EXHIBIT 4(a)(9)
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of this 1st
day of October, 2002, by and among MRG ENTERTAINMENT, LLC, a Kansas
limited liability company, with its principal office at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx
000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 ("Lender"), and International Thunderbird
Gaming Corporation, a Canadian corporation with its principal office 00000 Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx ("Borrower"). In
consideration of advances and credit accommodations (including any loans by
renewal or extension) made to Borrower by Lender, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by Borrower, the parties agree as follows.
1. TERM LOANS.
(a)
Term Loans Refinanced. Lender provided Borrower with three (3) loans: (1) a
term loan for One Million Six Hundred Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars and
No/100 Dollars ($1,612,800.00 United States Dollars) ("Term Loan-1"); A
term loan for five hundred fifty thousand ($530,000 United States Dollars) ("Term
Loan-2"); and a term loan for seven hundred fifty dollars and No/100 Dollars
($750,000.00 United States Dollars) ("Term Loan-3"). In addition,
Lender has incurred various charges and costs reimbursable to Lender
by Borrower in the amount of $300,000.00 through September 1, 2002 ("Miscellaneous
Costs"). For all purposes hereunder all references to monetary amounts or
interest payments, fee charges or any other payments shall mean in United States
Dollars or currency.
(b)
Refinancing of Term Loan. Borrower and Lender agree that
Term Loans 1, 2 and 3 and all costs incurred by Lender related to
Term Loans 1, 2 and 3 including the Miscellaneous Costs will be
consolidated into one loan in the principal amount of approximately
$3,034,130.28 (hereafter "Consolidated Term Loan"). The principal balance
of the Consolidated Term Loan shall be adjusted downwards to reflect any
decreases in the current principal balance of any of Term Loans 1, 2
and 3 below their current existing principal balances set forth below:
Term Loan 1 - $1,612,800 as of October 1, 2002
Term Loan 2 - $530,000 as of October 1, 2002
Term Loan 3 - $ 591,330.28 as of September 27, 2002
Miscellaneous Costs - $300,000 as of September 1, 2002
All accrued and unpaid interest on the above stated three Term Loans
shall be wire transferred to Lender by Borrower for receipt on or
before 1:00 p.m. CST on December 30, 2002. Interest shall commence accruing on
the Consolidated Term Loan immediately thereafter. Beginning on February
1, 2003, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, the
Consolidated Term Loan shall be fully paid over the immediately subsequent
48 months in equal monthly payments of $83,000 based on the principal balance of
$3,034,130.28. All payments shall first be applied to interest, then costs
incurred, then principal. Should there be any adjustments warranted to the
principal balance of Term Loans 1, 2 and 3 prior to the Effective Date,
the Lender and Borrower shall make such adjustments to the
Consolidated Term Loan and recalculate the monthly payments accordingly.
Lender and Borrower shall initial any required changes to the
principal balance and monthly payment level prior to the Effective Date.
Any later extension of credit or increase in loans to Borrower by
Lender shall be reflected by the mutual written agreement of the parties, in
which case said amounts shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement.
2. INTEREST, FEES, CHARGES, AND COLLATERAL.
(a) Rate of Interest. Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the three Term Loans made to Borrower outstanding at the end of each day at a fixed rate per annum equal to fourteen percent (14%) in United States Dollars and be paid on each Payment Date as a portion of the amortizing payment to be made on each Payment Date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the principal amount of all Loans will bear interest on demand at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest then in effect hereunder plus an additional six percent (6%) in United States Dollars. Consideration due Lender under this Agreement shall be remitted by Borrower without reduction for any incurred taxes (including taxes required to be withheld by Borrower), sales tax, personal service fee taxes, or any other taxes or similar charges imposed on Lender or Borrower, unless such tax withheld by Borrower is subject to a full credit for the benefit of Lender or Lender's principal owner against Lender or Lender's principal owner's federal and/or state United States income taxes. Prior to withholding any such taxes from payments due Lender, Borrower shall direct and deliver to Lender an opinion letter from KPMG, its accountant, which opines that all such withholdings may be fully credited against Lender or Lender's principal owner's federal and/or state income tax liability associated with the monies paid by Borrower to Lender hereunder.
