SECTION 2. GUARANTEE
2.1. Guarantee.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each of the Note Issuers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Issuer Obligations.
(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 2 not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any such Obligation. If and to the extent required in order for the Obligations of any Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws
6
relating to the insolvency of debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under Section 2.2. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, (i) such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right under such laws to reduce, or request any judicial relief that has the effect of reducing, the amount of its liability under this Agreement, (ii) such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right to enforce the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) or to reduce, or request judicial relief reducing, the amount of its liability under this Agreement, and (iii) the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) may be enforced only to the extent required under such laws in order for the obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement to be enforceable under such laws and only by or for the benefit of a creditor, representative of creditors or bankruptcy trustee of such Guarantor or other Person entitled, under such laws, to enforce the provisions thereof.
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Issuer Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 2.1(b) without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Obligations, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Indenture the Note Issuers may be free from any Issuer Obligations.
(e) No payment made by either of the Note Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from either of the Note Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Issuer Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Issuer Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Issuer Obligations), remain liable for the Issuer Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Issuer Obligations are paid in full.
2.2 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Grantor or its property:
(a) If such payment is made by either of the Note Issuers or from their property, then, if and to the extent such payment is made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Note issued by the Note Issuers, neither of the Note Issuers shall be entitled (A) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Grantor or (B) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including any other Grantor or its property; and
(b) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Note Issuers and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of
7
reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.
(c) If and whenever (after payment in full of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Grantor against any other Grantor under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), such Grantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Grantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Grantor as set forth in this Section 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. Such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the Grantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Grantor, then (after payment in full of the Obligations) the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Grantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Grantors or of the Grantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee.
(d) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Grantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. Until payment in full of the Obligations, no Grantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Grantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Grantor, it shall be held by such Grantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Grantor to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.
(e) The obligations of the Grantors under the Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.
(f) Each Grantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Grantor, but (i) the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Mortgage Notes
8
Indenture Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right, except as provided in Section 2.2(c).
(g) Each Guarantor waives any right or claims of right to cause a marshalling of the Note Issuers' or another Guarantor's assets or to proceed against any Guarantor, the Note Issuers or any other guarantor or any of the Note Issuers' obligations in any particular order, including, but not limited to, any right arising out of Nevada Revised Statutes 40.430, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes 40.495(2).
2.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Issuer Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Issuer Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Issuer Obligations continued, and the Issuer Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Indenture and the Collateral Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee (or the requisite Holders under the Indenture or all Holders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Issuer Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Issuer Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Issuer Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Issuer Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Note Issuers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon either of the Note Issuers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Issuer Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any Collateral Document, any of the Issuer Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by either of the Note Issuers or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of either of the Note Issuers or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of either of the Note Issuers for the Issuer Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against either of the Note Issuers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Issuer Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make
9
any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from either of the Note Issuers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of either of the Note Issuers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Issuer Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of either of the Note Issuers or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, either of the Note Issuers or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
2.6 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

All Proceeds while held by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.6.
6.6. Application of Proceeds.

First, to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Secured Parties under the Indenture and the Collateral Documents;
Second, to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Holders according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Holders;
Third, to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Holders according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Holders; and

