (the aggregate commitment of the Agent, BofA and BSCL for the entire amount of the Credit Facilities, the "Commitment").
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter, the Engagement Letter or otherwise, in the event that (a) DBSI and the Agent (but not BofA Securities, BofA, BSCL or Bear) Terminate this Commitment Letter, this Commitment Letter shall be terminated only as to DBSI and the Agent, and shall remain in full force and effect as between you and BofA Securities, BofA, BSCL and Bear, (b) BofA Securities and BofA (but not DBSI, the Agent, BSCL or Bear) Terminate their obligations under this Commitment Letter, this Commitment Letter shall be terminated only as to BofA Securities and BofA, and shall remain in full force and effect as between you and DBSI, the Agent, BSCL and Bear or (c) BSCL and Bear (but not DBSI, the Agent, BofA Securities or BofA) Terminate their obligations under this Commitment Letter, this Commitment Letter shall be terminated only as to BSCL and Bear, and shall remain in full force and effect as between you and DBSI, the Agent, BofA Securities and BofA. For purposes of this Commitment Letter, "Terminate"means, with respect to any Person, that such Person asserts in writing that it is unwilling or unable to provide, or otherwise terminates in writing, its Commitment prior to the execution of definitive documentation for the Credit Facilities. "Terminates" and "Termination" shall have the correlative meanings.
(d) In the event of a Termination by BofA and BofA Securities, DBSI and the Agent or BSCL and Bear, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (c) above, the non-terminating Participating Institutions shall have the right, but not the obligation, in their sole discretion to assume the
2
Commitment and all of the other rights, duties and obligations of the terminating Participating Institutions under this Commitment Letter; providedthat in the event of a Termination by BofA and BofA Securities, DBSI and the Agent or BSCL and Bear, as the case may be, the Commitment of the non-terminating Participating Institutions shall remain in full force and effect, subject to the terms and conditions of this Commitment Letter, so long as by the Commitment Expiration Date you shall have caused a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the non-terminating Participating Institutions to commit to you to provide the amount of the Credit Facilities equal to the terminated Commitment and all of the other rights, duties and obligations of the terminating Participating Institutions under this Commitment Letter, in each case on the same terms and conditions of such terminated Commitment. For purposes of clarification, if, in the event of a Termination by BofA and BofA Securities, DBSI and the Agent or BSCL and Bear, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (c) above, the provisions of Section 1(g) of the Fee Letter (as defined below) (such provisions, the "Other Financings Provisions") would cease to be applicable to the terminating Participating Institutions, the Other Financings Provisions would not cease to be applicable to the non-terminating Participating Institutions solely as a result of such Termination.
(e) It is agreed that (i) DBSI will act as joint advisor, joint book-running manager and joint lead arranger for the Credit Facilities, (ii) that the Agent will act as the sole and exclusive Administrative Agent for the Credit Facilities, (iii) that BofA Securities will act as joint advisor, joint book-running manager and joint lead arranger and as the sole and exclusive Syndication Agent for the Credit Facilities, (iv) that Bear will act as joint advisor, joint book-running manager and arranger for the Credit Facilities and (v) BSCL will act as documentation agent for the Credit Facilities. Each of DBSI, the Agent, BofA Securities and Bear will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in its respective role. You agree that no other agents, joint agents, arrangers or book managers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet or the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree. You also agree that no other managers, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation will be paid in connection with the issuance of Securities pursuant to the Engagement Letter unless you and we shall so agree.
(f) The commitments and agreements of the Participating Institutions described herein are subject to the execution of the Engagement Letter and the negotiation, execution and delivery on or before September 30, 2002 of definitive documentation with respect to the Credit Facilities, satisfactory to the Participating Institutions and their counsel and to satisfaction of the other conditions set forth or referred to in the Term Sheet and the Closing Conditions (the date on which such conditions are satisfied, the "Closing Date"). The terms and conditions of such commitments hereunder and of the Credit Facilities are not limited to those set forth herein and in the Term Sheet; those matters that are not covered by the provisions hereof or of the Term Sheet shall be consistent with the Term Sheet and shall be subject to the approval and agreement of the applicable Senior Lenders and the Company.
2. Fees and Expenses. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter by the Participating Institutions, you agree to pay the fees and expenses set forth in Annex A-I to the Term Sheet and in the Amended and Restated Credit Facilities Fee Letter among the Participating Institutions and you dated the date hereof (the "Fee Letter").
3. Indemnification.
(a) You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Participating Institutions, the other Senior Lenders and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, advisors, agents, attorneys, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (each, an "indemnified person") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising
3
out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Credit Facilities, the use of the proceeds therefrom, the development, construction and operation of the Project, any of the other transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, any other transaction related hereto or thereto or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party hereto or thereto, and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein); provided, however, that no indemnified person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent that it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person. In no event will any indemnified person be liable for consequential, special or punitive damages as a result of any failure to fund any of the Credit Facilities contemplated hereby or otherwise in connection with the Credit Facilities; and provided, further, that any such matters relating to the Second Mortgage Notes or the IPO shall be addressed by the Engagement Letter. No indemnified person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons.
(b) You further agree that, without the prior written consent of the Participating Institutions, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, you will not enter into any settlement of a lawsuit, claim or other proceeding arising out of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of all indemnified persons. No indemnified person seeking reimbursement pursuant to the foregoing indemnity will, without your prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding for which indemnity is afforded hereunder unless such indemnified person reasonably believes that the matter in question involves potential criminal liability or that failure to do so reasonably could have a material adverse effect on such person or its affiliates.
(c) The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall be in addition to any rights that the Participating Institutions or any other indemnified person shall have at common law, or in equity or otherwise.
4. Expiration of Commitment. The Commitment shall expire at 11:30 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2002, unless at or prior to such time you shall previously have executed and returned to the Agent, BofA and Bear a copy of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. If you do execute and deliver to the Agent, BofA and Bear this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, the Agent, BofA and Bear agree to hold the Commitment available for you until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 15, 2002. The date and time of expiration of the Commitment is sometimes referred to herein as the "Commitment Expiration Date."