(b) Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and collection charges hereunder will be calculated daily and will be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year consisting of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder, all items of payment received by Lender will be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Liabilities (subject to final payment of such items) one Business Day after receipt by Lender of good funds in Lender's account as may be designated to Borrower by Lender in writing from time to time.
(c) Maximum Interest. It is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and the other charges to Borrower under this Agreement will be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or other charges payable under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, to exceed the limit which Lender may lawfully charge Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest and other charges will automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit and at Lender's option, Lender may accelerate the maturity date of the Three term loans for immediate payment.
(d) Closing Costs. Regardless of whether this Agreement becomes effective under Paragraph 2(f) below, Borrower shall be obligated to pay all of Lender's legal fees and costs and all other costs, such as travel, lodging, phone, and the like, incurred by Lender or its agents in the negotiating, drafting, execution and implementation of the terms of the entire term hereof. All such cost shall be paid promptly after Lender submits said costs for payment. These closing costs are in addition to the Miscellaneous Costs.
(e) Administration and Examination Fee. Borrower will pay to Lender a loan administration and examination fee of $2,745.00 per month (the "Administration and Examination Fee") for Lender's administration of the Consolidated Term Loan and monthly physical examination of Borrower's books, records and business operations, including without limitation monthly on-site visits to each, together with all actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith. Beginning February 1, 2003 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, the Administration and Examination Fee will be paid in advance by Borrower to Lender in immediately available funds to Lender's account as may be designated to Borrower by Lender in writing from time to time. The Administration and Examination Fee shall be paid by Borrower for as long as any part of the Term Loans remains unpaid.
(f) Effective Date. When the prior Term Loans 1, 2 and 3 are cancelled and refinanced as provided hereunder, this Agreement will become effective ("Effective Date") which date is expected to be December 30, 2002, provided that the gaming authorities of Panama have approved this Agreement in its entirety along with the related Stock Pledge with no changes or modifications, by 5:00 p.m. CST on or before December 29, 2002 ("Approval"). If such Approval has not been timely obtained, then Borrower shall have the option to extend the Effective Date of this Agreement until such Approval is obtained, but in no event shall the Approval be obtained later than 5:00 p.m. CST March 31, 2003 ("Approval Deadline"). Should the Approval not be obtained on or before the Approval Deadline, then this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.
(g) Pledge. The Consolidated Term Loan is secured by a pledge by the Borrower of all of Borrower's stock in International Thunderbird Gaming (Panama) Corporation ("INB Panama") ("Collateral") pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

If there is an occurrence of an uncured Event of Default, as a part of and in addition to all other Liabilities, Borrower shall incur and pay as a Liability to Lender an exit fee of $1,200,000 (the "Exit Fee"), plus interest at 10% from the Effective Date, provided however, if no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, commencing with the 13th month after the Effective Date, the amount of the Exit Fee shall be reduced each month until the Consolidated Term Loan is fully repaid, with the amount of said reduction equal to 1/36th of the then current Exit Fee amount. Also, at any time during the term of the Consolidated Term Loan, should Lender receive distributions from any of Lender's affiliates, then said Exit Fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to any distribution received. Lender acknowledges that Borrower is a co-shareholder with a group of Panamanian shareholders that own not more than fifty percent (50%) of shares issued by INB Panama and that Lender's rights as a stockholder of INB Panama (should it exercise its remedy to take ownership of the Collateral) may be subject to the terms and conditions of currently existing shareholder agreements of INB shareholders.
