JOINT CHAPTER 11 PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FOR
STATION CASINOS, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATED DEBTORS
This Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) is proposed by Station Casinos, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SCI”), FCP PropCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Propco”), and the following affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”):
· The three entities that own the existing equity interests in SCI (collectively, the “Parent Debtors”):
· FCP Holding, Inc. (owner of 74.8294% of non-voting stock in SCI);
· Fertitta Partners, LLC (owner of 25.1706% of non-voting stock in SCI); and
· FCP VoteCo, LLC (owner of 100% of voting stock in SCI);
· Four entities that are direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of SCI (collectively, the “Other Opco Debtors”):
· Northern NV Acquisitions, LLC;
· Tropicana Station, LLC;
· River Central, LLC; and
· Reno Land Holdings, LLC.
· The nine entities that comprise the “MezzCo” debtors (collectively, the “Mezzco Debtors”):
· FCP MezzCo Parent, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Parent Sub, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Borrower VII, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Borrower VI, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Borrower V, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Borrower IV, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Borrower III, LLC;
· FCP MezzCo Borrower II, LLC; and
· FCP MezzCo Borrower I, LLC.
SCI also has various other direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Non-Debtor Affiliates”) that have not filed for bankruptcy relief and have continued to operate their businesses in the ordinary course during the pendency of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. If the Plan is confirmed, certain Non-Debtor Affiliates may file for bankruptcy relief in order to effectuate certain of the transactions contemplated by, or required under, the Plan. The Debtors expect that any such filings would not affect or disrupt the ordinary course operations of the Debtors or the Non-Debtor Affiliates in any material way. This Plan contemplates certain transactions involving the Debtors and various of the Non-Debtor Affiliates, including certain asset transfers, and other transactions, as part of the implementation of the Plan (including transactions that may be implemented in connection with bankruptcy filings by certain Non-Debtor
Affiliates). For a description of those transactions, please see Article V of this Plan (“Means for Implementation of the Plan”) and the related discussion in the Disclosure Statement (as defined below). If a Person other than the Stalking Horse Bidder is the Successful Bidder, the Plan may be confirmed, and/or may become effective, in stages as to one or more Debtors as the conditions to confirmation and/or effectiveness of the Plan in respect of such Debtor(s) are satisfied.
The Debtors are the proponents of this Plan within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 1129. Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement distributed contemporaneously herewith for a discussion of the Debtors’ history, business, results of operations, historical financial information, accomplishments during the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below), projections and properties, and for a summary and analysis of this Plan. There also are other agreements and documents that are referenced in this Plan or the Disclosure Statement that are or will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan Supplement (as defined below). All such agreements or documents are incorporated into and are a part of this Plan as if set forth in full herein. Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Code section 1127 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019, the terms hereof and of the Confirmation Order, and the terms of the New Opco Purchase Agreement, the Second Amended MLCA, and any other applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw this Plan and any of the Plan Supplement documents prior to substantial consummation of the Plan.
The Plan contemplates the sale of the New Opco Acquired Assets pursuant to the Successful Bid that emerges from the Opco Auction. The Successful Bid may differ in a variety of respects from the Stalking Horse Bid. Subject to the Second Amended MLCA and any applicable Bankruptcy Court orders, to the extent the Stalking Horse Bid is not the Successful Bid and the Successful Bid varies in terms or structure from the Stalking Horse Bid, the Debtors reserve the right to amend the Plan to reflect those variations as appropriate and to provide such supplemental disclosure of those amendments as the Bankruptcy Court may require.

4. Claims and Equity Interests Against SCI
Class S.1 — Other Secured Claims against SCI
Classification: Each Class S.1 Claim is an Other Secured Claim. This Class will be further divided into subclasses designated by letters of the alphabet (Class S.1A, Class S.1B and so on), so that each holder of any Other Secured Claim against this Debtor is in a Class by itself, except to the extent that there are Other Secured Claims that are substantially similar to each other and may be included within a single Class. Any and all Claims arising under the Secured Cash Management Agreement shall be classified in this Class as an Other Secured Claim against SCI.
Treatment: Unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of any Class S.1 Claim, the legal, equitable and contractual rights of the Holders of Class S.1 Claims are unaltered by this Plan. Subject to Article VIII hereof, on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the later of the Effective Date or the date on which such Class S.1 Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, each Holder of an Allowed Class S.1 Claim shall either (at the election of the Debtor): (a) receive in full satisfaction, settlement, discharge and release of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Class S.1 Claim, payment in full in Cash; or (b) otherwise be left Unimpaired through assumption of such Claim and retention of all existing liens to secure such Claim, in either case upon the latest of: (i) the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as practicable; (ii) such date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court; (iii) the eleventh (11th) Business Day after such Claim is Allowed; and (iv) such date as agreed upon by the Holder of such Claim and the applicable Debtor.
Voting: Class S.1 is an Unimpaired Class, and the Holders of Class S.1 Claims are conclusively deemed to have accepted this Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Holders of Class S.1 Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject this Plan.

To the extent the value of the Collateral securing Prepetition Opco Secured Claims is less than the amount of those Claims, such deficiency shall be classified as a General Unsecured Claim in Class S.4. Any Holder of a Class S.2 Claim that votes to accept the Plan, however, shall not be an Eligible Opco Unsecured Creditor and shall be deemed to have
52
elected to waive any and all rights to receive any distributions on account of its Class S.4 deficiency claim and therefore shall not receive any NPH Warrants and shall not have any rights to participate in the Propco Rights Offering, any Equity Raise or in any NPH Post-Effective Investment Rights on account of its Class S.4 deficiency claim.

(2) $430 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans less the Gun Lake Reimbursement proceeds in excess of $20 million, which term loans shall be subject to the terms of the New Opco Credit Agreement; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, letters of credit issued and that remain undrawn under the Prepetition Opco Credit Agreement shall be replaced or backstopped by letters of credit issued under the New Opco Credit Agreement on the Effective Date.
(3) $25 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans, which shall be subject to the terms of the New Opco PIK Credit Agreement; and

Subject to full compliance with the respective treatment of the Senior Notes Claims and the Subordinated Notes Claims in accordance with this Plan, distributions under the Plan are not subject to payment to any beneficiaries of such terminated subordination rights, or to levy, garnishment, attachment, or other legal process by any beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights.
E. Withholding Taxes.
The Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as the case may be, may deduct any applicable federal or state withholding taxes from any distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
F. Set Offs.
The Debtors may, but shall not be required to, set off or recoup against any Claim and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever which the Debtors or the Estates may have against the holder of such Claim to the extent such claims may be set off or recouped under applicable law, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Plan Administrator of any such claim or counterclaim that they may have against such holder.
G. Timing of Payments and Distributions.
Except (i) as to Class S.2, (ii) as to Class P.2, (iii) as otherwise provided in Article V, and (iv) as otherwise required or provided for under the New Opco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Transfer Agreement or the Landco Assets Transfer Agreement or to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the New Opco Purchase Agreement,
63
the New Propco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Transfer Agreement or the Landco Assets Transfer Agreement, any payments or distributions to be made under the Plan shall be deemed to be timely made if made within twenty (20) days after the date specified in the Plan, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. Whenever any distribution to be made under the Plan shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such distribution shall instead be made, without interest, on the immediately succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been made on the date due. The value of any distributions received by Holders of Claims in satisfaction of interest-bearing obligations shall be allocated first to the full satisfaction of the principal of such interest-bearing obligations and second in satisfaction of any accrued and unpaid interest.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

As described in detail below, implementation of the Plan will include, among other things, numerous conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries among various parties. All conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries to any transferee pursuant to the transactions described under Section V.B.3, Section V.B.4, Section V.B.5, Section V.B.7 and Section V.B.8 below shall be made, and such assets shall vest in the applicable transferee, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, Equity Interests, and any other interests asserted by the Debtors, any creditors of the Debtors, or other Persons (including, without limitation, any Liens, Claims, Equity Interests, or other interests, whether presently known or unknown, in any way relating to or arising from the operations of the Debtors prior to the Effective Date), in accordance with and as contemplated by, among others, sections 105(a), 363, 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, save and excepting any specific obligations expressly undertaken by such transferee or its designee in the Plan or in any document to which such transferee is a party (including the New Opco Purchase Agreement) and which is necessary for Consummation of the Plan. No such transferee or any of its Subsidiaries, creditors or equity holders shall be or be deemed to be a successor of any of the Debtors or any of the Non-Debtor Affiliates by reason of any theory of law or equity and shall not have any successor or transferee liability of any kind, nature or character, including liabilities arising or resulting from or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Confirmation Order shall not provide that the sale of any property that constitutes New Opco Acquired Assets is free and clear of any environmental liability imposed by a Governmental Unit (as defined in the Stalking Horse APA) arising from or related to such property to the extent that the Bankruptcy Court determines that such property cannot be sold to the Successful Bidder free and clear of such liability pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.
The transactions consummated pursuant to the Plan, the New Opco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Transfer Agreement and the Landco Assets Transfer Agreement shall not constitute a de facto merger, or a merger, as between any Debtors or any of the Non-Debtor Affiliates and any transferee pursuant to the Plan, the New Opco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Transfer Agreement and the Landco Assets Transfer Agreement under any applicable law (including Nevada law).

65
any liability, obligation or responsibility with respect to any Claims against or Equity Interests in any of the Debtors or any of the Non-Debtor Affiliates, including without limitation any amounts owed by the Debtors to holders of Claims or Equity Interests or any obligations of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan.
After the Effective Date, each such transferee and its designated subsidiaries will own the assets conveyed to it and operate its business and manage its affairs free of any restrictions contained in the Bankruptcy Code. The terms, provisions and conditions of the agreements governing the transactions described in Section V.B.3, Section V.B.4, Section V.B.5, Section V.B.7 and Section V.B.8 below shall govern the obligations of the Debtors and the other parties thereto and to the extent inconsistent with the Plan, such agreements shall control.
Without further approvals or notice, the Debtors, the Administrative Agent and any other applicable Person shall have the power and authority to terminate and discharge (and to consent to terminate and discharge) Liens on any assets to effectuate the terms hereof and the terms of the New Opco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Transfer Agreement, the Landco Assets Transfer Agreement and the New Propco Purchase Agreement on the Effective Date.

ARTICLE VI.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
1. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases identified on the Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases To Be Assumed will be deemed assumed by the applicable Debtor in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions and requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.
2. On the Effective Date, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected if such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease:
(i) Is not listed on the Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases To Be Assumed;
72
(ii) has been rejected by order of the Bankruptcy Court;
(iii) is the subject of a motion to reject pending on the Effective Date;
(iv) is identified in the Plan Supplement as a contract or lease to be rejected or in the New Opco Purchase Agreement as an Excluded Asset;
(v) is rejected pursuant to the terms of this Plan;
(vi) expired by its own terms on or prior to the Effective Date; or
(vii) has not been assumed or is not the subject of a motion to assume pending on the Effective Date.
Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assumptions and rejections pursuant to Sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Plan (including, without limitation, any “change of control” provision) restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by this Plan shall not entitle the non-debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.
B. Assignment of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
Unless and as otherwise provided by a prior order to the Bankruptcy Court, in the event any Debtor proposes to assign an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, at least twenty (20) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall serve upon counterparties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, a notice of the proposed assumption and assignment, which will: (a) list the applicable cure amount, if any; (b) identify the party to which the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be assigned; (c) describe the procedures for filing objections thereto; and (d) explain the process by which related disputes will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Any applicable cure amounts shall be satisfied, pursuant to Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the cure amount in Cash on the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Subject to the foregoing, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that constitutes a New Propco Acquired Asset shall be assigned to New Propco or its designated Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Plan and pursuant to the New Propco Purchase Agreement or New Propco Transfer Agreement, as applicable, and any Executory Contract of Unexpired Lease that is to be assigned to New Opco or its designated Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the New Opco Purchase Agreement shall be so assigned in accordance with the terms of this Plan.
Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assignment or any related cure amount must be filed, served and actually received by
73
the Debtors at least five (5) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assignment or cure amount will be deemed to have consented to such assignment of its Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.
The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving any proposed assignments of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.
In the event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any cure payment, (b) the ability of any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assigned or (c) any other matter pertaining to assignment, the applicable cure payments required by Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assignment. If an objection to assignment or cure amount is sustained by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors, with the consent of New Propco and/or the Successful Bidder, as applicable, may elect to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in lieu of assuming and assigning it.
C. Claims on Account of the Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to this Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days after the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection.
Any Entity that is required to file a Proof of Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease that fails to timely do so shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Claim, and such Claim shall not be enforceable, against the Debtors, the Estates or any of their respective property, and such Claim shall be forever discharged. All such Claims shall, as of the Effective Date, be subject to the permanent injunction set forth in Article X.F hereof.
D. Director and Officer Insurance Policies
The Debtors shall obtain (at market-based premiums) prior to the Effective Date insurance policies providing substantially similar coverage as the existing D&O Liability Insurance Policies coverage for claims (as defined in such policies) made for any wrongful acts (as defined in such policies) or other covered conduct, acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Date (also referred to as “tail coverage”) with coverage (in scope and substance) and on terms no less favorable to the current insureds than the Debtors’ insurance policies existing as of the date of entry of the Confirmation Order, which insurance policies shall be reasonably acceptable to the Mortgage Lenders (the “Tail Coverage Insurance Policies”). The costs of the Tail Coverage Insurance Policies shall be allocated among the Debtors in a manner satisfactory to the Required Consenting Lenders and the Mortgage Lenders, or as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, such that each Debtor bears the expense of its own coverage.

Except as otherwise provided in the “Treatment” sections in Article III hereof or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Claims and Equity Interests that are Allowed Claims or Equity Interests as of the Effective Date shall be made on the initial distribution date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Other than with respect to Classes P.2 and S.2, any distribution to be made on the Effective Date pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed as having been made on the Effective Date if such distribution is made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any payment or distribution required to be made under this Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Distributions on account of Disputed Claims and Equity Interests that first become Allowed Claims and Equity Interests after the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to Article VIII hereof.
B. Post-Petition Interest on Claims
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan or the Confirmation Order or any other Final Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.
C. Distributions under the Plan
Other than as specifically set forth below or in the New Propco Purchase Agreement, the New Propco Transfer Agreement, the New Opco Purchase Agreement or the Landco Assets Transfer Agreement, the Plan Administrator or Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required to be distributed under this Plan; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator or Distribution Agent may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by this Plan; provided, further, that SCI or the Successful Bidder shall make all cash distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class S.2 and Propco shall make all cash distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class P.2. Neither New Propco nor New Opco shall have any obligation to fund the expenses incurred by the Plan Administrator from and after the Effective Date. Distributions made on account of Allowed Senior Notes Claims shall be deemed complete when made to the Senior Notes Trustee for distribution pursuant to the terms of the Senior Notes Indentures. Distributions on account of Allowed Subordinated Notes Claims shall be deemed complete when made to the Senior Notes Trustee until such time as the Allowed Senior Notes Claims are paid in full to effectuate the subordination provisions as provided for in the Subordinated Notes Indentures. Thereafter, distributions made on account of Allowed Subordinated Notes Claims shall be deemed complete when made to the Subordinated Notes Trustee.
75
D. Delivery and Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions
1. Record Date for Distributions
On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed. Accordingly, the Plan Administrator and Distribution Agent will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of any participation in, any Allowed Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute securities, property, notices and other documents only to those Holders of Allowed Claims who are Holders of such Claims, or participants therein, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The Plan Administrator or any other applicable Distribution Agent shall be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with only those record holders stated on the Claims Register, or their books and records, as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.
2. Delivery of Distributions in General
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan Administrator or Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests, or in case of their authorized agents, as appropriate, at the address for each such Holder or agent as indicated on the Debtors’ books and records as of the date of any such distribution; provided, however, that if a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest Files a Proof of Claim, the address for such Holder shall be deemed to be the address set forth in any Proof of Claim Filed by that Holder.
3. Minimum Distributions
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Debtor, Plan Administrator or Distribution Agent shall be required to make distributions or payments of less than Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars (whether in Cash or otherwise) or to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar under this Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being rounded down.
4. Undeliverable Distributions
(a) Holding of Certain Undeliverable Distributions
If the distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest is returned to the Distribution Agent as undeliverable or is otherwise unclaimed, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be made to such Holder on the next Subsequent Distribution Date. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Distribution Agent, subject to Article VII.D.4(b) hereof, until such time as any such distributions become deliverable. Undeliverable distributions shall not be entitled to any additional interest, dividends or other accruals of any kind on account of their distribution being undeliverable.
76
(b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions
Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest (or any successor or assignee or other Person or Entity claiming by, through, or on behalf of, such Holder) that does not assert a right pursuant to this Plan for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution within one (1) year after the later of the Effective Date or the date such distribution is due shall be deemed to have forfeited its rights for such undeliverable or unclaimed distribution and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such rights for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution against the Debtors, their Estates or their property. In such cases, any Cash for distribution on account of such rights for undeliverable or unclaimed distributions shall become the property of the Estates free of any restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require the Debtors or any Distribution Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest.
(c) Failure to Present Checks
Checks issued by the Distribution Agent on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the issuance of such check. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Distribution Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim or Equity Interest with respect to which such check originally was issued. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest holding an un-negotiated check that does not request reissuance of such un-negotiated check within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of mailing or other delivery of such check shall have its Claim or Equity Interest for such un-negotiated check discharged and be discharged and forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any such Claim or Equity Interest against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates or their property.
E. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations
In connection with this Plan and all distributions hereunder, the Debtors and any Distribution Agent shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Debtors or any Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. All persons holding Claims shall be required to provide any information necessary to effect information reporting and the withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. Any Cash and Documents and/or other consideration or property to be distributed pursuant to this Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Article VII.D.4 of this Plan. To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan consists of indebtedness and other amounts (such as accrued but unpaid interest thereon), such distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Claim (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to such other amounts.
77
F. Means of Cash Payment
Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Debtors, by (a) checks drawn on, or (b) wire transfer from, a domestic bank selected by the Debtors. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of the Debtors, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.
G. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed
On the Initial Distribution Date (or if a Claim or Equity Interest is not an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest on the Effective Date, on the Subsequent Distribution Date occurring after such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest shall receive the full amount of the distributions that this Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in the applicable Class. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Equity Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Equity Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in the applicable class treatment or in Article VIII hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, Holders of Claims and Equity Interests shall not be entitled to interest, dividends or accruals on the distributions provided for herein, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.
H. Setoffs and Recoupments
Without altering or limiting any of the rights and remedies of the Debtors or any other party in interest under Section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, all of which rights and remedies are hereby reserved, the Debtors may, but shall not be required to, withhold (but not setoff except as set forth below) from the distributions called for hereunder on account of any Allowed Claim an amount equal to any claims, Causes of Action and Litigation Claims of any nature that the Debtors may hold against the Holder of any such Allowed Claim. In the event that any such claims, Causes of Action or Litigation Claims are adjudicated by Final Order or otherwise resolved against the applicable Holder, the Debtors may, pursuant to Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off or exercise recoupment against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant hereto on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), the amount of such adjudicated or resolved claims, Causes of Action or Litigation Claims. Neither the failure to effect such a setoff or exercise recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of any such claims, Causes of Action or Litigation Claims.
I. Preservation of Subordination Rights
Except as otherwise provided herein, all subordination rights and claims relating to the subordination by the Debtors or either Plan Administrator of any Allowed Claim shall remain valid, enforceable and unimpaired in accordance with Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
78

Upon the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall be responsible for pursuing any objection to the allowance of all Disputed Claims and Equity Interests with respect to which an objection has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court and notice thereof has been given to the Holder of the Disputed Claim. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall have the right to object to the allowance of Claims with respect to which they dispute liability or allowance in whole or in part. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to file, settle, compromise or withdraw any objections to Disputed Claims against Debtors without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. However, the Bankruptcy Court may approve any compromises and settlements in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9019.
B. Resolution of Disputed Claims and Equity Interests
1. Allowance of Claims and Equity Interests
After the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall have and shall retain any and all rights and defenses that the Debtors had with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest, except with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest deemed Allowed under this Plan. Except as expressly provided in this Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order), no Claim or Equity Interest shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim or Equity Interest is deemed Allowed under this Plan or the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order, including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order, in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim or Equity Interest.
2. Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Equity Interests
After the Confirmation Date but before the Effective Date, the Debtors, and after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator, shall have the exclusive authority to File objections to Claims and settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to any and all Claims, regardless of whether such Claims or Equity Interests are in an Unimpaired Class or otherwise; provided, however, this provision shall not apply to Professional Fee Claims; and provided further that (a) the Successful Bidder may object to the allowance of any Administrative Claim against SCI or any of the Other Opco Debtors, and (b) the Mortgage Lenders may object to the allowance of any Administrative Claim against Propco or any of the Mezzco Debtors. Subject to the foregoing, from and after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole authority to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
79
3. Estimation
After the Confirmation Date but before the Effective Date, the Debtors, and after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate (a) any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to applicable law and (b) any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 to estimate any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest, contingent Claim or Equity Interest or unliquidated Claim or Equity Interest, including during the litigation concerning any objection to any Claim or Equity Interest or during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. All of the aforementioned Claim or Equity Interests and objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claim or Equity Interests may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The rights and objections of all parties are reserved in connection with any such estimation proceeding.
4. Deadline to File Objections to Claims and Equity Interests
Any objections to Claims and Equity Interests shall be Filed no later than the Claims Objection Bar Date. Moreover, notwithstanding the expiration of the Claims Objection Bar Date, the Debtors, and, after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator, shall continue to have the right to amend any claims objections and to file and prosecute supplemental objections and counterclaims to a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest until such Disputed Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed.