6. Assignment and Syndication.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Participating Institutions shall have the right to syndicate the Credit Facilities and/or the Commitment to a group of financial institutions or other investors, identified by us in consultation with you. The Participating Institutions shall manage all aspects of any such syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered, the amounts allocated and the compensation provided, and you agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist each of the Participating Institutions in such syndication process, including, without limitation, (i) ensuring that the syndication efforts benefit materially from the existing lending relationships of the Company and its affiliates, (ii) arranging for direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Company and its affiliates and the proposed Senior Lenders, (iii) assisting in the preparation of Confidential Information Memoranda and other marketing materials to be used in connection with any syndication, including causing such Confidential Information Memoranda to conform to market standards as reasonably determined by the Participating Institutions and (iv) hosting, with the Participating Institutions, meetings of prospective Senior Lenders and, in connection with such Senior Lender meetings, consulting with the Participating Institutions with respect to the presentations to be made at such meetings, and making available appropriate officers and representatives to rehearse such presentations prior to such meetings, as reasonably requested by the Participating Institutions. You also agree that, at your expense, you will work with the Participating Institutions to procure a rating for the Credit Facilities by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group.
(b) To assist the Participating Institutions in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Participating Institutions all information with respect to the Project, the Company and its affiliates and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the "Projections"), as they may reasonably request. You hereby represent, warrant and covenant that (i) all information other than the Projections (the "Information") that has been or will be made available to the Participating Institutions by you or any of your representatives, as supplemented from time to time prior to the Closing Date, is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, as so supplemented, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Participating Institutions by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions, it being recognized by the Senior Lenders that the Projections are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Credit Facilities we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof and that you will promptly notify us of any changes in circumstances that could be expected to call into question the continued reasonableness of any assumption underlying the Projections.
(c) To ensure an orderly and effective syndication of the Credit Facilities, you agree that, from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of the syndication as determined by the Arrangers and 90 days following the Closing Date, you will not, and will not permit any of your affiliates to, syndicate

The parties recognize that in connection with Wynn Resorts' potential investment in, and financing of, a casino project in Macau, The Peoples Republic of China, it may become necessary for Wynn Resorts to approach and discuss such project with offshore investors and financial institutions, and each of the Participating Institutions agrees that Wynn Resorts shall be permitted to undertake such discussions so long as the same are properly coordinated with the Participating Institutions so as to prevent, to the Participating Institutions' reasonable satisfaction, material interference with the syndication of the Credit Facilities.
7. Company to reaffirm its Obligations.

