NOBLE, Vice Chancellor Almost one billion dollars of unsecured debt was borrowed by the acquirer of a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. That acquirer and its casino-operating subsidiary have now lost their essential gaming licenses. Although the loss of the gaming licenses does not constitute an event of default under the controlling indenture, the question framed by cross-motions for summary judgment filed by the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers is whether the collateral consequences from the loss of the gaming licenses precipitated an Event of Default.
