12
determines that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 with respect to a requested Advance have been satisfied, but no less than three (3) Banking Days prior to the requested Advance Date, the Disbursement Agent shall countersign the Notice of Advance Request and deliver the same to the Company and each of the Funding Agents (as so countersigned, an "Advance Confirmation Notice").

In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as to increase the amounts to be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility or the FF&E Facility, the amounts of such increase shall constitute the same type of Loans as requested in such Advance Request (unless otherwise prohibited under the Bank Credit Agreement or the FF&E Facility Agreement, as applicable). In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as to decrease the amounts to be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility or the FF&E Facility, the amounts of such decrease shall (unless otherwise requested by the Company and permitted under the Bank Credit Agreement or the FF&E Facility Agreement, as applicable) first reduce the amount of Base Rate Loans requested under such Facility and then reduce the amount of Eurodollar Loans requested under such Facility.

The Stop Funding Notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the conditions precedent which the Disbursement Agent has determined have not been satisfied and/or shall attach a copy of any notice of default received by the Disbursement Agent. Upon such written notice from the Disbursement Agent, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, (i) neither the Bank Lenders nor the FF&E Lenders shall have any obligation to advance their respective Facilities' portion of the requested Advance, if any, (ii) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account for the purpose of transferring such funds to the Disbursement Account or for the purpose of paying any Debt Service on the Bank Credit Facility or the FF&E Facility (provided that the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw funds from the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account for the purpose of paying

The Company shall promptly notify the Disbursement Agent prior to the making of any Advances in the event that any of the matters to which the Company certified in the corresponding Advance Request are no longer true and correct in all material respects (provided that the foregoing materiality qualifier shall not apply to any certification contained in such Advance Request which by its own terms already includes a standard of materiality), as of the applicable Advance Date (except that any certification that relates expressly to an earlier date shall be deemed made only as of such earlier date). The acceptance by the
15
Company of the proceeds of any Advance shall constitute a re-certification by the Company, as of the applicable Advance Date, of all matters certified to in the related Advance Request.
2.4.6 References to Dates. In the event that any day or date referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 occurs on a day that is not a Banking Day, the reference shall be deemed to be to the next succeeding Banking Day.

Each of the Operative Documents to which the Loan Parties are a party is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Loan Party, as the case may be, enforceable against the Loan Parties, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy and similar laws and principles of equity.

