Summary of terms and conditions
Terms defined in this Section 3 "Summary of terms and conditions" are defined for purposes of this Section 3 "Summary of terms and conditions" only and meanings attributable to such defined terms should not be applied to capitalized terms used elsewhere in this Memorandum
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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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. |
||
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"). |
||
17
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 Borrower. |
|||
Scope Changes |
The Borrower shall agree that, as a condition to the approval of any change orders that will increase the anticipated costs of the Project, the Borrower shall fund the proceeds of equity contributions made to the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower's performance of the Completion Obligations and, after the Completion Date, will be available to meet the Borrower's working capital needs. None of the Borrower'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 Borrower 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. |
||
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 Borrower 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"). |
||
The Construction Contract Guarantee will guarantee all of the General Contractor's obligations under and in accordance with the Construction Contract but will be unsecured. |
|||
Disbursement Agreement |
The Agent, the agent on the FF&E Facility, the indenture trustee for the Second Mortgage Notes, the Borrower and the Disbursement Agent will enter into a disbursement agreement which will establish the sequence of funding and will include, among other things, the conditions to every advance of funds. |

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. |
||
Maturity |
Seven years after the closing 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"); provided the Term Loan Facility shall be fully drawn prior to the making of any Revolving Credit Loans. |
||
Letters of Credit |
A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $25.0 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 Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) on the same business day. To the extent that the Borrower 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. |
|||
20
Swing Line Loans |
From and after substantial completion of the Project, a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $10.0 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 $100.0 million, the Initial 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. 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 |
Six years after the closing 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 Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries. |
||

||
21

||
(v) |
75% of excess cash flow (to be defined in a mutually satisfactory manner) for each fiscal year of the Borrower (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 Borrower 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 Borrower achieves 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.

Voting rights of participants shall be limited to those matters with respect to which the affirmative vote of the Senior Lender from which it purchased its participation would be required as described under "Voting" above. Pledges of Loans to federal governmental agencies in accordance with applicable law shall be permitted without restriction. Promissory notes shall be issued under the Credit Facilities only upon request. |

The Credit Facilities will provide for a mechanism which will allow each assignee to become a direct signatory to the Credit Facilities and will relieve the assigning Senior Lender of its obligations with respect to the assigned portion of its Loans and/or commitments. |

Yield Protection |
The Credit Documentation shall contain customary provisions (i) protecting the Senior Lenders against increased costs or loss of yield resulting from changes after the effective date in reserve, tax, capital adequacy and other requirements of law and from the imposition of or changes in withholding or other taxes and (ii) indemnifying the Senior Lenders for "breakage costs" incurred in connection with, among other things, any prepayment of a Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Loan (as defined in Annex A-I) on a day other than the last day of an interest period with respect thereto. |
