LOAN AGREEMENT

        THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of October 30, 2002 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this "Loan Agreement"), is by and among WYNN LAS VEGAS, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the "Borrower"), WELLS FARGO BANK NEVADA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, not in its individual capacity (except as specifically set forth herein), but solely as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent") and the Persons listed on Schedule IA hereto, as Lenders (each individually, together with any permitted successors and assigns, a "Lender," and, collectively, the "Lenders").


WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, the Lenders shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, make loans to the Borrower on each Advance Date; and

        WHEREAS, the Borrower will use the proceeds of such Loans (i) to make an intercompany loan to World Travel, (ii) to purchase, finance and/or refinance the acquisition of the Equipment and (iii) to pay Transaction Costs;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.    DEFINITIONS.

        Section 1.1.    Use of Defined Terms.    Unless the context shall otherwise require, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix I hereto (whether directly or by reference) for all purposes hereof; and the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix I hereto shall apply to this Loan Agreement.

SECTION 2.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO DOCUMENT CLOSING DATE; FUNDINGS; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

        Section 2.1.    Effectiveness of Loan Agreement.    This Loan Agreement shall be effective as of the Document Closing Date upon the satisfaction, and/or waiver by each of the Lenders, of each of the conditions precedent described in Section 3.1 of the Disbursement Agreement.

        All documents and instruments required to be delivered on the Document Closing Date to any party shall be delivered at the offices of Latham & Watkins (Los Angeles, California), or at such other location as the Collateral Agent and the Borrower may agree. The release by any party of its counterparts to this Loan Agreement shall constitute conclusive evidence of its satisfaction with the form and substance of each of the items so delivered under this Section 2.1.

        Section 2.2.    [Reserved].    

        Section 2.3.    Fundings Generally.    

        (a)(i)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and in reliance on the representations and warranties of each of the parties hereto contained herein or made pursuant hereto, upon receipt of the initial Advance Request, on the Initial Advance Date set forth in such Advance Request, each Lender shall make an Advance to the Borrower, which Advance shall be loaned by the Borrower to World Travel pursuant to the Intercompany Note, by making available by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions set forth in such Advance Request pursuant to Section 2.3(c) an amount in immediately available funds on the Initial Advance Date equal to such Lender's Aircraft Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such requested Advance.

        (ii)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and in reliance on the representations and warranties of each of the parties hereto contained herein or made pursuant hereto, upon receipt of an Advance Request, on each Advance Date (other than Initial Advance Date), each



Lender shall make an Advance to the Borrower for the payment of the Purchase Price of the Items of Equipment being acquired on such Advance Date by making available to Disbursement Agent by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Advance Request an amount in immediately available funds on such Advance Date equal to (A) such Lender's Gaming Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the requested Advance which represents the Purchase Price of Gaming Equipment and (B) such Lender's Non-Gaming Equipment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the requested Advance which represents the Purchase Price of Non-Gaming Equipment.

        (b)    Notes.    Each Lender's Commitment shall be evidenced by a note (a "Note") issued by the Borrower to such Lender and repayable in accordance with, and with Interest accruing pursuant to, the terms of this Loan Agreement.

        (c)    Advances to the Borrower.    (i) Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Advance required to be made by a Lender pursuant to any Operative Document shall be made by the Lenders depositing funds into the FF&E Proceeds Account (as referenced in Section 2.4.4 of the Disbursement Agreement) in the amount of such Advance to be disbursed by the Borrower or by the Disbursement Agent on behalf of the Borrower to the applicable Seller, the applicable reimbursement account or, with respect to Transaction Costs, the Persons entitled thereto. Such funding by the Lenders shall be deemed to constitute (A) the required funding from the Lenders pursuant to this Loan Agreement and the Disbursement Agreement and (B) the corresponding Advance to the Borrower.