C. No Distributions Pending Allowance
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no payments or distributions of any kind or nature shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim or Equity Interest unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim or Equity Interest have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim or Equity Interest has become an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest.
D. Reserves for Disputed Claims
To the extent necessary or appropriate for Classes entitled to receive distributions hereunder, each Debtor may separately maintain a reserve for any distributable amounts required to be set aside on account of Disputed Claims and shall distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including any taxes relating thereto), as provided herein as, when and if such Disputed Claims are resolved by Final Order, and such amounts shall be distributable in respect of such Disputed Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had the Disputed Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date, provided that no interest shall be distributable or accrue with respect thereto. No such reserves shall be necessary for any Classes that will not receive any distributions under the Plan.
80
E. Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims and Equity Interests Once They Are Allowed and Additional Distributions on Account of Previously Allowed Claims and Equity Interests
On each subsequent distribution date (or such earlier date as determined by the Debtors or the Plan Administrator in their sole discretion, as applicable), the Debtors, the Plan Administrator or another applicable Distribution Agent will make distributions (a) on account of any Disputed Claim or Equity Interest that has become an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest during the preceding ninety (90) days, and (b) on account of previously Allowed Claims or Equity Interests of property that would have been distributed to the Holders of such Claim or Equity Interest on the dates distributions previously were made to Holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in such Class had the Disputed Claims or Equity Interests that have become Allowed Claims or Equity Interests or disallowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court been Allowed or disallowed, as applicable, on such dates. Such distributions will be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article III of this Plan.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article X or elsewhere in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall retain all rights to commence, pursue, litigate or settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action and Litigation Claims, whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising, in any court or other tribunal including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Case. The Plan Administrator, as the successor in interest to the Debtors and their Estates, may, and shall have the exclusive right to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of the Litigation Claims without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent any such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims exist as of the Effective Date, they may be assigned to a liquidating trust, distributions from which will be in accordance with this Plan.
2. Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released
(a) Unless a Cause of Action or Litigation Claim against a Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest or other Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan or any Final Order (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order), the Debtors expressly reserve such Cause of Action or Litigation Claim for later adjudication by the Debtors or by the Plan Administrator (including, without limitation, Causes of Action and Litigation Claims not specifically identified or of which the Debtors may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtors now believe to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches shall apply to such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims upon or after the confirmation of this Plan or Consummation of this Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, this Plan or the Confirmation Order, except where such Causes of Action or Litigation Claims have been expressly released in this Plan (including, without limitation, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Release contained in Article X.C hereof) or any other Final Order (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order). In addition, the
87
Debtors and the Plan Administrator expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which any Debtor or Propco Debtor, respectively, is a plaintiff, defendant or an interested party, against any Entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits. For the avoidance of doubt, any litigation with respect to the Going Private Transaction is not preserved by any provision of this Plan including this section X.E.2.a.
(b) Unless a Cause of Action or Litigation Claim against a Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest or other Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan or any Final Order (including, without limitation, the Confirmation Order), the Debtors and the Plan Administrator reserve all rights to pursue:
(i) Any other Causes of Action, whether legal, equitable or statutory in nature;
(ii) Any and all actions arising under or actionable pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, sections 544, 545, 547 (except as provided below), 548, 549, 550, 551, 553(b) and/or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and
(iii) Any other Causes of Action that currently exist or may subsequently arise and which have not been otherwise set forth herein or in any schedule of Causes of Action, because the facts upon which such Causes of Action are based are not currently or fully known by the Debtors, (collectively, the “Unknown Causes of Action”). The failure to list or describe any such Unknown Cause of Action herein is not intended to limit the rights of the Debtors or the Plan Administrator to pursue any Unknown Cause of Action.
F. Supplemental Injunction
The Confirmation Order shall provide for the following injunctions to take effect as of the Effective Date.
1. Terms. In order to preserve and promote the settlements contemplated by and provided for in the Plan and as described in this Article, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Persons and any Person claiming by or through them, which have held or asserted, which currently hold or assert or which may hold or assert any Claims or any other Causes of Action, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies or liabilities of any nature whatsoever, and all Interests, or other rights of a Holder of an equity security or other ownership interest, against any of the Released Parties based upon, attributable to, arising out of or relating to any Claim against or Interest in any of the Debtors, whenever and wherever arising or asserted, whether in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, whether sounding in tort, contract, warranty or any other theory of law, equity or admiralty, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, permanently stayed, restrained and enjoined from taking any action against any of the Released Parties for the purpose of directly or indirectly collecting, recovering or receiving any payment or recovery with respect to any such Claims or other Causes of Action, Litigation Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies or liabilities, and all Interests or other rights of a Holder of an equity security or other ownership interest, arising prior to the Effective Date (including prior to the Petition Date), including, but not limited to:

(c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any Lien of any kind against any of the Released Parties or the assets or property of any Released Party with respect to any such Claims or other Causes of Action, Litigation Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies or liabilities, and all Interests or other rights of a Holder of an equity security or other ownership interest;
(d) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, asserting, implementing or effectuating any setoff, right of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due to any of the Released Parties or against the property of any Released Party with respect to any such Claims or other Causes of Action, Litigation Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies or liabilities, and all Equity Interests or other rights of a Holder of an equity security or other ownership interest; and
(e) taking any act, in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to, or comply with, the provisions of the Plan or the Confirmation Order relating to such Claims or other Causes of Action, Litigation Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies or liabilities, and all Interests or other rights of a Holder of an equity security or other ownership interest.
2. Bankruptcy Rule 3016 Compliance. The Debtors’ compliance with the formal requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c) shall not constitute an admission that the Plan provides for an injunction against conduct not otherwise enjoined under the Bankruptcy Code.
G. Integral to Plan
Each of the releases and injunctions provided in this Article X of the Plan is an integral part of the Plan and is essential to its implementation. Each of the Released Parties, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors and any other Person protected thereby, as applicable, shall have the right to seek independently the enforcement of such releases, discharges and injunctions.

(2) It is understood that representatives of Fidelity Management and Research Company and Serengeti Asset Management, L.P. are on the UCC and therefore may, in their capacities as members of the UCC, have fiduciary duties to the Opco Unsecured Creditors. Nothing in this summary of terms (or the agreements contemplated hereby) shall prohibit or limit the ability of such members of the UCC, in their respective capacities as such, to act on matters before the UCC in accordance with such fiduciary duties; provided, however, that the existence of such fiduciary duties shall not permit such members to act, in their individual capacities, in a manner that is inconsistent with their obligations in this summary of terms (or the agreements contemplated hereby).
| | by holders indirectly through Blockerco for equity interests in the entity (“New Propco Holdco”) formed to hold the non-voting interests issued by New Propco (as such term is defined in the Plan)(3), other than (i) the holders of Master Lease Rejection Damage Claims (as such term is defined in the Plan) and (ii) the Mortgage Lenders as holders of claims in Class S.7 (4) in connection with the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization filed by Opco, FCP Propco, LLC and the other Debtors on June 15, 2010 or a Propco-only plan (alternatively and without differentiation, and as amended from time, the “Plan”). Certain terms and provisions relating to Blockerco and the representations and warranties to be made by the owners of Blockerco and various provisions relating thereto are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. For purposes hereof, references to ownership of New Propco Holdco Warrants and purchase or ownership of New Propco Holdco Equity shall mean purchase or ownership by the Opco Unsecured Creditors through Blockerco. The Debtors shall amend the Plan to provide that Opco Secured Lenders that vote in favor of the Plan will not have the right as Opco Unsecured Creditors to receive New Propco Holdco Warrants or to purchase New Propco Holdco Equity as provided herein. |
| | |
| | Amount: Exercisable for 2.5% of the total equity of New Propco Holdco, subject to adjustment as described under “Other Terms.” |
| | |
| | Exercise Price: During the first two years after the Effective Date (as such term is defined in the Plan, the “Effective Date”), the product of (A) 2.5 times (B) the per unit value of equity interests in New Propco Holdco issued under the Plan (with the total value of such equity interests under the Plan being the sum of (i) the amount of $200 million plus the amount of any additional equity issued or capital contributions made as of the Effective Date, excluding the contribution of the New Propco Acquired Assets, as defined in the Plan, and (ii) the amount of any reduction in the debt agreed to by the Propco Lenders (with the consent of the Debtors and FG and approval, if required, of the Bankruptcy Court) in exchange for New Propco Holdco |
(3) It is contemplated that the New Propco Holdco Warrants would be issued through the Blockerco structure in connection with the Plan to all of the Opco Unsecured Creditors in a transaction exempt from the securities laws pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. There may be more than one (but not more than five) Blockerco entities (each of which shall be considered “Blockerco” hereunder) established if reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the shares issued by all of the Blockerco entities. The holders of a majority of Blockerco shares shall control Blockerco, including the right to design and control tax mitigation techniques at Blockerco (the costs of which shall be borne by the shareholders of Blockerco) that do not adversely affect New Propco Holdco or its equityholders (except for adverse effects that are clearly de minimis). The New Propco Holdco Equity (as such term is defined below) would be issued only to Accredited Investors in all cases.
(4) It is understood that certain Opco Unsecured Creditors may request to structure their investments in a manner which complies with applicable Nevada gaming regulations for investments of this type. The parties intend to use reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests to the extent reasonably practicable.
