HARRAH’S ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS –

MARCH 31, 2010

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Organization

Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. (“Harrah’s Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us,” and including our subsidiaries where the context requires) is a Delaware corporation. As of March 31, 2010, we owned, operated or managed 52 casinos, in seven countries, but primarily in the United States and England. Our casino entertainment facilities operate primarily under the Harrah’s, Caesars and Horseshoe brand names in the United States. Our casino entertainment facilities include 33 land-based casinos, 12 riverboat or dockside casinos, three managed casinos on Indian lands in the United States, one managed casino in Canada, one combination thoroughbred racetrack and casino, one combination greyhound racetrack and casino, and one combination harness racetrack and casino. Our 33 land-based casinos include one in Uruguay, nine in England, one in Scotland, two in Egypt and one in South Africa. We view each property as an operating segment and aggregate all operating segments into one reporting segment.

On January 28, 2008, Harrah’s Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) and TPG Capital, LP (“TPG”) in an all cash transaction, hereinafter referred to as the “Acquisition.” Harrah’s Entertainment continued as the same legal entity after the Acquisition. As a result of the Acquisition, the issued and outstanding shares of non-voting common stock and non-voting preferred stock of Harrah’s Entertainment are owned by entities affiliated with Apollo, TPG, certain co-investors and members of management, and the issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock of Harrah’s Entertainment are owned by Hamlet Holdings LLC, which is owned by certain individuals affiliated with Apollo and TPG. As a result of the Acquisition, our stock is no longer publicly traded.

We have recast certain amounts for prior periods to conform to our 2010 presentation.

Note 2—Acquisition of Planet Hollywood

On February 19, 2010, Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. (“HOC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., acquired 100% of the equity interests of PHW Las Vegas, LLC (“PHW Las Vegas”), which owns and operates the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino (“Planet Hollywood”) located in Las Vegas, Nevada. PHW Las Vegas is an unrestricted subsidiary of HOC and therefore not a borrower under HOC’s credit facilities.

In connection with this transaction, PHW Las Vegas assumed a $554.3 million, face value, senior secured loan, and a subsidiary of Harrah’s Operating cancelled certain debt issued by PHW Las Vegas’ predecessor entities. In connection with the transaction and the assumption of debt, PHW Las Vegas entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”) as discussed in Note 5, Debt, below.

The Company purchased and paid approximately $67 million for its initial debt investment in certain predecessor entities of PHW Las Vegas during the second half of 2009. As a result of the cancellation of our debt investment in such predecessor entities of PHW Las Vegas in exchange for the equity of PHW Las Vegas, the Company recognized a gain of $7.1 million to adjust our investment to reflect the estimated fair value of consideration paid for the acquisition. This gain is reflected in Other income, including interest income, in our Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Also, as a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired the net cash balance of PHW Las Vegas, resulting in a positive cash flow of $13.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Net revenues and income from continuing operations before income taxes (excluding transaction costs associated with the acquisition) of Planet Hollywood subsequent to the date of acquisition through March 31, 2010 of $26.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, are included in consolidated results from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. PHW Las Vegas does not meet the definition of “significant subsidiary” under regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as a result, pro forma information for periods prior to the acquisition of PHW Las Vegas is not provided.

Purchase Accounting

The Company accounted for the acquisition of PHW Las Vegas in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” under which the purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated based upon preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess of estimated fair value over net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The preliminary purchase price allocation includes assets and liabilities of PHW Las Vegas as follows:

Note 3—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) launched the accounting standards codification (“ASC”); a structural overhaul to U.S. GAAP that changes from a standards-based model (with thousands of individual standards) to a topical based model. For final consensuses that have been ratified by the FASB, the ASC will be updated with an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) reference, which is assigned a number that corresponds to the year and that individual ASU’s place within the progression (e.g., 2010—1 will be the first ASU issued in 2010). ASUs will replace accounting changes that historically were issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”), FASB Interpretations (“FIN,”) FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs,”) or other types of FASB Standards.

The following are accounting standards adopted or issued during 2010 that could have an impact on our Company.

We adopted the provision of ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events”, on March 1, 2010. This update adds a definition of the term “SEC filer” to the ASC Master Glossary and removes the definition of “public entity” from the ASC 855 Glossary. Also, the update requires (1) SEC filers and (2) conduit debt obligors for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to “evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.” All other entities are required to “evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.” In addition; the update exempts SEC filers from disclosing the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Because ASU No. 2010-09 applies only to financial statement disclosures, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We adopted the provision of ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements”, on February 1, 2010. This update adds new requirements for disclosure about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements, and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair

value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Further, the ASU amends guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets under ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits,” to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. Because ASU No. 2010-06 applies only to financial statement disclosures, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17 (ASC Topic 810), “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” which is effective as of January 1, 2010. The new standard amends existing consolidation guidance for variable interest entities and requires a company to perform a qualitative analysis when determining whether it must consolidate a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the company that has both the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-17, we have two joint ventures which were consolidated within our financial statements for all periods prior to December 31, 2009, and are no longer consolidated beginning in January 2010. The deconsolidation of these two joint ventures resulted in a reduction of our cash balances of $7.9 million, shown as an operating outflow of cash in our statement of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Net revenues and operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 for these two joint ventures were approximately $8.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As a result, we believe the adoption of ASU 2009-17 was not material to our financial statements.

Note 4—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We account for our goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangible Assets – Goodwill and Other,” which provides guidance regarding the recognition and measurement of intangible assets, eliminates the amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets and requires assessments for impairment of intangible assets that are not subject to amortization at least annually.

The following table sets forth changes in our goodwill and other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

The aggregate amortization of intangible assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $42.7 million. Estimated annual amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 is, $160.3 million, $155.8 million, $154.4 million, $152.1 million and $141.9 million, respectively. These amounts do not include amortization expense on the preliminary balances of amortizable intangible assets for PHW Las Vegas, pending finalization of the purchase price allocation. Such amounts are not expected to be material.

On April 16, 2010, Harrah’s Operating Escrow LLC and Harrah’s Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of HOC, completed the offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.75% second-priority senior secured notes due 2018. In connection with the issuance of the notes, on April 16, 2010, HOC delivered notices of redemption (each, a “Redemption Notice”, and collectively, the “Redemption Notices”) to the holders of HOC’s currently outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “5.50% Notes”), 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “8.0% Notes”) and 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “8.125% Notes” and, collectively with the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, the “2010/2011 Notes”). The Redemption Notices provide for HOC’s redemption on May 20, 2010 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the terms of the indentures relating to the 2010/2011 Notes, of all $17.6 million of 8.125% Notes, $191.6 million of 5.50% Notes and $13.2 million of 8.0% Notes at a redemption price of (a) in the case of the 8.125% Notes, 100% of the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes to be redeemed plus the Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the indenture relating to the 8.125% Notes), and (b) in the case of each of the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of such Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus, in the case of both (a) and (b), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

Credit Agreement and Incremental Facility Amendment

In connection with the Acquisition, HOC entered into the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment’s other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own properties that are security for certain real estate loans (the “CMBS Financing”) and certain of HOC’s subsidiaries that are unrestricted subsidiaries. In late 2009, HOC completed cash tender offers for certain of its outstanding debt, and in connection with these tender offers, HOC borrowed $1,000 million of new term loans under its Credit Facilities pursuant to an incremental amendment (the “Incremental Loans”).

As of March 31, 2010, our Credit Facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $8,457.6 million, consisting of (i) senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $6,827.6 million with $5,830.1 million maturing on January 20, 2015 and $997.5 million maturing on October 31, 2016, and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,630.0 million, maturing January 28, 2014, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. The term loans under the Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments of $7.5 million, with the balance due at maturity. A total of $7,327.6 million face amount of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2010, with an additional $133.5 million committed to letters of credit. After consideration of these borrowings and letters of credit, $996.5 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to the Company under its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2010.

Interest and Fees

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities, other than borrowings under the Incremental Loans, bear interest at a rate equal to the then-current LIBOR rate or at a rate equal to the alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2010, the Credit Facilities, other than borrowings under the Incremental Loans, bore interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points for the term loans and a portion of the revolver loan, 150 basis points over the alternate base rate for the swingline loan and at the alternate base rate plus 200 basis points for the remainder of the revolver loan.

Borrowings under the Incremental Loans bear interest at a rate equal to either the alternate base rate or the greater of i) the then-current LIBOR rate or ii) 2.0%; in each case plus an applicable margin. At March 31, 2010, borrowings under the Incremental Loans bore interest at the minimum base rate of 2.0%, plus 750 basis points.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, we are required to pay each lender (i) a commitment fee in respect of any unborrowed amounts under the revolving credit facility and (ii) a letter of credit fee in respect of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2010, the Credit Facilities bore a commitment fee for unborrowed amounts of 50 basis points.

We make monthly interest payments on our CMBS Financing. Our outstanding notes (secured and unsecured) have semi-annual interest payments, with the majority of those payments on June 15 and December 15.

A change in interest rates on variable-rate debt will impact our financial results. For example, assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate debt, excluding the $5,810 million of variable-rate debt for which our interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, for the next twelve months, a hypothetical 1% increase in corresponding interest rates would change interest expense for the twelve months following March 31, 2010 by approximately $66.4 million. At March 31, 2010, the three-month USD LIBOR rate was 0.268%. A hypothetical reduction of this rate to 0% would decrease interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $17.8 million. At March 31, 2010, our variable-rate debt, excluding the aforementioned $5,810 million of variable-rate debt hedged against interest rate swap agreements, represents approximately 39.5% of our total debt, while our fixed-rate debt is approximately 60.5% of our total debt.

Collateral and Guarantors

HOC’s Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment, and are secured by a pledge of HOC’s capital stock and by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of HOC and its material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries other than certain unrestricted subsidiaries, including a pledge of the capital stock of HOC’s material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries, in each case subject to exceptions. The following casino properties have mortgages under the Credit Facilities:

Additionally, certain undeveloped land in Las Vegas also is mortgaged.

Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters

The Credit Facilities require compliance on a quarterly basis with a maximum net senior secured first lien debt leverage test. In addition, the Credit Facilities include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting HOC’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions (iv) make certain investments, loans and advances; (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire all or any substantial part of assets of any other person; (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; (viii) engage in any business other than the business activity conducted at the closing date of the loan or business activities incidental or related thereto; (ix) amend or modify the articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws and certain agreements or make certain payments or modifications of indebtedness; and (x) designate or permit the designation of any indebtedness as “Designated Senior Debt”.

Harrah’s Entertainment is not bound by any financial or negative covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement, other than with respect to the incurrence of liens on and the pledge of its stock of HOC.

All borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the requirement that such borrowing does not reduce the amount of obligations otherwise permitted to be secured under our new senior secured credit facilities without ratably securing the retained notes.

Certain covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement require the maintenance of a senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the agreements, ratio (“Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”). The June 3, 2009 amendment and waiver to our credit agreement excludes from the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (a) the $1,375.0 million first lien notes issued June 15, 2009 and the $720.0 million first lien notes issued on September 11, 2009 and (b) up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not

wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities, the indenture and other agreements governing HOC’s 10.0% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and 2018, and our first lien notes restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet defined Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges, senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratios. The covenants that restrict additional indebtedness and the ability to make future acquisitions require an LTM Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio (measured on a trailing four-quarter basis) of 2.0:1.0. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions.

The indenture governing the 10.75% Senior Notes, 10.75%/11.5% Senior Toggle Notes and the agreements governing the other cash pay debt and PIK toggle debt limit HOC’s (and most of its subsidiaries’) ability to among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) with respect to HOC only, engage in any business or own any material asset other than all of the equity interest of HOC so long as certain investors hold a majority of the notes; (vi) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting its restricted subsidiaries; (vii) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (viii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (ix) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; and (x) designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing the other cash pay debt and PIK toggle debt will permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

Other Financing Transactions

Acquisition of Planet Hollywood

On February 19, 2010, HOC acquired 100% of the equity interests of PHW Las Vegas, which owns and operates the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In connection with this transaction, PHW Las Vegas assumed a $554.3 million, face value, senior secured loan, and a subsidiary of HOC cancelled certain debt issued by PHW Las Vegas’ predecessor entities. In connection with the transaction and the assumption of debt, PHW Las Vegas entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee for The Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-TFL2 (“Lender”). The $554.3 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.859% (the “Applicable Interest Rate”), is secured by the assets of PHW Las Vegas, and is non-recourse to other subsidiaries of the Company. PHW Las Vegas is an unrestricted subsidiary of HOC and therefore not a borrower under HOC’s credit facilities. A subsidiary of HOC manages the property for PHW Las Vegas for a fee. The maturity date for this loan is December 2011, with two extension options, which, if exercised, would extend maturity until April 2015.

Guaranty

In connection with PHW Las Vegas’ Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Harrah’s Entertainment entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) for the benefit of Lender pursuant to which Harrah’s Entertainment guaranteed to Lender certain recourse liabilities of PHW Las Vegas. Harrah’s Entertainment’s maximum aggregate liability for such recourse liabilities is limited to $30.0 million provided that such recourse liabilities of PHW Las Vegas do not arise from (i) events, acts, or circumstances that are actually committed by, or voluntarily or willfully brought about by Harrah’s Entertainment or (ii) event, acts, or circumstances (regardless of the cause of the same) that provide actual benefit (in cash, cash equivalent, or other quantifiable amount) to the Registrant, to the full extent of the actual benefit received by the Registrant. Pursuant to the Guaranty, Harrah’s Entertainment is required to maintain a net worth or liquid assets of at least $100.0 million.

Prepayments

PHW Las Vegas may, at its option, voluntarily prepay the loan in whole or in part upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to Lender.

PHW Las Vegas is required to prepay the loan in (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Lender for which Lender is not obligated to make available to PHW Las Vegas for restoration in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, (ii) the amount of any proceeds received from the operator of the timeshare property adjacent to the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, subject to the limitations set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and (iii) the amount of any excess cash remaining after application of the cash management provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

Interest Payments

On each scheduled monthly payment date prior to the maturity date, PHW Las Vegas pays to Lender interest accruing at the Applicable Interest Rate.

On March 5, 2010, we received the consent of the lenders under our CMBS financing to amend the terms of the CMBS Financing to, among other things, (i) provide our subsidiaries that are borrowers under the CMBS mortgage loan and/or related mezzanine loans (“CMBS Loans”) the right to extend the maturity of the CMBS Loans, subject to certain conditions, by up to 2 years until February 2015, (ii) amend certain terms of the CMBS Loans with respect to reserve requirements, collateral rights, property release prices and the payment of management fees, (iii) provide for ongoing mandatory offers to repurchase CMBS Loans using excess cash flow from the CMBS entities at discounted prices, (iv) provide for the amortization of the mortgage loan in certain minimum amounts upon the occurrence of certain conditions and (v) provide for certain limitations with respect to the amount of excess cash flow from the CMBS entities that may be distributed to us. Any CMBS Loan purchased pursuant to the amendments will be cancelled. The amendment to the terms of the CMBS Loans will become effective upon execution of definitive documentation.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we purchased approximately $950 million of face value of CMBS Loans for approximately $237 million. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, we have agreed to pay lenders selling CMBS Loans during the fourth quarter 2009 an additional $48 million for their loans previously sold, subject to the execution of definitive documentation for the amendment. This additional liability was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. In addition, we have agreed to purchase approximately $124 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $37 million, subject to the execution of definitive documentation for the amendment.

Derivative Instruments – Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of March 31, 2010 we have entered into 10 interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $6,500 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows. The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2010 are as follows:

The variable rate on our interest rate swap agreements did not materially change as a result of the April 26, 2010 reset.