10. INDEMNIFICATION.
Borrower agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender), protect, indemnify and hold harmless Lender, each affiliate or subsidiary of Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Party will be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations including, without limitation, securities, environmental and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making and the management of the Consolidated Term Loan or the use or intended use of the proceeds therefrom, including, without limitation, any and all environmental matters and conditions of every kind and nature, and including without limitation, Borrower's failure to obtain or maintain all licenses, permits or approvals required for the operation of its business (regardless of the cause of such failure); provided, however, that Borrower will not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower will satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity will be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and, failing prompt payment, will, together with interest thereon at the rate then applicable to Loan hereunder from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by Borrower, be added to the Liabilities of Borrower and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this paragraph 10 will survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.

Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
For value received, International Thunderbird Gaming Corporation ("Borrower") hereby grants to the Registered Holder named above or its registered assign(s) ("Registered Holder"), the right to purchase from the Borrower the number of shares of Borrower's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") equal to the Total Warrant Shares, as defined below. The amount and kind of securities purchasable pursuant to the rights granted hereby and the purchase price for such securities are subject to adjustment as provided under the terms set forth in this Agreement but, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the securities purchased hereunder shall always be voting shares. This Agreement supercedes and replaces all prior Warrant Certificates and Agreements between the parties hereto, including but not limited to those dated in 2001.
The Borrower hereby agrees as follows:
DEFINITIONS
1.1 The term "Warrant Share" means one share of the Common Stock provided, that if under the provisions hereof, there shall be a change such that the securities purchasable hereunder shall be issued by an entity other than the Borrower or there shall be a change in the type or class of securities purchasable hereunder, then the term "Warrant Share" shall mean one share of the security purchasable upon the exercise of the rights granted hereunder if such security shall be issuable in shares or shall mean the smallest unit in which such security shall be issuable if such security shall not be issuable in shares.
1.2 The term "Warrant Shares" means the aggregate Warrant Shares at any time subject to the Warrants evidenced by this Agreement, which shares shall be immediately tradeable on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
1.3 The term "Total Warrant Shares" means
(x) [2,345,000] shares of common voting stock of Borrower as adjusted pursuant to Article III below.
(y) So long as there is no Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing, the Total Warrant Shares shall be reduced starting in month twenty-five (25) after the Effective Date of the Consolidated Term Loan and each month thereafter in an amount equal to 1/24th of the initial Total Warrant Shares.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT
2.1
The Number of Shares for Which Warrant is Exercisable. Except as provided
herein, this Agreement shall be exercisable for the number of Total Warrant
Shares.
2.2
Exercise Period. The Registered Holder may exercise all or a
portion of the Warrants at any time or from time to time after the date hereof
but prior to the Expiration Date.
2.3
Exercise Price. Subject to adjustment as set forth herein, the
Exercise Price for each of the Warrants is in U.S. dollars the lesser of 15
cents Canadian or 10 cents U.S. dollars. Any part of the Term Loan not reduced
as a part of the exercise of the Series A and Series B Warrants shall remain due
and payable by Borrower to Registered Holder pursuant to the terms of the
Consolidated Term Loan.
Payment of Excercise Price. The Exercise Price shall first be paid by
reduction of the principal and interest on the Consolidated Term Loan if the
Consolidated Term Loan remains unpaid, but if paid, Registered Holder shall pay
the Exercise Price to Borrower.
2.4
No Fractional Warrant Share to be Issued. If any fraction of a Warrant
Share would be issuable in the exercise of this Warrant, the Borrower, at its
option, may in lieu of such fractional share pay to the Registered Holder in
cash, an amount equal to such fraction of the Current Price per share of Common
Stock of the Borrower.