2
| | Equity, the “Plan Value”), with such price thereafter increasing by 15% per year in each of years 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 following the Effective Date; provided, that the exercise price may be adjusted as may be reasonably necessary in the discretion of the Debtors, FG or the Propco Lenders to satisfy the Tax Condition (as defined below). |
| | |
| | Allocation: The allocation by Blockerco of New Propco Holdco Warrants among the classes or categories, as the case may be, of Opco Unsecured Creditors shall be effected on a pro rata basis in proportion to allowed unsecured claims, subject, in each case, to any applicable contractual subordination arrangements except to the extent the parties otherwise agree and such agreement is reflected in the Plan and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. |
| | |
| | Treatment in Forced Exercise: In the case that the New Propco Holdco Warrants are subject to any forced exercise provision as part of a capital raise or similar transaction, the sole consequence to the nonexercising holders would be the termination of such warrants. |
| | |
| | Other Terms: Additional terms (including those relating to dilution) substantially similar to the terms provided for “Lender Warrants” referred to in Annex 3 to the Opco and FCP Propco Restructuring Term Sheet, dated March 24, 2010 (the “Propco Term Sheet”), except that future equity issuances by New Propco Holdco the proceeds of which are utilized to fund the acquisition of the New Opco Acquired Assets (as such term is defined in the Plan), and issuances of equity pursuant to conversion or exchange rights relating to debt securities the proceeds of which are utilized for such purpose, each shall not have a dilutive effect on the New Propco Holdco Warrants. |
| | |
New Propco Holdco Investment Right | | In General: In connection with the Plan and subject to the conditions and other limitations set forth herein, each Opco Unsecured Creditor that is an “accredited investor” (“Accredited Investor”) as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be entitled to participate in a rights offering through Blockerco (the “Propco Rights Offering”) pursuant to which it may subscribe for and purchase through Blockerco equity interests issued by New Propco Holdco (the “New Propco Holdco Equity”). |
| | |
| | Amount: $35.3 million in New Propco Holdco Equity (unless such amount is increased in accordance with the terms set forth below in this sub-section or under the caption entitled “Effect of Subsequent Equity Offerings”), which amount represents approximately 15% of the equity interests in New Propco |
3
| | Holdco.(5) |
| | |
| | Allocation: The opportunity to purchase New Propco Holdco Equity through Blockerco shall be allocated among the classes or categories, as the case may be, of Opco Unsecured Creditors on a pro rata basis in proportion to allowed unsecured claims (but with a minimum purchase being $250,000), subject, in each case, to any applicable contractual subordination arrangements except to the extent the parties otherwise agree and such agreement is reflected in the Plan and approved by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that the Put Parties (so long as they hold at least 40% in aggregate principal amount of the unsecured senior notes of Opco) shall have the right to purchase at least one-half of the New Propco Holdco Equity available in the Propco Rights Offering (which equity shall be allocated among the Put Parties as they shall mutually agree). |
| | |
| | Put Condition: The Propco Rights Offering shall only be available if the Put Parties have duly executed and delivered by July 29, 2010 (the “Commitment Submission Deadline”) a firm and irrevocable put commitment (the “Propco Commitment”), in form and substance acceptable to the Put Parties, Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders, to purchase through Blockerco $35.3 million of New Propco Holdco Equity which the Opco Unsecured Creditors or Put Parties are contemplated to be entitled to subscribe for hereunder as provided under “New Propco Holdco Investment Right—Amount” (the “Committed Propco Amount”) and which is not so purchased by the Opco Unsecured Creditors or the Put Parties pursuant to the proviso under “New Propco Holdco Investment Right—Allocation.” As used herein, the term “Commitment Percentage” shall mean 15%. |
| | |
| | The Propco Commitment shall also cover the amount (the “Upsizing Committed Amount”) up to a maximum of $100 million (i.e., up to a maximum of $64.7 million in addition to the original $35.3 million, the “Cap”) of New Propco Holdco Equity the Put Parties will irrevocably commit to purchase through Blockerco (to the extent not purchased by Opco Unsecured Creditors or by the Put Parties pursuant to the proviso under “New Propco Holdco Investment Right—Allocation”) in the event that any Acquisition or Additional Equity Issuance (in each case as such terms are defined below, with any equity raises to fund any Acquisition or any Additional Equity Issuances being collectively referred to as “Equity Raises”) is consummated. The Upsizing Committed Amount shall be expressed as the Commitment Percentage of any Equity Raises, it being understood that no |
(5) Investment percentages contained throughout this summary of terms are predicated upon, and subject to, $200 million initial valuation, as may be adjusted for additional capital contributions to or new equity raised at New Propco Holdco prior to closing. For example, assuming no additional equity is raised at closing other than that contemplated under this sub-section, a $35.3 million total investment would result in the acquisition of approximately 15% of the equity interests in New Propco Holdco (before giving effect to potential future exercises of warrants or options or the issuance of any equity interests upon the conversion of any convertible securities).
4
| | purchase price in respect of any Acquisition is expected to be definitively determined by the Commitment Submission Deadline.(6) The irrevocable commitment of the Put Parties in respect of the Upsizing Committed Amount shall survive until June 30, 2011 (the period from the date of the Propco Commitment until June 30, 2011, the “Upsizing Commitment Period”) and shall be deemed to apply to, among other things, any equity raise consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period. |
| | |
| | Remedies for Failure to Purchase: If an Opco Unsecured Creditor fails to close on a purchase of New Propco Holdco Equity it agreed to make pursuant to the Propco Rights Offering through Blockerco, Blockerco shall have no liability with respect to such failure other than the loss of any equity it would have otherwise acquired on behalf of such Opco Unsecured Creditor, it being understood that New Propco Holdco shall have all rights to pursue any such Opco Unsecured Creditor; including any Put Party, for any failure to meet any commitment to make such a purchase or effect a purchase required under a put arrangement, and Blockerco shall cooperate with New Propco Holdco to the extent reasonably requested by New Propco Holdco in connection therewith. The Put Parties would purchase any New Propco Holdco Equity as to which an Opco Unsecured Creditor defaulted in its purchase commitment. |
| | |
| | Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds derived by New Propco Holdco from any investment by the Opco Unsecured Creditors in the Propco Rights Offering shall be contributed by New Propco Holdco as equity to New Propco and utilized by New Propco for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to reduce debt or for one or more Acquisitions. |
| | |
Effect of Subsequent Equity Offerings: | | Upsizing: In the event that (i) (a) any bid submitted by New Propco Holdco or any of its subsidiaries to purchase (x) the New Opco Acquired Assets or any substantially similar collection of assets held by Opco or its subsidiaries (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Stalking Horse Bid”) prevails and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Opco Acquisition”) are contemplated to be consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period, (y) equity interests in the reorganized successor to, or all or substantially all of the assets of, Green Valley Ranch Gaming, LLC and/or Aliante Gaming, LLC is accepted and any resulting transactions (such transactions, the “JV Acquisitions”) are contemplated to be consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period or (z) equity interests in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, any other material gaming operating entity located within a 100-mile radius of the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada is accepted, and the resulting transactions (the “Additional Acquisitions,” and |
(6) Capital contributions will be deemed to include Propco cash/cash collateral or equivalents delivered to New Propco Holdco or one of its subsidiaries at the direction of the Propco Lenders that would otherwise be distributed to the Propco Lenders as part of their recovery under the Plan.
5
| | together with the Opco Acquisition and the JV Acquisitions, the “Acquisitions”) are contemplated to be consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period (it being understood that no transaction shall be deemed to be an “Additional Acquisition” unless the Put Parties agree that the Propco Commitment shall apply to such transaction) and (b) any such Acquisition is to be funded, in whole or in part, through an Equity Raise in which existing equityholders of New Propco Holdco or others participate or (ii) any additional Equity Raises (“Additional Equity Issuances”) are contemplated to be consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period (including, without limitation, an equity issuance approved by the Debtors, FG and the Propco Lenders the proceeds of which are used to repay not more than $50 million of debt owed to the Propco Lenders (the “Debt Paydown Issuance”), but excluding any equity issuances contemplated by the Propco Term Sheet) by New Propco Holdco for other purposes (it being understood that no equity issuance shall be deemed to be an Additional Equity Issuance, other than the Debt Paydown Issuance, unless the Put Parties agree that the Propco Commitment shall apply to such equity issuance), then the Opco Unsecured Creditors collectively shall be provided an opportunity to increase the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity they are entitled to subscribe for and purchase through Blockerco in the Propco Rights Offering (the amount of such increase, the “Upsizing Amount”) by the product resulting from the amount of the Equity Raises, multiplied by the Commitment Percentage; provided, that the aggregate opportunity offered to the Opco Unsecured Creditors shall not exceed the Cap. Such amounts which exceed the Cap shall be subject, with respect to the Opco Unsecured Creditors that own at least .5% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity (aggregating, for this purpose and for purposes of determining eligibility to purchase as described under “Post-Effective Investment Right,” holdings by affiliated funds or other investment vehicles with a common investment manager) to preemptive rights substantially similar to those described under “Post-Effective Investment Right.” With respect to any Acquisitions or Additional Equity Issuances information will be provided to the Put Parties and other Opco Unsecured Creditors in reasonable detail, subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions and any procedures designed to deal with competitive interests. With respect to Additional Acquisitions and any Additional Equity Issuances as to which the consent of the Put Parties is required for the Propco Commitment to apply, the Put Parties shall reply not later than 15 days after the delivery of information as to whether they so consent. It is understood that no acquisitions shall constitute JV Acquisitions or Additional Acquisitions to the extent the consideration to the sellers in the transaction constitutes equity or other securities or property of New Propco Holdco or any affiliate thereof, and no such acquisition shall give rise to rights of the Opco Unsecured Creditors to purchase New Propco Holdco Equity under “Post-Effective Investment Right” except to the extent equity offerings are |
6
| | being made to finance such acquisition. In addition, there would be customary exceptions (such as offerings to employees) to triggering the right of Opco Unsecured Creditors to purchase New Propco Holdco Equity either in connection with an equity raise or in connection with the rights described under “Post-Effective Investment Right,” which customary exceptions shall also apply generally to preemptive rights held by other equityholders of New Propco Holdco. |
| | |
| | Irrespective of whether any Opco Unsecured Creditors determine to increase the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity they subscribe for and purchase in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Put Parties shall continue to be irrevocably obligated to satisfy any obligations they have undertaken in respect of the Upsizing Committed Amount pursuant to the Propco Commitment. |
| | |
Subscriptions of the Opco Unsecured Creditors in Propco Rights Offering | | If the Propco Commitment is duly and timely delivered by the Put Parties, then the Opco Unsecured Creditors shall collectively have the opportunity to subscribe through Blockerco for New Propco Holdco Equity in the Propco Rights Offering in an amount up to, as applicable, the (i) Committed Propco Amount, in the event that no Acquisitions requiring additional equity or Additional Equity Issuances are contemplated to be consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period, or, (ii) the sum of the Committed Propco Amount plus the Upsizing Amount, in the event that any such Acquisition or Additional Equity Issuance is contemplated to be consummated during the Upsizing Commitment Period. |
| | |
| | In order to be effective, each such subscription shall (i) be delivered by the Opco Unsecured Creditor tendering the same by no later than the deadline for doing so established by the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) be accompanied by a firm and irrevocable funding commitment of such Opco Unsecured Creditor to purchase the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity during the Upsizing Commitment Period for which it has subscribed, (iii) contain such other relevant information as the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders shall reasonably direct and (iv) be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders. |
| | |