Until October 2009, our interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. During October 2009, we borrowed $1,000 million under the Incremental Loans and used a majority of the net proceeds to temporarily repay most of our revolving debt under the Credit Facility. As a result, we no longer had a sufficient amount of outstanding debt under the same terms as our interest rate swap agreements to support hedge accounting treatment for the full $6,500 million in interest rate swaps. Thus, as of September 30, 2009, we removed the cash flow hedge designation for the $1,000 million swap agreement, freezing the amount of deferred losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income associated with this swap agreement, and reducing the total notional amount on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments to $5,500 million. Beginning October 1, 2009, we began amortizing deferred losses frozen in Other Comprehensive Income into income over the original remaining term of the hedged forecasted transactions that are still considered to be probable of occurring. We will record $8.7 million as an increase to interest expense and other comprehensive income over the next 12 months related to deferred losses on the $1,000 million interest rate swap.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we re-designated approximately $310 million of the $1,000 million swap as a cash flow hedging instrument. As a result, at March 31, 2010, $5,810 million of our total interest rate swap notional amount of $6,500 million remained designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate swap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in Interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

Derivative Instruments – Interest Rate Cap Agreements

On January 28, 2008, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the CMBS Financing. The interest rate cap agreement, which was effective January 28, 2008 and terminates February 13, 2013, is for a notional amount of $6,500 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 4.5%. The interest rate cap was designated as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes on May 1, 2008.

On November 30, 2009, we purchased and extinguished approximately $948.8 million of the CMBS Financing. The hedging relationship between the CMBS Financing and the interest rate cap has remained effective subsequent to the debt extinguishment. As a result of the extinguishment, in the fourth quarter 2009, we reclassified approximately $12.1 million of deferred losses out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into interest expense associated with hedges for which the forecasted future transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

On January 31, 2010, we removed the cash flow hedge designation for the $6,500 million interest rate cap, freezing the amount of deferred losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income associated with the interest rate cap. Beginning February 1, 2010, we began amortizing deferred losses frozen in Other Comprehensive Income into income over the original remaining term of the hedge forecasted transactions that are still probable of occurring. We will record $20.9 million as an increase to interest expense and other comprehensive income over the next 12 months related to deferred losses on the interest rate cap.

On January 31, 2010, we re-designated $4,650 million of the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate cap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in Interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

On April 5, 2010, as required under the amended and restated loan agreement, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the PHW Las Vegas senior secured loan. The interest rate cap agreement is for a notional amount of $554.3 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 5%, and matures on December 9, 2011. To give proper consideration to the prepayment requirements of the PHW Las Vegas term loan, we have designated only $525 million of the $554.3 million notional amount of the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes.

In addition to the impact on interest expense from amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income, the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense and is paid quarterly. This cash settlement portion of the interest rate swap agreements increased interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 by approximately $66.4 million and $43.2 million, respectively.

Note 6—Stock-Based Employee Compensation

As of March 31, 2010, there was approximately $68.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option grants. In 2010, our share-based compensation expense consists primarily of time-based options and performance-based options that have been granted to management, other personnel and key service providers. The Company has recognized compensation expense associated with its stock-based employee compensation programs as follows:

On February 23, 2010, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an amendment to the Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The amendment provides for an increase in the available number shares of the Registrant’s non-voting common stock for which options may be granted to 4,566,919 shares.

The amendment also revised the vesting hurdles for performance-based options under the Plan. The performance options vest if the return on investment in the Company of TPG, Apollo, and their respective affiliates and co-investors (the “Majority Stockholders”) achieve a specified return. Previously, 50% of the performance-based options vested upon a 2x return and 50% vested upon a 3x return. The triggers have been revised to 1.5x and 2.5x, respectively. In addition, a pro-rata portion of the 2.5x options will vest if the Majority Stockholders achieve a return on their investment that is greater than 2.0x, but less than 2.5x. The pro rata portion will increase on a straight line basis from zero to a participant’s total number of 2.5x options depending upon the level of returns that the Majority Stockholders realize between 2.0x and 2.5x.

Note 7—Preferred and Common Stock

Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the authorized shares of preferred stock were 40,000,000, par value $0.01 per share, stated value $100.00 per share.

On January 28, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing the creation and issuance of a series of preferred stock known as the Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock. The number of shares constituting such series was 20,000,000. Each share of non-voting preferred stock accrued dividends at a rate of 15.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, and such dividends were cumulative. As of December 31, 2009, dividends in arrears were $652.6 million.

In February 2010, the Board of Directors approved revisions to the Certificate of Designation for the non-voting perpetual preferred stock to eliminate dividends (including all existing accrued but unpaid dividends totaling $717.2 million at the revision approval date) and to specify that the conversion right of the non-voting perpetual preferred stock be at the original value of the Company’s non-voting common stock. In March 2010, Hamlet Holdings LLC (the holder of all of the Company’s voting common stock) and holders of a majority of our non-voting perpetual preferred stock approved the revisions to the Certificate of Designation. Also in March 2010, the holders of a majority of our non-voting perpetual preferred stock voted to convert all of the non-voting perpetual preferred stock to non-voting common stock.

As a result of the conversion of preferred stock into common stock, the Company has no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2009, the authorized common stock of the Company totaled 80,000,020 shares, consisting of 20 shares of voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 80,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

As disclosed above, in March 2010, the holders of our voting common stock and of a majority of our non-voting preferred stock voted to convert all of the non-voting perpetual preferred stock to non-voting common stock. As a result of this conversion, the Company issued 19,935,534 additional shares of non-voting common stock.

Table of Contents

The voting common stock has no economic rights or privileges, including rights in liquidation. The holders of voting common stock shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of non-voting common stock will receive a pro rata distribution of any remaining assets after payment of or provision for liabilities and the liquidation preference on preferred stock, if any.

Note 8—Write-downs, Reserves and Recoveries

Write-downs, reserves and recoveries include various pretax charges to record long-lived tangible asset impairments, contingent liability reserves, project write-offs, demolition costs, recoveries of previously recorded non-routine reserves and other non-routine transactions. The components of write-downs, reserves and recoveries were as follows:

Total Write-downs, reserves and recoveries

   $ 12.5      $ 27.4
              

Remediation costs relate to room remediation projects at certain of our Las Vegas properties.

Efficiency program expenses in 2010 and 2009 represent costs incurred to identify and implement efficiency projects aimed at stream-lining corporate and operating functions to achieve cost savings and efficiencies. In 2009, the majority of the costs incurred related to the closing of the office in Memphis, Tennessee, which previously housed certain corporate functions.

We account for long-lived tangible assets to be held and used by evaluating their carrying value in relation to the operating performance and estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by such assets, when indications of impairment are present. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $8.1 million, of which $6.9 million related to long-lived tangible assets at our Horseshoe Hammond property.

Other write-downs, reserves and recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 includes the release of a $4.8 million reserve for excise tax for which the statute of limitations has recently expired.

Note 9—Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States as well as various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company’s income tax provision/(benefit) and effective tax rate were as follows:

Table of Contents

For the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the differences between the Company’s recorded tax benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% were primarily attributable to: (1) state income taxes; (2) foreign income taxes; (3) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. that were not benefited due to management’s conclusion that it was less than more likely than not that the tax benefits would be realized; (4) adjustments for uncertain tax positions; and (5) other permanent book/tax differences.

We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on open tax positions, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next twelve months. As a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations and closure of IRS audits, our 2004 and 2005 federal income tax years were closed during the year ended December 31, 2009. The IRS audit of our 2006 federal income tax year also concluded during the year ended December 31, 2009. We participated in the IRS’s Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) for the 2007 and 2008 tax years. The IRS audit of our 2007 federal income tax year concluded during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Our 2008 federal income tax year is currently under post-CAP review by the IRS. We did not participate in the IRS’s CAP program for our 2009 income tax year and we are not participating in the CAP program for the 2010 income tax year.

We are also subject to exam by various state and foreign tax authorities. Tax years prior to 2005 are generally closed for foreign and state income tax purposes as the statutes of limitations have lapsed. However, various subsidiaries are still capable of being examined by the New Jersey Division of Taxation for tax years beginning with 1999 due to our execution of New Jersey statute of limitation extensions.

We classify reserves for tax uncertainties within “Accrued expenses” and “Deferred credits and other” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, separate from any related income tax payable or deferred income taxes. In accordance with ASC 740, reserve amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions as well as potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an increase in gross unrecognized tax benefit (“UTB”) of $74.2 million as a result of tax positions taken during a prior year. The increase in gross UTB was related to cancellation of indebtedness income. None of the total amount of the increase in gross UTB during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, if recognized, would benefit the effective tax rate. There was no decrease in gross UTB during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which, upon recognition, benefited the effective tax rate.

Note 10—Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1:   Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;
Level 2:   Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:   Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” entities are permitted to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We did not elect the fair value measurement option under ASC 825 for any of our financial assets or financial liabilities.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to estimate or measure fair value, key inputs, and significant assumptions:

Cash equivalents – Cash equivalents are investments in money market accounts and utilize Level 1 inputs to determine fair value.

Derivative instruments – The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments are derived from market prices obtained from dealer quotes for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Derivative instruments are included in either Deferred charges and other, or Deferred credits and other, in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Our derivatives are recorded at their fair values, adjusted for the credit rating of the counterparty if the derivative is an asset, or adjusted for the credit rating of the Company if the derivative is a liability. See Note 5, “Debt,” for more information on our derivative instruments.

Investments – Investments are primarily debt and equity securities, the majority of which are traded in active markets, have readily determined market values and use level 1 inputs. Those debt and equity securities for which there are not active markets or the market values are not readily determinable are valued using Level 2 inputs. All of these investments are included in either Prepayments and other, or Deferred charges and other, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Items to be Disclosed at Fair Value

Long-Term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt has been calculated based on the borrowing rates available as of March 31, 2010, for debt with similar terms and maturities and market quotes of our publicly traded debt. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s outstanding debt had a fair value of $19,382.5 million and a carrying value of $19,329.6 million. The Company’s interest rate swaps used for hedging purposes had fair values equal to their carrying values, in the aggregate a liability of $400.1 million, and our interest rate cap agreement had a fair value equal to its carrying value as an asset of $20.2 million at March 31, 2010. See additional discussion about derivatives in Note 5, Debt.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Contractual Commitments

We continue to pursue additional casino development opportunities that may require, individually and in the aggregate, significant commitments of capital, up-front payments to third parties and development completion guarantees.

The agreements pursuant to which we manage casinos on Indian lands contain provisions required by law that provide that a minimum monthly payment be made to the tribe. That obligation has priority over scheduled repayments of borrowings for development costs and over the management fee earned and paid to the manager. In the event that insufficient cash flow is generated by the operations to fund this payment, we must pay the shortfall to the tribe. Subject to certain limitations as to time, such advances, if any, would be repaid to us in future periods in which operations generate cash flow in excess of the required minimum payment. These commitments will terminate upon the occurrence of certain defined events, including termination of the management contract. Our aggregate monthly commitment for the minimum guaranteed payments, pursuant to these contracts for the three managed Indian-owned facilities now open, which extend for periods of up to 57 months from March 31, 2010, is $1.2 million. Each of these casinos currently generates sufficient cash flows to cover all of its obligations, including its debt service.

In February 2008, we entered into an agreement with the State of Louisiana whereby we extended our guarantee of an annual payment obligation of Jazz Casino Company, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary and owner of Harrah’s New Orleans, of $60 million owed to the State of Louisiana. The guarantee currently expires on March 31, 2011.

In addition to the guarantees discussed above, we had total aggregate non-cancelable purchase obligations of $945.7 million as of March 31, 2010, including construction-related commitments.

The Supreme Court of Nevada decided in early 2008 that food purchased for subsequent use in the provision of complimentary and/or employee meals is exempt from use tax. Previously, such purchases were subject to use tax and the Company has claimed, but not recognized into earnings, a use tax refund totaling $32.2 million, plus interest, as a result of the 2008 decision. In early 2009, the Nevada Department of Taxation audited our refund claim, but has taken the position that those same purchases are now subject to sales tax; therefore, they subsequently issued a sales tax assessment totaling $27.4 million plus interest after application of our refund on use tax. While we have established certain reserves against possible loss on this matter, we believe that the Nevada Department of Taxation’s position has no merit and intend to litigate the issue.

Employment Agreements

We have an employment agreement with one executive that provides for payments to the executive in the event of his termination after a change in control, as defined, and provides for, among other things, a compensation payment of 3.0 times the executive’s average annual compensation, as defined. The estimated amount, computed as of March 31, 2010, that would be payable under the agreement to the executive based on the compensation payment aggregated approximately $15.8 million. The estimated amount that would be payable to the executive does not include the tax gross-up payment, provided for in the agreement, that would be payable to the executive if the executive becomes entitled to severance payments which are subject to federal excise tax.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured for various levels of general liability, workers’ compensation, employee medical coverage and other coverage. Insurance claims and reserves include accruals of estimated settlements for known claims, as well as accruals of actuarial estimates of incurred but not reported claims.

Note 12—Litigation

Litigation Related to Employee Benefit Obligations

In December 1998, Hilton Hotels Corporation (“Hilton”) spun-off its gaming operations as Park Place Entertainment Corporation (“Park Place”). In connection with the spin-off, Hilton and Park Place entered an Employee Benefits and Other Employment Allocation Agreement dated December 31, 1998 (the “Allocation Agreement”) whereby Park Place assumed or retained, as applicable, liabilities and excess assets, if any, related to the Hilton Hotels Retirement Plan (the “Hilton Plan”) based on the accrued benefits of Hilton employees and Park Place employees. Park Place changed its name to Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (“Caesars”) and the Company acquired Caesars in June 2005. In 1999 and 2005, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia certified two nationwide class action lawsuits against Hilton alleging that the Hilton Plan’s benefit formula was back loaded in violation of ERISA, and that Hilton failed to properly calculate Hilton Plan participants’ service for vesting purposes. In May 2009, the Court issued a decision granting summary judgment to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs and Hilton are undertaking Court-mandated efforts to determine an appropriate remedy.

Table of Contents

The Company received a letter from Hilton in October 2009 alleging potential liability under the above described claims and under the terms of the Allocation Agreement. The Company may be responsible for a portion of the liability resulting from the claims noted above. We are monitoring the status of the lawsuit, remedy determination, and our potential liability, if any.

Litigation Related to Our Operations

In April 2000, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (the “Tribe”) granted Caesars the exclusive rights to develop a casino project in the State of New York. On April 26, 2000, certain individual members of the Tribe purported to commence a class action proceeding in a “Tribal Court” in Hogansburg, New York, against Caesars seeking to nullify Caesars’ agreement with the Tribe. On March 20, 2001, the “Tribal Court” purported to render a default judgment against Caesars in the amount of $1,787 million. Prior to our acquisition of Caesars in June 2005, it was believed that this matter was settled pending execution of final documents and mutual releases. Although fully executed settlement documents were never provided, on March 31, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York dismissed litigation concerning the validity of the judgment, without prejudice, while retaining jurisdiction to reopen that litigation, if, within three months thereof, the settlement had not been completed. On June 22, 2007, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York against us by certain trustees of the Catskill Litigation Trust alleging the Catskill Litigation Trust had been assigned the “Tribal Court” judgment and seeks to enforce it, with interest. According to a “Tribal Court” order, accrued interest through July 9, 2007, was approximately $1,014 million. On September 28, 2009, the Court entered summary judgment against the Tribe and dismissed the action, ruling that although alternative grounds were presented in the motion, the subject matter of the action was asserted in a prior action and settled by an oral agreement to end that matter with prejudice. On October 27, 2009, the Tribe filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. We have a settlement in principle with the Tribe that is subject to definitive documentation.

Litigation Related to Development

On March 6, 2008, Caesars Bahamas Investment Corporation (“CBIC”), an indirect subsidiary of HOC, terminated its previously announced agreement to enter into a joint venture in the Bahamas with Baha Mar Joint Venture Holdings Ltd. and Baha Mar JV Holding Ltd. (collectively, “Baha Mar”). To enforce its rights, on March 13, 2008, CBIC filed a complaint against Baha Mar, and the Baha Mar Development Company Ltd., in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking a declaratory judgment with respect to CBIC’s rights under the Subscription and Contribution Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), between CBIC and Baha Mar dated January 12, 2007. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, CBIC agreed, subject to certain conditions, to subscribe for shares in Baha Mar Joint Venture Holdings Ltd., which was formed to develop and construct a casino, golf course and resort project in the Bahamas. The complaint alleges that (i) the Subscription Agreement grants CBIC the right to terminate the agreement at any time prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, if the closing does not occur on time; (ii) the closing did not occur on time; and, (iii) CBIC exercised its right to terminate the Subscription Agreement, and to abandon the transactions contemplated therein. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the Subscription Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms and the transactions contemplated therein have been abandoned.

Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development Company Ltd. (“Baha Mar Development”) filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaims against CBIC and a Third Party Complaint dated June 18, 2008 against HOC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development allege that CBIC wrongfully terminated the Subscription Agreement and that CBIC wrongfully failed to make capital contributions under the Joint Venture Investors Agreement, by and between CBIC and Baha Mar, dated January 12, 2007. In addition, Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development allege that HOC wrongfully failed to perform its purported obligations under the Harrah’s Baha Mar Joint Venture Guaranty, dated January 12, 2007. Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, promissory estoppel, equitable estoppel and negligent misrepresentation. Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development seek (i) declaratory relief; (ii) specific performance; (iii) the recovery of alleged monetary damages; (iv) the recovery of attorneys fees, costs, and expenses and (v) the dismissal with prejudice of CBIC’s Complaint. CBIC and HOC each answered, denying all allegations of wrongdoing. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, both sides filed motions for summary judgment.

At the conclusion of oral argument on October 6, 2009, on cross motions for summary judgment, the Court stated that it was going to grant summary judgment to CBIC and HOC and that Baha Mar Development’s claims are dismissed. The Court entered its written decision on February 1, 2010. On February 18, 2010, Baha Mar Development filed an appeal. CBIC and HOC filed an appellate brief on April 21, 2010. Additionally, in January 2010 CBIC and HOC filed a motion to recover attorney’s fees and in March 2010 Baha Mar Development filed a motion for a stay of fee hearing pending appeal. On April 1, 2010, the state appeals court refused to grant Baha Mar Development’s motion for a stay of the fee hearing. The fee hearing was set for May 6, 2010.

Litigation Related to the December 2008 Exchange Offer

On January 9, 2009, S. Blake Murchison and Willis Shaw filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United Stated District Court for the District of Delaware, Civil Action No. 09-00020-SLR, against Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. and its board of directors, and Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. The lawsuit was amended on March 4, 2009, alleging that the bond exchange offer which closed on December 24, 2008 wrongfully impaired the rights of bondholders. The amended complaint alleges, among others, breach of the bond indentures, violation of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, equitable rescission, and liability claims against the members of the board. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification of the lawsuit, declaratory relief that the alleged violations occurred, unspecified damages to the class, and attorneys’ fees. On April 30, 2009 the defendants stipulated to the plaintiff’s request to dismiss the lawsuit, without prejudice, which the court entered on June 18, 2009. Plaintiff requested the court to award it attorneys’ fees. On March 31, 2010, the court denied plaintiff’s request for fees and plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal with the Third Circuit United States Courts of Appeals.

Other

In addition, the Company is party to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not expect the outcome of any pending litigation to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 15—Related Party Transactions

In connection with the Acquisition, Apollo, TPG and their affiliates entered into a services agreement with Harrah’s Entertainment relating to the provision of financial and strategic advisory services and consulting services. In addition, we pay a monitoring fee for management services and advice. Fees for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $7.3 million, which are included in Corporate expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also reimburse Apollo and TPG for expenses that they incur related to their management services.

Note 16—Subsequent Events

On April 5, 2010, as required under the amended and restated loan agreement, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the PHW Las Vegas senior secured loan. The interest rate cap agreement is for a notional amount of $554.3 million at LIBOR cap rate of 5%, and matures on December 9, 2011. Due to the prepayment requirements of the loan disclosed in Note 5, “Debt”, we have designated $525 million of the $554.3 million notional amount of the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes.

On April 16, 2010, Harrah’s Operating Escrow LLC and Harrah’s Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of HOC, completed the offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.75% second-priority senior secured notes due 2018.

In connection with the issuance of the notes, on April 16, 2010, HOC delivered notices of redemption (each, a “Redemption Notice”, and collectively, the “Redemption Notices”) to the holders of HOC’s currently outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “5.50% Notes”), 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “8.0% Notes”) and 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “8.125% Notes” and, collectively with the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, the “2010/2011 Notes”). The Redemption Notices provide for HOC’s redemption on May 20, 2010 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the terms of the indentures relating to the 2010/2011 Notes, of all $17.6 million of 8.125% Notes, $191.6 million of 5.50% Notes and $13.2 million of 8.0% Notes at a redemption price of (a) in the case of the 8.125% Notes, 100% of the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes to be redeemed plus the Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the indenture relating to the 8.125% Notes), and (b) in the case of each of the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of such Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus, in the case of both (a) and (b), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

Note 17—Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

As of March 31, 2010, HOC is the issuer of certain debt securities that have been guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment and certain subsidiaries of HOC. The following consolidating schedules present condensed financial information for Harrah’s Entertainment, the parent and guarantor; HOC, the subsidiary issuer; guarantor subsidiaries of HOC; and non-guarantor subsidiaries of Harrah’s Entertainment and HOC, which includes PHW Las Vegas and the CMBS properties, as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, and for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries, we have included the accompanying consolidating condensed financial statements based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation and application of ASC 470-10-S99, (Rule 3-10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X). Management does not believe that separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are material to our investors. Therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial position and operating results of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. (referred to in this discussion, together with its consolidated subsidiaries where appropriate, as “Harrah’s Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, updates, and should be read in conjunction with, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

REGIONAL AGGREGATION

The executive officers of our Company review operating results, assess performance and make decisions related to the allocation of resources on a property-by-property basis. We, therefore, believe that each property is an operating segment and that it is appropriate to aggregate and present the operations of our Company as one reportable segment. In order to provide more meaningful information than would be possible on a consolidated basis, our properties (as of March 31, 2010, or as otherwise noted below) have been grouped as follows to facilitate discussion of our operating results:

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, declined primarily due to the continuing impact of the recession on customers’ discretionary spending and reduced aggregate demand, which continued to pressure average daily room rates. Income from operations declined as cost-savings initiatives were unable to offset the earnings impact of the revenue decline.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we purchased approximately $950 million of face value of CMBS Loans for approximately $237 million. Pursuant to the terms of the CMBS Letter Agreement agreed to in March 2010 (discussed later within the capital resources section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis), we have agreed to pay lenders selling these CMBS Loans during the fourth quarter 2009 an additional $48 million for their loans previously sold, subject to the execution of definitive documentation for the amendment. This additional liability was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

On February 19, 2010, Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. (“HOC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., acquired 100% of the equity interests of PHW Las Vegas, LLC (“PHW Las Vegas”), which owns and operates the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino (“Planet Hollywood”) located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Net revenues and income from continuing operations before income taxes (excluding transaction costs associated with the acquisition) of Planet Hollywood subsequent to the date of acquisition through March 31, 2010 of $26.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, are included in consolidated results from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenues declined slightly in the Las Vegas Region from the 2009 period due to increased room inventory in the market, weakness in the group travel business, lower spend per visitor and lower average daily room rates, despite hotel occupancy remaining strong at approximately 90%. Same-store sales revenue declines of 4.4 percent in the 2010 first quarter were largely offset by incremental revenues resulting from the acquisition of Planet Hollywood during the quarter. Income from operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was lower than the comparable prior year quarter, driven primarily by the earnings impact of reduced revenues.

An expansion and renovation of Caesars Palace Las Vegas was completed in stages during 2009 on the Octavius Tower, a new hotel tower with 110,000 square feet of additional meeting and convention space, three 10,000-square-foot luxury villa suites and an expanded pool and garden area. We have deferred completion of approximately 660 rooms, including 75 luxury suites, in the hotel tower expansion as a result of current economic conditions impacting the Las Vegas tourism sector. The convention center and the remainder of the expansion project, other than the deferred rooms, was completed during 2009. The Company has incurred capital expenditures of approximately $646.7 million on this project through March 31, 2010, and does not expect to incur significant additional capital expenditures on this project until construction on the deferred rooms is resumed.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were lower than in the comparable prior year quarter due to reduced visitation and spend per trip, plus unusually harsh winter storms. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, cost savings initiatives were unable to offset increased marketing expenses and the earnings impact of reduced revenues, which contributed to the 2010 decline in income from operations.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from our properties in Louisiana and Mississippi were lower than the comparable prior year quarter driven by lower visitation and customer spend per trip. Income from operations was lower than in the 2009 first quarter as cost-savings initiatives were unable to offset increased marketing expenses and the earnings impact of reduced revenues.

Construction began in third quarter 2007 on Margaritaville Casino & Resort in Biloxi. We have halted construction on this project, and will continue to review and refine the project in light of the current economic environment, market conditions on the Gulf Coast and the current financing environment. We license the Margaritaville name from an entity affiliated with the singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett. As of March 31, 2010, $178.5 million had been spent on this project.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 at our Iowa and Missouri properties were slightly lower compared to the same period last year due to new competition in the market and the continuing impact of the weak economy. Income from operations remained relatively consistent compared with the 2009 first quarter as cost savings initiatives across all properties within the region helped offset the earnings impact of the revenue decline.

Included in income from operations for the prior year is the write-down of assets of $6.9 million at the Company’s Horseshoe Hammond property. Prior to the consideration of this charge, income from operations in first quarter 2010 declined when compared to 2009 as cost savings initiatives were insufficient to offset the earnings impact of the revenue decline.

In the first quarter 2010, the impact of lower revenues on income from operations was partially offset by cost savings initiatives.

Managed and international include income from our managed properties and results of our international properties. Revenues from our Managed and International properties rose in the 2010 first quarter due to increased customer spend per trip at our Uruguay property and favorable foreign exchange impact in the London Clubs businesses. Income from operations increased in the 2010 first quarter compared to 2009 as a result of the earnings impact of increased revenues.

Corporate expense increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009 due primarily to increased marketing expenditures, partially offset by the continued realization of cost savings initiatives.

Write-downs, reserves and recoveries include various pretax charges to record certain long-lived tangible asset impairments, contingent liability reserves, demolition costs, recoveries of previously recorded non-routine reserves and other non-routine transactions. Given the nature of the transactions included within write-downs, reserves and recoveries, these amounts are not expected to be comparable from year-to-year, nor are the amounts expected to follow any particular trend from year-to-year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, total write-downs, reserves and recoveries were $12.5 million, a reduction of $14.9 million when compared with amounts recorded during the same quarter of the prior year. Amounts incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 for remediation costs were $16.1 million, and increased by $8.5 million when compared to the first quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting these charges in 2010 was the release of a $4.8 million reserve for excise tax for which the statute of limitations has recently expired.

Acquisition and integration costs in 2010 include costs in connection with our acquisition of PHW Las Vegas.

Amortization of intangible assets was slightly lower in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 due to lower intangible asset balances as a result of certain contract rights being fully amortized during 2009.

Interest expense declined by $5.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to lower debt levels resulting from debt exchanges that occurred in April 2009 and from repurchases of debt in open-market transactions that occurred primarily during the second half of 2009. The decrease was partially offset by changes in the variable rates received under our interest rate swap agreements. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as a result of interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreement, includes (i) $10.6 million of expense due to measured ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing; and (ii) $5.9 million of expense due to amortization of deferred losses frozen in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”).

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we purchased approximately $950 million of face value of CMBS Loans for approximately $237 million. Pursuant to the terms of the CMBS Letter Agreement agreed to in March 2010, we have agreed to pay lenders selling these CMBS Loans an additional $48 million for their loans previously sold, subject to the execution of definitive documentation for the amendment. This additional liability was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The gain on early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 represents discounts related to the purchase of certain of our debt in the open market.

As a result of the cancellation of our debt investment in certain predecessor entities of PHW Las Vegas in exchange for the equity of PHW Las Vegas, the Company recognized a gain of $7.1 million to adjust our investment to reflect the estimated fair value of consideration paid for the acquisition. This gain is reflected in Other income, including interest income, in our Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. In addition, other income for all periods presented included insurance policy proceeds related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

For the 2010 first quarter, we recorded a tax benefit of $104.9 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $298.5 million (an effective tax rate of 35.1 percent), compared with a tax benefit of $74.3 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing

operations of $201.7 million in the 2009 first quarter (an effective tax rate of 36.8 percent). The primary differences between the Company’s first-quarter 2010 recorded benefit and the benefit that would have resulted from applying the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35 percent to the Company’s pre-tax loss from continuing operations are the effects of state income tax benefits and other adjustments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cost Savings Initiatives

In light of the severe economic downturn and adverse conditions in the travel and leisure industry generally, Harrah’s Entertainment has undertaken a comprehensive cost reduction effort to right-size expenses with business levels. Beginning in August 2008, the program includes organizational restructurings at our corporate and property operations, reduction of employee travel and entertainment expenses, rationalization of our corporate-wide marketing expenses, procurement savings, and headcount reductions at property operations and corporate offices. To date, Harrah’s Entertainment has identified $683.0 million in estimated cost savings from these initiatives, of which approximately $540.6 million had been realized in the trailing twelve month period ending March 31, 2010.

Capital Spending and Development

In addition to the development and expansion projects discussed in the “Regional Operating Results” section, we also perform on-going refurbishment and maintenance at our casino entertainment facilities to maintain our quality standards, and we continue to pursue development and acquisition opportunities for additional casino entertainment facilities that meet our strategic and return on investment criteria. Prior to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, the costs of pursuing development projects are expensed as incurred. Construction-related costs incurred after the receipt of necessary approvals are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the resulting asset. Project opening costs are expensed as incurred.

Our planned development projects, if they go forward, will require, individually and in the aggregate, significant capital commitments and, if completed, may result in significant additional revenues. The commitment of capital, the timing of completion and the commencement of operations of casino entertainment development projects are contingent upon, among other things, negotiation of final agreements and receipt of approvals from the appropriate political and regulatory bodies. We must also comply with covenants and restrictions set forth in our debt agreements. Cash needed to finance projects currently under development as well as additional projects being pursued is expected to be made available from operating cash flows, established debt programs, joint venture partners, specific project financing, guarantees of third-party debt and additional debt offerings. Our capital spending for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, excluding costs related to the acquisition of Planet Hollywood, totaled approximately $35.7 million. Estimated total capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be between $175 million and $250 million.

Liquidity

We generate substantial cash flows from operating activities, as reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in our audited consolidated financial statements. We use the cash flows generated by our operations to fund debt service, to reinvest in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects and to pursue additional growth opportunities via new development. When necessary, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with funds provided by financing activities to balance our cash requirements.

Our ability to fund our operations, pay our debt obligations and fund planned capital expenditures depends, in part, upon economic and other factors that are beyond our control, and disruptions in capital markets and restrictive covenants related to our existing debt could impact our ability to secure additional funds through financing activities. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, our cash flows from operations and the financing sources discussed herein will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements during the next twelve months and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, we may consider issuing additional debt in the future to refinance existing debt or to finance specific capital projects.

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us, to fund our liquidity needs and pay our indebtedness. If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs or pay our indebtedness when it is due, we may have to reduce or delay refurbishment and expansion projects, reduce expenses, sell assets or attempt to restructure our debt. In addition, we have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under certain of our debt agreements, and if any of those lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $946.7 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $918.1 million at December 31, 2009.

Capital Resources

A substantial portion of the financing of the Company is comprised of credit facility and notes financing obtained by HOC. This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries that own properties that secure approximately $5,551.5 million of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). Information pertaining solely to the consolidated financial position and results of HOC and its subsidiaries can be found in Exhibit 99 of this Form 10-Q.

After consideration of the CMBS agreement discussed below, the majority of our debt is due in 2015 and beyond. Payments of short-term debt obligations and other commitments are expected to be made from operating cash flows and from borrowings under our established debt programs. Long-term obligations are expected to be paid through operating cash flows, refinancing of debt, joint venture partners or, if necessary, additional debt offerings.

At March 31, 2010, $191.6 million, face amount, of our 5.5% Senior Notes due July 1, 2010, and $25.0 million, face amount, of our 6.0% Secured Note due July 15, 2010, are classified as long-term in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet because the Company currently has both the intent and the ability to refinance these notes with proceeds from $750 million principal amount of 12.75% Senior Secured notes issued April 16, 2010, discussed further below. Our current maturities of debt include required interim principal payments on each of our Term Loans, our Chester Downs term loan, and the special improvement district bonds.

