2. Call Right in Favor of Propco.
(a) Call Right. At any time, Propco shall have the right to exercise the Call Right in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.
(b) Property Package Request and Requirements. As a condition to exercising the Call Right, on or prior to the expiration of the Propco Election Period, Propco shall deliver to Owner (i) a notice of Propco’s intention to exercise the Call Right, (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Owner of Propco’s ability to finance the exercise of the Call Right (provided, that if Propco’s net leverage at such time of request is less than 10 to 1 (with net leverage being defined as the ratio of (1) funded debt minus unrestricted cash to (2) EBITDAR for the last four (4) fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, in each case of Propco and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) then Propco shall be deemed to have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Owner) and (iii) a request for the Property Package from Owner (collectively, the “Property Package Request”). As promptly as practicable after receipt of the Property Package Request, but in no event later than the date occurring sixty (60) days after Owner’s receipt of the Property Package Request, Owner shall provide to Propco either (x) a Notice of Impermissibility or (y) a package of information (the “Property Package”), which shall set forth all material information with respect to the Property and the Call Right including, without limitation, the following:
(i) the material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price and the proposed Closing Date;
(ii) an initial draft of a sale and assignment agreement in customary form for purchases of properties such as the Owned Property and Lease Improvements and for assignment of ground leases such as the Ground Lease, including customary representations and warranties (the “Sale and Assignment Agreement”);
(iii) a summary of material changes in and developments with respect to the Property since the date of this Agreement (including any material revisions and/or updates to the information set forth on Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto);
(iv) due diligence materials of a type that would customarily be provided to a purchaser of properties such as the Property (if and to the extent Owner has access to such materials at the time the Property Package Request was received or can procure such materials through the use of commercially reasonable efforts during such 60-day period), including in any event the most recent available title report, environmental reports, current tax status and any assessments owed, and information regarding any known litigation or judgment (collectively, the “Diligence Materials”);
(v) an initial draft of the Property Lease, which Property Lease shall comply with the terms of this Agreement;
7
(vi) a description of any regulatory approvals that would be required in connection with the exercise of the Call Right and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; and
(vii) a detailed explanation of the computation of the proposed Purchase Price and the Property Lease Rent.
Promptly upon Owner’s or Propco’s reasonable request therefor, Propco or Owner, as applicable, shall provide to Owner or Propco, as applicable, additional information reasonably related to the Call Right, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Propco or Owner, as applicable. Propco agrees to cooperate with Owner and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide information regarding Propco (and its officers and Affiliates) that is reasonably requested by Owner to Owner in connection with Owner’s preparation of the Property Package (including, without limitation, providing any information necessary to aid Owner in determining the regulatory approvals applicable to Propco and the Call Right).
(c) Call Right Deadline. If Propco does not deliver a Property Package Request to Owner in accordance with the above prior to the expiration of the Propco Election Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to the Property on the expiration of such period.
(d) Impermissible Transactions.
(i) If within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Property Package Request, Owner in good faith determines that (after having used commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such circumstances), either (1) the Property is (and will be) subject to a Debt Limitation that cannot be waived or otherwise amended in a manner that would permit the exercise of the Call Right, (2) the consummation of the Call Right will (in Owner’s good faith opinion) not be approved by the applicable Gaming Authorities (or will otherwise not comply with applicable laws and regulations), or (3) the Property is not (and will not be) for any other reason able to be timely delivered pursuant to the exercise of the Call Right (including due to the failure of Landlord and the City Council (each as defined in the Ground Lease) to consent to the assignment of the Ground Lease to Propco) (any such event or circumstance being referred to as an “Impermissible Transaction”), then Owner shall notify Propco thereof within such 60-day period (such notice, a “Notice of Impermissibility”). Any Notice of Impermissibility shall specify the actions taken by Owner in determining whether the exercise of the Call Right would be an Impermissible Transaction, a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to such determination, and the commercially reasonable efforts undertaken to resolve such circumstances. In the event that Owner delivers a Notice of Impermissibility, Owner may simultaneously with the delivery thereof propose in good faith one or more replacement properties and the material transaction terms for the purchase and lease of such properties (the “Owner Proposal”). If Owner makes an Owner Proposal, Propco shall make a commercially reasonable determination of whether the Owner Proposal constitutes a Qualifying Proposal. If the Owner Proposal is a Qualifying Proposal, the Parties shall proceed with the transaction reflected in the Owner Proposal on the terms otherwise set forth herein. If
8
Owner does not, simultaneously with the Notice of Impermissibility, make an Owner Proposal, or makes an Owner Proposal that is not a Qualifying Proposal, then Section 2(d)(ii) below shall apply. Any dispute as to whether the exercise of the Call Right would be an Impermissible Transaction, or whether an Owner Proposal is a Qualifying Proposal, shall be resolved pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof.