Pricing in Propco Rights Offering; Put Premium | | All purchasers in the Propco Rights Offering shall purchase New Propco Holdco Equity through Blockerco at Plan Value. The Put Parties shall be paid a premium in cash by New Propco Holdco (the “Put Premium”) equal to $3,000,000 on the Effective Date, assuming that the Propco Commitment has not been terminated and each of the Put Parties has complied with its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder (including having made the purchases contemplated thereby which are required to be made on or before the Effective Date). The payment of the Put Premium to the Put Parties on the Effective Date shall be effected in such manner (such as a deduction from the purchase price otherwise payable by the Put Parties for the New Propco |
7
| | Holdco Equity being purchased by them through Blockerco) as the Debtors, FG/Propco Lenders and the Put Parties shall reasonably determine. The Put Premium shall be treated as a non-refundable payment once made; provided, however, that each Put Party shall repay, in whole or in part, as the case may be, its proportionate share of the aggregate Put Premium provided for herein in the event that such Put Party (i) breaches its obligation to fund any equity raise following the Effective Date (in which case, such Put Party shall return to New Propco Holdco that portion of the Put Premium received by it which is attributable to the amount of any such equity raise which is not so funded), (ii) intentionally or recklessly breaches any representation set forth on Exhibit A that it made or was required to make on or as of the Effective Date and such breach results in the rescission of all or a portion of the amount invested in any equity raise by such Put Party pursuant to the terms hereof (in which case, the Put Premium attributable to the rescinded amount shall be returned), or (iii) (x) cannot make any representations or provide support for verifications set forth on Exhibit A on or as of the Effective Date and (y) enters into escrow or other arrangements to permit funding of its investment pending confirmation of such representations or verifications, but such representations or verifications cannot be finalized as a result of any intentional act by or on behalf of such Put Party undertaken for the purpose of having such representations or verifications being unable to be made and such failure results in any portion of the purchases contemplated by such Put Party’s Propco Commitment not being completed or being rescinded (in which case, the Put Premium attributable to the unpurchased or rescinded amount so placed in escrow by such Put Party shall be returned to New Propco Holdco). |
| | |
Post-Effective Investment Right | | In the event that any equity raise is contemplated from existing equityholders of New Propco Holdco to fund an acquisition of an operating property or business or for other purposes, which equity raise is contemplated to be consummated following the end of the Upsizing Commitment Period (a “Post-Effective Equity Raise”), then the Opco Unsecured Creditors that are (i) Accredited Investors, (ii) own indirectly (together with affiliated funds or other investment vehicles with a common investment manager) through Blockerco at least .5% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity and (iii) participated in the Propco Rights Offering (the “Qualifying Creditors”) shall be entitled to participate in any such Post-Effective Equity Raise and subscribe for and purchase such amount of the New Propco Holdco Equity through Blockerco offered in such Post-Effective Equity Raise or make such amount of capital contributions through Blockerco, as the case may be, as shall enable each Qualifying Creditor electing to participate to retain a position in the New Propco Holdco Equity equal to the percentage of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity so held by it immediately prior to such Post-Effective Equity Raise. The Qualifying Creditors will be provided |
8
| | with information in reasonable detail (subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions and any procedures designed to deal with competitive interests) on a timely basis relating to each such Post-Effective Equity Raise and, to the extent they elect to do so, shall be entitled to participate in any Post-Effective Equity Raise (i) on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective investments in the Propco Rights Offering and (ii) at the same price at which other equityholders of New Propco Holdco are entitled to participate in the same. To the extent a Qualifying Creditor does not elect to exercise its rights to purchase in a Post-Effective Equity Raise, such rights may be exercised by other Qualifying Creditors (it being understood that there may be sharing arrangements with respect to preemptive rights involving other holders of New Propco Holdco Equity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the participation of the Qualifying Creditors in any Post-Effective Equity Raise shall be subject to such parameters as the Board of Directors or similar governing body of New Propco Holdco (the “Board”) shall determine are appropriate in order to ensure successful execution, including, without limitation, parameters with respect to the put commitments or similar arrangements relating to such Post-Effective Equity Raise. Any Qualifying Creditor that does not purchase the full amount of New Propco Holdco Equity offered to it in connection with any equity raise (whether a Post-Effective Equity Raise or an Equity Raise) shall lose its rights to participate in future Post-Effective Equity Raises. |
| | |
| | Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds derived by New Propco Holdco from any investment by the Qualifying Creditors in a Post-Effective Equity Raise shall be contributed by New Propco Holdco as equity to New Propco and utilized by New Propco for general corporate purposes or to fund one or more acquisitions. |
| | |
Voting Rights | | Subject to the requirements of applicable gaming laws and regulations (and following receipt of any applicable approvals required thereby), the New Propco Holdco Equity and the equity interests for which the New Propco Holdco Warrants are exercisable shall carry voting rights as set forth in the definitive agreements developed by FG/Propco Lenders. |
| | |
Tag-Along Rights | | Qualifying Creditors will have the right to tag along with a sale or series of related sales of at least 10.5% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity sold by other holders of New Propco Holdco Equity, except transfers between affiliates or other specified related parties and certain transfers between FG and Colony Capital (“Exempted Transfers”). It is understood that for purposes of computing whether the 10.5% threshold has been reached (i) sales made at least three months apart shall be deemed not to be related and (ii) any increase in the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity sought to be sold pursuant to the Top-Up right described under “Rights of First |
9
| | Refusal” shall be disregarded. Any such other holder (collectively, the “Initiating Holder”) would give notice to the Qualifying Creditors, as well as other equityholders with tag-along rights (“Other Tag Holders”) of an intent to sell at least 10.5% of such equity and a proposed price. To participate in the tag-along, the Qualifying Creditor would need to respond within 15 days. If such creditor (an “Electing Creditor”) gives notice of its desire to participate, the Initiating Holder would market its holdings as well as the proportionate holdings of the Electing Creditors and Other Tag Holders that responded affirmatively (collectively, the “Electing Holders”) at a price not less than 95% of the price specified in the original notice, and the electing Qualifying Creditors would give a power of attorney to the Initiating Holder to sell these interests, subject to the process described under “Rights of First Refusal.” Such proportionate participation right of each Electing Holder and electing Other Tag Holder would be determined by multiplying its ownership of New Propco Holdco Equity by the percentage of the New Propco Holdco Equity owned by the Initiating Holder that the Initiating Holder is seeking to sell as set forth in the notice given by the Initiating Holder. If not all of the interests could be sold, the amount sold would be allocated among the Initiating Holder and the Electing Holders in the respective proportions of the New Propco Holdco Equity sought to be sold by them; provided, that if the sale is of amounts remaining after a partial purchase described under “Rights of First Refusal” and the Initiating Holder has determined to increase the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity being sold pursuant to the Top-Up right described therein, such proportionate allocation among sellers shall also reflect such additional equity sought to be sold by the Initiating Holder and the other Electing Holders. All interests would be sold in the form of New Propco Holdco Equity, so Blockerco would have the ability to make such tag sale itself directly and then redeem the underlying Blockerco shares held by Electing Creditors, except as provided in the following sentence. In connection with a sale involving Qualifying Creditors that are Electing Holders, the Initiating Holder will, if requested by the holders of a majority of the equity sought to be sold by such Electing Holders, request potential buyers to quote, if they are willing to do so, a price at which they would buy Blockerco shares, as well as a price at which they would buy units of New Propco Holdco Equity, and (if the prospective buyer and such majority holders agree) such sales could be consummated as sales of Blockerco shares at a price not less than 95% of the price the prospective buyer originally quoted for the Blockerco shares; provided, that the Initiating Holder is also able to sell the equity sought to be sold by it to such buyer in compliance with the requirements of this paragraph. To the extent a Qualifying Creditor does not elect to exercise its tag rights, such rights may be exercised by other Qualifying Creditors (it being understood that there may be sharing arrangements with respect to tag rights involving other holders of New Propco Holdco Equity, which sharing arrangements by the Qualifying |
10
| | Creditors or the other holders of New Propco Holdco Equity shall not be subject to tag rights by persons not party to such sharing arrangements). |
| | |
Rights of First Refusal | | Qualifying Creditors that indirectly own at least 2.5% of the outstanding equity of New Propco Holdco through Blockerco and their affiliates (collectively, “2.5% Holders”) would have the right to purchase their pro rata share of any New Propco Holdco Equity sought to be sold by other holders of New Propco Holdco Equity (other than Exempted Transfers). In addition, all Opco Unsecured Creditors that purchase New Propco Holdco Equity would be bound by the obligation to offer their equity to other direct or indirect holders of New Propco Holdco Equity pursuant to the first refusal procedures described herein; provided, that (i) the Opco Unsecured Creditors may effect such sales in Blockerco shares (other than in a tag-along sale with New Propco Holdco Equity, except as provided in the last sentence under “Tag-Along Rights”) rather than being required to exchange such shares for New Propco Holdco Equity and (ii) a transfer by Blockerco of New Propco Holdco Equity to a shareholder of Blockerco in exchange for or redemption of the shares of Blockerco held by such shareholder shall not trigger such first refusal process, it being understood that such transferees will be bound by such first refusal requirements. If a holder of New Propco Holdco Equity or shares in Blockerco (a “Selling Holder”) desires to sell its interest in New Propco Holdco Equity or Blockerco shares, it would give notice to the 2.5% Holders and all other holders having purchase rights (the 2.5% Holders and such other holders, collectively, “Other Holders”) of the amount it wanted to sell and the proposed price per unit of New Propco Holdco Equity; provided, that if the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity sought to be sold causes the tag-along provisions to be applicable, the total amount after giving effect to tag-along rights also will be disclosed. The Other Holders would have 15 days after the expiration of the 15-day notice period described under “Tag-Along Rights” applicable to the contemplated transaction to decide whether to purchase or not at such price and would be entitled to purchase their proportionate share (based on the respective proportionate ownership of New Propco Holdco Equity held by the Other Holders that desire to purchase) of the amount offered. To the extent the Other Holders do not agree to purchase all of the New Propco Holdco Equity, so offered, then the Selling Holder (for itself and as agent for the holders exercising tag-along rights) could sell the remaining equity (plus any additional equity up to the amount originally offered that does not cause the amount being sold to the Other Holders to exceed 10% of the amount of outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity) at a price of at least 95% of the amount originally specified. If the application of the first refusal rights would result in the amount remaining to be sold by the Selling Holders (including any amounts to be sold by holders exercising tag-along rights) to be less than 10% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity, the Initiating Holder and the Electing Holders would have the right on |
11
| | a pro rata basis (the “Top-Up”) to increase the amount of equity being sold by it and the Electing Holders to the lesser of the (i) amount originally sought to be sold by them before the partial purchase by the Other Holders and (ii) amount necessary to cause such remaining amount to be sold by the Selling Holder and the holders exercising tag-along rights to be at least 10% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity. Furthermore, there would be no obligation of the Selling Holders to sell pursuant to the first refusal rights in a sale of less than all the New Propco Holdco Equity offered if the related Top-Up would cause the amount of New Propco Holdco Equity owned by the Initiating Holder to be less than 10% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity after giving effect to all contemplated sales. A purchase by a 2.5% Holder would be made through Blockerco as described in the antepenultimate sentence under “Tag-Along Rights.” To the extent a 2.5% Holder does not elect to exercise its rights of first refusal, such rights may be exercised by other 2.5% Holders (it being understood that there may be sharing arrangements with respect to rights of first refusal involving other holders of New Propco Holdco Equity). |
| | |