EXHIBIT A TO COMMITMENT LETTER
SUMMARY OF TERMS OF CREDIT FACILITIES
Set forth below is a summary of certain of the terms of the Credit Facilities and the documentation related thereto. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Commitment Letter to which this Summary of Terms is attached and of which it forms a part.
I. | Project and Project Credit Support | ||
Project |
The development and construction of a casino/resort planned to include more than 2,500 hotel rooms, more than 100,000 square feet of gaming space, an approximately 130 acre newly designed golf course and various other amenities for approximately $2.45 billion on the site of the old Desert Inn Resort & Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the "Project"). |
||
Construction Arrangements |
The Company will enter into a construction contract with Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Associates, Inc. (the "General Contractor") to construct predominantly all of the improvements involved in the Project (excluding furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure and the golf course). The construction contract shall commit the General Contractor to complete such construction by the Completion Date described below for a guaranteed maximum price no greater than $902 million, and will include an unallocated contingency of at least $45.0 million (such contract being hereafter referred to as the "Construction Contract"). The Company also will enter into separate construction contracts with other contractors for the parking structure and the golf course, each of which also shall call for completion by the Completion Date for a guaranteed maximum price no greater than a specified sum (which, in the case of the parking structure, shall not exceed $11.5 million and in the case of the golf course shall not exceed $22.5 million). |
||
Commencement Date |
Construction of the Project is expected to begin concurrently with the Closing Date, which is expected to be on or around September 30, 2002. |
||
Completion Date |
The date on which completion and the "Opening" (to be mutually agreed upon and defined in the Disbursement Agreement) of the Project has occurred shall be hereafter referred to as the "Completion Date". |
||
Anticipated Completion Date |
The anticipated Completion Date is expected to be on or around March, 2005. |
||
10
Completion Guarantee |
The completion guarantee (the "Completion Guarantee") will be provided by a special purpose entity (the "Completion Guarantor"). The Completion Guarantee shall assure completion of the Project, which shall include completion in full of the construction of the Project (including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure and the golf course), availability of the initial working capital contemplated in the budget, receipt of all permits and licenses necessary to open and operate the Project and the presence of trained staff to achieve the Completion Date (collectively, the "Completion Obligations"). |
||
The Completion Guarantee will be capped at $50.0 million and will be (i) cash collateralized by a first priority security interest in an interest-bearing account holding at least $50.0 million in cash or other permitted investments, or (ii) secured by a letter of credit with a face amount of at least $50.0 million or other collateral of equivalent quality and liquidity acceptable to the Senior Lenders. On the Completion Date, the completion guarantee will be released and any remaining amount of the collateral security therefore shall be released to or as directed by the Company. |
|||
Scope Changes |
The Company shall agree that, as a condition to the approval of any change orders that will increase the anticipated costs of the Project, the Company shall fund the proceeds of equity contributions made to the Company into an account pledged to the Senior Lenders in an amount equal to the anticipated cost of such change orders, which amounts so funded shall be applied toward such anticipated increased costs. |
||
Project Liquidity Reserve |
The Company or a special purpose affiliate thereof (the "Liquidity Reserve Provider") will establish a securities account subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Senior Lenders. The account will be funded with cash or permitted investments in an amount equal to $30.0 million and will secure Company's performance of the Completion Obligations and, after the Completion Date, will be available to meet the Company's working capital needs. None of the Company's direct or indirect shareholders shall be required to commit to replenish such account after disbursement of funds therefrom. Amounts remaining in the liquidity account will be released at such time as the Company shall have met the EBITDA targets set forth in the Closing Date projections for a full fiscal year after the Completion Date of the Project. |
||
11
Payment and Performance Bond |
The General Contractor will obtain and maintain a payment and performance bond from an issuer with a size and credit rating reasonably acceptable to the Senior Lenders (the "Payment and Performance Bond") in respect of its obligations under the Construction Contract in an amount of not less than $150.0 million. Unless otherwise agreed by the Senior Lenders, the Company shall require the General Contractor to cause each subcontractor (with more than the lesser of 5% of the total construction price and $25.0 million in aggregate fees) to, upon execution of its subcontract, provide a payment and performance bond from an issuer with a size and credit rating reasonably acceptable to the Senior Lenders to secure its obligations under its respective subcontract. |
||
Construction Contract Guarantee |
The obligations of the General Contractor under the Construction Contract will be guaranteed by Austi, Inc. (the "Construction Contract Guarantee" and, together with the Completion Guarantee, the Project Liquidity Reserve and the Payment and Performance Bond, the "Project Credit Support"). |