(ii) In the event that the exercise of the Call Right would be an Impermissible Transaction (whether by agreement of the Parties or following resolution pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof), and the Parties are not proceeding with a Qualifying Proposal, then the following shall apply:
1. If the exercise of the Call Right would be an Impermissible Transaction due to a Debt Limitation, then Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such Debt Limitation in accordance with Section 2(h) below and will continue to use such efforts until the expiration of the period that is one (1) year after the date of the delivery of the Property Package Request with respect to the Property (such date, the “Debt Limitation Resolution Deadline”). If such Debt Limitation is not resolved upon or before the Debt Limitation Resolution Deadline, then Owner shall pay to Propco, five (5) business days after the Debt Limitation Resolution Deadline, an amount in cash equal to the Value Loss Amount, provided, that if (1) the applicable Debt Limitation is contained in an agreement as to which any member of the Designated Propco Group is a party, (2) such member of the Designated Propco Group has been requested in writing no later than sixty (60) days prior to the Debt Limitation Resolution Deadline to waive or modify the Debt Limitation in a manner that, upon such waiver or modification by such member (and any other members of the Designated Propco Group party to such agreement), would enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, (3) the requested waiver or modification is limited to one or more covenant(s) that would otherwise prohibit the sale of the Property under and pursuant to the terms contained in this Agreement, and such requested waiver or modification operates only to permit the sale of the Property under and pursuant to the terms contained in this Agreement (and does not otherwise waive or modify the agreement in which the applicable Debt Limitation is contained); and (4) such member of the Designated Propco Group has failed to provide such waiver or modification, then in such circumstance, Owner shall have no obligation to pay the Value Loss Amount. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing proviso does not require any member of the Designated Propco Group to agree to any other amendment or waiver under such agreement other than with respect to the Debt Limitation.
2. If the exercise of the Call Right would be an Impermissible Transaction due to any other reason other than a Debt Limitation (including a Gaming Approval Failure or a failure of the Landlord or the City Council (each as defined in the Ground Lease) to consent to the assignment of the Ground Lease to Propco), then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such
9
issue (including, in the case of a Gaming Approval Failure, in accordance with Section 2(g) below), and will continue to use such efforts until the expiration of the period that is one (1) year after the date of the delivery of the Property Package Request with respect to the Property, which such date may be extended by Propco but not beyond the expiration of the Propco Election Period (the “Gaming Resolution Deadline”); provided, that if after one (1) year after the date of delivery of the Property Package Request such issue has not been resolved and the Parties determine that there is no reasonable chance that such issue will be resolved beyond such period, such date of determination will be the Gaming Resolution Deadline. If the applicable issue giving rise to the Impermissible Transaction is not resolved by the Gaming Resolution Deadline, then the provisions of Section 2(j) below regarding an Alternative Transaction shall apply. If there is a dispute between the Parties regarding whether there is a reasonable chance of the applicable issue being resolved pursuant to the proviso in the second preceding sentence, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof. If it is determined by the Arbitration Panel that the applicable issue has a reasonable chance of being resolved, the Gaming Resolution Deadline will not occur at such time and this subparagraph 2 will continue to apply. If it is determined by the Arbitration Panel that the applicable issue does not have a reasonable chance of being resolved, then the Gaming Resolution Deadline will occur at such time and the provisions of Section 2(j) below regarding an Alternative Transaction shall apply.
(e) Delivery of Property Package. If a Property Package is delivered and Propco, after reviewing the Property Package, still wishes to exercise the Call Right but Propco either (1) disagrees with Owner’s computation of the Purchase Price or the Property Lease Rent or (2) has comments or revisions to the draft Property Lease or Sale and Assignment Agreement or to any other terms of the transaction (including requiring additional documentation) that are commercially reasonable, Propco shall notify Owner thereof within twenty (20) days of Propco’s receipt of the Property Package. In such event, Owner and Propco shall negotiate in good faith up to a period of sixty (60) days in an effort to reconcile the applicable issue. If Owner and Propco are unable to resolve the subject dispute, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof.
(f) Finalization of Call Right Documents. If the Property Package is delivered, and (if applicable) any disputes under Section 2(d) above have been resolved, if Propco still wishes to exercise the Call Right, Propco shall exercise the Call Right by notice thereof to Owner (the “Election Notice”), and Owner and Propco shall proceed with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Call Right and shall cooperate to structure a transaction upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and consistent with the Property Package. In furtherance of the foregoing, Owner and Propco shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, for a period of ninety (90) days following the date on which Propco delivers the Election Notice (the “Discussion Period”), to negotiate and enter into (i) a Sale and Assignment Agreement and conveyance and ancillary documents with respect to the Property and (ii) a Property Lease with respect to the Property and (iii) all other documents that may be necessary for the subject Call Right to be exercised. The Property Lease shall provide
10
for the following: (a) the date the Property Lease Rent becomes payable shall be the date that is concurrent with the acquisition of the Property; (b) from and after such date, rent shall be equal to the Property Lease Rent; and (c) such other terms and conditions as Owner and Propco may agree upon, with both Owner and Propco being obligated to act in a commercially reasonable manner. If, despite the good faith, commercially reasonable efforts of Propco and Owner, the Parties are unable to reach agreement and execute the Sale and Assignment Agreement (with a Property Lease attached thereto as an exhibit, which Property Lease shall be executed upon the consummation of the closing under the Sale and Assignment Agreement) or other applicable documents prior to the expiration of the Discussion Period, then, upon the expiration of the Discussion Period, the terms and conditions in any such documents that remain unresolved shall be established pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof.