On April 16, 2010, Harrah’s Operating Escrow LLC and Harrah’s Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of HOC, completed the offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.75% second-priority senior secured notes due 2018. In connection with the issuance of the notes, on April 16, 2010, HOC delivered notices of redemption (each, a “Redemption Notice”, and collectively, the “Redemption Notices”) to the holders of HOC’s currently outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “5.50% Notes”), 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “8.0% Notes”) and 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “8.125% Notes” and, collectively with the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, the “2010/2011 Notes”). The Redemption Notices provide for HOC’s redemption on May 20, 2010 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the terms of the indentures relating to the 2010/2011 Notes, of all $17.6 million of 8.125% Notes, $191.6 million of 5.50% Notes and $13.2 million of 8.0% Notes at a redemption price of (a) in the case of the 8.125% Notes, 100% of the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes to be redeemed plus the Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the indenture relating to the 8.125% Notes), and (b) in the case of each of the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of such Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus, in the case of both (a) and (b), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

Credit Agreement and Incremental Facility Amendment

HOC is party to the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment’s other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own properties that are security for certain real estate loans (the “CMBS Financing”) and certain of HOC’s subsidiaries that are unrestricted subsidiaries. In late 2009, HOC completed cash tender offers for certain of its outstanding debt, and in connection with these tender offers, HOC borrowed $1,000 million of new term loans under its Credit Facilities pursuant to an incremental amendment (the “Incremental Loans”).

As of March 31, 2010, our Credit Facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $8,457.6 million, consisting of (i) senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $6,827.6 million with $5,830.1 million maturing on January 20, 2015 and $997.5 million maturing on October 31, 2016, and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,630.0 million, maturing January 28, 2014, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. The term loans under the Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments of $7.5 million, with the balance due at maturity. A total of $7,327.6 million face amount of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2010, with an additional $133.5 million committed to letters of credit. After consideration of these borrowings and letters of credit, $996.5 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to the Company under its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2010.

Interest and Fees

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities, other than borrowings under the Incremental Loans, bear interest at a rate equal to the then-current LIBOR rate or at a rate equal to the alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2010, the Credit Facilities, other than borrowings under the Incremental Loans, bore interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points for the term loans and a portion of the revolver loan, 150 basis points over the alternate base rate for the swingline loan and at the alternate base rate plus 200 basis points for the remainder of the revolver loan.

Borrowings under the Incremental Loans bear interest at a rate equal to either the alternate base rate or the greater of i) the then-current LIBOR rate or ii) 2.0%; in each case plus an applicable margin. At March 31, 2010, borrowings under the Incremental Loans bore interest at the minimum base rate of 2.0%, plus 750 basis points.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, we are required to pay each lender (i) a commitment fee in respect of any unborrowed amounts under the revolving credit facility and (ii) a letter of credit fee in respect of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2010, the Credit Facilities bore a commitment fee for unborrowed amounts of 50 basis points.

We make monthly interest payments on our CMBS Financing. Our outstanding notes (secured and unsecured) have semi-annual interest payments, with the majority of those payments on June 15 and December 15.

A change in interest rates on variable-rate debt will impact our financial results. For example, assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate debt, excluding the $5,810 million of variable-rate debt for which our interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, for the next twelve months, a hypothetical 1% increase in corresponding interest rates would change interest expense for the twelve months following March 31, 2010 by approximately $66.4 million. At March 31, 2010, the three-month USD LIBOR rate was 0.268%. A hypothetical reduction of this rate to 0% would decrease interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $17.8 million. At March 31, 2010, our variable-rate debt, excluding the aforementioned $5,810 million of variable-rate debt hedged against interest rate swap agreements, represents approximately 39.5% of our total debt, while our fixed-rate debt is approximately 60.5% of our total debt.

Collateral and Guarantors

HOC’s Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment, and are secured by a pledge of HOC’s capital stock and by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of HOC and its material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries other than certain unrestricted subsidiaries, including a pledge of the capital stock of HOC’s material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries, in each case subject to exceptions. The following casino properties have mortgages under the Credit Facilities:

Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters

The Credit Facilities require compliance on a quarterly basis with a maximum net senior secured first lien debt leverage test. In addition, the Credit Facilities include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting HOC’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions (iv) make certain investments, loans and advances; (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire all or any substantial part of assets of any other person; (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; (viii) engage in any business other than the business activity conducted at the closing date of the loan or business activities incidental or related thereto; (ix) amend or modify the articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws and certain agreements or make certain payments or modifications of indebtedness; and (x) designate or permit the designation of any indebtedness as “Designated Senior Debt”.

Harrah’s Entertainment is not bound by any financial or negative covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement, other than with respect to the incurrence of liens on and the pledge of its stock of HOC.

All borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the requirement that such borrowing does not reduce the amount of obligations otherwise permitted to be secured under our new senior secured credit facilities without ratably securing the retained notes.

Certain covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement require the maintenance of a senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio, as defined in the agreements (“Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”). The June 3, 2009 amendment and waiver to our credit agreement excludes from the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (a) the $1,375.0 million first lien notes issued June 15, 2009 and the $720.0 million first lien notes issued on September 11, 2009 and (b) up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not

wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities, the indenture and other agreements governing HOC’s 10.0% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and 2018, and our first lien notes restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet defined Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges, senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratios. The covenants that restrict additional indebtedness and the ability to make future acquisitions require an LTM Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio (measured on a trailing four-quarter basis) of 2.0:1.0. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions.

The indenture governing the 10.75% Senior Notes, 10.75%/11.5% Senior Toggle Notes and the agreements governing the other cash pay debt and PIK toggle debt limit HOC’s (and most of its subsidiaries’) ability to among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) with respect to HOC only, engage in any business or own any material asset other than all of the equity interest of HOC so long as certain investors hold a majority of the notes; (vi) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting its restricted subsidiaries; (vii) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (viii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (ix) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; and (x) designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing the other cash pay debt and PIK toggle debt will permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

Other Financing Transactions

Acquisition of Planet Hollywood

On February 19, 2010, HOC acquired 100% of the equity interests of PHW Las Vegas, which owns and operates the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In connection with this transaction, PHW Las Vegas assumed a $554.3 million, face value, senior secured loan, and a subsidiary of HOC cancelled certain debt issued by PHW Las Vegas’ predecessor entities. In connection with the transaction and the assumption of debt, PHW Las Vegas entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee for The Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-TFL2 (“Lender”). The $554.3 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.859% (the “Applicable Interest Rate”), is secured by the assets of PHW Las Vegas, and is non-recourse to other subsidiaries of the Company. PHW Las Vegas is an unrestricted subsidiary of HOC and therefore not a borrower under HOC’s credit facilities. A subsidiary of HOC manages the property for PHW Las Vegas for a fee. The maturity date for this loan is December 2011, with two extension options, which, if exercised, would extend maturity until April 2015.

Guaranty

In connection with PHW Las Vegas’ Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Harrah’s Entertainment entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) for the benefit of Lender pursuant to which Harrah’s Entertainment guaranteed to Lender certain recourse liabilities of PHW Las Vegas. Harrah’s Entertainment’s maximum aggregate liability for such recourse liabilities is limited to $30.0 million provided that such recourse liabilities of PHW Las Vegas do not arise from (i) events, acts, or circumstances that are actually committed by, or voluntarily or willfully brought about by Harrah’s Entertainment or (ii) event, acts, or circumstances (regardless of the cause of the same) that provide actual benefit (in cash, cash equivalent, or other quantifiable amount) to the Registrant, to the full extent of the actual benefit received by the Registrant. Pursuant to the Guaranty, Harrah’s Entertainment is required to maintain a net worth or liquid assets of at least $100.0 million.

Prepayments

PHW Las Vegas may, at its option, voluntarily prepay the loan in whole or in part upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to Lender.

PHW Las Vegas is required to prepay the loan in (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Lender for which Lender is not obligated to make available to PHW Las Vegas for restoration in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, (ii) the amount of any proceeds received from the operator of the timeshare property adjacent to the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, subject to the limitations set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and (iii) the amount of any excess cash remaining after application of the cash management provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

Amortization

On each scheduled monthly payment date prior to the maturity date, PHW Las Vegas pays to Lender interest accruing at the Applicable Interest Rate.

Amendment to CMBS Financing

On March 5, 2010, we received the consent of the lenders under our CMBS financing to amend the terms of the CMBS Financing to, among other things, (i) provide our subsidiaries that are borrowers under the CMBS mortgage loan and/or related mezzanine loans (“CMBS Loans”) the right to extend the maturity of the CMBS Loans, subject to certain conditions, by up to 2 years until February 2015, (ii) amend certain terms of the CMBS Loans with respect to reserve requirements, collateral rights, property release prices and the payment of management fees, (iii) provide for ongoing mandatory offers to repurchase CMBS Loans using excess cash flow from the CMBS entities at discounted prices, (iv) provide for the amortization of the mortgage loan in certain minimum amounts upon the occurrence of certain conditions and (v) provide for certain limitations with respect to the amount of excess cash flow from the CMBS entities that may be distributed to us. Any CMBS Loan purchased pursuant to the amendments will be cancelled. The amendment to the terms of the CMBS Loans will become effective upon execution of definitive documentation.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we purchased approximately $950 million of face value of CMBS Loans for approximately $237 million. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, we have agreed to pay lenders selling CMBS Loans during the fourth quarter 2009 an additional $48 million for their loans previously sold, subject to the execution of definitive documentation for the amendment. This additional liability was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. In addition, we have agreed to purchase approximately $124 million of face value of CMBS Loans for $37 million, subject to the execution of definitive documentation for the amendment.

Derivative Instruments — Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of March 31, 2010 we have entered into 10 interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $6,500 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows. The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2010 are as follows:

The variable rate on our interest rate swap agreements did not materially change as a result of the April 26, 2010 reset.

Until October 2009, our interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. During October 2009, we borrowed $1,000 million under the Incremental Loans and used a majority of the net proceeds to temporarily repay most of our revolving debt under the Credit Facility. As a result, we no longer had a sufficient amount of outstanding debt under the same terms as our interest rate swap agreements to support hedge accounting treatment for the full $6,500 million in interest rate swaps. Thus, as of September 30, 2009, we removed the cash flow hedge designation for the $1,000 million swap agreement, freezing the amount of deferred losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income associated with this swap agreement, and reducing the total notional amount on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments to $5,500 million. Beginning October 1, 2009, we began amortizing deferred losses frozen in Other Comprehensive Income into income over the original remaining term of the hedged forecasted transactions that are still considered to be probable of occurring. We will record $8.7 million as an increase to interest expense and other comprehensive income over the next 12 months related to deferred losses on the $1,000 million interest rate swap.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we re-designated approximately $310 million of the $1,000 million swap as a cash flow hedging instrument. As a result, at March 31, 2010, $5,810 million of our total interest rate swap notional amount of $6,500 million remained designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate swap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in Interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

Derivative Instruments — Interest Rate Cap Agreements

On January 28, 2008, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the CMBS Financing. The interest rate cap agreement, which was effective January 28, 2008 and terminates February 13, 2013, is for a notional amount of $6,500 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 4.5%. The interest rate cap was designated as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes on May 1, 2008.

On November 30, 2009, we purchased and extinguished approximately $948.8 million of the CMBS Financing. The hedging relationship between the CMBS Financing and the interest rate cap has remained effective subsequent to the debt extinguishment. As a result of the extinguishment, in the fourth quarter 2009, we reclassified approximately $12.1 million of deferred losses out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into interest expense associated with hedges for which the forecasted future transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

On January 31, 2010, we removed the cash flow hedge designation for the $6,500 million interest rate cap, freezing the amount of deferred losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income associated with the interest rate cap. Beginning February 1, 2010, we began amortizing deferred losses frozen in Other Comprehensive Income into income over the original remaining term of the hedge forecasted transactions that are still probable of occurring. We will record $20.9 million as an increase to interest expense and other comprehensive income over the next 12 months related to deferred losses on the interest rate cap.

On January 31, 2010, we re-designated $4,650 million of the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate cap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

On April 5, 2010, as required under the amended and restated loan agreement, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the PHW Las Vegas senior secured loan. The interest rate cap agreement is for a notional amount of $554.3 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 5%, and matures on December 9, 2011. Due to the prepayment requirements of the loan disclosed in Note 5, “Debt”, we have designated $525 million of the $554.3 million notional amount of the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes.

In addition to the impact on interest expense from amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income, the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense and is paid quarterly. This cash settlement portion of the interest rate swap agreements increased interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 by approximately $66.4 million and $43.2 million, respectively.

Minimum payments to tribes

     (3.4     27.3

The agreements pursuant to which we manage casinos on Indian lands contain provisions required by law that provide that a minimum monthly payment be made to the tribe. That obligation has priority over scheduled repayments of borrowings for development costs and over the management fee earned and paid to the manager. In the event that insufficient cash flow is generated by the operations to fund this payment, we must pay the shortfall to the tribe. Subject to certain limitations as to time, such advances, if any, would be repaid to us in future periods in which operations generate cash flow in excess of the required minimum payment. These commitments will terminate upon the occurrence of certain defined events, including termination of the management contract. Our aggregate monthly commitment for the minimum guaranteed payments, pursuant to these contracts for the three managed Indian-owned facilities now open, which extend for periods of up to 57 months from March 31, 2010, is $1.2 million. Each of these casinos currently generates sufficient cash flows to cover all of its obligations, including its debt service.

Competitive Pressures

The gaming industry is highly competitive and our competitors vary considerably in size, quality of facilities, number of operations, brand identities, marketing and growth strategies, financial strength and capabilities, level of amenities, management talent and geographic diversity. We also compete with other non-gaming resorts and vacation areas, and with various other entertainment businesses. Our competitors in each market may have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and there can be no assurance that they will not in the future engage in aggressive pricing action to compete with us. Although we believe we are currently able to compete effectively in each of the various markets in which we participate, we cannot make assurances that we will be able to continue to do so or that we will be capable of maintaining or further increasing our current market share. Our failure to compete successfully in our various markets could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In recent years, with fewer new markets opening for development, many casino operators have been reinvesting in existing markets to attract new customers or to gain market share, thereby increasing competition in those markets. As companies have completed expansion projects, supply has typically grown at a faster pace than demand in some markets and competition has increased significantly. The expansion of existing casino entertainment properties, the increase in the number of properties and the aggressive marketing strategies of many of our competitors have increased competition in many markets in which we operate, and this intense competition is expected to continue. These competitive pressures have affected, and are expected to continue to adversely affect our financial performance in certain markets.

Several states and Indian tribes are also considering enabling the development and operation of casinos or casino-like operations in their jurisdictions.

Although, historically, the short-term effect of such competitive developments on our Company generally has been negative, we are not able to determine the long-term impact, whether favorable or unfavorable, that development and expansion trends and events will have on current or future markets. We also cannot determine the long-term impact of the financial crisis on the economy, and casinos specifically. In the short-term, the current financial crisis has stalled or delayed some of our capital projects, as well as those of many of our competitors. In addition, our substantial indebtedness could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our operations or business and restrict us from developing new gaming facilities, introducing new technologies or exploiting business opportunities, all of which could place us at a competitive disadvantage. We believe that the geographic diversity of our operations; our focus on multi-market customer relationships; our service training, our rewards and customer loyalty programs; and our continuing efforts to establish our brands as premier brands upon which we have built strong customer loyalty have well-positioned us to face the challenges present within our industry. We utilize the unique capabilities of WINet, a sophisticated nationwide customer database, and Total Rewards, a nationwide loyalty program that allows our customers to earn complimentary items and other benefits for playing at our casinos. We believe these sophisticated marketing tools provide us with competitive advantages, particularly with players who visit more than one market.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES

We prepare our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of our accounting policies, including the estimated lives assigned to our assets, the determination of bad debt, asset impairment, fair value of guarantees and self-insurance reserves, the purchase price allocations made in connection with our acquisitions/merger and the calculation of our income tax liabilities, require that we apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our estimates. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant changes to our accounting policies and any new accounting pronouncements are further discussed in Note 3, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements”, to the consolidated financial statements included in Item I of this Form 10-Q.

PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events. Further, statements that include words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue” or “pursue,” or the negative or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this report. These forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those relating to future actions, new projects, strategies, future performance, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and future financial results, wherever they occur in this report, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include without limitation:

 

   

the impact of the substantial indebtedness;

 

   

the effect of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general, and on the gaming and hotel industry in particular;

 

   

construction factors, including delays, increased costs of labor and materials, availability of labor and materials, zoning issues, environmental restrictions, soil and water conditions, weather and other hazards, site access matters and building permit issues;

 

   

the effects of environmental and structural building conditions relating to our properties;

 

   

our ability to timely and cost effectively integrate companies that we acquire into our operations;

 

   

access to available and reasonable financing on a timely basis;

 

   

changes in laws, including increased tax rates, smoking bans, regulations or accounting standards, third-party relations and approvals, and decisions of courts, regulators and governmental bodies;

 

   

litigation outcomes and judicial actions, including gaming legislative action, referenda and taxation;

 

   

the ability of our customer-tracking, customer loyalty and yield-management programs to continue to increase customer loyalty and same-store or hotel sales;

 

   

our ability to recoup costs of capital investments through higher revenues;

 

   

acts of war, terrorist incidents, severe weather or natural disasters;

 

   

access to insurance on reasonable terms for our assets;

 

   

abnormal gaming holds;

 

   

the potential difficulties in employee retention and recruitment as a result of our substantial indebtedness and the recent downturn in the gaming and hotel industries; and

 

   

the effects of competition, including locations of competitors and operating and market competition.

You are cautioned to not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report for Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our debt between fixed-rate and variable-rate obligations. Of our $19,329.6 million of total debt at March 31, 2010, $7,610.2 million, excluding $5,810.0 million of variable rate debt for which we have entered into interest rate swap agreements, is subject to variable interest rates. To manage our interest rate risk, we have entered

 

47


Table of Contents

into interest rate swap agreements with respect to LIBOR borrowings for a notional amount of $6,500 million of this variable rate debt, all of which fix the floating rates of interest to fixed rates. In addition to the swap agreements, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement for a notional amount of $6,500 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 4.5%. Assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable rate debt for the next twelve months, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $66.4 million. At March 31, 2010, the 3-Month USD LIBOR rate was 0.268%. A hypothetical reduction of this rate to 0% would decrease interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $17.8 million.

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign currency translation gains and losses were not material to our results of operations for the first quarter of 2010. Our only material ownership interests in businesses in foreign countries are London Clubs, Macau Orient Golf and an approximate 95% ownership of a casino in Uruguay. Therefore, we have not been subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk from the effects that exchange rate movements of foreign currencies would have on our future operating results or cash flows.

From time to time, we hold investments in various available-for-sale equity securities; however, our exposure to price risk arising from the ownership of these investments is not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of March 31, 2010. Based on such evaluation, they have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item  1. Legal Proceedings.

Certain of our legal proceedings are reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, with material developments described below.

Litigation Related to Development

On March 6, 2008, Caesars Bahamas Investment Corporation (“CBIC”), an indirect subsidiary of HOC, terminated its previously announced agreement to enter into a joint venture in the Bahamas with Baha Mar Joint Venture Holdings Ltd. and Baha Mar JV Holding Ltd. (collectively, “Baha Mar”). To enforce its rights, on March 13, 2008, CBIC filed a complaint against Baha Mar, and the Baha Mar Development Company Ltd., in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking a declaratory judgment with respect to CBIC’s rights under the Subscription and Contribution Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), between CBIC and Baha Mar dated January 12, 2007. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, CBIC agreed, subject to certain conditions, to subscribe for shares in Baha Mar Joint Venture Holdings Ltd., which was formed to develop and construct a casino, golf course and resort project in the Bahamas. The complaint alleges that (i) the Subscription Agreement grants CBIC the right to terminate the agreement at any time prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, if the closing does not occur on time; (ii) the closing did not occur on time; and, (iii) CBIC exercised its right to terminate the Subscription Agreement, and to abandon the transactions contemplated therein. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the Subscription Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms and the transactions contemplated therein have been abandoned.

Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development Company Ltd. (“Baha Mar Development”) filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaims against CBIC and a Third Party Complaint dated June 18, 2008 against HOC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development allege that CBIC wrongfully terminated the Subscription Agreement and that CBIC wrongfully failed to make capital contributions under the Joint Venture Investors Agreement, by and between CBIC and Baha Mar, dated January 12, 2007. In addition, Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development allege that HOC wrongfully failed to perform its purported obligations under the Harrah’s Baha Mar Joint Venture Guaranty, dated January 12, 2007. Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, promissory estoppel, equitable estoppel and negligent misrepresentation. Baha Mar and Baha Mar Development seek (i) declaratory relief; (ii) specific performance; (iii) the recovery of alleged monetary damages; (iv) the recovery of attorneys fees, costs, and expenses and (v) the dismissal with prejudice of CBIC’s Complaint. CBIC and HOC each answered, denying all allegations of wrongdoing. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, both sides filed motions for summary judgment.

At the conclusion of oral argument on October 6, 2009, on cross motions for summary judgment, the Court stated that it was going to grant summary judgment to CBIC and HOC and that Baha Mar Development’s claims are dismissed. The Court entered its written decision on February 1, 2010. On February 18, 2010, Baha Mar Development filed an appeal. CBIC and HOC filed an appellate brief on April 21, 2010. Additionally, in January 2010 CBIC and HOC filed a motion to recover attorney’s fees and in March 2010 Baha Mar Development filed a motion for a stay of fee hearing pending appeal. On April 1, 2010, the state appeals court refused to grant Baha Mar Development’s motion for a stay of the fee hearing. The fee hearing was set for May 6, 2010.

Litigation Related to the December 2008 Exchange Offer

On January 9, 2009, S. Blake Murchison and Willis Shaw filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United Stated District Court for the District of Delaware, Civil Action No. 09-00020-SLR, against Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. and its board of directors, and Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. The lawsuit was amended on March 4, 2009, alleging that the bond exchange offer which closed on December 24, 2008 wrongfully impaired the rights of bondholders. The amended complaint alleges, among others, breach of the bond indentures, violation of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, equitable rescission, and liability claims against the members of the board. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification of the lawsuit, declaratory relief that the alleged violations occurred, unspecified damages to the class, and attorneys’ fees. On April 30, 2009 the defendants stipulated to the plaintiff’s request to dismiss the lawsuit, without prejudice, which the court entered on June 18, 2009. Plaintiff requested the court to award it attorneys’ fees. On March 31, 2010, the court denied plaintiff’s request for fees and plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal with the Third Circuit United States Courts of Appeals.

Other

The Company is party to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not expect the outcome of any pending litigation to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2.2.1. Interest Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate.

2.2.2. Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

 

44


2.2.3. Determination of Interest Rate.

(a) The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3(c) or Section 2.2.3(f).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.

(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

(e) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority which are first imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Applicable Taxes”), excluding income and franchise taxes of (i) the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico) or (ii) any foreign state or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, in each case that are imposed on a net basis (other than taxes imposed by any foreign jurisdiction by reason of any connection of Borrower with such jurisdiction). If any Applicable Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Applicable Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Applicable Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Applicable Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from (A) any failure by Borrower to pay any such Applicable Tax

 

45


when due to the appropriate taxing authority or (B) any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence; provided, that in the case of clause (B), Borrower shall have no liability to Lender if it has in fact properly withheld and paid all such Applicable Taxes and has provided to Lender suitable evidence to that effect and has otherwise cooperated with Lender in all reasonable respects and, after the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to obtain official receipts of such payment from the applicable taxing authority. Lender agrees (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to Borrower any information as reasonably requested by Borrower that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Applicable Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.2.3(e) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations). Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for Taxes attributable solely to such Lender’s failure to provide the required documents under this Section 2.2.3(e).

(f) If any requirement of law hereafter enacted or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof (other than with respect to taxes), or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

 

46


(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents for a period of ninety (90) days.

(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder; provided, that Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from (i) any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, including any failure by Lender to apply available funds in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on a Payment Date as required hereunder, or (ii) any consequential damages. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Applicable Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 

47


(j) For purposes of this Section 2.2.3, the term “Lender” shall be deemed to include Lender’s present and future participants in the Loan to the extent of Applicable Taxes imposed by reason of such participant’s interest in the Loan and each such participant’s increased costs or reduction in amount received or receivable hereunder or any reduced rate of return, in each case payable by Borrower under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4. Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

2.2.5. Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.6. Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7. Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii)

 

48


shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Collection Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the then term of the Loan and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the then principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Collection Account).

(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Collection Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below those of an Acceptable Counterparty by S&P or Moody’s, if the Counterparty does not replace itself by causing an Acceptable Counterparty to enter into a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement within ten (10) Business Days following such downgrade withdrawal or qualification pursuant to the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such failure by Counterparty.

(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty and which opinion may contain customary assumptions and qualifications) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, to the effect that:

(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

 

49


(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

(iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.2. Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.3. Late Payment Charge. If any scheduled payment of principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the principal balance due at maturity) is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

50


2.3.4. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

2.4.1. Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4.1, Borrower may, at its option and upon twenty (20) days prior notice to Lender (which notice may be revoked or modified by Borrower upon at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to Lender so long as Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such revocation or modification), prepay the Debt in whole or in part, on any day; provided that Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.

2.4.2. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No prepayment premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, any Timeshare Project Proceeds deposited in the Collection Account and any amounts paid to Lender to be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.6.4(a)(xi) or Section 7.7.3 shall be applied on the next Payment Date in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(c) If any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 occurs on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall in connection with such payment, pay to Lender all interest which would have accrued on the amount prepaid through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of prepayment.

2.4.3. Prepayments After Default. If during the continuance of an Event of Default payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date, and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower.

 

51


2.4.4. Prepayments Prior to Determination Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Borrower makes a prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if such prepayment occurs during the time period in any month from and including the date after the Payment Date through and including the next Determination Date, it may be impossible for Borrower and Lender to calculate with certainty the interest that would have accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount then prepaid through the Payment Date next occurring. Accordingly, in the event that any portion of the Loan is prepaid during the time period in any month from and including the date after the Payment Date through and including the applicable Determination Date, the interest that would have accrued on such prepaid amount of the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate through the Payment Date next occurring shall be calculated based on an interest rate (the “Assumed Note Rate”) equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR calculated in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR” herein, but assuming that the Determination Date used in such definition is the date on which such prepayment is made, plus the Spread. Thereafter, on the Determination Date applicable to the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, Lender shall determine the Applicable Interest Rate. If it is determined by Lender that the Applicable Interest Rate for the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower, without interest, an amount equal to the difference between the interest paid by Borrower on the prepaid amount for such Interest Period calculated at the Assumed Note Rate and the amount of interest on the prepaid amount for such Interest Period calculated at the actual Applicable Interest Rate for the Loan. Alternatively, in the event that it is determined that the actual Applicable Interest Rate for applicable Interest Period is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, without additional interest or other late charges or penalties (and in no event later than the next Payment Date) an amount equal to the difference between the interest paid by Borrower on the prepaid amount for the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs calculated at the Assumed Note Rate and the amount of interest on the prepaid amount for such Interest Period calculated at the actual Applicable Interest Rate.

Section 2.5. Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5 or Section 5.2.11, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Security Instrument. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Security Instrument.

Section 2.6. Cash Management.

2.6.1. Establishment of Collection Account.

(a) Borrower has established and shall maintain the Collection Accounts with Property Bank throughout the term of the Loan. In connection with a transfer of its interest in the Loan, Lender shall have the right to cause the Collection Accounts to be entitled with such other designation as Lender may select to reflect an assignment or transfer of Lender’s rights and/or interests with respect to the Collection Account. Except with respect to Borrower’s and/or Manager’s right, from time to time, to direct the amount of certain funds in connection with (i)

 

52


the maintenance of the Gaming Liquidity Requirement and (ii) the payment of Pass-Through Amounts, each in accordance with Section 2.6.1(g), the Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which may be exercised through Servicer). Lender (and its agents, including Servicer) shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Collection Accounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower or its Affiliates may, without Lender’s consent but on prior written notice to Lender, open and maintain one or more Borrower Accounts in which to deposit and maintain Cash Expenses and other amounts disbursed to or contributed by or to Borrower from time to time in accordance with this Agreement; provided that, in each case, such Borrower Accounts are identified to Lender and shall be subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(a) Borrower has established and shall maintain the Cash Management Account with Cash Management Bank throughout the term of the Loan. In connection with any transfer of its interest in the Loan, Lender shall have the right to cause the Cash Management Account to be entitled with such other designation as Lender may select to reflect an assignment or transfer of Lender’s rights and/or interests with respect to the Cash Management Account. The Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which may be exercised through Servicer). Lender (and its agents, including Servicer) shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account (and any sub account thereof) shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

 

54


(b) Lender shall establish the following sub accounts (which may be ledger entry subaccounts) of the Cash Management Account, each in the name of Lender, into which funds on deposit in, or other financial assets credited to, the Cash Management Account shall be deposited, credited or otherwise allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.3:

The Cash Management Account and any sub-account thereof shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of Borrower, which is 27-140-7178. Borrower shall provide Lender, at any time upon request of Lender, with a Form W-8 or W-9 to evidence that Borrower is not subject to any back-up withholding under the Code.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of the Security Instrument, to further secure the full and timely payment and performance of the Debt, Borrower hereby expressly grants to Lender a continuing, first priority security interest in, and pledges and collaterally assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s rights, title and interest in, to and under, all of the following, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired, created or arising, whether tangible or intangible, and regardless of where located: (i) in the Collection Accounts, the Cash Management Account, all sub-accounts thereof and all security entitlements, investment property and other financial assets at any time and from time to time deposited or contained therein or credited thereto (as each such term is defined in Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC); (ii) any and all monies, checks,

 

55


deposits, investment property or other financial assets now or hereafter credited to the Collection Accounts or the Cash Management Account (including any sub-account thereof) or held by or on behalf of Lender; and (iii) all proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of all or any of the foregoing. Borrower will at its sole cost and expense take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a first priority perfected security interest in the Collection Accounts and the Cash Management Account, including, without limitation, entering into the Account Control Agreement and filing (and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to file) UCC-1 financing statements and continuations thereof. Borrower will not in any way alter or modify the Collection Accounts or the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Collection Accounts, the Cash Management Account, any sub-account thereof or any monies deposited therein or other financial assets credited thereto or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(c) Lender may exercise in respect of the Collection Accounts, the Cash Management Account or any or all of the sub-accounts thereof all rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have no further right to request or otherwise require Lender to disburse any Reserve Funds or have any further rights whatsoever therein, and Lender may, at Lender’s option (i) continue to hold any or all of the Reserve Funds, (ii) continue from time to time to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to any payment(s) to which such Reserve Funds could have been applied prior to such Event of Default, to the extent and in such order and manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, and/or (iii) apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

2.6.4. Application of Funds in the Cash Management Account.

(a) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the following items in the order indicated:

56


(iv) Fourth, payments to the Borrower Disbursement Account for (A) amounts payable to Harrah’s Manager under the Management Agreement, including amounts expended for Approved Capital Expenditures prior to the Closing Date (provided that Borrower has satisfied the disbursement conditions of Section 7.3.3 with respect to such Approved Capital Expenditures), which payments for Approved Capital Expenditures shall be disbursed from the FF&E Reserve Account, the Seasonality Cash Reserve Account or the Major Capital Improvement Reserve Account, as applicable, and (B) monthly Cash Expenses to be paid by Borrower in accordance with the related Approved Annual Budget pursuant to a written request for payment submitted by Borrower to Lender specifying the individual Cash Expenses in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender;

(vii) Seventh, payments to the FF&E Reserve Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.3;

(viii) Eighth, to payment, not exceed $2,500,000 in any Fiscal Year, of Approved Capital Expenditures in excess of amounts on deposit in the FF&E Reserve Account available to pay Approved Capital Expenditures;

(ix) Ninth, payments to the Seasonality Cash Reserve Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.6;

(x) Tenth, to payments to the Permitted Tax Distributions Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.5, but only to the extent of any amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after all payments under the foregoing clauses (i) through (ix) have been made; and

(xi) Finally, subject to Borrower’s right to direct deposits into the Major Capital Improvements Reserve Account pursuant to Section 7.7, any excess amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after all payments under the foregoing clauses (i) through (x) have been made (“Excess Cash Flow”) shall be disbursed to Lender to be applied in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as provided in Section 2.4.2(b).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall remain obligated to cause sufficient amounts to be deposited in the Cash Management Account on or before each Payment Date to make the payments set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) of Section 2.6.4(a) above, or

 

57


to otherwise timely pay such amounts on each Payment Date. The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(c) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender to the Debt and/or the Reserve Funds in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.

2.6.5. Payments Received in the Cash Management Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts due for the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, FF&E Reserve Fund and any other payment reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

Section 2.7. Extension of the Initial Maturity Date.