2.5
Exercise Procedure. In order to exercise the Warrants, Registered Holder
shall deliver a written notice to Borrower at its principal office (the
"Exercise Notice"), signed by Registered Holder stating that it elects to
exercise all or a portion of this Agreement and stating the number of Warrant
Shares it is exercising; the Exercise Price therefor (it is exercising a Series
A or a Series B Warrant; and noting whether the Exercise Price is being paid by
reduction of the Consolidated Term Loan or in cash (and if by cash, a certified
check for the Exercise Price shall accompany the Exercise Notice). The date of
receipt by Borrower of the Exercise Notice is herein referred to as the "Date
of Exercise". If the Registered Holder states in the Exercise Notice that it
is paying Exercise Price by reduction to the Term Loan, the principal amount of
the Consolidated Term Loan will be automatically reduced (in inverse order of
maturity) by the total amount of the Exercise Price for the portion of the
Warrant exercised. The Borrower will provide the Registered Holder notice of any
exercise of this Warrant and of the amount of the reduction of the principal
amount of the Consolidated Term Loan. Except as specifically provided herein,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed so as to release Borrower
from payment or performance in full of all Liabilities or other amounts due
hereunder or under the Exercise Amount.
2.6
As promptly as practicable (but in any event no more than 15 Business Days)
after the Date of Exercise, Borrower shall issue or cause to be issued and
deliver or cause to be delivered to Registered Holder, a certificate or
certificates for the number of Common Shares deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant (or specified portion hereof). Such exercise shall be deemed to
have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Date of
Exercise and at such time the rights of Registered Holder hereunder shall cease
and Registered Holder shall be deemed to have become on such date the
holder of record of the Common Shares represented by the certificates received
by Registered Holder; provided, however, that no such surrender on any date when
the share transfer registers for Common Shares of Borrower shall be closed shall
be effective to constitute Registered Holder as the holder of record
of such Common Shares on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to
constitute Registered Holder as the holder of record thereof for all
purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such share
transfer registers are open. No payment or adjustment shall be made upon any
exercise on account of any cash dividends on the Common Shares issuable upon
exercise. Borrower acknowledges that this Warrant may be exercised in part(s),
and
2.7
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any unexercised portion of the Warrant
may, at any time prior to the maturity date and at the Registered Holder's sole
discretion, be exercised in any such portions and at any such times as the
Registered Holder may so decide subject to the restriction that all exercises
when added up cumulatively shall not exceed 20% of the then issued and
outstanding Common Shares of Borrower, taking into consideration the shares
issued upon exercise.
2.8
Assignment. Any assignment of this Warrant shall be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein, and
shall provide that the person executing the same thereby sells, assigns and
transfers to the person(s) named therein the rights evidenced by this Warrant to
purchase the number of Warrant Shares stated therein. Such Assignment shall be

(C) issue Common Shares to the holders of its outstanding Common Shares by way
of stock dividend (other than a stock dividend to the holders of Common Shares
who exercise an option to receive in the ordinary course equivalent dividends in
Common Shares in lieu of receiving cash dividends), the Exercise Price in effect
on the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation or on the record date
for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, as the case may be,
shall, in the case of the events referred to in (A) and (C) above, be decreased
in proportion to the total number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from
such subdivision or issue, or shall, in the case of the event referred to in (B)
above, be increased in proportion to the total number of outstanding Common
Shares resulting from such consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any event referred to above shall occur. Any such issue of
Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on or
immediately prior to the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of
calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under subparagraphs (b) and
(c) below.
b) In case Borrower shall fix a record date for
the issuance of options, rights or warrants to all or substantially all of the
holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring
not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase
Common Shares (or Securities exercised or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a
price per share (or having an exercise or exchange price per share) less than
95% of the Current Price per Common Share, as the case may be, on such record
date, the Exercise Price shall be automatically adjusted immediately after such
record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the sum of: (A) the total number of outstanding Common Shares
on such record date; plus (B) a number of Common Shares determined by dividing
the aggregate price of the additional Common Shares, if any, offered for
subscription or purchase (or the aggregate exercise or exchange price of the
exercisable or exchangeable Securities so offered) by the Current Market Price
per Common Share, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of
outstanding Common Shares on such record date plus the total number of
additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the
exercisable or exchangeable Securities so offered are exercisable or
exchangeable). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of Borrower
shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed.