        (ii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advance required to be made by the Lenders on the Initial Advance Date shall be made by the Lenders depositing funds into the account of the Collateral Agent for further distribution (A) to the lender under the Original Aircraft Financing Documents the amounts required to pay in full such lender and (B) to the Company's Funds Account (as such term is defined in the Disbursement Agreement) any amounts remaining from the funds deposited with the Collateral Agent in excess of the amounts required to pay the lender under the Original Aircraft Financing Documents. Such Funding will constitute the "refinancing of the Aircraft" and will evidence (x) the Loans by the Lenders to the Borrower, (y) the intercompany loan by the Borrower to World Travel, which loan shall be evidenced by the Intercompany Note, and (z) the repayment in full by World Travel of all amounts owing to the lender under the Original Aircraft Financing Documents.

        (iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advance required to be made by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Disbursement Agreement and which represents the FF&E Reimbursement Advance (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) shall be made by the Lenders depositing funds into the Company's Funds Account (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement).

        (d)    Advances; Limitations and Limits.    In addition to any other provision hereof, Lenders shall not be obligated to make an Advance to the Borrower, and no Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan to the Disbursement Agent, if, after giving effect to such Advance or Funding, (i) the aggregate outstanding amount of Loans would exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount, (ii) the aggregate amount of funds so provided by such Lender or Funding would exceed the amount of its Commitment in the aggregate or (iii) the aggregate amount of funds so provided by such Lender or Funding would exceed the amount of its Allocated Commitment with respect to the Type of Equipment or the Aircraft to be funded with such Advance.

        There shall be no more than one Advance made during any calendar month, which shall be made on the Advance Date occurring in such month. Each Advance shall be in a minimum amount not less than the lesser of $1,000,000 or the combined available Commitment of all of the Lenders with respect to such Type of Equipment or such other amount as the Borrower and Collateral Agent shall agree. All remittances made by Lenders for the funding of any Advance (other than on the Initial Advance Date) shall be made in immediately available federal funds by wire transfer to the Collection Account for deposit not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time, on the applicable Advance Date. The Funding by each Lender to the Collection Account of its respective portion of an Advance shall constitute

2



authorization and direction by such party to Disbursement Agent to make an advance pursuant to the Operative Documents.

        (e)    Termination of Commitments.    Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Commitments shall terminate and no Lender shall be obligated to make any fundings in respect of any Advance, and no Advance Date may thereafter occur upon the occurrence of the earlier of (A) 3:00 p.m., New York time on the Commitment Termination Date and (B) a termination of the Lenders' Commitments pursuant to Section 9.1.

        Section 2.4.    Preliminary Notice Review.    

        (a)    Preliminary Notice.    Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4.1(c) of the Disbursement Agreement, the Borrower and/or the Disbursement Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to Collateral Agent a copy of Appendix XI to the preliminary Advance Request and upon receipt thereof, Collateral Agent shall, on the same day, forward such copy of Appendix XI to the preliminary Advance Request to each Lender.

        (b)    Review.    The Lenders shall have the right to disapprove any items of Eligible FF&E Collateral (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) listed by the Borrower in Appendix XI to the Company's preliminary Advance Request as items to be funded in part by the Loans; provided, however, that any Lender's failure to so disapprove any items of Eligible FF&E Equipment identified by the Borrower on such Appendix XI within 5 Business Days from the Borrower's delivery thereof shall be deemed to constitute such Lenders' approval thereof and the items of Eligible FF&E Equipment identified on such Appendix XI shall be funded in part by the Loans.

        (c)    Approval.    In the event the Collateral Agent shall have received notice of the disapproval by the Required Lenders of all or any portion of the Eligible FF&E Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall so inform the Disbursement Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4.1(e) of the Disbursement Agreement.

        Section 2.5.    Advance Dates.    

