and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral
Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the
security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe
the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description
of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of
the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Each Grantor shall
furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time, if so requested by Collateral Agent, statements
and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in

necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right,
title and interest of Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to any of such

Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations
arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other
Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower
to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any
Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails
to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
Security Agreement

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
6.1 Power of Attorney. Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, each Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest
and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral
Agent or otherwise, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and applicable
Legal Requirements, from time to time upon and following the occurrence and continuation of an
Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and
adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor (if not so obtained by such Grantor) or
paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for,
demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys
due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive,
endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with
clause (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims

Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
(f) to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, to take or cause to be taken all actions
necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted
Liens arising solely by operation of law) levied or placed upon or threatened against the
Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be
determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral
Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately
without demand; and
(g) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Security Agreement
9
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts
and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise
any such powers or pursue or exhaust any of their rights against any Grantor, any other obligor,
guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue
or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefore or any direct
or indirect guarantee thereof. The Collateral Agent and 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, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor
for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
SECTION 7. REMEDIES.
7.1 Generally.
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement,
the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and under any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, subject to the terms of the Bank Intercreditor Agreement and subject to
compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Law, Collateral Agent may exercise all rights and remedies
of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
expressly agrees that in any such event Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other
demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notices which may be expressly required
under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or the Bank Intercreditor Agreement and for the
notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any
other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and other notices are hereby expressly
waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith enter
upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without
judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other
Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Collateral Agent’s claim or action and may
uninstall, remove, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith inspect, sell, lease, license, assign, give an
option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of or otherwise realize upon
(including, without limitation, by making, adjusting or settling any claim related to any insurance
or condemnation proceeds which may be payable with respect to any of the
Security Agreement
10
Collateral) and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or
more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem
acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Collateral Agent or any other 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 for the
benefit of Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral
so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby
releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice.
Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere
and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as
Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continued, each Grantor further agrees, at
Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Collateral Agent at
a place or places designated by Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to Collateral
Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until Collateral Agent is
able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Collateral Agent shall have the
right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for
the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by
Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve
the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is
in the possession of Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment
of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Collateral Agent’s
remedies (for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such
appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Collateral Agent shall apply
the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to
the Obligations as provided in the Section 7.2 of this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except
such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or such
Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that
ten (10) days prior notice by Collateral Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the
time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.
Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other
expenses incurred by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment,
demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in
connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
Security Agreement
11
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not
commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed
significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete
raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition,
(ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for
the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against any other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens
on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against any other
Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media
of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact
other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in
acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers
to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of
assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or
that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi)
to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss,
collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return
from the removal, collection or disposition of Collateral, (xii) to uninstall or otherwise remove
any Collateral (whether or not in the nature of a fixture) from any premises where the same may
have been installed or otherwise located or to fail to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
as part of any sale or other disposition of such premises or any other assets of any Grantor or any
Subsidiary of any Grantor, or (xiii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to
obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to
assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each
Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications
of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions
by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on
Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).
(d) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the other Secured Parties shall be required to make any
demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other
obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or
to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or
Security Agreement
12
remedies with respect to any Collateral therefore or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor the other Secured Parties shall be required to marshal the
Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee
in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Credit
Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and
irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert
against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement,
extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety
now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any
Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of
sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all
proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the
Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority:
first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other
realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel,
and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification
hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by
the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all
costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or
thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other
Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of all Secured Parties; and third, to the
extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of such Grantor or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct.
7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor
will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and
applied to Indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds
of the sale.
7.4 [Intentionally Reserved].
7.5 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Solely for the purpose of enabling the
Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 (including, without limiting
the terms this Section 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble,
prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) and at such time as the
Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor
hereby grants to the Collateral Agent,
Security Agreement
13
for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, to the extent it has the
right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of trademarks, to sufficient rights of
quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said
trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any intellectual property now owned or
hereafter acquired by such Grantor that is affixed, embedded in, or otherwise necessary to the
operation of the Designated FF&E, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such
license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, solely to the extent
that each Grantor has the right pursuant to the terms of the applicable license, contract or
agreement to grant the Collateral Agent such irrevocable, non-exclusive license.
7.6 Cash Proceeds. During the continuance of an Event of Default any proceeds of any
Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other similar non-cash items
(collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Grantor, be
turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by
such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent from a Grantor when an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the
Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or
(B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured
Obligations then due and owing in accordance with the application of proceeds set forth in Section
7.2.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and,
by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall
be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right
individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by
such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. Collateral
Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders
and the Grantors, and Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and Collateral Agent
signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal,
Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon
Security Agreement
14
five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, to appoint a
successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor
Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the
retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Collateral Agent all sums and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all
records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the
duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such
successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created hereunder,
whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the
Collateral Agent hereunder. The Collateral Agent (including any successor Collateral Agent) shall
enjoy the benefits afforded it under Section 9.6 of the Credit Agreement, it being understood that
the indemnification provided thereunder shall come from the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share
as set forth therein.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain
in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Such security interests shall be binding upon
each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees
and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans by it to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. On the Termination Date, the security interest granted
hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors’ expense,
execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors
shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments and UCC-3 termination statements
to evidence such termination. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of property permitted
by the Credit Agreement (or agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and/or Administrative Agent under
the Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof), the Liens granted herein shall be
deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable
Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. To the extent any property (including
Specified FF&E) is financed by any lender pursuant to an Other FF&E Facility in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall
Security Agreement
15
release any Liens in favor of the Secured Parties on such assets (subject to the standstill or
intercreditor agreement, if any, executed by the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent in
connection with such Other FF&E Facility). The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense,
execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall
reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
including financing statement amendments to evidence such releases.
SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its
own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part 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 otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may (to the extent provided herein) itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in
accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or
privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise
thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies otherwise available.
(c) In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Security Agreement
16
All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or
condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists.
(d) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right,
duty or obligation hereunder.
(e) This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the
parties.
(f) This Agreement may be amended only by a written amendment executed by all the parties
hereto evidencing their consent to such amendments. The consent of the Collateral Agent shall be
directed by, to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, the vote of Required Lenders (or such
other group of Lenders as is required thereunder).
(g) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original,
but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature
pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so
that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
(h) SUBJECT TO THE APPLICATION OF NEVADA GAMING LAWS, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW
PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS).
(i) Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall
not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
(j) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
Security Agreement
17
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security
Agreement.
(k) Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this
Security Agreement and, specifically, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 11(h), with its
counsel.
(l) This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should
any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets,
and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party,
whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
SECTION 12. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.
All obligations and liabilities of the Grantors under the Existing Security Agreement shall be
continued, extended as obligations and liabilities of the Grantors hereunder, and shall cover all
Obligations from and after the Restatement Effective Date, and shall not be deemed to be paid,
released, discharged or otherwise satisfied by the execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall not be deemed to constitute a substitution or novation of such obligations and liabilities.
This Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, obligations or Liens
created pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the
Existing FF&E Credit Agreement), whether or not such document is amended and restated in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise, or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the
extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Closing Date, and except as modified hereby or by
documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
and all of such rights, duties, obligations and Liens are continued, ratified and affirmed by the
parties hereto.