25
6.7. Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise (subject to obtaining any required approvals from any Governmental Authorities that may not be waived by the Grantors), in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each 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 the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 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. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee at places which the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.7, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including,
26
without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.
(b) In the event of any sale or transfer of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or transfer shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee or its designee with such Grantor's know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such sale or transfer, and such Grantor's customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.
6.8. Registration Rights. (a) If the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 6.7, and if in the opinion of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause, or with respect to any Issuer that is not an Affiliate of any Grantor, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause, or with respect to any Issuer that is not an Affiliate of any Grantor, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.8 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
27
contained in this Section 6.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.8 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture or a defense of payment.
6.9. Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE MORTGAGE NOTES INDENTURE TRUSTEE
7.1. Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may request to evidence the Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.7 or 6.8, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee or as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out 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, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits,
28
actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall in its reasonable judgment determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee agrees that, except as provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due interest pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.2. Duty of Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 or 9-208 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any
29
such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.
7.3. Filing of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee under this Agreement. Each Grantor hereby agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Collateral Documents or as "all assets" or "all personal property" of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the undersigned. If and to the extent permitted by applicable law, a photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
7.4. Authority of Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee and the Grantors, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
7.5. Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents. At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any Requirement of Law or otherwise, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other persons, either to act as bailee, co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, include provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent); provided that the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice of such appointment to all Grantors pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
8.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 13.02 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), 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 to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
30
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Collateral Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Issuers would be required to indemnify the Trustee under Section 7.07 of the Indenture.
(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents.
8.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee.
8.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Indenture, any Collateral Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.
8.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
31
8.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (including by reason of the application of Gaming Laws or non-approval of the Gaming Authorities as set forth in Section 8.17) shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
8.10. Integration. This Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein, in the Indenture or in the Collateral Documents.
8.11. GOVERNING LAW. SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE GAMING LAWS AND MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF NEW YORK LAW WHICH MAY REQUIRE APPLICATION OF NEVADA OR DELAWARE LAW AS TO CERTAIN ISSUES OF PERFECTION, THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION, AND THE PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTERESTS, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8.12. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
8.13. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party;
32
(b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture or the Collateral Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the the Indenture or the Collateral Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.
8.14. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, LLC that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.31 of the Indenture shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
8.15. Releases. (a) At such time as the Notes and the other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent reimbursement and indemnification Obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall deliver to such Grantor any of such Grantor's Collateral held by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be transferred or sold by any Grantor in a transaction not prohibited by the Indenture, then the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of either Note Issuer, a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Guarantor shall be transferred or sold in a transaction not prohibited by the Indenture; provided that the Note Issuers shall have delivered to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, at least ten business days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Guarantor and the terms of such sale or transfer in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by each Note Issuer stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents and that the Proceeds of such sale or transfer will be applied in accordance therewith.
(c) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee subject to such Grantor's rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the New York UCC.
8.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR AND THE MORTGAGE NOTES INDENTURE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDENTURE OR ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
8.17. Regulatory Matters. The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Lenders, acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) At such time as any Grantor becomes subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities as a licensee or registered company under the Gaming Laws (or prior to such time in furtherance of any Grantor's application to become a licensee or registered company under the
33
Gaming Laws), the pledge of any Pledged Stock or other equity securities issued by such Grantor ("Pledged Gaming Stock") under this Agreement will require the approval of the Gaming Authorities in order to remain effective.
(b) In the event that a Secured Party exercises a remedy set forth in this 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 as in effect on the date hereof and the licensing of such Secured Party or other transferee, unless such licensing requirement is waived by the Gaming Authorities.
(c) In the event that after a Secured Party exercises a remedy set forth in this Agreement with respect to Collateral consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering systems and associated equipment (as those terms are defined in the Gaming Laws) a transfer, sale, distribution, or other disposition of such Collateral occurs (separate from any foreclosure action by a Secured Party unless such Secured Party utilizes such Collateral for gaming purposes), such transfer, sale, distribution, or other disposition of such Collateral would require the separate and prior approval of the Gaming Authorities pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws as in effect on the date hereof or the licensing of such Secured Party or other transferee.
(d) The approval by the applicable Gaming Authorities of this Agreement shall not act or be construed as the approval, either express or implied, for a Secured Party to take any actions or steps provided for in this Agreement for which prior approval of the Gaming Authorities is required, without first obtaining such prior and separate approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities to the extent then required applicable Gaming Laws.
(e) 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 Gaming Authorities, and each of such certificates shall be made available for inspection by agents of the Gaming Authorities immediately upon request during normal business hours. Neither the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall surrender possession of the Pledged Gaming Stock to any Person other than the Grantor pledging such Pledged Gaming Stock without the prior approval of the Gaming Authorities or as otherwise permitted by applicable Gaming Laws.
(f) It shall cooperate with the Gaming Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over certain of the Grantors, including, without limitation, through the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by the Gaming Authorities relating to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, the Holders or such Grantors.
(g) The Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, the Holders and their respective assignees are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability in order to remain entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as it relates to Pledged Gaming Stock.
8.18. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that the Grantors have entered into that certain Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the "Bank Guarantee and Collateral Agreement"), dated as of October 30, 2002, among the Grantors, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent") and that the Administrative Agent and the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee have entered into that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2002, by and between the Administrative Agent, the Mortgage Note Indenture Trustee and Xxxxx Fargo Bank Nevada, National
34
Association, as collateral agent (the "Intercreditor Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, the Administrative Agent and the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee have agreed to certain priorities with respect to the Collateral covered hereby. In accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and in furtherance of the Administrative Agent's senior rights with respect to the Collateral covered hereby, any provisions hereof that require the delivery of any Collateral under this Agreement shall be deemed satisfied so long as such Collateral has been delivered to the Administrative Agent under the Bank Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
35
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
