GUARANTY

In recognition of the direct and indirect benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the proceeds of the Term Loans, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranty in this Article II is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Article II shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:
8
(a) the validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party and/or any Guarantor is or may become a party;
(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

Each Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the Administrative Agent which is inconsistent with the waivers in the second preceding sentence shall be null and void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Article II for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Article II, unless Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. It is agreed among each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for the Guaranty in this Article II and such waivers, the Administrative Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into the Loan Agreement and Secured Parties would decline to enter into the applicable documents governing the Guarantied Obligations.
Section 2.02 Demand by the Administrative Agent or Lenders. In addition to the terms of the Guaranty set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of the Guarantied Obligations (including all accrued interest thereon) is declared to be immediately due and payable, then Guarantors shall, without demand, pay to the holders of the Guarantied Obligations the entire outstanding Guarantied Obligations due and owing to such holders. Payment by Guarantors shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Administrative Agent or at any other address that may be specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative Agent, and shall be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations.
Section 2.03 Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option in its sole discretion) to proceed against Borrower or any other Credit Party or any Collateral pledged to secure the Guarantied Obligations before seeking satisfaction from any or all of the Guarantors, and the Administrative Agent may proceed, prior or subsequent to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent's rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which it may have against any Collateral, as a result of any Lien it may have as security for all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations.

If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Administrative Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by the Administrative Agent and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Administrative Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which such Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by the Administrative Agent. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair each Guarantor's obligation to pay the full amount of the Guarantied Obligations. In the event the Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Guarantied Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Guarantied Obligations. Any difference between such bid amount and the remaining
11
balance of the Guarantied Obligations shall be deemed to be the amount of the Guarantied Obligations guaranteed under this Agreement.
Section 2.09 Limitation on Guaranty of Guarantors. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the amount which could be claimed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from such Guarantor under the this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable law.

(b) Subject to compliance with Gaming Laws, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed without further action to have granted to each Grantor all necessary consents relating to voting rights and shall, if necessary, upon written request of any Grantor and at the sole cost and expense of such Grantor, from time to time execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Grantor all such instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request in order to permit such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i) hereof and to receive the Distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(ii) hereof.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
(i) All rights of each Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i) hereof shall immediately cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.
(ii) All rights of each Grantor to receive Distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(ii) hereof shall immediately cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole right to receive and hold such Distributions as Collateral.

Section 7.01 Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Article IX hereof at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent of such Grantor's rights and effective only during the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable, non- exclusive license, subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use and sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral then owned by or licensed to such Grantor. Such license shall include access to all devices, products and media in which any of the Intellectual Property Collateral is embodied, embedded, recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.
Section 7.02 Dealing With Intellectual Property. On a continuing basis, each Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense,
(a) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Administrative Agent of any final adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office regarding such Grantor's claim of ownership in or right to use any of the material Intellectual Property Collateral, or such Grantor's right to keep and maintain such material Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect,
(b) maintain and protect the material Intellectual Property Collateral as presently used and operated and as contemplated by the Loan Agreement,
(c) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any material Intellectual Property Collateral as presently used and operated and as contemplated by the Loan Agreement, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to such Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment,
(d) upon such Grantor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any of the material Intellectual Property Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof,
(e) not license the Intellectual Property Collateral, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that could materially impair the value of the Intellectual Property Collateral or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral created therein hereby, without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld),
(f) diligently keep adequate records respecting its material Intellectual Property Collateral, and
(g) furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon the Administrative Agent's reasonable request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to the Intellectual Property Collateral as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

Section 7.03 Additional Intellectual Property. If any Grantor shall at any time after the date hereof (a) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or (b) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any registration, renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 7.03 with respect to such Grantor shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Collateral as if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Grantor shall promptly within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter (i) provide to the Administrative Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and (ii) confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 7.03 by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Administrative Agent's security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral, including by execution and filing of a supplemental Intellectual Property Security Agreement in accordance with Section 4.06 hereof.

Section 7.04 Intellectual Property Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, each Grantor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors, such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all commercially reasonable acts and execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Grantors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 7.04 in accordance with Section 10.08. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral as permitted by this Section 7.04 and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any suit, proceeding or other action against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.