Board Observation Rights | | For so long as they collectively continue to indirectly hold through Blockerco at least one-half of the percentage of equity interests in New Propco Holdco indirectly acquired by them solely as a result of their participation in the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Minimum Ownership Condition”), the Qualifying Creditors (acting by vote of the holders of a majority of the New Propco Holdco Equity owned indirectly by them through Blockerco) collectively shall be entitled to nominate and appoint (the “Appointment Right”) an independent observer (the “Independent Observer”) to the Board of New Propco Holdco in accordance with the procedures specified in the immediately two succeeding paragraphs; provided, however, that the Board may direct such observer to recuse himself from meetings or proceedings of the Board in the event that information of competitive significance, as determined by the Board, concerning New Propco Holdco is reasonably expected to be discussed at any such meeting or proceeding or in order to preserve any legal privileges at any such meeting or proceeding. |
| | |
| | Subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions, the Independent Observer shall be provided, at the same time as the members of the Board are provided, with copies of materials prepared for and provided to the members of the Board in connection with their service on the Board (including a meeting agenda and Board package, in the event that such materials are prepared); provided, however, that the Board may exclude or redact from those materials made available to the Independent Observer information of competitive significance concerning New Propco Holdco and its subsidiaries and information which, if disclosed to the Independent Observer, would jeopardize the preservation of any legal privileges attaching thereto, in each case, as determined by the Board in its good faith discretion. |
12
| | In order to exercise the Appointment Right, the Qualifying Creditors shall submit to the Board for its consideration a list of no fewer than three candidates (the “Candidate List”) to serve as the Independent Observer, it being understood and agreed that the Qualifying Creditors shall include on the Candidate List only candidates who they reasonably believe the Board will consider to be acceptable. Each such candidate shall (i) not be affiliated with any competitor of New Propco Holdco or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) be independent of New Propco Holdco within the meaning of Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards and, accordingly, without a direct or indirect material relationship with New Propco Holdco, and (iii) be able to serve in the capacity of Independent Observer without contravening any applicable laws or regulations, including gaming laws or regulations. The Board shall use its reasonable efforts to screen the candidates appearing on the Candidate List (which screening shall consist of such interviews, background examinations and similar vetting processes as the Board shall determine in its reasonable discretion) within forty-five (45) days following the submission of the Candidate List to the Board by the Qualifying Creditors, provided that the Qualifying Creditors and the candidates whose names appear on the Candidate List promptly comply with the reasonable requests made by the Board pursuant to this sentence. Following the completion of the aforementioned screening exercise, in the event that the Board determines in its sole discretion that any one or more of the screened candidates appearing on the Candidate List is acceptable to it, the Board shall so advise the Qualifying Creditors, whereupon the Qualifying Creditors shall be entitled to exercise the Appointment Right with respect to any such screened candidate that the Board has determined to be acceptable. In the event that the Board determines in its sole discretion not to approve any candidate appearing on the Candidate List, it shall promptly so advise the Qualifying Creditors and the Qualifying Creditors shall thereafter supplement such Candidate List with additional candidates who satisfy the requirements set forth in the first and second sentences of this paragraph and resubmit the same to the Board for screening in accordance with the third sentence of this paragraph. The Board and the Qualifying Creditors shall use their respective reasonable efforts to promptly complete the actions contemplated to be undertaken by each of them pursuant to this paragraph in order to meet the timeframes set forth in the third sentence of this paragraph and in order that the Appointment Right be completed within ninety (90) days following the date on which the Board receives the initial applicable Candidate List from the Qualifying Creditors. It is understood and agreed that the Board’s exercise of its sole discretion as provided for in the fourth and fifth sentences of this paragraph shall be carried out in good faith. |
| | |
| | In the event that the Independent Observer resigns or is removed from office |
13
| | and the Qualifying Creditors continue to satisfy the Minimum Ownership Condition, then the Qualifying Creditors collectively shall be entitled to exercise the Appointment Right in the manner specified herein in order to replace the outgoing Independent Observer. |
| | |
Certain Additional Rights | | The Qualifying Creditors shall be entitled to certain additional rights with respect to their indirect equity interests in New Propco Holdco, which rights shall be memorialized in the operating agreement of New Propco Holdco, an equityholders agreement or a separate agreement with or through Blockerco. Such rights, which may in some instances overlap with other contemplated rights of the Opco Unsecured Creditors specified herein, shall be limited to (i) customary piggyback registration rights, (ii) the tag-along rights described under “Tag-Along Rights,” (iii) with respect to the Qualifying Creditors that own at least .5% of the outstanding New Propco Holdco Equity, the preemptive rights described under “Post-Effective Investment Right,” (iv) with respect to 2.5% Holders, the rights of first refusal described under “Rights of First Refusal,” (v) the ability to vote through pass-through voting arrangements at Blockerco on certain matters submitted to all voting equityholders of New Propco Holdco and (vi) the right to an Independent Observer as provided under “Board Observation Rights;” provided, however, that such rights under clauses (v) and (vi) shall in no event be deemed to include any other rights set forth under the caption entitled “Corporate Governance” in the Propco Term Sheet or on Annex 7 to the Propco Term Sheet, including, without limitation, any inspection rights (other than limited inspection rights required under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act to be granted to equityholders) or Board designation rights. The organizational documents of New Propco Holdco will provide for (x) the making of distributions to equityholders of amounts estimated to be necessary to pay taxes (including estimated taxes) on taxable income allocated to them by New Propco Holdco from time to time (taking into account losses or other tax benefits previously allocated and subject to the availability of distributable cash and compliance with credit or other agreements relating to New Propco Holdco or any of its affiliates (which agreements shall permit such tax distributions except during the continuation of an event of default but without any requirement to permit distributions with respect to income attributable to a subsidiary if such subsidiary does not make such a tax distribution)) and (y) distribution to equityholders of annual and quarterly consolidated balance sheets, income statements, statements of cash flows and (in the case of annual periods) statements of changes in members’ equity of New Propco Holdco if they are not publicly available (including any audit report with respect thereto if such an audit report is prepared), subject to reasonable confidentiality provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the preceding rights, other than the registration rights, shall terminate upon the occurrence of a bona fide public offering of at least 15% of the New |
14
| | Propco Holdco Equity. In connection with any initial public offering by New Propco Holdco, Blockerco shall be offered the opportunity, in its sole discretion, to engage in a merger whereby the shares of Blockerco would be converted into shares of the entity going public on a tax-free basis to the extent permitted by applicable law. |
| | |
| | The New Propco Holdco Equity and the New Propco Holdco Warrants (and the equity interests issuable upon the exercise thereof) issued through Blockerco to the Qualifying Creditors shall also be subject to (i) certain drag-along duties with respect to such securities, (ii) a prohibition on transfer for six months following the Effective Date and certain other limitations on transfer pursuant to applicable gaming and securities laws, (iii) an obligation to provide a right of first refusal with respect to such securities to FG/Propco Lenders and any other parties so provided for in the equityholders agreement of New Propco Holdco and (iv) obligations substantially similar to the obligations set forth under the caption entitled “Corporate Governance” in the Propco Term Sheet, including, a prohibition on selling any such securities without the consent of the other equityholders to any “strategic buyer” listed on Annex 6 to the Propco Term Sheet. |
| | |
Compliance with Gaming Law Requirements | | Opco Unsecured Creditors receiving New Propco Holdco Warrants or New Propco Holdco Equity through Blockerco will be required to furnish all information concerning themselves and their direct and indirect owners as shall be required under applicable gaming laws. |
| | |
Gaming Redemptions | | The New Propco Holdco Equity, the New Propco Holdco Warrants and the equity interests for which the New Propco Holdco Warrants are exercisable, in each case, issued to the Opco Unsecured Creditors through Blockerco as contemplated herein, shall be subject to certain mandatory disposition and redemption requirements pursuant to applicable gaming laws and regulations. |
| | |
Representations and Warranties | | Customary representations and warranties of Blockerco and the Opco Unsecured Creditors, including, without limitation, those representations and warranties described below under the caption entitled “Conditions” and any as may be required from time to time under applicable securities laws. |
| | |
Documentary Review Rights | | Opco will utilize its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the UCC and its designated counsel for their review draft copies of pleadings and filings (including, without limitation, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and any motions or other filings seeking approval of the UCC Stipulation or seeking approval of Opco’s contemplated payment of certain legal fees and expenses as provided herein) (the “Relevant Pleadings”) relating to the consideration contemplated to be made available to the Opco Unsecured Creditors hereunder or the other terms hereof prior to the filing by the Debtors of such pleadings and filings with the Bankruptcy Court. Designated counsel to the UCC shall be entitled to proffer to Opco, through Opco’s |
15
| | counsel, reasonable comments with respect to the Relevant Pleadings. Provided that they are timely delivered to Opco through its counsel, Opco shall give such comments its reasonable consideration, it being understood and agreed that Opco shall in no event have any obligation to accept such comments or otherwise incorporate the same into the Relevant Pleadings. In addition, in the event that the Debtors request a determination from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) concerning the application of certain tax laws and regulations to their proposed restructuring, Opco shall furnish a copy of the documentation evidencing such request to the UCC and its counsel promptly following the submission thereof to the IRS; provided, however, that Opco shall be entitled to redact from such documentation any confidential or privileged information contained therein prior to furnishing such documentation to the UCC and its counsel. Subject to the proviso set forth in the preceding sentence, Opco shall furnish to the UCC and its counsel promptly after delivery of the executed UCC Stipulation a copy of the current draft of such documentation described in the preceding sentence. |

| | |
| | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Opco Unsecured Creditors to receive the New Propco Holdco Warrants and the other terms of this proposal not relating to the Propco Rights Offering shall not be subject to clauses (i), (iv) (to the extent it relates only to the Propco Rights Offering, including the Tax Condition to such extent), (v) (to the extent it relates only to the Support Agreement), (vi) (to the extent it relates only to the Propco Rights Offering) and (ix). |
17
| | It shall be a condition to an Opco Unsecured Creditor’s receipt of the New Propco Holdco Warrants that such Opco Unsecured Creditor shall represent and warrant, on the Effective Date, that it has no present plan or intention as of the Effective Date to exercise the New Propco Holdco Warrants (it being understood that an intent to exercise if the strike price is in the money due to increases in equity value after the Effective Date shall not be considered a present plan or intention), subject to future reexamination during the exercise period thereof based upon then current value information. |
| | |
| | Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the terms hereof are subject in their entirety to applicable state and federal securities laws and applicable tax limitations (including, without limitation, those relating to section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, an Opco Unsecured Creditor’s purchase of New Propco Holdco Equity through Blockerco shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A. It is understood that any liability for breach of any representations in Exhibit A shall be several and not joint and limited to the greater of (i) the initial investment by the breaching party in New Propco Holdco Equity through Blockerco and (ii) $250,000, it being understood that New Propco Holdco shall have the additional right in the case of any such breach to rescind the investment by the breaching party by paying the breaching party the amount of its investment (i.e., the amount paid less any dividends received) whereupon such breaching party shall surrender its direct or indirect equity interests in New Propco Holdco (subject to a right of the breaching party to promptly cure any immaterial breaches, if such breaches are capable of cure), provided that to the extent that an investment is rescinded, the liability for breach shall be measured giving effect to such rescission, including any liabilities or benefits incurred pursuant to the rescission. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that any and all consideration provided, directly or indirectly, to the Opco Unsecured Creditors hereunder shall be conditioned (the “Tax Condition”) on (i) the Bankruptcy Court having issued a final order in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders, including as to tax matters, and (ii) the IRS having issued a private letter ruling to Opco, in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders, regarding the application of Section 267 of the Code to the transactions contemplated by the Plan, including, without limitation, if the Stalking Horse Bidder is the Successful Bidder (each as defined in the Plan), the transactions contemplated by the Stalking Horse APA (as defined in the Plan, the “Stalking Horse APA”). If the Debtors, FG or the Propco Lenders determine, in their sole discretion, that such order or ruling is likely not to be issued by reason of any of the terms described herein (including, without limitation, a requirement that the Debtors, FG or the Propco Lenders provide a representation to the IRS or the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the direct |