2.7.1 Extension Options. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan (each an “Extension Option”) beyond the Initial Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Term”), with the first such extension term commencing on the day after the Initial Maturity Date and ending on December 9, 2013 and the second such extension term commencing on December 10, 2013 and ending on April 9, 2015 (each then applicable Maturity Date, as extended following the exercise of each such Extension Option is hereinafter the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

58


condition set forth in this Section 2.7.1(c) by (i) (A) posting with Lender a Letter of Credit in a principal amount such that when the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated using as the outstanding principal balance of the Loan an amount equal to the difference between the actual outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the principal amount of said Letter of Credit, the applicable DSCR Requirement is satisfied, which Letter of Credit Lender shall hold as additional collateral for the payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7.2, and (B) delivering a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a notional amount equal to the difference between the actual outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the principal balance of said Letter of Credit and a strike price calculated as if the Loan were prepaid in the amount of the Letter of Credit, (ii) (A) paying to Lender for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account funds (the “Rate Cap Deposit”) in an amount determined by Borrower, which Rate Cap Deposit shall (I) be (x) held in a subaccount of the Interest Reserve Account and (y) disbursed pursuant to the terms of Section 7.4.3, provided that the Rate Cap Deposit shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of any portion of the Interest Reserve Fund deposited under Sections 7.4.1 or 7.4.2 and (II) not be (x) commingled with other funds deposited into the Interest Reserve Account, (y) released with other amounts then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to Section 7.4.4, or (z) considered in determining whether Borrower is required to make a deposit to the Interest Reserve Account under Section 7.4.2 and (B) delivering a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a notional amount equal to the actual outstanding principal balance of the Loan and a strike price that would result in the applicable DSCR Requirement being satisfied if the amount of the Rate Cap Deposit were deducted from the denominator used in calculating the Debt Service Coverage Ratio; (iii) (A) prepaying any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.1 so that when the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated using the outstanding principal balance of the Loan after application of such prepayment, the applicable DSCR Requirement is satisfied and (B) delivering a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan after application of such prepayment and a strike price calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan after such prepayment; or (iv) providing any combination of the foregoing Letter of Credit, Interest Reserve Account deposit or principal repayment;

(d) solely with respect to the second Extension Option, the term of which ends on April 19, 2015, the Debt Yield shall equal or exceed 9% (provided that if the foregoing Debt Yield test is not met, Borrower shall be entitled to make payments in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.1 in an amount that will cause this condition to be satisfied); and

(e) Borrower shall have paid or reimbursed Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) in connection with the foregoing.

59


(calculated on a trailing twelve month basis, using the Applicable Interest Rate and the actual principal amount of the Loan then outstanding, and subject to confirmation by Lender) has equaled or exceeded (i) with respect to such Letters of Credit or funds deposited in connection with the first Extension Option, 1.05:1.00 and (ii) with respect to such Letters of Credit or funds deposited in connection with the second Extension Option, 1.10:1.00.

ARTICLE IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.1. Borrower Party and Property Representations. Except as set forth on Schedule XIV, Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date as follows:

4.1.1. Organization. Each Borrower Party has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each of Borrower and Manager is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. The sole business of Borrower is the direct or indirect ownership, development, holding, selling, leasing, transferring, exchanging, operation and/or management of the Property. Attached hereto as Schedule I is a true, correct and complete organizational chart of Borrower.

4.1.2. Proceedings. Each Borrower Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Borrower Party that is a party thereto and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower Party enforceable against each Borrower Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.1.3. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower Party will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Material Operating Agreements) upon any of the property or assets of each Borrower Party pursuant to the terms of any of such Borrower Party’s organizational documents, the Loan Documents or the Material Operating Agreements or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which each Borrower Party is a party or by which any of each Borrower Party’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over

 

60


each Borrower Party or any of each Borrower Party’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.1.4. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Borrower Party or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Borrower Party, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.1.5. Agreements. Neither any Borrower Party nor HOC is (a) a party to any agreement or instrument which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any Borrower Party or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any Property is bound which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower nor any subsidiary thereof has a material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any Property is otherwise bound, other than Permitted Indebtedness and the Material Operating Agreements.

4.1.6. Title. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple or leasehold title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Security Instrument when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, except for those Liens listed on Schedule XV, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

4.1.7. Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become

 

61


absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower nor has Borrower ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. No petition in bankruptcy is currently filed against Guarantor or HOC and neither Guarantor nor HOC has made any currently effective assignment for the benefit of creditors or is currently taking advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower, HOC nor Guarantor is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of it’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower, HOC or Guarantor.

4.1.8. Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no statement of fact made by any Borrower Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to any Borrower Party which has not been disclosed to Lender which has, or as far as Borrower can foresee, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.1.9. ERISA Matters.

(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions, no Reportable Event or failure to meet the minimum funding standard (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA), in each case, during the past five years, has occurred or is continuing with respect to any Plan.

None of the Plans or any fiduciary thereof (in its capacity as such), has been the direct or indirect subject of any audit, investigation or examination by any governmental or quasi- governmental agency, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions.

(e) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions, all of the Plans currently comply both as to form and operation with their terms and with the provisions of ERISA and the Code, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, having made all required contributions thereto by the due date thereof), all necessary governmental approvals for the Plans have been obtained, and a favorable determination as to the qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code of each of the Plans has been made by the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination or recognition letter that would adversely affect such qualification.

63

Provided that the request is accompanied by a notice, which provides in upper case bold-faced type: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN APPROVAL WITH RESPECT TO A LEASE. IF LENDER FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS NOTICE, THE REQUESTED ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASE WILL BE DEEMED APPROVED”, if Lender shall not so advise of its determination within such ten (10) Business Day period (notice by facsimile on the same day being acceptable for this purpose), such proposed Lease or renewal, waiver, amendment, modification or termination thereof shall be deemed approved by Lender. If Lender shall deny any such request for approval, Lender shall specify the reasons for its refusal to grant approval.

(c) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner; provided, however, Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Lender’s prior written approval, except in the event of a default by the tenant thereunder and with prior written notice to Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

Any Material Alteration shall be subject to Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lender’s consent shall not be required for any Alterations other than Material Alterations. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to any Alterations at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed $10,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash,

 

81


(B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to same, (D) a Letter of Credit, (E) a completion and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank, or (F) a guaranty of completion of such Alterations from Guarantor or another guarantor reasonably acceptable to Lender, and in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to such Alterations (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver any additional security for Alterations to the extent that the Alterations that would otherwise have given rise to the obligation to deliver additional security for Alterations may (pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof) be paid for with funds from the FF&E Reserve Account or any other escrow or reserve account for the Loan.

(b) Any request for the approval by Lender of any Material Alterations shall be delivered to Lender in writing and shall include such documents, plans and other information as Lender shall reasonably require. If Lender shall fail to approve, disapprove or otherwise respond to such request for approval within ten (10) days, then Borrower may send to Lender a notice referencing this Agreement and the applicable Section hereof and stating in upper case bold-faced type “LENDER HAS FAILED TO APPROVE, DISAPPROVE OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO ALTERATIONS WITHIN THE TEN (10) DAY PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, AND IF LENDER SHALL FAIL TO APPROVE, DISAPPROVE OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO THE SAME WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS NOTICE, LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED OF THE SAME”, and if Lender shall fail to approve, disapprove or otherwise respond to such notice of Borrower within ten (10) days after the effectiveness of such notice, Lender shall be deemed to have approved of Borrower’s proposed Alterations.

5.1.22. Operation of Property. Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with any Management Agreement (or Replacement Management Agreement) as applicable. In the event that any Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable. Except for Excusable Delays, Borrower shall cause the Hotel Component to be at all times open for business as a hotel and the Casino Component to be open for business as a casino. Borrower shall cause the Property to be at all times operated, managed and maintained, at all times and in the manner and accordance with the standards required pursuant to any Management Agreement, any other Material Operating Agreement (including all marketing, advertising, promotional and reservation programs) and all applicable Legal Requirements, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would not result in a material default under such agreements (if any) but in no event below the Comparable Standards. Borrower shall at all times manage, operate and maintain the Hotel Component and the Casino Component as a luxury themed hotel and casino resort in accordance with standards at least equivalent to the Comparable Standards. The brand name of the Hotel Component and the

 

82


Casino Component shall not be materially changed without the prior written reasonable consent of Lender. Subject to the TPA Component Lease, the TPA Component shall be maintained consistent with the Comparable Standards.

(b) Borrower hereby grants to Lender the right (but not the obligation), upon prior notice to Borrower, if Borrower shall be in default under any Management Agreement, and subject to the terms of such Management Agreement, to cause the default or defaults under such Management Agreement to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower under such Management Agreement, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default provided such actions are necessary to protect Lender’s interest under the Loan Documents, and Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default, subject to the Gaming Laws.

(c) The actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by Borrower under any Management Agreement shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower and Lender, any default that occurred under this Agreement by virtue of such default by Borrower under such Management Agreement. All sums expended by Lender to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the rate set forth in this Agreement from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Lender. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the Security Instrument.

(d) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing of (i) the occurrence, to Borrower’s knowledge, of any material default by any party to any Management Agreement, (ii) the occurrence, to Borrower’s knowledge, of any event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by any party under any Management

 

83


Agreement, and (iii) the receipt by Borrower of any notice (written or otherwise) from any party under any Management Agreement noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Borrower under any Management Agreement.

(e) Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Lender to cure any default under any Management Agreement or permit Lender to take such other action required to enable Lender to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower under or with respect to any Management Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of any Management Agreement, or to preserve any rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of any Management Agreement (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).

(g) With respect to any Management Agreement, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender from time to time (provided that Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period unless a Default or Event of Default then exists, in which case such limit shall not apply) within twenty (20) Business Days of Lender’s request, a certificate from each party to such Management Agreement other than Borrower containing the following: (A) a statement that such. Management Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there have been modifications, that the Management Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications, (B) a statement that either such other party is not in default thereunder beyond any applicable grace, cure or notice period or, if any such default shall exist thereunder, a description of such default and the steps being taken to cure such default, (C) a statement that, to such party’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default thereunder beyond any applicable grace, cure or notice period or, if any such default shall exist thereunder, a description of such default and the steps being taken to cure such default and (D) such other information with respect to such other party and/or Management Agreements as Lender shall reasonably request.

(iii) any execution, renewal, waiver, amendment, modification or termination of any Timeshare Project Document that, by its terms or as a result of the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby, would reduce the Timeshare Amounts or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(iv) any execution, renewal, waiver, amendment, modification or termination of any Timeshare Project Document that imposes a material obligation or liability on Borrower, including, without limitation, any Timeshare Project Document that (A) creates an easement that materially burdens the Property or any portion thereof, (B) provides any Person with access to, through, on, over, across, under or above the Property or any portion thereof, (C) creates a restrictive covenant with respect to the Property or a portion thereof or (D) establishes any arrangement pursuant to which Borrower is intended to provide material management or operational services; and

(v) any execution, renewal, waiver, amendment, modification or termination of any Timeshare Project Document that by its terms or as a result of the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, profits, operations or financial condition of either the Casino Component or the Hotel Component, (iv) the enforceability or validity of any security interest or the perfection or priority of any Lien created under any Loan Document with respect to any Timeshare Project Proceeds or other rights and interests of Borrower or any of its Affiliates relating to the Timeshare Project, or (v) the rights, interests and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to any Timeshare Project Proceeds or other rights and interests of Lender relating to the Timeshare Project taken as a whole.

Any request for an approval by Lender required pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.2.11(c) shall be delivered to Lender in writing and shall include a copy of the proposed Timeshare Project Document or renewal, waiver, amendment, modification or termination and Lender shall so advise whether such approval is granted or denied within ten (10) Business Days

 

96


after receipt of such written request. Provided that the request is accompanied by a notice, which provides in upper case bold-faced type: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN APPROVAL WITH RESPECT TO A TIMESHARE PROJECT DOCUMENT. IF LENDER FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS NOTICE, THE REQUESTED ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMESHARE PROJECT DOCUMENT WILL BE DEEMED APPROVED”, if Lender shall not so advise of its determination within such ten (10) Business Day period (notice by facsimile on the same day being acceptable for this purpose), the proposed Timeshare Project Document or renewal, waiver, amendment, modification or termination thereof shall be deemed approved by Lender. If Lender shall deny any such request for approval, Lender shall specify the reasons for its refusal to grant approval. By its execution of this Agreement, Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has approved all Timeshare Project Documents in effect as of the Closing Date in the form delivered to Lender on or prior to the Closing Date. Borrower shall deliver to Lender promptly after execution thereof copies of any Timeshare Project Documents, or any waiver, amendment, modification or termination thereof, executed after the date hereof.

(d) Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Timeshare Project Documents in Borrower’s possession and that, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, all such Timeshare Project Documents are in effect on the date hereof and such Timeshare Project Documents comprise all the Timeshare Project Documents in effect on the date hereof. As of the date hereof, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, no events or circumstances exist which, with or without the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would be reasonably likely to constitute a default of any covenant or obligation on the part of any party under any Timeshare Project Documents which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Security Instrument (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

(i) From time to time at Lender’s request, Borrower shall consult and keep Lender informed as to the progress and status of all negotiations with any other Persons as to the terms of the Timeshare Project and any other material matters relating thereto;

(ii) Borrower shall not grant approvals or waive any of its approval rights with respect to any request of Timeshare Project Developer under the Timeshare Project Documents, if such approval or waiver of approval rights would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all reports and other information required to be delivered on a recurrent basis not more frequently than monthly, and all other material reports and material information delivered, to Borrower by Timeshare Project Developer under the Timeshare Project Documents and shall, upon Lender’s reasonable request and at Borrower’s sole cost, exercise its audit rights under Section 4(f) of the Timeshare Project Contract

 

97


(iv) Borrower shall and shall cause any of its Affiliates to, in a commercially reasonable manner, observe and perform its obligations under the Timeshare Project Documents;

(v) Borrower shall, and shall cause TSP Owner to, enforce, in a commercially reasonable manner, (A) the performance and observance of all covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed by Timeshare Project Developer, and (B) all of Borrower’s and TSP Owner’s rights and remedies, under the Timeshare Project Documents, including, without limitation, any reverter rights under the Timeshare Deed;

(vi) Borrower shall, subject to the terms of the Timeshare Project Documents, permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Timeshare Project or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(vii) Promptly after learning of same, Borrower shall and shall cause any of its Affiliates to notify Lender of the occurrence of any and all the following: (A) any material default under a Timeshare Project Document, (B) any litigation or proceeding affecting a Timeshare Project that is not fully covered by insurance, or any proceeding in which injunctive or similar material relief is sought, (C) any material change in a Timeshare Project, or (D) any major event or occurrence affecting a Timeshare Project including, but not limited to any Casualty, Loss or actual or threatened Condemnation;

(viii) Borrower, TSP Owner and Manager shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way materially and adversely affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings;

(ix) If Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be in default under any Timeshare Project Document which if uncured could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise contravene the provisions of this Section 5.2.11, then, subject to the terms of such Timeshare Project Document, Borrower or such Affiliate (as applicable) shall (subject to any applicable Legal Requirements) grant Lender the right (but not the obligation), to cause the default or defaults under such Timeshare Project Document to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower or such Affiliate (as applicable) under such Timeshare Project Document, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default provided such actions are necessary to protect Lender’s interest under the Loan Documents, and Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default. The actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by Borrower or its Affiliates under any Timeshare Project Document shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower and Lender, any default that occurred under this Agreement by virtue of such default by Borrower or its Affiliate under such Timeshare Project Document. All sums expended by Lender to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the rate set forth in this Agreement from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Lender. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the Security Instrument;

 

98


(x) Borrower shall and shall cause any of its Affiliates to (subject to any applicable Legal Requirements) promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Lender to cure any default under any Timeshare Project Document or permit Lender to take such other action required to enable Lender to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve any security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower or its Affiliates under or with respect to any Timeshare Project Document, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of any Timeshare Project Document, or to preserve any rights of Borrower of its Affiliates whatsoever in respect of any part of any Timeshare Project Document (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable); and

(xi) With respect to any Timeshare Project Document, Borrower shall and shall cause any of its Affiliates to, from time to time (but not more often than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period unless a Default or an Event of Default then exists in which case such limit shall not apply), upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request from Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, a statement containing the following: (A) a statement that such Timeshare Project Document is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there have been modifications, that the Timeshare Project Document is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications, (B) a statement that it is not in default thereunder beyond any applicable grace, cure or notice period or, if any such default shall exist thereunder, a description of such default and the steps being taken to cure such default, (C) a statement that, to its knowledge, each party thereto is not in default thereunder beyond any applicable grace, cure or notice period or, if any such default shall exist thereunder, a description of such default and the steps being taken to cure such default and (D) such other information with respect to the Timeshare Project Document as Lender shall reasonably request.

