All expenses incidental to such drydocking and all charges incurred in connection therewith shall be for the Borrower's account, regardless of whether Lender's repairs, if any, are concurrently made, provided that the Lender's repairs do not delay the operation of the Vessel or increase the cost to Borrower. f. Borrower will pay and discharge when and as due and payable, all taxes, assessments, excises, levies, documentation and registration fees, duties, fines and penalties and other governmental charges including without limitation, sales, use, franchise, property, gross receipts and occupation taxes lawfully imposed upon the Secured Property or the ownership, use, operation, registration, documentation or maintenance thereof during the Term of the Agreement or on any amounts payable hereunder, other than taxes and other charges imposed on or measured by the net income or capital of the Lender. 11.

Losses under any insurance provided for in this Section shall be payable as hereunder provided, and all policies shall contain clauses to the same effect: (1) The proceeds of insurance for all losses, except for total or constructive total loss, shall be payable to the satisfaction and discharge of the liability or to the repair of damage in respect of which the insurance loss has been paid or in reimbursement for monies theretofore applied. (2) In the event of an actual or constructive total loss of any or all of the Vessels, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Lender and shall be applied by the Lender to reduce any amounts due and payable by the Borrower under the Note without any prepayment penalty or premium. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the sum of (i) any amounts owing under the Note, plus (iii) any amounts due Lender under paragraph 20 hereof or amounts in dispute thereunder (it being understood that upon resolution of the indemnification claim concerning such amounts, such amounts shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of such resolution), shall be promptly paid to the Borrower. d.

