INTRODUCTORY NOTE
As previously reported, on July 12, 2010, Riviera Holdings Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “RHC”), Riviera Operating Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“ROC”) and Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“RBH” and together with the Company and ROC, the “Debtors”) filed petitions for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On November 17, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered a written order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On December 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.
On April 1, 2011 (the “Substantial Consummation Date”), the Debtors emerged from reorganization proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Reorganized Debtors”).
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with their emergence, the Reorganized Debtors entered into first and second lien credit agreements described below. These agreements are governed by an intercreditor agreement (also described below). The Company also entered into a Stockholders Agreement with the stockholder holding all of the Company’s voting common stock and certain stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s non-voting common stock.
A. Series A Credit Agreement
On the Substantial Consummation Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company, as borrower, executed a first lien credit agreement (the “Series A Credit Agreement”) among ROC and RBH, as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Series A Credit Agreement provides for initial aggregate lender commitments of $60 million, including a $50 million term loan facility (the “Series A Term Loan”) and a $10 million revolving loan (the “Working Capital Facility”). The Working Capital Facility provides for a letter of credit facility and a swingline loan facility with sublimits of $5 million and $2 million respectively. The Series A Credit Agreement has a maturity date of April 1, 2016. Each holder of a claim (a) arising under, or in any way related to, that certain credit agreement dated as of June 8, 2007 (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) between the Debtors, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“Wachovia”) and the lenders from time to time party thereto for prepetition interest and fees on account of the term and revolving loans thereunder or (b) with respect to the periodic payments due under that certain master agreement dated as of May 31, 2007 (the “Senior Hedging Agreement”) between RHC and Wachovia and any interest accrued thereon of such claims (collectively, the “First Priority Senior Secured Claims”), received, in full and final satisfaction of each such First Priority Senior Secured Claim, a portion of the Series A Term Loan in principal amount equal to each such First Priority Senior Secured Claim. Availability of the revolving loans under the Working Capital Facility are subject to certain conditions provided for in the Series A Credit Agreement. The proceeds of extensions of credit under the Series A Credit Agreement can be used by RHC for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Interest will accrue at a LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) for a specified interest period (with a floor of 2.0%) plus a margin rate of 5.0% per annum or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined below) plus a margin rate of 4.0% per annum. Alternate base rate (“Alternate Base Rate”) interest is an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the Federal Funds Effective rate (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) the LIBOR Rate that would be payable on such day for LIBOR Rate Loan (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) with one month interest period plus 1.00%. Interest payable under the Series A Credit Agreement with respect to Alternate Base Rate loans based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other amounts payable under the Series A Credit Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed. Interest due on Alternate Base Rate loans under the Series A Credit Agreement is payable in cash on the last business day of each March, June, September and December and the applicable maturity date. Interest due on LIBOR Rate Loans having an interest period of three months or less is payable on the last day of such interest period; interest due on LIBOR Rate Loans having an interest period longer than three months is payable on each three month anniversary following the first day of such interest period and the last day of such interest period.
The Company is required to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee and customary fees to the administrative agent. The Company is also required to pay quarterly participation and fronting fees based on the amount of the letter of credit exposure of the applicable lenders and letter of credit issuers, respectively.

The obligations under the Series A Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Series A Credit Agreement and are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its Domestic Subsidiaries’ assets, other than a deposit account into which the proceeds of the Series B Term Loan (as defined below) was deposited on the Substantial Consummation Date (the “Series B Term Loan Controlled Account”).
The Series A Credit Agreement permits voluntary prepayments of amounts borrowed and reductions or terminations of the revolving commitments pursuant to notice requirements.
The Series A Credit Agreement subjects the Company to certain customary affirmative covenants, including the delivery of financial statements and annual operating budgets. In addition, the Series A Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge.
In addition, the Series A Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults, failure of any guarantee of the loan obligations or any loan document to be in full force and effect, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement), certain ERISA defaults and failure to keep any necessary casino licenses in full force and effect. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, amounts due under the Series A Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders under the Series A Credit Agreement may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing obligations under the Series A Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Series A Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
B. Series B Credit Agreement
On the Substantial Consummation Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company, as borrower, executed a second lien credit agreement (the “Series B Credit Agreement”) among ROC and RBH, as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Series B Credit Agreement provides for, and governs the terms of, a $20 million term loan facility (the “Series B Term Loan”).
All interest, fees and other amounts payable under the Series B Credit Agreement will be calculated on a 360-day year for actual days elapsed. The Series B Term Loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement) plus 3.0%, payable in cash, and the LIBOR Rate plus 13.00%, payable in kind in interest that will be recapitalized as principal.
The Company is required to pay a customary fee to the administrative agent.
The obligations under the Series B Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Series B Credit Agreement and are secured by (a) a first priority security interest on Series B Term Loan Controlled Account and (b) a second priority security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its Domestic Subsidiaries’ other assets.
The Series B Credit Agreement permits voluntary prepayments of amounts borrowed pursuant to notice requirements.
The Series B Credit Agreement subjects the Company to certain customary affirmative covenants, including the delivery of financial statements and annual operating budgets. In addition, the Series B Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge.
In addition, the Series B Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults, failure of any guarantee of the loan obligations or any loan document to be in full force and effect, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement), certain ERISA defaults and failure to keep any necessary casino licenses in full force and effect. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, amounts due under the Series B Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders under the Series B Credit Agreement may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing obligations under the Series B Credit Agreement.

The Intercreditor Agreement provides, among other things, that any lien on Common Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) granted to the Series A Agent for the benefit of the lenders under the Series A Credit Agreement will have priority over and be senior in all respects to any lien on the Common Collateral granted to the Series B Agent for the benefit of the lenders under the Series B Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Intercreditor Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
D. Stockholders Agreement
On the Substantial Consummation Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company, Riviera Voteco, L.L.C.

Among other things, the Stockholders Agreement contemplates an agreed composition of the Company’s Board of Directors and prohibits the transfer of the Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock unless Voteco determines that such transfer is not to a person who is a competitor of, or otherwise adverse to, the Company, and the Company is reasonably satisfied that such transfer will comply with certain requirements relating to securities, regulatory and other specified laws. Any purported transfer of the Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock will be null and void if not made in compliance with all applicable gaming laws and following receipt of all required gaming approvals. The Stockholders Agreement also subjects transfers of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, other than to certain affiliated transferees, to specified tag-along rights, drag-along rights, and a right of first offer. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement contains agreements among the parties with respect to certain governance matters, including director appointment and board observer rights, restrictions on the issuance of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company or other rights convertible to or to acquire such securities, restrictions on distributions, repurchases and pledges of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, registration rights with respect to holders of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, rights to indemnification and contribution and provisions related to conflicts of interests and transactions with affiliates.