GAMING LAWS AND GAMING LICENSES
GAMING LAWS AND GAMING LICENSES
Section 8.01 Additional Provisions Relating to Gaming Laws and Gaming Licenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the Administrative Agent's request, it will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly cooperate with the Administrative Agent with respect to the filing of its applications for approval and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all other and further actions required by the Administrative Agent to assist the Administrative Agent in obtaining such approvals or consents of the Gaming Authorities, and any other Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction as are necessary for the Administrative Agent, to operate the businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to acquire an interest in any Person holding any such Gaming License pursuant to the Gaming Laws. To enforce the provisions of this Section 8.01, the Administrative Agent is empowered to request the appointment of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such receiver shall be instructed to seek from the applicable Gaming Authorities and any other Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction authorization pursuant to the Gaming Laws to continue operation of the businesses of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries under all necessary Gaming Licenses for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser of the businesses of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries. Each Grantor hereby agrees to consent to, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to consent to such an authorization pursuant to the Gaming Laws to continue the operation of the businesses of such Grantor and its Subsidiaries upon the request of the receiver so appointed and, if any Grantor or any such Subsidiary shall refuse to so consent, its consent may be required by the court. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall further use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to assist in obtaining approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities and any other Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction, if required, for any action or transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Documents, including, preparation, execution, and filing with the applicable Gaming Authorities and any other Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction of any application or applications for authorization pursuant to the Gaming Laws for the receiver to continue the operation of the businesses of any Grantor and its Subsidiaries under any Gaming License or transfer of control necessary or appropriate under the applicable Gaming Laws for approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the authorization pursuant to the Gaming Laws for the receiver to continue the operation of the businesses of any Grantor and its Subsidiaries under the Gaming Licenses or for a transfer of control is integral to the Administrative Agent's realization of the value of the Collateral, that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by each Grantor to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.01 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 8.01 may be specifically enforced.
24
(b) All rights, remedies, and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provision of the Gaming Laws and all provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws and to be limited solely to the extent necessary to not render the provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. The Administrative Agent will timely apply for and receive all required approvals of the applicable Gaming Authorities for the sale or other disposition of gaming equipment regulated by the Gaming Laws (including any such sale or disposition of gaming equipment consisting of slot machines, gaming tables, cards, dice, gaming chips, player tracking systems, and all other "gaming devices" (as such term or words of like import referring thereto are defined in the Gaming Laws), and "associated equipment" (as such term or words of like import referring thereto are defined in the Gaming Laws).
Section 8.02 Compliance with Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent expressly acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement is subject to the mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws. Specifically, the Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) The pledge of the Securities Collateral by Grantors, and any restrictions on the transfer of and agreements not to encumber the Securities Collateral contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, are not effective without the prior approval the applicable Gaming Authorities. The certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral may not be delivered to the Administrative Agent until such approval has been obtained. The approval of the pledge of the Securities Collateral may require amendment of this Agreement to include additional references to regulatory requirements under the Gaming Laws.
25
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent exercises one or more of the remedies set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Securities Collateral, including without limitation, foreclosure or transfer of any interest in the Securities Collateral (except back to Grantors), the exercise of voting and consensual rights, and any other resort to or enforcement of the security interest in the Securities Collateral, such action shall require the separate and prior approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities and the licensing of the Administrative Agent, unless such licensing requirement is waived by the applicable Gaming Authorities.
(c) The Administrative Agent and any custodial agent of the Administrative Agent in the jurisdictions of the applicable Gaming Authorities shall be required to comply with the conditions, if any, imposed by the applicable Gaming Authorities in connection with its approval of the pledge granted hereunder by Grantors.
(d) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any agent of the Administrative Agent shall surrender possession of any Securities Collateral to any Person other than Grantors without the prior approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities.
(e) The approval by the applicable Gaming Authorities of this Agreement, or any amendment hereto, is not, and shall not be construed as, the approval, either express or implied, of the Administrative Agent to take any actions provided for in this Agreement for which approval by the applicable Gaming Authorities is required, without first obtaining such prior and separate approval, to the extent required by the Gaming Laws.
ARTICLE IX
REMEDIES
REMEDIES
Section 9.01 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise, without any other notice to or demand upon any Grantor, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or in any other Credit Document or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may:
(i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent immediately, assemble the Collateral or any part thereof, as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent;
(ii) without notice except as specified below, sell, resell, assign and deliver or grant a license to use or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable;
(iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation;
26
(iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Contracts, the Receivables, the Material Contracts, the Specified Hedging Agreements, and the other Collateral, (B) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables, the Material Contracts, the Specified Hedging Agreements and the other Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC and (C) exercise any and all voting, consensual and other rights with respect to any Collateral; and
(v) with respect to any Grantor's Deposit Accounts in which the Administrative Agent's Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the UCC, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative, and with respect to any Grantor's Securities Accounts in which the Administrative Agent's Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the UCC, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Agent.
Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' notice to such 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. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and 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, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Each Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action with regard thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
(b) All payments received by any Grantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
(c) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or part of the Secured Obligations against any funds deposited with it or held by it.
27
(d) Upon the written demand of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of any or all of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five (5) Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Grantor under the Intellectual Property Collateral, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Administrative Agent's behalf.
(e) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Securities Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 9.01, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
(i) provide the Administrative Agent with such information and projections as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to enable the Administrative Agent to effect the sale of such Securities Collateral; and
(ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Securities Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with Applicable Law.
(f) The Administrative Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.01, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Securities Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto, prepared pursuant to Section 9.01(e); (ii) any information and projections provided to it pursuant to Section 9.01(e), and (iii) any other information in its possession relating to such Securities Collateral.
(g) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by reason of the failure of such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 9.01(e); and consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Securities Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent demands compliance with Section 9.01(e) above.
(h) Each Grantor acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to seek an immediate writ of possession. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to seek the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights.
Section 9.02 No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Administrative Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 10.06), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
28
Section 9.03 Application of Proceeds . Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies hereunder, any proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any realization upon any Collateral shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.