No waiver by Lender, its affiliates, successors or assigns, of any default, including, but not limited to, acceptance of late payment after the same is due, shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. In the Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to recover all costs, expenses, losses, damages and legal costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of Lender's remedies. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies provided for at law or in equity, including the Uniform Commercial Code, if applicable, and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately. A termination hereunder shall occur only upon written notice by Lender to Borrower and no repossession or other act by Lender after default shall relieve Borrower from any of its obligations to Lender hereunder unless Lender so notifies Borrower in writing. In the event of a 45 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT default by Borrower, Lender may, at its option, declare this Agreement terminated without further liability or obligation to Borrower. 20. Requisition or Seizure or Forfeiture. Requisition of the use or title of the Vessel, seizure or forfeiture by any government or governmental authority on a bareboat, time or voyage charter basis, during the Term even though at the time of such requisition the Borrower shall have been deprived of, or limited in, the use of the Vessel to any extent and for any duration, for whatever cause, shall not terminate or extend this Agreement. The Borrower shall continue to make payment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Note without interruption or abatement and shall remain liable for all other obligations under this Agreement and the Note. The foregoing provisions shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Lender and the Borrower against other parties in respect of any such charges or expenses. 21. Inspection by Lender. The Lender or its authorized representative may inspect each Vessel at any time during the Term of this Agreement upon reasonable notice to the Borrower and provided such inspection does not delay such Vessel's employment. 22. Assignment of Loan Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell, assign, mortgage, or otherwise transfer its interest hereunder and/or in each of the Loan Documents, or any of the Secured Property, including without limitation, the Big Easy Vessel, the Princess Vessel or the Royal Star Vessel to others ("Assignees") without any consent of Borrower, provided however that Borrower shall be promptly notified of any assignment and that each Assignee shall expressly take assignment subject to this Agreement and agree to recognize Borrower's rights under this Agreement, including expressly the right to quiet enjoyment, use and possession of any of the Big Easy Vessel, the Princess Vessel or the Royal Star Vessel so long as no Event of Default exists under any of the Note or this Agreement; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Assignee is PDS Funding 2004-A, LLC or any of its successors or assigns, such assignment shall be taken subject to the terms of that certain Notice, Consent and Acknowledgment of Assignment or Sale of even date herewith by and among Lender, Borrower and PDS Funding 2004-A, as amended. Accordingly, Borrower and Lender agree that upon such assignment, Borrower (i) shall acknowledge such assignment in writing by executing a Notice, Consent and Acknowledgment of Assignment furnished by Lender; (ii) shall promptly pay all principal and interest due under the Note when due to the designated Assignees, notwithstanding any defense, setoff, abatement, recoupment, reduction or counterclaim whatsoever that Borrower may have against Lender; (iii) shall not permit this Agreement, the Note, 46 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT the Mortgages, any other Loan Document or any other documents between Lender and Borrower so assigned to be amended or the terms thereof waived without the prior written consent of the Assignees; (iv) shall not require the Assignees to perform any obligations of Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages, any other Loan Document or any other documents between Lender and Borrower so assigned; (v) shall not terminate or attempt to terminate this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages, any other Loan Document or any other documents between Lender and Borrower so assigned on account of any default by Lender, so long as such default does not result in the denial of Borrower's quiet enjoyment, use and possession of any of the Vessels; and (vi) acknowledges that any Assignee may reassign its rights and interest with the same force and effect as the assignment described herein. Borrower shall not assign this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Documents or assign its rights in or sublet any of the Vessels, or any interest therein, without Lender's and its Assignee's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 23. Termination Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties to consummate the Funding may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: a. by the mutual consent of the parties hereto; or b. by either Lender or Borrower if the Funding shall not have occurred on or before July 29, 2005 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed to by the parties hereto) otherwise than as a result of a breach of this Loan Agreement by the party seeking to terminate under this Section 23(b). 24. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial and Punitive Damages. a. The interpretation of this entire agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be void and the other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect. The parties shall use their best efforts to resolve by agreement any problem which may arise as a result of any changes in applicable law or regulations affecting performance of this Agreement. b. The terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Note, the Loan Documents, the Guaranty and any related documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and this Agreement shall not be amended or supplemented, or any term or provision thereof waived except in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby and no promise, agreement, warranty, or representation not set forth herein, therein or in such written amendment or supplement shall be of any force or effect. In the event that any provision of this Agreement 47 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT conflicts with the provisions of the Note dated of even date herewith between Lender and Borrower, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. c. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by a party hereto arising out of or based upon this Agreement shall exclusively be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada ("District of Nevada"), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection with it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in the District of Nevada, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the District of Nevada has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the District of Nevada in any suit, action or proceeding, and (iv) agrees that the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party the attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such action. If for any reason the District of Nevada lacks jurisdiction over a matter arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the District Court for the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada ("Nevada State Court") shall then have exclusive jurisdiction and all other provisions of this paragraph shall remain valid and enforceable in such court. d. Each of the parties agrees and acknowledges that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement, whether filed in the District of Nevada, the Nevada State Court or otherwise, is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement. e. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim and receive an award for punitive damages for any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement. 25. Log Books. Borrower's crew shall maintain full and complete logs and at Lender's request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender true copies of said logs. 26. Trading Limits. During the Term of this Agreement, the parties agree that the Vessel shall have a trading limit of inland, tributary, coastal and nearby adjacent waters of the United States (and, in the case of drydocking only, Bahamas; Gulf of Mexico; and Caribbean), unless otherwise agreed upon by Lender prior to any extension of such trading limit. In the event a Contingent Event, as defined herein, has occurred or is continuously occurring, such trading limit may be extended with respect to the Royal Star Vessel only to foreign ports; provided, however, 48 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT Borrower shall provide for the assignment of the respective port, berth or docking agreements to Lender, in a manner approved by Lender. Borrower further agrees to cooperate with Lender and execute any documents reasonably necessary to protect or maintain Lender's mortgage or security interest in either Vessel. 27. Release of Mortgages. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement and Borrower has paid to Lender the prepayment described in Section 4(f) with respect to the Royal Star Vessel, including, without limitation, any applicable prepayment penalties or fees, Lender agrees to release the Royal Star Mortgage imposing a preferred lien upon such Royal Star Vessel. 28. Business Policy Provisions. Borrower agrees to comply with all laws and lawful regulations, including any gaming laws, regulations, licenses or permits, applicable to any activities carried out in the name of or representative of Borrower under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that all financial settlements and reports rendered to Lender under this Agreement will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, reflect properly the facts about all activities and transactions handled for the account of Borrower which data may be relied upon as being complete and accurate in any further recording and reporting made by Lender for whatever purpose. Borrower agrees to notify Lender promptly upon discovery of any instances where the Borrower fails to comply with provisions above. 29. Privileged Licenses. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, its parent company, Subsidiaries and affiliates, are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by governmental authorities. If requested to do so by Lender, Borrower, and its agents, employees and subcontractors, shall obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be reasonably requested or required of any of them by Lender or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Lender or any parent company, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. If Borrower, or its agents, employees, or subcontractors, fails to satisfy such requirement or if Lender or any parent company, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender is directed to cease business with Borrower or its agents, employees or subcontractors by any such authority, or if Lender shall in good faith determine, in Lender's sole and exclusive judgment, that Borrower, or any of its agents, employees, subcontractors, or representatives (i) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (ii) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize Lender's business or such licenses, or those of a parent company, subsidiary or affiliate, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, this Agreement may be immediately terminated by Lender without further liability to Borrower. Borrower further acknowledges its understanding that it is illegal for a denied gaming license applicant or a revoked gaming licensee, or a business 49 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT entity under such a Person's control, to enter or attempt to enter into a contract with Lender, its parent company, Subsidiaries or any affiliate, without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission or other applicable gaming authorities. Borrower affirms that it is not such a Person and that it is not under the control of such a Person; and agrees that this Agreement is subject to immediate termination by Lender, without further liability to Borrower if Borrower is or becomes such a Person or is under the control of such a person. 30.