(f) Subject to the terms of this Section 5.2.11(f), Borrower shall have the right, with the prior consent of Lender and without violating the Loan Documents, to cause the Transfer of the Reversionary Property to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Borrower) pursuant to an arms-length transaction in which Borrower receives no consideration other than payment of the purchase price in cash and in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth herein and, in connection therewith, Borrower shall be entitled to obtain a release of the Reversionary Property from the Lien of the Loan Documents, provided that the following conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by Lender in its sole discretion):

(i) Borrower shall submit to Lender a written notice requesting the release of the Reversionary Property at least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated closing date of such Transfer, together with a copy of the applicable purchase contract and any other documents executed or to be executed in connection with such Transfer (such purchase

 

99


contract and any other such other documents, the “Reversionary Property Transfer Documents”); provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to revoke any such request or extend the anticipated closing date of such Transfer as stated therein, in each case upon giving at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender of such revocation or extension;

(ii) Borrower shall provide to Lender a release and reconveyance of Lien with respect to the Reversionary Property for execution by Lender, in form and substance appropriate in the relevant jurisdiction, together with such other documentation, certificates and instruments reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, in each case in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion;

(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the effective date of such release the Reversionary Property Release Amount;

(iv) Lender shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all material documentation to be executed and delivered in connection with such Transfer of the Reversionary Property, including (without limitation) all such release and other documentation required to be executed and delivered by Lender (A) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements in all material respects, (B) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (C) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released in any material respect;

(v) Borrower shall deliver to Lender any other information, approvals and documents relating to the release of the Reversionary Property that would be reasonably required by a prudent lender originating commercial loans for Securitization;

(vi) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the conditions set forth herein have been satisfied, including that the Transfer of the Reversionary Property is made pursuant to an arms-length transaction in which Borrower receives no consideration other than payment in cash of the sales price used in determining the Reversionary Property Release Amount and that Lender has received true and correct copies of all the Reversionary Property Transfer Documents, and that no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing on the effective date of such release; and

(vii) Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title insurance premiums and recording fees and charges) actually incurred by Lender in connection with the Transfer of the Reversionary Property.

(g) With respect to any proposed Transfer of the Reversionary Property, on or prior to the scheduled closing of such Transfer, if all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.11(f) with respect to such Transfer have been satisfied, Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, shall execute and deliver to Borrower the releases, reconveyances, satisfactions, discharges and/or assignments, as applicable and as reasonably requested by Borrower, of the applicable

 

100


Loan Documents relating to the Reversionary Property. Upon the closing of the Transfer of the Reversionary Property as contemplated herein, all references in this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents to the “Property” shall be deemed to exclude the Reversionary Property.

(h) Borrower and Lender acknowledge that Borrower has delivered, or shall deliver, to Lender an original executed copy of that certain Timeshare Advance and Marketing Fee Payment Bond, dated as of the date hereof, in the amount of $6,000,000.00, issued by Westgate, as principal, and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, as surety, in favor of Borrower and TSP Owner and designated as Bond No. 964013668 (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented, renewed, extended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Timeshare Project Payment Bond”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon Lender’s receipt of a written request from Borrower, which request shall describe in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Borrower’s need to have physical possession of the Timeshare Project Payment Bond, Lender shall promptly release the Timeshare Project Payment Bond to Borrower. Absent Lender’s receipt of such a written request from Borrower, Lender (or any servicer, custodian or agent of Lender, on Lender’s behalf) shall be entitled to maintain possession of the Timeshare Project Payment Bond on behalf of Borrower, which Timeshare Project Payment Bond shall constitute additional security for the Loan in accordance with the Collateral Assignment of Timeshare Project Proceeds. Following the release by Lender of the Timeshare Project Payment Bond to Borrower and to the extent that the Timeshare Project Payment Bond remains outstanding, Borrower agrees to return possession of the Timeshare Project Payment Bond to Lender promptly after Borrower’s need for physical possession thereof has concluded. Borrower further agrees to deliver to Lender any further documents that amend, restate, replace, supplement, renew, extend or otherwise modify the Timeshare Project Payment Bond.

5.2.12. Intentionally Omitted.

5.2.13. ERISA. (a) Borrower and Manager shall not, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause their ERISA Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in any transaction in connection with which Borrower, Manager or any ERISA Affiliate could be subject to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of Section 502 of ERISA or a material tax imposed under the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions;

(ii) (x) terminate any Pension Plan in a “distress termination” under Section 4041 of ERISA, or take any other action which could result in a liability of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC or (y) withdraw from a Multiemployer Plan , except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions;

(iii) fail to make payment when due of all amounts which, under the provisions of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is required to pay as contributions thereto, or, with respect to any Pension Plan, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions; or

 

101


(iv) adopt an amendment to any Pension Plan requiring the provision of security under Section 307 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29) of the Code, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions.

(b) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, either alone or in the aggregate with all other such events or conditions, Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall reasonably require, to the extent commercially available and consistent with industry standards, including sublimits; (y) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to the extent commercially available and consistent with industry standards, including sublimits, in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and (z) windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to the extent commercially available and consistent with industry standards, including sublimits, in the event that the

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of debt service, continuing expenses and necessary payroll for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.6 and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(iii) shall be held by Lender and on each Payment Date, Lender shall deposit the amount of such business income insurance allocable to such month into the Cash Management Account and applied as provided in Section 2.6.4(a), provided, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(xiii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as are agreed to by Borrower and Lender from time to time against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located, to the extent commercially available.

 

104


(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized by applicable Governmental Authorities to do business in the State of Nevada and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which shall be either S&P or Moody’s); provided, however, that if the insurance required to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be obtained from a syndicate of five (5) or more insurers, then the foregoing requirement shall not be violated if (A) the primary layer of such insurance is provided by insurers rated “A-” or better (and the equivalent thereof), and (B) at least sixty percent (60%) of the total insured amounts are provided by insurers rated “A-” or better by S&P or Moody’s, but in no event shall the rating or any insurer in such syndicate be less than “A-:VIII” or better in the current AM Best’s Key Rating Guide, provided that Lender shall have the right to receive any information regarding any reinsurance carrier of any primary insurance provider under this Section 6.1(b). The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) (other than those strictly limited to liability protection and workers compensation) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not more than twenty (20) days following the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the earthquake insurance policy may be issued by any insurer rated “A:VIII” or better in the current AM Best’s Key Rating Guide regardless of whether or not it satisfies the other rating requirements contained herein.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v) and (vi), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned.

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

105


(g) The insurance coverage required under Section 6.1 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Property, provided that Borrower provides to Lender with a Statement of Values showing the spread of locations and total insured values for all location included under the blanket policy.

(h) Lender agrees to negotiate in good faith with Borrower regarding changes to Borrower’s insurance program reasonably requested by Borrower.

(i) Borrower shall not materially change the Policies (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancel the Policies without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured.

(j) Borrower shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration.

(k) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

Section 6.2. Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $15,000,000 and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

Section 6.3. Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of

 

106


expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Section 6.4. Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $15,000,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $15,000,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $15,000,000 or the cost of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $15,000,000, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4.

107


(D) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Material Operating Agreement if the failure to complete by such date could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (unless it is reasonably determined that such Operating Agreement can be replaced with another on equivalent or better terms), (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);

(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of

 

108


evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, to the extent payment is due, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender in its reasonable discretion and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender in its reasonable discretion and the Casualty Consultant.

The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until 50% of the applicable trade with respect to the Restoration has been completed and 5% thereafter. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed or 50% completed, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and, with respect to the last 5% retainage, that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance

 

109


Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month, unless mutually agreed to by Lender and Borrower.

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with Borrower and the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.

(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.

(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Escrow Account. On the date hereof, there is $5,718,389.69 currently on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account. On each Payment Date beginning on the first (1st) Payment Date after the date hereof, Borrower will deposit with Lender an amount equal to one twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (or in the case of a blanket policy, one twelfth of the portion of the Insurance Premiums under such blanket policy that Lender determines are allocable to the Property) in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums (or in the case of a blanket policy, the portion thereof determined by Lender to be allocable to the Property) at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account.” The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payment of the monthly Debt Service, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Section 8.2. Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, that Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay all costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. Unless an Event of Default shall exist, all reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by Lender.

(c) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Subject to applicable law, Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may

 

124


determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender, Lender’s Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of the making or holding or enforcement of the Loan, including, but not limited to any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by reason of a Borrower request and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 10.14. Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.

Section 10.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

135

All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.

in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Supplemental Discussion of Pro Forma Harrah's Operating Company Results

EXHIBIT 99

Supplemental Discussion of Financial Harrah’s Operating Company Results

On January 28, 2008, Harrah’s Entertainment was acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) and TPG Capital, LP (“TPG”) in an all cash transaction, hereinafter referred to as the “Acquisition.” A substantial portion of the financing of the Acquisition is comprised of bank and bond financing obtained by Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. (“HOC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment. This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries that own properties that are secured under $5,551.5 million of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) financing. Therefore, we believe it is meaningful to provide financial information pertaining solely to the consolidated financial position and results of operations of HOC and its subsidiaries.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR HOC

The following tables represent HOC’s unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, and its unaudited condensed combined statements of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, declined primarily due to the continuing impact of the recession on customers’ discretionary spending and reduced aggregate demand, which continued to pressure average daily room rates. Income from operations declined as cost-savings initiatives were unable to offset the earnings impact of the revenue decline.

Included in income from operations for each grouping are project opening costs and write-downs, reserves and recoveries. Project opening costs include costs incurred in connection with expansion and renovation projects at various properties. Write-downs, reserves and recoveries include various pretax charges to record asset impairments, contingent liability reserves, demolition costs, recoveries of previously recorded non-routine charges and other non-routine transactions.

On February 19, 2010, HOC acquired 100% of the equity interests of PHW Las Vegas, LLC (“PHW Las Vegas”), which owns and operates the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino (“Planet Hollywood”) located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Net revenues and income from continuing operations before income taxes (excluding transaction costs associated with the acquisition) of Planet Hollywood subsequent to the date of acquisition through March 31, 2010 of $26.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, are included in consolidated results from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenues and income from operations were higher than in the comparable quarter of the prior year, driven primarily by higher customer spend per trip, combined with the inclusion of results related to the 2010 acquisition of Planet Hollywood. Same-store net revenues, which excludes revenues resulting from the acquisition of Planet Hollywood, increased by 2.7 percent in the 2010 first quarter when compared to the prior year. Although hotel occupancy remained strong, average room rates declined due to increased room inventory on the market. Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 improved over the comparable period of 2009 due to the earnings impact of the increased revenues.

An expansion and renovation of Caesars Palace Las Vegas was completed in stages during 2009 on the Octavius Tower, a new hotel tower with 110,000 square feet of additional meeting and convention space, three 10,000-square-foot luxury villa suites and an expanded pool and garden area. We have deferred completion of approximately 660 rooms, including 75 luxury suites, in the hotel tower expansion as a result of current economic conditions impacting the Las Vegas tourism sector. The convention center and the remainder of the expansion project, other than the deferred rooms, was completed during 2009. The Company has incurred capital expenditures of approximately $646.7 million on this project through March 31, 2010, and does not expect to incur significant additional capital expenditures on this project until construction on the deferred rooms is resumed.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were lower than in the comparable prior year quarter due to reduced visitation and spend per trip, plus unusually harsh winter storms. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, cost savings initiatives were unable to offset increased marketing expenses and the earnings impact of reduced revenues, which contributed to the 2010 decline in income from operations.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from our properties in Louisiana and Mississippi were lower than the comparable prior year quarter driven by lower visitation and customer spend per trip. Income from operations was lower than in the 2009 first quarter as cost-savings initiatives were unable to offset increased marketing expenses and the earnings impact of reduced revenues.

Construction began in third quarter 2007 on Margaritaville Casino & Resort in Biloxi. We have halted construction on this project, and will continue to review and refine the project in light of the current economic environment, market conditions on the Gulf Coast and the current financing environment. We license the Margaritaville name from an entity affiliated with the singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett. As of March 31, 2010, $178.5 million had been spent on this project.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 at our Iowa and Missouri properties were slightly lower compared to the same period last year due to new competition in the market and the continuing impact of the weak economy. Income from operations remained relatively consistent compared with the 2009 first quarter as cost savings initiatives across all properties within the region helped offset the earnings impact of the revenue decline.

Revenues declined slightly in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 due to the continuing impact of the weak economy. Included in income from operations for the prior year was the write-down of assets of $6.9 million at the Company’s Horseshoe Hammond property. Prior to the consideration of this charge, income from operations in first quarter 2010 declined when compared to 2009 as cost savings initiatives were insufficient to offset the earnings impact of the revenue decline.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenues from our Nevada properties outside of Las Vegas were lower than in the 2009 period due to lower customer spend per trip. In the first quarter 2010, the impact of lower revenues on income from operations was more than offset by cost savings initiatives implemented at the properties.

Managed and international include income from our managed properties and results of our international properties. Revenues from our Managed and International properties rose in the 2010 first quarter due to strong volumes at our Uruguay property and favorable foreign exchange impact in the London Clubs businesses. Income from operations increased in the 2010 first quarter compared to 2009 as a result of the earnings impact of increased revenues.

Corporate expense increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009 due to increased marketing expenditures.

Write-downs, reserves and recoveries include various pretax charges to record certain long-lived tangible asset impairments, contingent liability reserves, demolition costs, recoveries of previously recorded non-routine reserves and other non-routine

transactions. Given the nature of the transactions included within write-downs, reserves and recoveries, these amounts are not expected to be comparable from year-to-year, nor are the amounts expected to follow any particular trend from year-to-year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, total write-downs, reserves and recoveries were $5.3 million, a reduction of $12.6 million recorded during the comparable quarter of 2009. Amounts incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 for remediation costs were $8.8 million, and increased by $8.3 million when compared to the first quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting these charges was the release of a $4.8 million reserve for excise tax for which the statute of limitations had recently expired.

Acquisition and integration costs in 2010 include costs incurred in connection with our acquisition of PHW Las Vegas.

Amortization of intangible assets was slightly lower in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 due to lower intangible asset balances as a result of certain contract rights being fully amortized during 2009.

Interest expense increased by $17.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to changes in the variable rates received under our interest rate swap agreements. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as a result of interest rate swap agreements, includes (i) $3.6 million of expense due to measured ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing; and (ii) $2.4 million of expense due to amortization of deferred losses frozen in other comprehensive income.

As a result of the cancellation of our debt investment in certain predecessor entities of PHW Las Vegas in exchange for the equity of PHW Las Vegas, the Company recognized a gain of $7.1 million to adjust our investment to reflect the estimated fair value of consideration paid for the acquisition. This gain is reflected in Other income, including interest income, in the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. In addition, other income for all periods presented included insurance policy proceeds related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

For the 2010 first quarter, HOC recorded a tax benefit of $72.4 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $235.4 million (an effective tax rate of 30.8 percent), compared with a tax benefit of $73.9 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $202.7 million in the 2009 first quarter (an effective tax rate of 36.5 percent). The primary differences between HOC’s first-quarter 2010 recorded benefit and the benefit that would have resulted from applying the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35 percent to HOC’s pre-tax loss from continuing operations are the effects of state income tax benefits and other adjustments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cost Savings Initiatives

In light of the severe economic downturn and adverse conditions in the travel and leisure industry generally, Harrah’s Entertainment has undertaken a comprehensive cost reduction effort to right-size expenses with business levels. Beginning in August 2008, the program includes organizational restructurings at our corporate and property operations, reduction of employee travel and entertainment expenses, rationalization of our corporate-wide marketing expenses, procurement and headcount reductions at property operations and corporate offices. To date, Harrah’s Entertainment has identified $683.0 million in estimated cost savings from these initiatives, of which approximately $540.6 million had been realized in the trailing twelve month period ending March 31, 2010.

In accordance with our shared services agreement with Harrah’s Entertainment, $491.7 million of these estimated cost savings and $389.2 million of the trailing twelve months realized cost savings have been allocated to Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc.