(g) Gaming Approvals. If, within two hundred seventy (270) days (or such longer time as may be agreed between Owner and Propco) after the finalization and execution of the Sale and Assignment Agreement and the other definitive documents relating to the Call Right (the “Regulatory Period”), any necessary licenses, qualifications and approvals from applicable Gaming Authorities required for the exercise of the Call Right and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Requisite Gaming Approvals”) have not been obtained (such event, a “Gaming Approval Failure”), then (i) the Parties shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to implement the Alternative Transaction (as provided in Section 2(j) below) and (ii) if upon the expiration of the Propco Election Period (or, if later, the date that is fifteen months following the date on which the process to implement the Alternative Transaction commences) (the period from the commencement of the process to implement the Alternative Transaction through such applicable date, the “Alternative Transaction Period”), notwithstanding the use of good faith, commercially reasonable efforts by the Parties throughout such period, the Alternative Transaction has not been consummated, this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Owner is obligated to use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to timely obtain the Requisite Gaming Approvals, and Propco is obligated to use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to timely obtain such items. If there is a dispute among the Parties as to whether good faith, commercially reasonable efforts were used by Owner or Propco throughout the Regulatory Period, or the Alternative Transaction Period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof. If it is determined by the Arbitration Panel that Owner did not use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts throughout the Regulatory Period or the Alternative Transaction Period, then Owner shall pay to Propco the Value Loss Amount within sixty (60) days after such determination.
(h) Debt Limitations. In the event a Debt Limitation limits the exercise of the Call Right by Propco at any time, Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers or amendments under the applicable debt agreements to waive the Debt Limitation or refinance such applicable debt in order to permit the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Call Right. In addition, with respect to any debt agreements applicable to the Property that are amended, restated, supplemented or entered into after the date hereof, Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Debt Limitations shall be applicable to the Property thereafter.
11
(i) Closing. The closing of the Call Right transaction shall occur as soon as possible after the Election Notice and resolution of all matters set forth in this Section 2 and in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Assignment Agreement (and any other documents governing the transaction, as contemplated by this Section 2). In the event that a Call Right transaction fails to close as aforesaid (other than as described in the following sentence), either Propco or Owner shall have the right to submit the subject matter to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that if the Sale and Assignment Agreement has been executed between the Parties, the terms and conditions of such Sale and Assignment Agreement shall govern any dispute between the Parties from and after such execution rather than the arbitration procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof. In the event that a Call Right transaction fails to close as a result of Propco’s inability to finance the acquisition of the Property on the terms contemplated hereunder, this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to the Property at such time.
(j) Alternative Transaction. Upon the earliest to occur of (1) a Gaming Approval Failure after the completion of the Regulatory Period, (2) the commencement of an Alternative Transaction process pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii)(2) above and (3) the commencement of an Alternative Transaction process pursuant to Section 4(l)(i) below, then upon any such occurrence, Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Property as promptly as practicable to an alternative purchaser (an “Alternative Transaction”) (i) for the then fair market value of the Property but in any event for no less than the Purchase Price that would otherwise be determined in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) otherwise on terms consistent with the terms of a Call Right transaction contemplated hereunder (including the lease back of the Property to the Lessee under the terms of the Property Lease and for the Property Lease Rent). Owner and Propco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate the marketing of the Property in connection with any Alternative Transaction, including (i) the selection of a financial advisor reasonably acceptable to both Owner and Propco and (ii) the appointment of an observer selected by Propco to monitor the marketing process. Upon the closing of any Alternative Transaction, the net cash proceeds of the sale of the Property will be allocated (i) first, to Owner in an amount not to exceed the Purchase Price that would otherwise be determined in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) any excess of such amount, to Propco (subject to any necessary approvals from applicable Gaming Authorities required for Owner to pay, and Propco to receive, such funds). If an Alternative Transaction is launched to the market but ultimately not consummated, notwithstanding the good faith, commercially reasonable efforts of the Parties during the Alternative Transaction Period, then, if there is sufficient time remaining in the Alternative Transaction Period to launch a subsequent Alternative Transaction to the market, and Propco reasonably believes that a subsequent Alternative Transaction has a reasonable chance of being consummated, taking into account changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to such subsequent Alternative Transaction until the expiration of the Alternative Transaction Period. If there is a dispute between the Parties regarding whether a subsequent Alternative Transaction has a reasonable chance of being consummated, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof. If it is determined by the Arbitration Panel that a subsequent Alternative Transaction does not have a reasonable chance of being consummated, the Agreement shall terminate upon such determination. If it is determined by the Arbitration Panel that a subsequent Alternative Transaction does have a reasonable chance of being consummated, the provisions of this Section 2(j) shall apply.
12
3. Arbitration.
(a) Arbitrator Qualifications.
