Item 1.01	Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
The
information provided in Item 2.01 below is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01	Completion of Acquisition
or Disposition of Assets.
On
April 26, 2012, Riviera Holdings Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), Riviera Operating Corporation,
a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("ROC", and together with the Company, the "Seller"),
completed the sale of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., a Colorado corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of ROC ("RBH"), to Monarch Growth Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Monarch Casino and Resorts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively, the "Buyer"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Purchase Agreement")
, entered into on
September 29, 2011,
as
previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
September 30, 2011
(the "Transaction").
RBH is engaged in the business of operating a casino, including gaming devices, table games,
restaurants and a conference center, located in Black Hawk, Colorado, more commonly known as the Riviera Black Hawk Casino. Monarch
paid an aggregate of $76 million in cash for the stock, subject to a potential post-closing working capital adjustment. A portion
of the purchase price was escrowed to secure Seller's indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with the closing of the Transaction, ROC entered into a Trademark and Domain Name License Agreement (the License Agreement")
with RBH pursuant to which ROC granted to RBH a license to use certain trademark and domain name rights royalty-free for a transitional
period. The License Agreement prohibits ROC (and its affiliates and licensees) from operating a casino in the state of Colorado
using the trademark RIVIERA for a period of three years after the closing.
On
April 25, 2012 and in anticipation of the closing of the Transaction, the Company, ROC and RBH entered into a Series A Amendment
and Consent Agreement (the "Series A Amendment") and a Series B Amendment and Consent Agreement (the "Series
B Amendment") with SCH/VIII Bonds, L.L.C., SCH/VIII Bonds II, L.L.C., SCH/VIII Bonds III, L.L.C., SCH/VIII Bonds IV, L.L.C.,
Desert Rock Enterprises LLC, Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC and Strategic Value Special Situations Master Fund, L.P., who are
lenders holding more than a majority of the Company's debt outstanding under the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series
B Credits Agreement, respectively, entered into with these and other lenders and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative
agent, on April 1, 2011. Pursuant to the Series A Amendment and the Series B Amendment, the lender parties consented to the closing
of the Transaction without full compliance with all of the covenants in the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credits
Agreement related thereto. In addition, the lender parties waived the mandatory prepayment of the outstanding debt required under
certain circumstances by the terms of the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credits Agreement upon the sale of assets
constituting collateral thereunder and any default that may arise upon the closing of the Transaction, if any, under certain provisions
of the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credits Agreement, respectively. All of the lenders who executed the Series A
Amendment and the Series B Amendment are also stockholders. Further, four of the lenders are affiliated with Starwood Capital Group.
Mr. Sternlicht, our Chairman of the Board, is also the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and owner of Starwood Capital Group
and its related entities. In addition, Marcos Alvarado, one of our directors, is an employee of an entity related to Starwood Capital
Group. Another of the lenders who executed the
Series A Amendment and the Series B Amendment
,
Desert Rock Enterprises LLC, is part-owned and managed by D
erek J. Stevens, one of
our directors.
The Company has
attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, copies of the Purchase Agreement, the License Agreement, the
Series A Amendment and the Series B Amendment
. The
foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Purchase Agreement, the License Agreement, the