Capital Spending and Development

In addition to the development and expansion projects discussed in the “Regional Operating Results” section, we also perform on-going refurbishment and maintenance at our casino entertainment facilities to maintain our quality standards, and we continue to pursue development and acquisition opportunities for additional casino entertainment facilities that meet our strategic and return on investment criteria. Prior to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, the costs of pursuing development projects are expensed as incurred. Construction-related costs incurred after the receipt of necessary approvals are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the resulting asset. Project opening costs are expensed as incurred.

Our planned development projects, if they go forward, will require, individually and in the aggregate, significant capital commitments and, if completed, may result in significant additional revenues. The commitment of capital, the timing of completion and the commencement of operations of casino entertainment development projects are contingent upon, among other things, negotiation of final agreements and receipt of approvals from the appropriate political and regulatory bodies. We must also comply with covenants and restrictions set forth in our debt agreements. Cash needed to finance projects currently under development as well as additional projects being pursued is expected to be made available from operating cash flows, established debt programs, joint venture partners, specific project financing, guarantees of third-party debt and additional debt offerings. Our capital spending for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, excluding costs related to the acquisition of Planet Hollywood, totaled approximately $27.3 million. Estimated total capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be between $160 million and $220 million.

Liquidity

We generate substantial cash flows from operating activities, as reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in our audited consolidated financial statements. We use the cash flows generated by our operations to fund debt service, to reinvest in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects and to pursue additional growth opportunities via new development. When necessary, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with funds provided by financing activities to balance our cash requirements.

Our ability to fund our operations, pay our debt obligations and fund planned capital expenditures depends, in part, upon economic and other factors that are beyond our control, and disruptions in capital markets and restrictive covenants related to our existing debt could impact our ability to secure additional funds through financing activities. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, our cash flows from operations and the financing sources discussed herein will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements during the next twelve months and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, we may consider issuing additional debt in the future to refinance existing debt or to finance specific capital projects.

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us, to fund our liquidity needs and pay our indebtedness. If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs or pay our indebtedness when it is due, we may have to reduce or delay refurbishment and expansion projects, reduce expenses, sell assets or attempt to restructure our debt. In addition, we have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under certain of our debt agreements, and if any of those lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $567.4 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $568.8 million at December 31, 2009.

Capital Resources

The majority of our debt is due in 2015 and beyond. Payments of short-term debt obligations and other commitments are expected to be made from operating cash flows and from borrowings under our established debt programs. Long-term obligations are expected to be paid through operating cash flows, refinancing of debt, joint venture partners or, if necessary, additional debt offerings.

At March 31, 2010, $191.6 million, face amount, of our 5.5% Senior Notes due July 1, 2010, and $25.0 million, face amount, of our 6.0% Secured Note due July 15, 2010, are classified as long-term in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet because the Company currently has both the intent and the ability to refinance these notes with proceeds from $750 million principal amount of 12.75% Senior Secured notes issued April 16, 2010, discussed further below. Our current maturities of debt include required interim principal payments on each of our Term Loans, our Chester Downs term loan, and the special improvement district bonds.

On April 16, 2010, Harrah’s Operating Escrow LLC and Harrah’s Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of HOC, completed the offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.75% second-priority senior secured notes due 2018. In connection with the issuance of the notes, on April 16, 2010, we delivered notices of redemption (each, a “Redemption Notice”, and collectively, the “Redemption Notices”) to the holders of our currently outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “5.50% Notes”), 8.0% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “8.0% Notes”) and 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “8.125% Notes” and, collectively with the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, the “2010/2011 Notes”). The Redemption Notices provide for our redemption on May 20, 2010 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the terms of the indentures relating to the 2010/2011 Notes, of all $17.6 million of 8.125% Notes, $191.6 million of 5.50% Notes and $13.2 million of 8.0% Notes at a redemption price of (a) in the case of the 8.125% Notes, 100% of the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes to be redeemed plus the

Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the indenture relating to the 8.125% Notes), and (b) in the case of each of the 5.50% Notes and the 8.0% Notes, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of such Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus, in the case of both (a) and (b), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

Credit Agreement and Incremental Facility Amendment

In connection with the Acquisition, HOC entered into the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). This financing is neither secured nor guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment’s other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own properties that are security for certain real estate loans (the “CMBS Financing”) and certain subsidiaries of HOC that are unrestricted subsidiaries. In late 2009, HOC completed cash tender offers for certain of its outstanding debt, and in connection with these tender offers, HOC borrowed $1,000 million of new term loans under its Credit Facilities pursuant to an incremental amendment (the “Incremental Loans”).

As of March 31, 2010, our Credit Facilities provide for senior secured financing of up to $8,457.6 million, consisting of (i) senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $6,827.6 million with $5,830.1 million maturing on January 20, 2015 and $997.5 million maturing on October 31, 2016, and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,630.0 million, maturing January 28, 2014, including both a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. The term loans under the Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments of $7.5 million, with the balance due at maturity. A total of $7,327.6 million face amount of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2010, with an additional $133.5 million committed to letters of credit. After consideration of these borrowings and letters of credit, $996.5 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to the Company under its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2010.

Interest and Fees

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities, other than borrowings under the Incremental Loans, bear interest at a rate equal to the then-current LIBOR rate or at a rate equal to the alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2010, the Credit Facilities, other than borrowings under the Incremental Loans, bore interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points for the term loans and a portion of the revolver loan, 150 basis points over the alternate base rate for the swingline loan and at the alternate base rate plus 200 basis points for the remainder of the revolver loan.

Borrowings under the Incremental Loans bear interest at a rate equal to either the alternate base rate or the greater of i) the then-current LIBOR rate or ii) 2.0%; in each case plus an applicable margin. At March 31, 2010, borrowings under the Incremental Loans bore interest at the minimum base rate of 2.0%, plus 750 basis points.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, we are required to pay each lender (i) a commitment fee in respect of any unborrowed amounts under the revolving credit facility and (ii) a letter of credit fee in respect of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2010, the Credit Facilities bore a commitment fee for unborrowed amounts of 50 basis points.

Our outstanding notes (secured and unsecured) have semi-annual interest payments, with the majority of those payments on June 15 and December 15.

A change in interest rates on variable-rate debt will impact our financial results. For example, assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate debt, excluding the $5,810 million of variable-rate debt for which our interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, for the next twelve months, a hypothetical 1% increase in corresponding interest rates would change interest expense for the twelve months following March 31, 2010 by approximately $10.9 million. At March 31, 2010, the three-month USD LIBOR rate was 0.268%. A hypothetical reduction of this rate to 0% would decrease interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $2.9 million. At March 31, 2010, our variable-rate debt, excluding the aforementioned $5,810 million of variable-rate debt hedged against interest rate swap agreements, represents approximately 14.5% of our total debt, while our fixed-rate debt is approximately 85.5% of our total debt.

Collateral and Guarantors

HOC’s Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Harrah’s Entertainment, and are secured by a pledge of HOC’s capital stock and by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of HOC and its material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries other than certain unrestricted subsidiaries, including a pledge of the capital stock of HOC’s material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries, in each case subject to exceptions.

Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters

The Credit Facilities require compliance on a quarterly basis with a maximum net senior secured first lien debt leverage test. In addition, the Credit Facilities include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting HOC’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions (iv) make certain investments, loans and advances; (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire all or any substantial part of assets of any other person; (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; (viii) engage in any business other than the business activity conducted at the closing date of the loan or business activities incidental or related thereto; (ix) amend or modify the articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws and certain agreements or make certain payments or modifications of indebtedness; and (x) designate or permit the designation of any indebtedness as “Designated Senior Debt”.

Harrah’s Entertainment is not bound by any financial or negative covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement, other than with respect to the incurrence of liens on and the pledge of its stock of HOC.

All borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the requirement that such borrowing does not reduce the amount of obligations otherwise permitted to be secured under our new senior secured credit facilities without ratably securing the retained notes.

Certain covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement require the maintenance of a senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio, as defined in the agreements (“Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”). The June 3, 2009 amendment and waiver to our credit agreement excludes from the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (a) the $1,375.0 million first lien notes issued June 15, 2009 and the $720.0 million first lien notes issued on September 11, 2009 and (b) up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain covenants contained in HOC’s credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities, the indenture and other agreements governing HOC’s 10.0% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and 2018, and our first lien notes restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet defined Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges, senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratios. The covenants that restrict additional indebtedness and the ability to make future acquisitions require an LTM Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio (measured on a trailing four-quarter basis) of 2.0:1.0. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions.

 

15


The indenture governing the 10.75% Senior Notes, 10.75%/11.5% Senior Toggle Notes and the agreements governing the other cash pay debt and PIK toggle debt limit HOC’s (and most of its subsidiaries’) ability to among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) with respect to HOC only, engage in any business or own any material asset other than all of the equity interest of HOC so long as certain investors hold a majority of the notes; (vi) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting its restricted subsidiaries; (vii) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (viii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (ix) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; and (x) designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing the other cash pay debt and PIK toggle debt will permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

Other Financing Transactions

Acquisition of Planet Hollywood

On February 19, 2010, HOC acquired 100% of the equity interests of PHW Las Vegas, which owns and operates the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In connection with this transaction, PHW Las Vegas assumed a $554.3 million, face value, senior secured loan, and a subsidiary of HOC cancelled certain debt issued by PHW Las Vegas’ predecessor entities. In connection with the transaction and the assumption of debt, PHW Las Vegas entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee for The Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-TFL2 (“Lender”). The $554.3 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.859% (the “Applicable Interest Rate”), is secured by the assets of PHW Las Vegas, and is non-recourse to other subsidiaries of the Company. PHW Las Vegas is an unrestricted subsidiary of HOC and therefore not a borrower under HOC’s credit facilities. A subsidiary of HOC manages the property for PHW Las Vegas for a fee. The maturity date for this loan is December 2011, with two extension options, which, if exercised, would extend maturity until April 2015.

Guaranty

In connection with PHW Las Vegas’ Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Harrah’s Entertainment entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) for the benefit of Lender pursuant to which Harrah’s Entertainment guaranteed to Lender certain recourse liabilities of PHW Las Vegas. Harrah’s Entertainment’s maximum aggregate liability for such recourse liabilities is limited to $30.0 million provided that such recourse liabilities of PHW Las Vegas do not arise from (i) events, acts, or circumstances that are actually committed by, or voluntarily or willfully brought about by Harrah’s Entertainment or (ii) event, acts, or circumstances (regardless of the cause of the same) that provide actual benefit (in cash, cash equivalent, or other quantifiable amount) to the Registrant, to the full extent of the actual benefit received by the Registrant. Pursuant to the Guaranty, Harrah’s Entertainment is required to maintain a net worth or liquid assets of at least $100.0 million.

Prepayments

PHW Las Vegas may, at its option, voluntarily prepay the loan in whole or in part upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to Lender.

PHW Las Vegas is required to prepay the loan in (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Lender for which Lender is not obligated to make available to PHW Las Vegas for restoration in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, (ii) the amount of any proceeds received from the operator of the timeshare property adjacent to the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, subject to the limitations set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and (iii) the amount of any excess cash remaining after application of the cash management provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

Amortization

On each scheduled monthly payment date prior to the maturity date, PHW Las Vegas pays to Lender interest accruing at the Applicable Interest Rate.

Derivative Instruments

We use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of March 31, 2010 we have entered into 10 interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $6,500 million. The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements will have a corresponding effect on future cash flows. The major terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2010 are as follows:

The variable rate on our interest rate swap agreements did not materially change as a result of the April 26, 2010 reset.

Until October 2009, our interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. During October 2009, we borrowed $1,000 million under the Incremental Loans and used a majority of the net proceeds to temporarily repay most of our revolving debt under the Credit Facility. As a result, we no longer had a sufficient amount of outstanding debt under the same terms as our interest rate swap agreements to support hedge accounting treatment for the full $6,500 million in interest rate swaps. Thus, as of September 30, 2009, we removed the cash flow hedge designation for the $1,000 million swap agreement, freezing the amount of deferred losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income associated with this swap agreement, and reducing the total notional amount on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments to $5,500 million. Beginning October 1, 2009, we began amortizing deferred losses frozen in Other Comprehensive Income into income over the original remaining term of the hedged forecasted transactions that are still considered to be probable of occurring. We will record $8.7 million as an increase to interest expense and other comprehensive income over the next 12 months related to the $1,000 million interest rate swap.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we re-designated approximately $310 million of the $1,000 million swap as a cash flow hedging instrument. As a result, at March 31, 2010, $5,810 million of our total interest rate swap notional amount of $6,500 million remained designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Any future changes in fair value of the portion of the interest rate swap not designated as a hedging instrument will be recognized in Interest expense during the period in which the changes in value occur.

On April 5, 2010, HOC entered into an interest rate cap agreement to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate of the PHW Las Vegas senior secured loan. The interest rate cap agreement is for a notional amount of $554.3 million at a LIBOR cap rate of 5%, and matures on December 9, 2011. To give proper consideration to the prepayment requirements of the PHW Las Vegas term loan, we designated only $525 million of the $554.3 million notional amount of the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedging instrument for accounting purposes.

In addition to the impact on interest expense from amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income, the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense and is paid quarterly. This cash settlement portion of the interest rate swap agreements increased interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 by approximately $66.4 million and $43.2 million, respectively.

The agreements pursuant to which we manage casinos on Indian lands contain provisions required by law that provide that a minimum monthly payment be made to the tribe. That obligation has priority over scheduled repayments of borrowings for development costs and over the management fee earned and paid to the manager. In the event that insufficient cash flow is generated by the operations to fund this payment, we must pay the shortfall to the tribe. Subject to certain limitations as to time, such advances, if any, would be repaid to us in future periods in which operations generate cash flow in excess of the required minimum payment. These commitments will terminate upon the occurrence of certain defined events, including termination of the management contract. Our aggregate monthly commitment for the minimum guaranteed payments, pursuant to these contracts for the three managed Indian-owned facilities now open, which extend for periods of up to 57 months from March 31, 2010, is $1.2 million. Each of these casinos currently generates sufficient cash flows to cover all of its obligations, including its debt service.

DEBT COVENANT COMPLIANCE

Our credit agreement requires the maintenance of a senior first priority secured debt to last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio, as defined in the agreement (“Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”). The amendment and waiver to our credit agreement excludes from the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (a) notes secured with a first priority lien on the assets of HOC and its subsidiaries that secure the senior secured credit facilities (including the $1.375 billion First Lien Notes issued June 15, 2009 and the $720 million Additional First Lien Notes issued on September 11, 2009) that collectively result in up to $2 billion in net proceeds (provided that the aggregate face amount of all notes shall not exceed $2.2 billion) and (b) up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated debt of subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned subsidiaries. PHW Las Vegas is an unrestricted subsidiary of HOC and therefore not a borrower under HOC’s credit facilities. A subsidiary of HOC manages the property for PHW Las Vegas for a fee.

Certain covenants contained in our credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities, the indenture and other agreements governing our 10.0% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and 2018 restrict our ability to take certain actions such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions if we are unable to meet defined Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges, senior secured debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratios. The covenants that restrict additional indebtedness and the ability to make future acquisitions require an LTM Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio (measured on a trailing four-quarter basis) of 2.0:1.0. Failure to comply with these covenants can result in limiting our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to incur future indebtedness or grow through acquisitions.

We believe we are in compliance with our credit agreement and indentures, including the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as of March 31, 2010. If our LTM Adjusted EBITDA were to decline significantly from the level achieved at March 31, 2010, it could cause us to exceed the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and could be an Event of Default under our credit agreement. However, we could implement certain actions in an effort to minimize the possibility of a breach of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, including reducing payroll and other operating costs, deferring or eliminating certain maintenance, delaying or deferring capital expenditures, or selling assets. In addition, under certain circumstances, our credit agreement allows us to apply the cash contributions received by HOC as a capital contribution to cure covenant breaches. However, there is no guarantee that such contributions will be able to be secured.

EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income from continuing operations as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Our presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in reviewing business performance because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management. EBITDA can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than U.S. GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. LTM Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture and other agreements governing the 10.0% Second-Priority Senior Notes and/or our senior secured credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting LTM Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to lenders and investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted EBITDA does not include adjustments related to unrestricted subsidiaries of HOC. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of LTM Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