III. |
Types and Amounts of Credit Facilities |
||
Senior Term Loan Facility |
A seven-year term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") in an aggregate principal amount equal to $250.0 million (the loans thereunder, the "Term Loans"). Prior to the Completion Date, there will be no amortization of the Term Loans. From and after the Completion Date, the Term Loans shall be repayable in quarterly installments in amounts to be agreed upon until the date that is seven years after the Closing Date. |
||
Availability |
The Term Loans shall be made in one or more drawings between the Closing Date and the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Term Loan Commitment Termination Date"). No more than one draw shall be permitted in any calendar month. No Term Loan once repaid may be reborrowed. The Term Loan commitment will expire on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. |
||
Purpose |
The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to finance the development and construction of the Project, including pre-opening costs and expenses, and to pay related fees and expenses. |
||
Revolving Credit Facility |
A six year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the "Credit Facilities") in an aggregate principal amount equal to $750.0 million (the loans thereunder, the "Revolving Credit Loans"). |
||
Availability |
The Revolving Credit Facility shall be available on a revolving basis during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the sixth anniversary thereof (the "Revolving Credit Termination Date"). |
||
Letters of Credit |
A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $25 million shall be available for the issuance of standby letters of credit (the "Letters of Credit") by one or more Senior Lenders to be selected in the syndication process (each such Senior Lender in such capacity, an "Issuing Lender"). The face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit will reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (i) one year after the date of issuance and (ii) five business days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above). |
||
Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Company (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) on the same business day. To the extent that the Company does not so reimburse the Issuing Lender, the Senior Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender on a pro rata basis. |
|||
14
Swing Line Loans |
From and after substantial completion of the Project, a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $10 million shall be available for swing line loans (the "Swing Line Loans") from the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Swing Line Lender") on same-day notice. Any such Swing Line Loans will reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Senior Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall acquire, under certain circumstances, an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in each Swing Line Loan. |
||
Optional Conversion to Term Loans |
At such time as the total extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility equal or exceed $200.0 million, the Arrangers (by majority decision) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert between $100.0 million and $400.0 million of the outstanding Revolving Loans to Term Loans under the Term Loan Facility, on the same terms and conditions as the existing Term Loans or on such other terms and conditions as are otherwise acceptable to such Arrangers and agreed to by the Company. The amount so converted on the first such conversion shall be a minimum of $100.0 million and $25.0 million increments in excess thereof, and the amount so converted on the second and each subsequent conversion shall be a minimum of $50.0 million and $25.0 million increments in excess thereof. The commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will be permanently reduced by the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans converted into Term Loans in accordance with the foregoing. |
||
Maturity |
The Revolving Credit Termination Date. |
||
Purpose |
The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used to finance the development and construction of the Project, to pay related fees and expenses (including pre-opening costs and expenses) and, following the Completion Date, for general corporate purposes of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. |
||
IV. |

Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied ratably in accordance with the then outstanding amounts thereof and may not be reborrowed. To the extent any such payments or commitment reductions would be made prior to the Completion Date, the Project must satisfy the In Balance Requirement (as defined below). |
||

Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions |
The following amounts shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans and reduce the Revolving Credit Facility: |
||

(v) 75% of excess cash flow (to be defined in a mutually satisfactory manner) for each fiscal year of the Company (commencing with the fiscal year in which the Completion Date occurs), which percentage shall be reduced to 50% for each fiscal year during which the Company achieves a total debt to EBITDA Ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 or lower. Such prepayment shall be eliminated from and after such time as the Company achieves a total debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.5 to 1.00 for a given fiscal year. |
|||
All such amounts shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans and, second, to the permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.