Each party shall use its good faith judgment in determining whether any such violation, act or omission of the other party or its directors, officers or managers, if any, places such party's business or licenses at risk. 50 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT Borrower acknowledges that Lender, its Subsidiaries and affiliates, have a positive reputation in the finance and gaming industry and that Lender and its Subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to regulation and licensing and desire to maintain their reputation and receive positive publicity. Borrower therefore agrees that throughout the Term, Borrower's directors, officers and managers will not conduct themselves in any manner that materially adversely affects or is detrimental to, Lender, its Subsidiaries or affiliates, and will not directly or indirectly make any oral, written or recorded private or public statement or comment that is disparaging, critical or defamatory of Lender or its Subsidiaries or affiliates. d. Lender and Borrower and their respective employees shall keep all statistical, financial, confidential, and/or personal data with respect to the other party requested, received, developed, stored or viewed by Lender or Borrower in connection with this Agreement in the strictest confidence.

This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be deemed necessary and convenient, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed or otherwise authenticated, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same document. f. The parties further covenant and agree to do, execute and deliver, or cause to be done, executed and delivered, and covenant and agree to use their best efforts to cause their successors and assigns to do, execute and deliver, or cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts, transfers and assurances, for implementing the intention of the parties under this Agreement, as the parties reasonably shall request.

If more than one Borrower is named in this Agreement the liability of each shall be joint and several. Lender may bring and prosecute a separate action against separate, individual Borrowers to enforce any one or more Borrowers' liability hereunder, whether or not any action is brought against any other Borrower or any other person and whether or not any Borrower or any other person is joined in such action or actions. Nothing shall prohibit Lender from exercising its rights against any separate Borrower and any other person simultaneously, jointly and/or severally. Each Borrower shall be bound by each and every ruling, order and judgment obtained by Lender against any Borrower in respect of the obligations, whether or not such Borrower is a party to the action or proceeding in which such ruling, order or judgment is issued or rendered. i. Neither this Agreement nor the Note shall create any joint venture or partnership between the parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon either party any proprietary interest in, or subject a party to any liability for or in respect of the business, assets, profits, losses or obligations of the other. Nothing herein contained shall be read or construed so as to make the parties a partnership, nor shall anything contained herein be read or construed in any way to restrict the freedom of either party to conduct any business or activity whatsoever without any accountability to the other party. Neither party shall be considered to be an agent or representative of the other party or have any authority or power to act for or undertake any obligation on behalf of the other party except as expressly authorized by the other party in writing. Any such unauthorized representation or action shall be considered a breach of this Agreement. j. The monies owed by Borrower herein shall be paid in full when due under the terms of this Agreement and the Note without right of setoff of any monies owed by Lender to Borrower under any other agreement or for any other purpose. k. Each term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be viewed as separate and distinct, and in the event that any such term, covenant, condition or provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 52 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT l. Borrower understands and acknowledges that prior to Closing, this Agreement, at Lender's discretion, may be subject to Borrower and its principals completing and submitting to Lender a due diligence compliance questionnaire (including an Authorization for the Release of Information) and being found suitable by Lender's Compliance Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender may terminate this Agreement without further obligation or liability to Borrower if, in the judgment of Lender's Compliance Committee, the relationship with Borrower or its principals could subject Lender to disciplinary action or cause Lender to lose or become unable to obtain or reinstate any federal, state and/or foreign registration, license or approval material to Lender's business or the business of any subsidiary of Lender. m. The failure of any party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Note or the Loan Documents or to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Accordingly, the acceptance of any payment by Lender after it is due shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note or any Loan Documents. n. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when take together, shall constitute one instrument. 53 PDS/PALM BEACH LOAN & SECURITY AGREEMENT IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