—THE DISBURSEMENT AGENT
9.1 Appointment and Acceptance. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Funding Agents hereby jointly and irrevocably appoint and authorize the Disbursement Agent to act on their behalf hereunder and under the Collateral Account Agreements and any other account agreements to which it is a party (collectively, the "Related Agreements"). The Disbursement Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts and utilize commercially prudent practices in the performance of its duties hereunder consistent with those of similar institutions holding collateral, administering construction loans and disbursing disbursement control funds.
9.2 Duties and Liabilities of the Disbursement Agent Generally.
9.2.1 Commencing upon execution and delivery hereof, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right to meet periodically at reasonable times, however no less frequently than quarterly, upon three (3) Banking Days' notice, with representatives of the Company, the Construction Consultant, the Prime Contractor, the Project Architect and such other Contractors, employees, consultants or agents as the Disbursement Agent shall reasonably request to be present for such meetings. The Disbursement Agent may perform such inspections and tests of the Project as it deems reasonably appropriate in the performance of its duties hereunder. In addition, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right at reasonable times upon prior notice to review all information (including Project Documents) supporting the amendments to the Project Budget, amendments to any Project Documents, the Company's Advance Requests and any certificates in support of any of the foregoing, to inspect materials stored on the Mortgaged Property or at any other location, to review the insurance required pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements, to confirm receipt of endorsements from the Title Insurer insuring the continuing priority of the liens of the Deeds of Trust as security for each Advance hereunder, and to examine the Plans and Specifications and all shop drawings relating to the Project. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to contact any Contractor for purposes of confirming receipt of progress payments. The Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to examine, copy and make extracts of the books, records, accounting data and other documents of the Company, including without limitation bills of sale, statements, receipts, conditional and unconditional lien releases, contracts or agreements, which relate to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated into the Project. From time to time, at the request of the Disbursement Agent, the Company shall make available to the Disbursement Agent a Project Schedule. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Disbursement Agent in assisting the Disbursement Agent to perform its duties hereunder and to take such further steps as the Disbursement Agent reasonably may request in order to facilitate the Disbursement Agent's performance of its obligations hereunder.
9.2.2 Powers, Rights and Remedies. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Related Agreements as are specifically delegated or granted to the Disbursement Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Disbursement Agent agrees to act in accordance with the instructions of the Controlling Person and in the absence of such instructions shall take such actions or refrain from acting as it deems reasonable subject to any express requirements of this Agreement. Unless a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither the Funding Agents nor the Disbursement Agent shall
70
instruct the Securities Intermediary to take an action inconsistent with the Company's instructions (if such Company instructions are consistent with the requirements of this Agreement).
9.2.3 Notice of Events of Default. If the Disbursement Agent notifies any Funding Agent that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default known to it (or as to which it has received notice from any Funding Agent) has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Disbursement Agent shall provide prompt notice to each of the Funding Agents of the same and otherwise shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the documents constituting or executed in connection with this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the reasonable administration of its own affairs.
9.2.4 No Risk of Own Funds. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Disbursement Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under the Related Agreements, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
9.2.5 No Imputed Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the entity acting as Disbursement Agent also serves as a collateral agent or Funding Agent under the Financing Agreements, and except if such functions shall be performed by the same individuals within such entity to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Disbursement Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of any fact known to such entity in its capacity as the collateral agent or Funding Agent by reason of the fact that the Disbursement Agent and the collateral agent or Funding Agent, as the case may be, are the same entity. Except as aforesaid, no knowledge of the collateral agent or any Funding Agent shall be attributed to the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent's duties and functions hereunder shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon the Disbursement Agent in its capacity as Bank Agent or as Lender. With respect to its participation in the extensions of credit under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Funding Agent or Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing its duties and functions hereunder. The Disbursement Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. Each party hereto acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is, in addition to acting as the Disbursement Agent hereunder, also acting as the initial Bank Agent, Securities Intermediary, investment manager on behalf of the Loan Parties, and may be a Bank Lender.
9.3 Particular Duties and Liabilities of the Disbursement Agent.
9.3.1 Reliance For Instructions. The Disbursement Agent may, from time to time, in the event that any matter arises as to which specific instructions are not provided herein or in a Related Agreement (as applicable), request directions from the Funding Agents or the Controlling Person with respect to such matters and may refuse to act until so instructed and shall be fully protected in acting or refusing to act in accordance with such instructions.
9.3.2 Reliance Generally. The Disbursement Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document believed by it on reasonable grounds to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
71
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in performing its duties hereunder, including approving any Advance Requests, making any other determinations or taking any other actions hereunder, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to rely on certifications from the Company (and, where contemplated herein, certifications from third parties, including the Construction Consultant) as to satisfaction of any requirements and/or conditions imposed by this Agreement. The Disbursement Agent shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation as to the accuracy, veracity or completeness of any such items or to investigate any other facts or circumstances to verify compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder.
9.3.3 Court Orders. The Disbursement Agent is authorized, in its exclusive discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or administrative agency affecting any money, documents or things held by the Disbursement Agent.