18
| | or indirect ownership of New Propco Holdco or the Debtors by or through the Opco Unsecured Creditors or the Put Parties that cannot be fully supported by the representations described in Exhibit A), such terms, including without limitation the terms set forth in Exhibit A, shall be modified as the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders deem necessary (including, without limitation, the elimination of any equity issuances or modifications of the terms of such equity) to enable the Bankruptcy Court to issue such order or the IRS to issue such ruling; provided, that if such modifications or the terms of any such Bankruptcy Court order or IRS private letter ruling are materially adverse to the terms of the arrangements described herein related to the Opco Unsecured Creditors, the UCC may terminate any agreements entered into that embody this summary of terms and, if such modifications or the terms of any such Bankruptcy Court order or IRS private letter ruling are materially adverse to the rights of the Put Parties, the Put Parties may terminate the Propco Commitment. In the event of a termination of the arrangements contemplated hereby with respect to the Put Parties arising from the Tax Condition (including, without limitation, a termination by the Put Parties arising from a materially adverse modification of the terms herein relating to the Put Parties), which in any such case results from the failure of the Debtors, FG or the Propco Lenders to act reasonably with respect to the Tax Condition (it being understood that the unwillingness of the Debtors, FG or the Propco Lenders to proceed if the final order of the Bankruptcy Court does not contain the findings described in the Confirmation Order (as defined in the Stalking Horse APA, the “Confirmation Order”) shall be deemed to be reasonable), then each Put Party whose Propco Commitment has been terminated shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to 1.333 times the portion of the Put Premium attributable to its terminated Propco Commitment; provided, that no payment shall be due unless the UCC Stipulation remains in effect through the Effective Date. |
| | |
| | This summary of terms assumes that the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the UCC (and its legal advisors and financial advisor) and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Put Parties (and their legal advisors), up to an amount to be mutually agreed by the Debtors, FG/Propco Lenders and Put Parties, shall be paid by Opco, with respect to the fees and expenses of the UCC, and by Opco and Propco (as such term is defined in the Plan, “Propco”), with respect to the fees and expenses of the Put Parties (with Opco and Propco each paying one-half of such fees and expenses), it being understood that such expenses (other than those of the UCC, or as otherwise provided below) shall be paid only if the Effective Date occurs; provided, that the agreed legal expenses of the Put Parties shall be paid as follows: one-half of the agreed legal expenses of the Put Parties shall be paid within 15 days of the execution of the Propco Commitment and the remainder of the agreed legal expenses of the Put Parties shall be paid |
19
| | promptly after confirmation of the Plan, subject in each case to Bankruptcy Court approval, it being understood that the failure to procure a Bankruptcy Court approval shall not cause a termination of the Propco Commitment; provided, that the Debtors comply with the immediately succeeding sentence. In case such Bankruptcy Court approval is not received, the parties shall negotiate alternate arrangements with respect to Opco’s and Propco’s payment of such legal expenses. The Debtors shall promptly file for, and use reasonable efforts to, seek the entry of an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing payment by the Debtors of the first one-half of the agreed legal expenses within 15 days after the Propco Commitment is executed and the balance at confirmation of the Plan. |
| | |
| | This summary of terms also assumes that the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the trustees for the outstanding unsecured notes of Opco (including the legal fees and expenses) in an amount to be mutually agreed by the Debtors, FG/Propco Lenders and the respective indenture trustees, or as otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be paid by Opco upon confirmation of the Plan (with respect to amounts accrued), and with respect to fees and expenses incurred between confirmation of the Plan and the Effective Date, shall be paid by Opco on the Effective Date, subject in each case to Bankruptcy Court approval to be included in the Confirmation Order (it being understood that (i) such “reasonable” fees and expenses shall not include any legal fees or expenses incurred by the trustees after the date hereof in opposing implementation of the terms hereof (including confirmation of the Plan) or engaging in litigation activity against any of the Debtors, FG or the Propco Lenders, or any of their respective affiliates and (ii) the failure to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval to pay such fees and expenses upon Plan confirmation shall not cause a termination of the UCC Stipulation, so long as such fees and expenses are paid on the Effective Date.) |
| | |
Non-Solicitation | | This summary of terms is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for votes in favor of any Chapter 11 plan or for consent to the Plan and, if applicable, a Propco-only plan (collectively, the “Plans”) in contravention of applicable non-bankruptcy law or section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the acceptance of any person shall not be solicited until, and any obligation to support confirmation of the Plans is expressly conditioned on, the receipt by such person of the Plans and a copy of the disclosure statements that shall have previously been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing, as containing adequate information as required by section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, nothing in this summary of terms or any related definitive documentation shall require any person to take any action prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any rule or regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing, any |
20
| | other applicable law or regulation or any order or direction of any court or any state or federal governmental authority. |
| | |
Confidentiality | | The terms and conditions of this summary of terms, the identities of participants in discussions relating hereto and the existence of such discussions are confidential and no party receiving a copy hereof shall disclose any of the foregoing to anyone; provided, however, that such parties may disclose such information to their respective legal and financial advisors as necessary in connection with their evaluation of the proposed terms; provided, further, that such advisors are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to comply with the non-disclosure provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall be permitted to file this document with the Bankruptcy Court, and the confidentiality obligations provided herein will be of no further effect after this document is so filed. |
21
Exhibit A
· The Opco Unsecured Creditors and, possibly, participating lenders (“Mezzanine Creditors”) under the Prepetition Mezzanine Loans (as such term is defined in the Plan) would form a domestic C corporation or limited liability company taxable as a corporation (“Blockerco”) to hold the New Propco Holdco Warrants and any New Propco Holdco Equity. There may be more than one Blockerco entity established, each of which shall be considered as “Blockerco” hereunder.
· The New Propco Holdco Warrants and rights to acquire New Propco Holdco Equity in the Propco Rights Offering would be issued directly to Blockerco; Blockerco would issue mirror warrants and rights to acquire equity in Blockerco to the Opco Unsecured Creditors; similar arrangements may be implemented for Mezzanine Creditors based on their rights to purchase equity in New Propco Holdco.
· Blockerco would function as the Put Party, subject to the Put Parties duly executing and delivering a mirror commitment to acquire equity in Blockerco to fund Blockerco’s commitment.
· Blockerco would have the right to raise funds, on a pro rata basis (it being understood that shareholders of Blockerco would be required to subscribe for their pro rata percentage of these securities), for purchase of New Propco Holdco Equity through issuance of debt or warrants (to purchase Blockerco’s underlying New Propco Holdco Equity) for cash (provided that the Put Parties agree on such capital structure).
· No numerical limit or restriction on non-U.S. holders of Blockerco.
· Blockerco would agree that any equity held by it in New Propco Holdco would be voted only in the respective amounts so directed by the individual holders of equity in Blockerco.
· Reasonable administrative costs of the single principal Blockerco entity (including annual state corporate franchise fees, the costs of preparing reports to holders, preparing tax returns and dealing with warrant exercises, transfers, etc. but excluding the costs associated with any tax mitigation strategies) would be reimbursed by New Propco Holdco up to an amount to be agreed upon in the definitive documents. The costs associated with any additional Blockerco entities shall not be borne by New Propco Holdco.
· An Opco Unsecured Creditor or Mezzanine Creditor would be required to provide a representation at the time of its commitment and on the Effective Date, that it has no present plan or intention as of such date (i) to exercise the New Propco Holdco Warrants (it being understood that an intent to exercise if the strike price is in the money due to increases in equity value after the Effective Date shall not be considered a present plan or intention), subject to future reexamination during the exercise period thereof based upon then current value information or (ii) to acquire any New Propco Holdco Equity (either directly or through Blockerco) or any interest in Blockerco from any other holder thereof (it being understood that an intent to acquire in the event of an opportunity arising after the Effective Date that is not part of a commitment, arrangement or understanding existing prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered a present plan or intention).
22
· Any Opco Unsecured Creditor or Mezzanine Creditor who would directly own 5 percent or more in value of the stock of Blockerco (“Large Investor”) would be required to provide the following:
· A representation that, based on the Large Investor’s Actual Knowledge (as defined below), the Equity List (as defined below) identifies any equity interest through which such Large Investor could own, through Colony funds to be identified or Axon Rising Sun, LLC, any stock of Opco (for purposes of Section 267 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder).
· A representation that the Large Investor has provided the Clearinghouse (i) a list accurately reflecting its records of record owners owning a direct interest of 5% or more of the Large Investor and (ii) to the Actual Knowledge of the Large Investor, the list provided in (i) above (expanded at the time the representation is made, to the extent necessary, to reflect any additional persons in (x) or (y) below) identifies (x) any record owners of 5 percent or more of such Large Investor and (y) any Upper-Tier 5% Investors (as defined below) of such Large Investor. In applying the foregoing, for any Large Investor that is a mutual fund, relying upon the precise name of the account registration for each record owner and for any Large Investor that is a partnership, such ownership being measured using K-1 reporting criteria, and it being understood that any flaw in the Large Investor’s records shall not constitute a breach hereof.
· A representation that the Large Investor has provided the Clearinghouse a list (the “Equity List”) accurately reflecting its records of all equity interests in other persons directly held by the Large Investor (except for any wholly-owned subsidiaries which do not own any direct or indirect equity interests in any other person (other than any equity interest in another such direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary)).
· A Large Investor’s ability to acquire New Propco Holdco Equity (other than Blockerco warrants or equity acquired upon exercise of the Blockerco warrants) would be conditioned upon verification by Ernst & Young LLP or such other nationally recognized accounting or financial advisory or consulting firm acceptable to Fidelity, OakTree, Serengeti, Debtors and FG/Propco (the “Clearinghouse”) that, based solely on information received from all the Large Investors and the Small Investors (as defined below), and assuming such information is true, correct and complete, there is no evidence that (i) the Large Investor owns, directly or indirectly, any interest in the stock of Opco for purposes of Section 267 of the Code and (ii) any of the Upper-Tier 5% Investors of such Large Investor own, directly or indirectly (for purposes of Section 267 of the Code, applying the limitations in Section 267(e)(3)(A) and (B) of the Code), 5 percent or more in value of the stock of Blockerco (it being understood that the Clearinghouse has no obligation to independently determine the identities of Upper-Tier 5% Investors of such Large Investor).
· To the extent the Clearinghouse can verify item (i), but not item (ii), the Large Investor would have the right (but not the obligation) to invest if it provides the Clearinghouse any and all information that the Clearinghouse may request (including representations from any Upper-Tier 5% Investor), necessary for the Clearinghouse to verify that an Upper-Tier 5% Investor will not be treated as an owner of both Opco and New Propco Holdco for purposes of Section 267 of the Code.
