(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of Grantor, in its own name or otherwise to take possession of, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of monies due under any Collateral and to file any claim or take or commence any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such monies due under any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge any Liens, including, without limitation, any tax lien, levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof, which actions shall be for the benefit of Secured Party and not Grantor;
(iii) to (1) direct any person liable for any payment under or in respect of any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due or to become due thereunder directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party shall direct, (2) receive payment of any and all monies, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time arising out of or in respect of any Collateral, (3) 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 Instruments and Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral, (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (6) settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above, and in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Secured Party may deem appropriate, (7) license, or, to the extent permitted by an applicable License, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyright, Patent or Trademark throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as Secured Party shall in its discretion determine and (8) 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
(iv) to do, at Secured Party’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.
(b) Secured Party agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights granted to Secured Party pursuant to this Section 6. Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are completely and indefeasibly paid and performed in full and Secured Party no longer has any commitment to make any Loans to Grantor.
11.
(c) If Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Secured Party, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, of Secured Party incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate of interest equal to the highest per annum rate of interest charged on the Loans, shall be payable by Grantor to Secured Party within five (5) business days of demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations secured hereby.
7. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. After any Event of Default shall have occurred and while such Event of Default is continuing, subject to applicable Gaming Laws:
(a) Secured Party may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement or the Note and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may (i) reclaim, take possession, recover, store, maintain, finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, shop, advertise for sale or lease and sell or lease (in the manner provided herein) the Collateral, and in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral and collection of the accounts receivable pledged as Collateral, use any Trademark, Copyright, or process used or owned by Grantor and (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. To the extent Grantor has the right to do so, Grantor authorizes Secured Party, on the terms set forth in this Section 7 to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contact, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which, in the opinion of Secured Party, appears to be prior or superior to its security interest. Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption Grantor hereby releases. Grantor further agrees, at Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale as provided in Section 7(f), below and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. Grantor agrees that Secured Party need not give more than ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Party is entitled from Grantor, Grantor also being liable for the attorney costs of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) As to any Collateral constituting certificated securities or uncertificated securities, if, at any time when Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of such Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be
12.
effectively registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (as so amended the “Act”), Secured Party may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 7(b), and shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 7(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then Secured Party shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but may, in its sole discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to such restrictions as Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.
(c) Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of such Collateral, whether at a foreclosure sale or otherwise, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority, and Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Secured Party be liable nor accountable to Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
(d) Grantor also agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of Secured Party, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(e) Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
(f) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by Secured Party in the following order of priorities:
FIRST, to Secured Party in an amount sufficient to pay in full the costs of Secured Party in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Secured Party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees;
SECOND, to Secured Party in an amount equal to the then unpaid Secured Obligations; and
13.
FINALLY, upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to Grantor or its representatives, in accordance with the UCC or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
(g) In the event that Secured Party exercises a remedy set forth in this Security Agreement with respect to Collateral consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering systems and associated equipment (as those terms are defined in the Gaming Laws) and a transfer, sale, distribution or other disposition of such Collateral occurs, such transfer, sale, distribution or other disposition may require the separate and prior approval of the Gaming Authorities pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws or the licensing of Secured Party or other transferee.
8. INDEMNITY. Grantor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and its officers, employees, and agents against (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Secured Party as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between Secured Party and Grantor, whether under this Security Agreement or otherwise (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9. LIMITATION ON SECURED PARTY’S DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. Secured Party shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it takes such action as Grantor requests in writing except during an Event of Default, but failure of Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not in itself be deemed a failure to act reasonably, and no failure of Secured Party to do any act not so requested shall be deemed a failure to act reasonably.
10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1 Waivers; Modifications. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Grantor and Secured Party.
11.2 Termination of this Security Agreement. Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations.
11.3 Successor and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Party, any future holder of any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other
14.
sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the lien granted to Secured Party hereunder.
11.4 Governing Law. In all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws, except to the extent that the UCC provides for the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.
11.5 Gaming Restrictions on Pledge of Investment Property.
(a) If any subsidiary of Grantor is subject to the jurisdiction of any Gaming Authorities as a licensee or registered company under Gaming Laws, the pledge of any equity securities issued by such licensee or registered company (“Pledged Gaming Stock”) under this Security Agreement will require the approval of the Gaming Authorities in order to become effective and any subsequent amendment of this Security Agreement will require the prior approval of the Gaming Authorities in order to become effective.
(b) In the event that Secured Party exercises a remedy set forth in this Security Agreement with respect to any Pledged Gaming Stock, that is a foreclosure, transfer of a possessory security interest in such Collateral, the exercise of voting and consensual rights with respect thereto afforded hereunder and/or re-registration of such Collateral, such exercise of remedies would be deemed a separate transfer of such Collateral and would require the separate and prior approval of the Gaming Authorities pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws and the licensing of the Secured Party or other transferee, unless such licensing requirement is waived by the Gaming Authorities.
(c) The physical location of all certificates evidencing Pledged Gaming Stock shall at all times remain within the territory of the State of Nevada at a location designated to the Nevada Gaming Authorities (and thereafter shall not change the location of such Pledged Gaming Stock or permit such change, in either case, without prior notice to Grantor), and each of such certificates shall be made available for inspection by agents of the Nevada Gaming Authorities immediately upon request during normal business hours. Secured Party shall not surrender possession of the Pledged Gaming Stock to any person other than Grantor without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities or as otherwise permitted by applicable Nevada Gaming Laws.