        (a)    Notice and Closing.    Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4.3 of the Disbursement Agreement (or as may otherwise be agreed to by the Lenders with respect to the Initial Advance Date), the Borrower and/or the Disbursement Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to Collateral Agent an irrevocable and final written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the Disbursement Agreement (an "Advance Request"), (and upon receipt thereof, Collateral Agent shall, on the same day, forward such Advance Request to each Lender) setting forth:

              (i)  the proposed Advance Date;

            (ii)  a description of the Items of Equipment to be acquired and the Purchase Price (including a detailed description of the Transaction Costs to be funded by such Advance) applicable to each such Item of Equipment;

            (iii)  a statement of the amount of the requested Advance;

            (iv)  a certification by the Borrower that (A) such Advance complies with the limitations and conditions set forth in Section 2.3(d), and (B) all conditions to the making of such Advance under Section 4 have been satisfied except to the extent previously waived; and

            (v)  wire transfer instructions for the disbursement of the appropriate amount of funds to the appropriate account for disbursement in the manner described in Section 2.3.

        All documents and instruments required to be delivered on any Advance Date pursuant to the Operative Documents shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent, or at such other location as the Collateral Agent and the Borrower may agree. On the scheduled Advance Date, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5(a) and in Section 4, Lenders shall fund the

3


amount of the Advance by wire transfer to the appropriate account for disbursement in the manner described in Section 2.3.

        (b)    Commitment.    Subject to compliance by the Borrower with the terms of this Loan Agreement and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 4, the Lenders shall disburse the respective amounts of their Commitments in accordance with the requirements of this Loan Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

        (c)    Notes; Notations.    Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the date and amount of each funding made in respect of an Advance, each payment or repayment of principal and the length of each Payment Period with respect thereto on the grid annexed to and constituting a part of each Note issued to such Lender, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation or any errors in such recordation shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay principal and Interest.

        Section 2.6.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.    (a) If any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, then upon the written request of the affected Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the affected Lender a new Note. Such new Note shall be: (i) recorded in the name in which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note was recorded; (ii) in the same original face amount as such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note; and (iii) dated the date of such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note. If the Note being replaced has become mutilated, it shall be surrendered to the Borrower. If the Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the affected Lender shall furnish to the Borrower such security or indemnity as reasonably may be required by it to save the Borrower harmless from any loss and evidence satisfactory to the Borrower of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and the ownership thereof. Upon request, the Collateral Agent shall advise the affected Lender of: (i) the aggregate principal amount of, and the aggregate accrued Interest on, such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note that were paid to any Lender thereof at any time prior to the delivery of such new Note; and (ii) the date to which Interest on such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note had been paid to any Lender thereof at the time of such delivery.

        (b)  Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of such Note, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Note shall be found at any time.

        Section 2.7.    Fees.    The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth below (collectively, the "Fees"):

            (a)  on each Payment Date to each Lender, for its own account, a fee in an amount equal to (i) during the period from the Document Closing Date to, but not including, January 1, 2003, the product of 2.50% per annum multiplied by the amount of its Commitment that has not been funded on an Advance Date, (ii) during the period from and including January 1, 2003 to, but not including, July 1, 2003, the product of 3.00% per annum multiplied by the amount of its Commitment that has not been funded on an Advance Date and (iii) from and after July 1, 2003, the product of 4.00% per annum multiplied by the amount of its Commitment that has not been funded on an Advance Date (a "Commitment Fee");

            (b)  on the Document Closing Date, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Lender, a fee in an amount as described in each Lender's respective Participation Fee Letter (the "Participation Fee");

            (c)  to Trust Company, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter, payable in the amounts and on the dates set forth therein; and

Such overdue interest shall be payable on demand.

        (c)  Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, the Maturity Date and on any other day on which the Loan Balance, or a portion thereof, is to be reduced pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) Interest accruing pursuant to clause (b) shall be payable from time to time on demand and (ii) each prepayment of the Loans shall be accompanied by accrued Interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, plus Applicable Administrative Charge.