9.3.4 Requests, etc. of the Company. Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) by an instrument signed by one of its Responsible Officers, and any resolution of the Company may be evidenced to the Disbursement Agent by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.
9.3.5 Reliance on Opinions of Counsel. The Disbursement Agent may consult with counsel and any written opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder or under any Related Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel.
9.3.6 Action through Agents or Attorneys. The Disbursement Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder or under any Related Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys appointed with due care, and the Disbursement Agent shall not be responsible for any act on the part of any agent or attorney so appointed.
9.3.7 Marshaling of Assets. The Disbursement Agent need not marshal in any particular order any particular part or piece of the Project Security held by the Disbursement Agent in its capacity as Disbursement Agent hereunder or under any Related Agreement, or any of the funds or assets that the Disbursement Agent may be entitled to receive or have claim upon.
9.3.8 Disagreements.
(a) In the event of any disagreement between a Funding Agent and the Company or any other Person or Persons whether or not named herein, and adverse claims or demands are made in connection with or for any of the investments or amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or under any Related Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled at its option to refuse to comply with any such claim or demand so long as such disagreement shall continue, and in so doing, the Disbursement Agent shall not be or become liable for damages or interest to such Funding Agent or the Company or any other Person or Persons for the Disbursement Agent's failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting or adverse claims or demands. The Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to continue so to refrain and refuse so to act until:
(i) the rights of the adverse claimants have been fully adjudicated in the court assuming and having jurisdiction of the claimants and the investments and amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or under any Related Agreement; or
72
(ii) all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement, and the Disbursement Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing by all persons deemed by the Disbursement Agent, in its sole discretion, to have an interest therein.
(b) In addition, the Disbursement Agent, in its sole discretion, may file a suit in interpleader for the purpose of having the respective rights of all claimants adjudicated, and may deposit with the court all of the investments and amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or under any Related Agreement. The Company agrees to pay all costs and reasonable counsel fees incurred by the Disbursement Agent in such action, said costs and fees to be included in the judgment in any such action.
9.4 Segregation of Funds and Property Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Financing Agreements, monies and other property received by the Disbursement Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held for the purposes for which they were received, and shall be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law. To the extent that the Disbursement Agent also acts as securities intermediary, (a) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the Company Accounts (other than the FF&E Proceeds Account, the Company's FF&E Payment Account, the Bank Proceeds Account and the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account), have been pledged to the Project Secured Parties and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for the Project Secured Parties, (b) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the FF&E Proceeds Account and the Company's FF&E Payment Account have been pledged to the FF&E Agent for the benefit of the FF&E Secured Parties and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such Persons, (c) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the Bank Proceeds Account have been pledged to the Bank Agent for the benefit of the Bank Lenders and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such Persons and (d) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account have been pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Second Mortgage Notes Holders and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such Persons. Accordingly, all such funds and assets shall not be within the bankruptcy "estate" (as such term is used in 11 U.S.C. § 541) of the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.5 to compensate the Disbursement Agent and to pay or reimburse the Disbursement Agent for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness (and shall be deemed permitted indebtedness under each Financing Agreement) hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement.

6
instruction or action constitutes a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement; or (3) this Agreement has terminated, unless notified in writing by Secured Party that this Agreement has terminated and such notice has not been withdrawn.

Securities Intermediary hereby further acknowledges that it holds the Collateral Accounts, and all Security Entitlements therein, as securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the Code) and custodian for, for the benefit of, and subject to the control of, Secured Party. Securities Intermediary shall, by book entry or otherwise, indicate that the Collateral Accounts, and all Security Entitlements registered to or held therein, are subject to the control of Secured Party as provided in Section 4(f).
(c) Securities Intermediary Has No Notice of Adverse Claims. Securities Intermediary represents and warrants that (i) it has no notice of any adverse claim against any of the Collateral other than the claim of Secured Party under this Agreement; and (ii) it is not, in its capacity as securities intermediary, party to any agreement other than this Agreement that governs its rights or duties, or limits or conflicts with the rights of Secured Party, including the exclusive right of Secured Party to control as provided in Section 4(f), with respect to the Collateral Accounts; provided, however, that the parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Pledgor, Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee will enter into a Local Second Mortgage Notes Collateral Account Agreement (the "Local Second Mortgage Notes Collateral Account Agreement") pursuant to which Pledgor shall grant a security interest in, and control over, certain of the Collateral Accounts to the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to the Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement, the security interest so granted to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to and subordinate to the security interest over the same collateral granted to Secured Party hereunder.
7
Securities Intermediary agrees that until such time as it has been notified in writing by Secured Party that this Agreement has terminated, Securities Intermediary shall not comply with any Entitlement Orders originated by the Indenture Trustee or take any of the actions specified in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 4(f) above, except with the consent of Secured Party.
(d) Securities Intermediary Shall Not Acknowledge Other Claims.