To the extent that such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or such
options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof,
the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be
in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or Securities exercisable or
exchangeable into Common Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of such
options, rights or warranties, as the case may be.
c) In case Borrower shall fix a record
date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of
its outstanding Common Shares of: (A) shares of any class other than Common
Shares; or (B) options, rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in
paragraph (b) above); or (C) evidences of its indebtedness; or (D) assets
(excluding cash dividends and dividends referred to in paragraph (a) above and
stock dividends to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option to receive in
the ordinary course equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving
cash dividends), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
automatically adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal
the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record
date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Price per Common
Share, less the fair market value (as determined by the board or directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive) of such shares or options, rights or
warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets, if any, so distributed to the
holders of Common Shares, and of which the denominator shall be the total number
of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Price
per Common Share. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of Borrower
shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed.
To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price shall be
readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon such
shares or options, rights or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets
actually distributed.
d) No adjustments of the Exercise
Price shall be made pursuant to Clause C of Section (a) above or pursuant to
Sections (b) or (c) above if Registered Holder is permitted to participate in
such issuance by way of stock dividend or in the issue of such options, rights
or warrants or such distribution, as the case may be, as though and to the same
effect as if it had exercised the Exercise Amount into Common Shares prior to
the record date for such issuance by way of stock dividend or the issue of such
options, rights or warrants or such distribution, as the case may be.
e) In any case in which this paragraph
shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a
record date for an event, Borrower may defer until the occurrence of such event:
(A) issuing to Registered Holder who has exercised the Exercise
Amount (or a portion hereof) after such record date and before the occurrence of
such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of
the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable
upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment; and (B) paying to
Registered Holder cash in lieu of any fractional interest to which he
is entitled pursuant to Section (e); provided, however, that Borrower shall
deliver to Registered Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing
Registered Holder's rights to receive such additional Common Shares and such
cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to
receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in
favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the Date of Exercise
or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this
subparagraph (e), have become the holder of record of such additional Common
Shares.
f) The adjustments provided for in
this paragraph are cumulative and shall apply to successive dividends,
distributions, subdivisions, consolidations, issues or other events resulting in
any adjustment under the provisions of this paragraph; provided that,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this paragraph, no adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; provided further,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph are not required
to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
3.2
Certificate as to Adjustment. Borrower shall from time to time
immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment in
the Exercise Price as above provided, deliver an officers' certificate to
Registered Holder specifying the nature of the event requiring the
adjustment and the amount of the adjustment thereby necessitated and setting
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which
such calculation is based, which certificate and the amount of the adjustment
therein specified shall be verified by an opinion of Borrower's auditors and,
when so verified, be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest. Borrower
shall forthwith give notice of such adjustment to Registered Holder, which
notice shall specify the Exercise Price after such adjustment and the event
requiring such adjustment.