        Section 3.4.    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.    Subject to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.7 and 3.8, each payment (including, without limitation, each Required Prepayment and any payment of the Prepayment Option) by the Borrower on account of principal of and Interest on the Loans shall be made by the Borrower to Collateral Agent and allocated by the Collateral Agent pro rata among the Lenders according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by each such Lender and to the extent such payment represents a Required Prepayment or other payment on account of principal of the Loans such payment shall be allocated pro rata by such Lender between the Allocated Aircraft Value and Allocated Equipment Value in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective Allocated Aircraft Value and Allocated Equipment Value represented by the unpaid Loan Balance thereof. Subject to Sections 3.7 and 3.8, all payments (including, without limitation, each Required Prepayment and any payment of the Prepayment Option) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, Interest or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made by the Borrower to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time, to Collateral Agent's Payment Office (or to such other office as may be designated by Collateral Agent from time to time in a written notice pursuant to Section 13.6) in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment is due. Payments received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date due shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and shall be subject to interest at the Overdue Rate as provided in Section 3.3(b).

        Section 3.5.    Computations; Interest Rate Determination; Conclusive Determinations.    

        (a)    Computations.    All computations of interest at the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365—or 366—days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of accrued amounts pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year with respect to any determination. The Collateral Agent shall, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 12:00 noon New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the effectiveness of each Interest Rate, calculate such Interest Rate and notify the Borrower and each Lender thereof; provided that the failure to give or receive any such notice shall not limit the Borrower's obligations under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

        (b)    Interest Rate Determination.    So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders at least three Business Days prior to the initial day of an Interest Period, specify whether the Interest Rate to be applied during such Interest Period shall be the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate and in the event that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is to so apply, the applicable Interest Period. If the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders shall not have received such written notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default shall exist at time such selection

6



is to be made, the applicable Interest Rate specified by the Borrower for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be the Overdue Rate.

        (c)    Conclusive Determinations.    Each calculation of the Interest Rate by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any provisions of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed.

        Section 3.6.    Highest Lawful Rate.    It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Loan Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest or of other amounts constituting interest under any Requirement of Law shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, or otherwise contrary to provisions of law applicable to the recipient limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the recipient. Accordingly, if the transactions or the amount paid or otherwise agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate or otherwise be usurious under any Requirement of Law (including, without limitation, the federal and state laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable) with respect to the recipient of any such amount, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, it is agreed as follows as to the recipient of any such amount:

              (i)  the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall govern and control over any other provision in this Loan Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document, and each provision set forth therein is hereby so limited;

            (ii)  the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under any Requirement of Law that is contracted for, charged or received under this Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by such Requirement of Law (such maximum lawful interest rate, if any, with respect to such recipient herein called the "Highest Lawful Rate"), and all amounts owed under this Loan Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document shall be held subject to reduction and: (A) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable to the recipient hereunder and under the Notes and any other Loan Document shall be automatically reduced to the amount allowed under such Requirement of Law, and (B) any unearned interest paid in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be credited to the payor by the recipient (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, refunded to the payor);

            (iii)  all sums paid, or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance and detention of the money under this Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by any Requirement of Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof; and

            (iv)  if at any time the interest, together with any other fees, late charges and other sums payable pursuant to or in connection with this Loan Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document executed in connection herewith or therewith and deemed interest under any Requirement of Law, exceeds that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees, charges and sums to accrue to the recipient of such interest, fees, charges and sums pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, to that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate for the recipient, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue pursuant to the Loan Documents below the recipient's Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the recipient (including all consideration

7



    which constitutes interest) equals the amount of interest which would have been payable to the recipient (including all consideration which constitutes interest), plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section 3.6.

        Section 3.7.    Adjustment.    If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Loan made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loan made by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably, in the proportion that such Lender's Loan to which the payment applies bears to the total of all Loans to which the payment applies, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

        Section 3.8.    Payments and Distributions.    

