13



 

collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Grantor might have done.  After receipt by Grantor of the notice from Secured Party referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of the Accounts and the Related Contracts shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 19, and (ii) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon (other than settlements in the ordinary course of business and substantially consistent with the practice at other gaming institutions in connection with their gaming operations in the State of Nevada with payors of such Accounts reached to facilitate collection from such payors of such Accounts).

(i)            cancel or terminate any of the Assigned Agreements or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof in any case with respect to the General Contractor’s Contract and, with respect to the other Assigned Agreements, if such cancellation or termination, together with all other such cancellations or terminations, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(ii)           amend or otherwise modify the Assigned Agreements or give any consent, waiver or approval thereunder if the effect of such amendment or modification, together with all other amendments, modifications, consents, waivers or approvals made or consents, waivers or approvals given, is to increase materially the obligations of Partnership thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the counterparties to such Assigned Agreements which could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Partnership or Lenders;

 

(iii)          waive any default under or breach of the Assigned Agreements if such waiver, together with all other such waivers could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(iv)          consent to or permit or accept any prepayment of amounts to become due under or in connection with the Assigned Agreements, except as expressly provided therein; or

 

(v)           take any other action in connection with the Assigned Agreements that would impair the value of the interest or rights of Grantor thereunder or that would impair the interest or rights of Secured Party in any case with respect to the General Contractor’s Contract and, with respect to the other Assigned Agreements if such impairment could reasonably be expected, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 11.  Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

 

(a)           So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(i)            Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that Grantor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if Secured Party shall have notified Grantor that, in Secured Party’s judgment, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt or any part thereof; and provided, further, that Grantor shall give

 

15



 

Secured Party at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right.  It is understood, however, that neither (A) the voting by Grantor of any Pledged Shares for or Grantor’s consent to the election of directors at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such meeting nor (B) Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement within the meaning of this subsection 11(a)(i), and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to Secured Party.

 

(ii)           Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain and to utilize free and clear of the lien of this Agreement, any and all dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt; provided, however, that any and all

(C)           cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal or in redemption of or in exchange for any Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt,

 

shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Secured Party to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other property or funds of Grantor and be forthwith delivered to Secured Party as Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt, as the case may be, in the same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements).

 

(iii)          Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Grantor all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends, principal or

 

16



 

interest payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

 

(b)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

        (i)            Upon written notice from Secured Party to Grantor, all rights of Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection 11(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

 

        (ii)           All rights of Grantor to receive the dividends and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection 11(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and interest payments.

 

        (iii)          All dividends, principal and interest payments which are received by Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this subsection 11(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

 

(c)           In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection 11(b)(i) and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive under subsection 11(a)(ii) or subsection 11(b)(ii), (i) Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding clause (i), Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Shares would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, calling special meetings of shareholders and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Shares on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any officer or agent thereof), upon the

 

17



 

occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

 

SECTION 12.  Deposit Accounts.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party and each Lender may exercise dominion and control over, and refuse to permit further withdrawals (whether of money, securities, instruments or other property) from any deposit accounts maintained with Secured Party or such Lender constituting part of the Collateral.

 

SECTION 13.  License of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, etc.  Grantor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the nonexclusive right and license to use all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, customers lists, patents or technical processes owned or used by Grantor that relate to the Collateral and any other collateral granted by Grantor as security for the Secured Obligations, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Secured Party to use, possess and realize on the Collateral and to enable any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral.  This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of Secured Party and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.  Such right and license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to Grantor.

 

SECTION 14.  Transfers and Other Liens.  Grantor shall not:

 

(a)           sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement; or

 

(b)           except for the security interest created by this Agreement or as permitted by the Credit Agreement, create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral to secure the indebtedness or other obligations of any Person.

 

SECTION 15.  Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party’s discretion, to do all acts and things and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and,

 

18



 

upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any other action not prohibited by the Credit Agreement and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation:

 

(a)           to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by Grantor or paid to Secured Party pursuant to Section 8;

 

(b)           to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

 

(c)           to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;

 

(d)           to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings (including, without limitation, any proceeding before any Gaming Board) that Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

 

(e)           to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations of Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand;

 

(f)            to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and

 

(g)           generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.

 

19



 

SECTION 16.  Secured Party May Perform.  If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under Section 20.

 

SECTION 17.  Standard of Care.  The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.

 

SECTION 18.  Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the “Code”) (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, and (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable.  Secured Party or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities

 

20



 

unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, upon an Event of Default hereunder or under the Credit Agreement and foreclosure upon any gaming permits pledged and assigned herein, Secured Party is not qualified under the Gaming Laws to hold such gaming permits, then Secured Party shall designate an appropriately qualified third party to which an assignment of such gaming permits can be made in compliance with the Gaming Laws.

 

SECTION 19.  Application of Proceeds.  Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in full or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority:

 

FIRST:  To the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including costs and expenses of Secured

 

21



 

Party and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured Party hereunder for the account of Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, all in accordance with Section 20;

 

SECOND:  To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof) in such order as Secured Party shall elect; and

 

THIRD:  To the payment to or upon the order of Grantor, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

 

SECTION 20.  Indemnity and Expenses.

 

(a)           Grantor agrees to indemnify Secured Party and each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Secured Party’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(b)           Grantor shall pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

SECTION 21.  Continuing Security Interest: Transfer of Loans.  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (b) be binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured

 

22



 

Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise.  Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor.  Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

SECTION 22.  Secured Party as Agent.

 

(a)           Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by Lenders.  Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Agent under the Credit Agreement.  Written notice of resignation by Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; removal of Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring, or removed Secured

 

23



 

Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.

 

SECTION 23.  Amendments; Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and Grantor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

 

SECTION 24.  Notices.  Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile or telex prior to 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Secured Party shall only be effective upon receipt.  For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or, as to either party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to the other party hereto.

 

SECTION 25.  Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to he a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein. nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

SECTION 26.  Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

SECTION 27.  Headings.  Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not

 

24



 

constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