Section 10.01 Concerning Administrative Agent.
(a) Appointment. The Administrative Agent has been appointed as Administrative Agent in the Loan Agreement and shall act in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Administrative Agent may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights (including making demands and giving notices) and take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may resign and a successor Administrative Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement. On the acceptance of appointment as the successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Administrative Agent.
(b) Duty of care. The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral (including matters relating to the Pledged Stock, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters) or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.
(c) Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder.
(d) Conflict. If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Administrative Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other document in respect of such collateral, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless the other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument expressly states otherwise.

Section 10.02 Performance By Administrative Agent. If any Grantor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including covenants to pay insurance, taxes and claims arising by operation of law in respect of the Collateral and to pay or perform any Grantor obligations under any Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Grantor contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may make payments for such purpose; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Grantor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Grantor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. Any and all amounts so paid by the Administrative Agent shall be reimbursed by the Grantors in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.08. Neither the provisions of this Section 10.02 nor any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.02 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default.
Section 10.03 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default in the Administrative Agent's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Credit Documents which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Grantor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). Except where prior notice is expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Grantor prior to taking any action taken in the preceding sentence, provided, that failure to deliver such notice shall not limit the Administrative Agent's right to take such action or the validity of any such action. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
Section 10.04 Continuing Security Interest and Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Grantors, their respective successors and assigns and (b) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling Persons; provided, that no Grantor shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Loan Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Specified Hedging Agreement, such Specified Hedging Agreement.
Section 10.05 Termination and Release.

At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
30
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement, then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such Collateral shall be released, and the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases and other documents reasonably necessary or advisable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral; provided, that the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent evidence of such transaction's compliance with the Loan Agreement and the other Credit Documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Grantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement; provided, that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Loan Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Section 10.06 Modification in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall be effective, except by a written instrument signed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Any amendment, modification or supplement of any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Grantor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
Section 10.07 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and, as to any Grantor, addressed to it at the address of the Grantor set forth in Schedule 1 hereof and as to the Administrative Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.
Section 10.08 [Reserved.]
Section 10.09 Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule of any jurisdiction that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the courts of the State of California or in the United States of America for the Central District of California, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and (ii) waive any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by certified or registered mail to such party's address set forth in Schedule 12.02 of the Loan Agreement shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e. "pdf" or "tif") format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.12 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, nor the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor's part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any Person in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Grantor's part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Grantor contained in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral. The obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 10.12 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Grantor's other obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Section 10.13 Obligations Absolute. Each Grantor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
32
(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any Credit Document or any related agreement or instrument;
(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations or any other obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of any Credit Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for the Secured Obligations;
(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;
(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;
(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Secured Obligations;
(g) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Credit Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Credit Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party; each Grantor waiving any duty of the Secured Parties to disclose such information;
(h) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any other agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations;
(i) the failure of any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Credit Document or otherwise;
(j) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Borrower against any Secured Party; or
(k) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might vary the risk of any Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety.
Section 10.14 Keepwell. Each Qualified Counterparty hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified Counterparty shall only be liable under this Section 10.14 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.14, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Counterparty under this Section 10.14 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.05. Each Qualified Counterparty intends that this Section 10.14 constitute, and this Section 10.14 shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