23
· To the extent the Clearinghouse determines that a Large Investor owns an interest in the stock of Opco for purposes of Section 267 of the Code (an “Overlapping Large Investor”) and that ownership percentage can be determined based on the information in the possession of the Clearinghouse, the Large Investor would be entitled to acquire New Propco Holdco Equity (without the requirement of making the first representation set forth above) if the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders determine, in their sole discretion, that an investment by such Overlapping Large Investor will not cause the same persons to own more than 50 percent in the value of the stock of Opco and more than 50 percent of the capital interest or the profits interest in New Propco Holdco within the meaning of Section 267 of the Code. If there is more than one Overlapping Large Investor (or another potential investor that creates an overlap), the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders may make such determination on an individual basis using whatever criteria they deem reasonable (including, without limitation, the percentage ownership of the Overlapping Large Investor or other investor, the quality of the information used to determine such percentage ownership, and the likelihood of such percentage ownership increasing between the time of such determination and the Effective Date).
· Any Opco Unsecured Creditor or Mezzanine Creditor who would directly own less than 5 percent in value of the stock of Blockerco (“Small Investor”) would be required to provide the following:
· (i) A representation that such Small Investor does not own directly 5 percent or more in value of the stock of Blockerco and, (ii) (A) a list accurately reflecting its records of all equity interests in other persons directly held by the Small Investor (except for any wholly-owned subsidiaries which do not own any direct or indirect equity interests in any other person (other than any equity interest in another such direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary)) and a representation that, based on the Small Investor’s Actual Knowledge, such list identifies any equity interests through which such Small Investor could own stock of Blockerco (for purposes of Section 267 of the Code, applying the limitations in Section 267(e)(3)(A) and (B) of the Code), or (B) a representation that to the Actual Knowledge of the Small Investor, such Small Investor does not own indirectly (for purposes of Section 267 of the Code, applying the limitations in Section 267(e)(3)(A) and (B) of the Code) 5 percent or more in value of the stock of Blockerco.
· A representation that the Small Investor has provided the Clearinghouse (i) a list accurately reflecting its records of record owners owning a direct interest of 5% or more of the Small Investor and (ii) to the Actual Knowledge of the Small Investor, the list provided in (i) above (expanded at the time the representation is made, to the extent necessary, to reflect any additional persons in (x) or (y) below) identifies (x) any record owners of 5 percent or more of such Small Investor and (y) any Upper-Tier 5% Investors of that Small Investor. In applying the foregoing, for any Small Investor that is a mutual fund, relying upon the precise name of the account registration for each record owner and for any Small Investor that is a partnership, such ownership is measured using K-1 reporting criteria and it being understood that any flaw in the Small Investor’s records shall not constitute a breach hereof.
24
· A Small Investor’s ability to acquire New Propco Holdco Equity (other than Blockerco warrants or equity acquired upon exercise of the Blockerco warrants) would be conditioned upon verification by the Clearinghouse that, based solely on information received from all the Large Investors and the Small Investors, and assuming such information is true, correct and complete, there is no evidence that any of the Upper-Tier 5% Investors of such Small Investor own, directly or indirectly (for purposes of Section 267 of the Code, applying the limitations in Section 267(e)(3)(A) and (B) of the Code), 5 percent or more in value of the stock of Blockerco (it being understood that the Clearinghouse has no obligation to independently determine the identities of Upper-Tier 5% Investors of such Small Investor).
· To the extent the Clearinghouse cannot so verify, the Small Investor would have the right (but not the obligation) to invest if it provides the Clearinghouse any and all information that the Clearinghouse may request (including representations from any Upper-Tier 5% Investor), necessary for the Clearinghouse to verify that an Upper-Tier 5% Investor will not be treated as an owner of both Opco and New Propco Holdco for purposes of Section 267 of the Code.
· To the extent the Clearinghouse determines that an Upper-Tier 5% Investor of a Small Investor owns an interest in the stock of Opco for purposes of Section 267 of the Code (an “Overlapping Upper-Tier 5% Investor of the Small Investor”) and that ownership percentage can be determined based on the information in the possession of the Clearinghouse, the Upper-Tier 5% Investor of the Small Investor would be entitled to acquire New Propco Holdco Equity (without the requirement of making the first representation set forth above) if the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders determine, in their sole discretion, that an investment by such Overlapping Upper-Tier 5% Investor of the Small Investor will not cause the same persons to own more than 50 percent in the value of the stock of Opco and more than 50 percent of the capital interest or the profits interest in New Propco Holdco within the meaning of Section 267 of the Code. If there is more than one Overlapping Upper-Tier 5% Investor of the Small Investor (or another potential investor that creates an overlap), the Debtors and FG/Propco Lenders may make such determination on an individual basis using whatever criteria they deem reasonable (including, without limitation, the percentage ownership of the Overlapping Upper-Tier 5% Investor of the Small Investor or other investor, the quality of the information used to determine such percentage ownership, and the likelihood of such percentage ownership increasing between the time of such determination and the Effective Date.)
· Any Large Investor’s or Small Investor’s ability to invest may be conditioned on entering into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with the Clearinghouse, and executing a hold-harmless letter and, if such Large Investor or Small Investor is a client of the Clearinghouse, a conflict waiver provided by the Clearinghouse, all based on customary terms.
· A Large Investor or a Small Investor shall only be required to provide the Clearinghouse the information set forth in this Exhibit A (including, without limitation, the identity of any person or any investment) if the Clearinghouse first agrees in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Large Investor or Small Investor, to keep all such information confidential. Absent written consent
25
from the relevant Large Investor or Small Investor, the Clearinghouse shall not request information of or regarding (i) a person owning 5% or more of a Large Investor or a Small Investor or (ii) an Upper-Tier 5% Investor of a Large Investor or a Small Investor by contacting a person described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence based on information supplied by the Large Investor or Small Investor, but instead all requests for information of or regarding such a person shall be submitted directly and solely to the relevant Large Investor or Small Investor.
· For purposes of Exhibit A, (i) Actual Knowledge means actual knowledge (without duty of inquiry, investigation or validation) of the appropriate persons who would normally be responsible for maintaining such information (it being understood that in the case of the Fidelity funds, such person will be the person executing such definitive documents), and such persons will be identified in the definitive documents and (ii) Upper-Tier 5% Investor means a person owning an indirect beneficial interest of 5% or more of a Large Investor or Small Investor as the case may be.
· The representations and information described above will be required to be provided (i) in the case of a Blockerco Put Party, at the time of its commitment and (ii) in the case of any other Large Investor or Small Investor, at the time it elects to purchase equity in Blockerco. All Large Investors and Small Investors will be required to reaffirm such representations and information as of the Effective Date. To the extent the required representations or verifications cannot be made on the Effective Date for whatever reason, the parties shall enter into appropriate escrow or other arrangements to permit funding pending confirmation of such information and if such representations or verifications cannot be finalized for whatever reason, the investment shall be rescinded and any funds shall be returned to such Blockerco Put Party and such Blockerco Put Party shall have no liability as a result thereof other than the return of any Put Premium in the case of a breach of, or failure to make, a representation or verification to the extent such return is required under “Pricing in Propco Rights Offering; Put Premium.”

AGREEMENT
1. Committee Obligations
The Committee hereby agrees that it will:
(a) cease and desist, and seek appropriate stays of, all litigation activity of any kind or description (including, without limitation, with respect to any and all Going Private Transaction Causes of Action (as defined in the Plan) or any other claims relating to, or arising out of, directly or indirectly, the Going Private Transaction (as defined in the Plan)) and related pleadings (including any pending appeals) involving any Debtor Party or any affiliate thereof, FG, the Propco Lenders, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Deutsche Bank Securities and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A., Frank J. Fertitta III, Lorenzo J. Fertitta or the lenders under the Prepetition Mezzanine Loans (as such term is defined in the Plan) and to refrain from hereafter engaging in any such litigation activity (including appeals) and/or filing any related pleadings in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any other matter relating, directly or indirectly, thereto (whether such matter is before the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise), including, without limitation, the Standing Motion, the Bidding Procedures Appeal, the Disclosure Statement Objection, and any pleadings or appeals related to the Second Amended MLCA (provided that the Committee may take only those actions necessary in order to preserve or perfect the Second Amended MLCA Appeal, including the filing of the designation of the record on appeal and the statement of the issues to be presented) (collectively, the “Litigation Actions”);
(b) upon the occurrence of the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan), withdraw each and every Litigation Action with prejudice and file appropriate dismissals for any and all Litigation Action (including, without limitation, with respect to any and all appeal rights the Committee may have been permitted to preserve or perfect pursuant to Section 1(a)); and
(c) provide a letter for inclusion in the plan solicitation materials (or statement to be included in the Disclosure Statement) from the Committee recommending that all Opco Unsecured Creditors vote to accept the Amended Plan in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, FG and the Propco Lenders.
2. Termination.
(a) The Committee may terminate this Agreement by providing two (2) business days advance written notice to the Debtors, the Propco Lenders, FG and the Put Purchasers if the Committee determines that its fiduciary duties require it to act or refrain from acting contrary to its obligations under this Agreement, provided that the failure to obtain class
2
acceptance of one or more classes of Opco Unsecured Creditors shall not be a basis to terminate this Agreement on fiduciary duty or any other grounds.
(b) The Debtors may terminate this Agreement by providing two (2) business days advance notice to the Committee, the Propco Lenders, FG and the Put Purchasers if the Committee breaches its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Except as provided in Section 3(b) below, this Agreement shall terminate, without notice, if any condition set forth in the Term Sheet is not satisfied in accordance with its terms unless otherwise waived by mutual agreement of the Committee, the Debtors, FG and the Propco Lenders.
3. Effect of Termination and Certain Other Events.
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that:
(a) in the event this Agreement is terminated, the Debtors shall modify the Amended Plan (as amended to reflect the Term Sheet) to eliminate all consideration being offered to the Opco Unsecured Creditors as specified in the Term Sheet; and
(b) this Agreement shall not terminate as a result of the Propco Commitment having been terminated, the failure of the Put Purchasers to satisfy any condition or obligation specified in the Term Sheet relating to the Propco Commitment or the Support Agreement having been terminated, it being understood and agreed that in the event that any of the foregoing events occurs, so long as this Agreement remains in effect and the Debtor Parties have determined not to effect the rights offering (and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the Term Sheet that do not relate to the Propco Commitment, the Support Agreement or the obligations of the Put Parties), the Amended Plan shall be modified to eliminate the rights offering specified in the Term Sheet but shall continue to provide for distribution of New Propco Holdco Warrants to Opco Unsecured Creditors (on the terms specified in the Term Sheet) and the Committee shall continue to support confirmation of the Amended Plan as so modified, including the settlement of the Going Private Transaction Causes of Action and the releases as currently provided in the Plan.