        (a)  Subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, upon the occurrence of a Casualty, the exercise of the Prepayment Option with the proceeds of a Disposition permitted by Section 7.5(e) or Section 7.5(p), the exercise of the Bank Prepayment Option, or following the exercise of remedies by any Lender or by the Collateral Agent on its behalf, all payments to be made by Borrower relating thereto, all proceeds of Collateral and all related payments due and payable to the Lenders pursuant to any other Operative Document, shall, to the extent readily attributable to a Type of Equipment or the Aircraft, be distributed by the Collateral Agent as follows:

              (i)  first,

              (A)  in the case of any amount which is attributable to the Aircraft, to each of the Lenders an amount equal to such Lender's Aircraft Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount, for application against the Allocated Aircraft Value represented by such Lender's Note until all amounts due and owing each Lender whose Loans were used to refinance the Aircraft (or to pay any portion of the purchase price of any aircraft that becomes a Replacement Aircraft under the Aircraft Security Agreement), to the extent of such Lender's Allocable Aircraft Value, have been paid in full;

              (B)  in the case of any amount which is attributable to the Gaming Equipment, to each of the Lenders an amount equal to such Lender's Gaming Equipment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount, for application against the Allocated Equipment Value represented by such Lender's Note until all amounts due and owing each Lender whose Loans were used to pay the Purchase Price of Gaming Equipment, to the extent of such Lender's Allocable Equipment Value for Gaming Equipment, have been paid in full;

              (C)  in the case of any amount which is attributable to the Non-Gaming Equipment, to each of the Lenders an amount equal to such Lender's Non-Gaming Equipment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount, for application against the Allocated Equipment Value represented by such Lender's Note until all amounts due and owing each Lender whose Loans were used to pay the Purchase Price of Non-Gaming Equipment, to the extent of such Lender's Allocable Equipment Value for Gaming Equipment, have been paid in full;

8



            (ii)  second, in the case of any amount which is attributable to the Gaming Equipment or Non-Gaming Equipment, to the remaining Lenders pro rata to the extent of such Lender's Allocable Equipment Value until all amounts due and owing each Lender, to the extent of such Lender's Allocable Equipment Value, have been paid in full;

            (iii)  third, to the remaining Lenders pursuant to clause (b) below.

        (b)  Any payments to be made by Borrower relating to the exercise of remedies by any Lender or by the Collateral Agent on its behalf, any proceeds of Collateral, any transfer or assignment of claim relating to the Notes in a bankruptcy and all related payments due and payable to the Lenders pursuant to any other Operative Document, which are not readily attributable to a Type of Equipment or the Aircraft, shall, to such extent, be distributed by Collateral Agent pro rata among the Lenders according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by each such Lender and to the extent such payment represents a Required Prepayment or other payment on account of principal of the Loans such payment shall be allocated pro rata by such Lender between the Allocated Aircraft Value and Allocated Equipment Value in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective Allocated Aircraft Value and Allocated Equipment Value represented by the unpaid Loan Balance thereof.

        (c)  In case moneys with respect to any Type of Equipment or the Aircraft are insufficient to pay in full the whole amount due, owing or unpaid to the Lenders whose Loans were used to pay the Purchase Price of such Type of Equipment or refinance the Aircraft, as applicable, then application shall be made first to any unpaid accrued Interest, second to any Supplemental Payments and third to the Loan Balances. Any Supplemental Payments received by Collateral Agent shall be paid by Collateral Agent to the Person to whom such Supplemental Payments are payable under the provisions of the Operative Documents.

        (d)  In the event that at the time of any payment or distribution of proceeds to which this Section 3.8 applies, a Lender has not Funded its full Commitment with respect to a Type of Equipment or the Aircraft, each Lender's Commitment Percentage with respect to such Type of Equipment or Aircraft shall be adjusted to reflect the percentage amount of Credit Exposure of such Lender compared to the Credit Exposure of all Lenders whose Loans were used to pay the Purchase Price of such Type of Equipment or refinance the Aircraft, as applicable.

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Valvino and its Subsidiaries (other than the Excluded Entities) do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph or that have not otherwise been disclosed to the Collateral Agent in writing. During the period from January 1, 2002 to and including the Document Closing Date there has been no Disposition by Valvino or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property.

            (b)    No Change.    Since December 31, 2001, there has been no developments or events that, individually or collectively, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            (e)    No Legal Bar.    The execution, delivery and performance of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other Operative Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Other Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party could, individually or collectively, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No claim has been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except (a) with respect to the Intellectual Property re