3.3 Notice to Registered Holder of
Certain Events. In the event that: Borrower shall declare on its Common
Shares any dividend payable in shares of Borrower (other than a stock dividend
to the holders of Common Shares who exercise an option to receive in the
ordinary course equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving cash
dividends) or make any other distribution on its Common Shares (other than a
cash dividend); Borrower shall offer for subscription pro rata to all the
holders of its Common Shares any additional shares of any class or Securities
exercisable into or exchangeable for Common Shares or shall issue any other
options, rights or warrants to all of such holders;there shall be a
reclassification or change of the Common Shares of the nature referred to in
Paragraph 3.4 below or an amalgamation or merger of Borrower with or into any
other corporation or a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of Borrower; orthere shall be a voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Borrower; then, in each
such case, Borrower shall give notice to Registered Holder of the
action proposed to be taken and the date on which: (A) the books of Borrower
shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution,
subscription rights or other options, rights or warrants; or (B) such
reclassification, change, amalgamation, merger, sale, transfer or other
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the
case may be, provided that Borrower shall only be required to specify in such
notice such particulars of such action as shall have been fixed and determined
at the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall also specify the
date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record shall participate in
such dividend, distribution, subscription rights or other options, rights or
warrants, or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for Securities or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, amalgamation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up as the case may be. Such written notice shall be given, with respect
to the actions described above, not less than 15 days, prior to the record date
or the date on which Borrower's transfer books are to be closed with respect
thereto. Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Etc. In the case of any
reclassification or change of the Common Shares (other than a change as a result
of a subdivision or consolidation), or in the case of any amalgamation of
Borrower with, or merger of Borrower into any other corporation (other than an
amalgamation or merger in which Borrower is the continuing corporation and which
does not result in any reclassification or change, other than as aforesaid, of
the Common Shares), or in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, Borrower or the corporation
formed by such amalgamation or the corporation into which Borrower shall have
been merged or the corporation which shall have acquired such assets, as the
case may be, shall execute and deliver to Registered Holder, if requested by
Registered Holder, evidence in form satisfactory to Registered Holder, providing
that Registered Holder shall have the right thereafter (until the
expiration of the exercise right of the Exercise Amount) to exercise the
Exercise Amount into the kind and amount of shares and other Securities and
property receivable upon such reclassification, change, amalgamation, merger,
sale, transfer or other disposition by a holder of the number of the Common
Shares into which the Exercise Amount might have been exercised immediately
prior to such reclassification, change, amalgamation, merger, sale, transfer or
other disposition. Such evidence shall provide for adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
paragraph. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, changes, amalgamations, mergers, sales, transfers
or other dispositions. Upon any reclassification or change of the Common Shares,
Borrower shall make application to The Toronto Stock Exchange or relevant
exchange where the Common Shares are listed at such time to adjust the Exercise
Price in order to give effect to this paragraph 3.4. Reservation of Shares.
Borrower shall at all times while this Warrant remains outstanding, reserve,
conditionally allot and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common
Shares, for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Total Warrant Shares,
such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect
the exercise of the entire Total Warrant Shares then outstanding. As a condition
precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment to the
Exercise Price, Borrower shall take any corporate action which is necessary in
order that Borrower shall have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital,
and may validly and legally issue, the Common Shares and/or other Securities to
which Registered Holder is entitled on the full exercise of its
exercise rights in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notice of Exercise
and Securities Law Compliance. Borrower shall give notice of the exercise of
this Warrant to the stock exchange where the Common Shares are listed for
trading and/or the securities regulatory authority in each province of Canada or
state in the United States having legislation requiring notice in order that
trades of Common Shares acquired on the exercise of this Warrant will not be
subject to any prospectus requirements of such legislation and will be freely
tradeable immediately upon issuance to Registered Holder. To the extent the
Common Shares reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of the this
Warrant require prospectus qualification with, or approval of, any securities
regulatory authority or stock exchange under any Canadian, provincial or United
States law before such shares may be validly issued, listed and posted for
trading upon exercise, Borrower will take such action as may be necessary to
secure such qualification or approval, as the case may be.
ARTICLE IV
NO VOTING RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
This Warrant until exercised shall not entitle the holder to any voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Borrower. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Registered Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the payment of the Exercise Price of Warrant Shares acquirable by exercise hereof or as a stockholder of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything set forth above, the Borrower will transmit to the Registered Holder such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to stockholders of the Borrower concurrently with the distribution thereof to such stockholders.

- Pursuant to loan participation agreement dated August 8, 2001, MRG Entertainment of Puerto Xxxxx Venezuela, LLC loaned to Fiesta Casino Guayana C.A. the sum of $530,000.00 ("Term Loan 2"). The Corporation owns 30% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of Fiesta Casino Guayana C.A;

- Nothing herein is intended to modify the agreements entered into between the parties and this certificate is intended as a summary of the contents of the agreements.