SECTION 7. Securities Intermediary Maintenance of the Collateral Accounts.
(a) Transactions Shall Comply With Rules. The parties acknowledge that all transactions in Financial Assets under this Agreement shall be in accordance with the rules and customs of the exchange, market or clearing organization, if any, in which the transactions are executed or settled and in conformity with applicable law and regulations of governmental authorities and future amendments or supplements thereto.
(b) Fees and Charges of Securities Intermediary. Pledgor shall pay to Securities Intermediary, in accordance with Securities Intermediary's usual schedule of charges or any written agreement between Securities Intermediary and Pledgor, any fees or charges reasonably imposed by Securities Intermediary with respect to, the establishment, maintenance and transactions in or affecting the Collateral Accounts.
(c) Securities Intermediary Shall Not Permit Leverage of Investments. Securities Intermediary shall not execute any transaction to acquire a Financial Asset under Section 4(b) unless (A) there are sufficient funds in a specific Collateral Account to settle such transactions or (B) it is reasonably anticipated that such funds will be generated through the liquidation of Financial Assets in such Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that Securities Intermediary executes a transaction without adequate funds to settle the transaction, then unless the Securities Intermediary acted willfully or in a grossly negligent manner, Pledgor shall be liable to Securities Intermediary for any deficiency and shall promptly reimburse Securities Intermediary for any loss or expense incurred thereby, including losses sustained by reason of Securities Intermediary's inability to borrow any securities or other property sold for the Collateral Account. Pledgor agrees to pay interest charges which may be imposed by Securities Intermediary in accordance with its usual custom, with respect to late payments for Financial Assets purchased for any Collateral Account and prepayments to any Collateral Account (i.e., the crediting of the proceeds of sale before the settlement date or receipt by Securities Intermediary of the items sold in good deliverable form). Pledgor agrees to pay promptly any amount which may become due in order to satisfy demands for additional margin or marks to market with respect to any security purchased or sold on instruction from Pledgor.
(d) Risk of Investments and Transactions. It is not the intention of the parties that Securities Intermediary should bear any investment risk associated with Permitted Investments or Overnight Investments acquired for the credit of the Collateral Accounts in accordance with Section 4. Any losses or gains realized on such Investments shall be charged or credited to the Collateral Accounts, as appropriate. On committing to a transaction for the credit of the Collateral Accounts pursuant to an instruction permitted in accordance with Section 4, Securities Intermediary may, (i) pending settlement, block (A) the Investments to be sold or (B) credit balances sufficient to settle any acquisition and, (ii) at the time of settlement, deliver such Investments or funds in accordance with the rules, custom or practice of the particular market.
(e) Use of Intermediaries and Nominees. Securities Intermediary is authorized, subject to Secured Party's written instructions, to register any Financial Assets acquired by Securities Intermediary
8
pursuant to this Agreement in the name of Securities Intermediary or in the name of its nominee, or to cause such securities to be registered in the name of a Federal reserve bank, a recognized securities intermediary or clearing corporation, or a nominee of any of them. Securities Intermediary may at any time and from time to time appoint, and may at any time remove, any bank, trust company, clearing corporation, or Broker-Dealer as its agent to carry out such of the provisions of this Agreement. The appointment or use of any intermediary, or the appointment of any such agent, shall not relieve Securities Intermediary of any responsibility or liability under this Agreement.
(f) Corporate Actions. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the parties agree that neither Secured Party nor Securities Intermediary shall have any responsibility for ascertaining or acting upon any calls, conversions, exchange offers, tenders, interest rate changes or similar matters relating to any Financial Assets credited to or held for the credit of the Securities Account (except based on written instructions originated by Pledgor or Secured Party), or for informing Pledgor or Secured Party with respect thereto, whether or not Securities Intermediary or Secured Party has, or is deemed to have, knowledge of any of the aforesaid. Securities Intermediary is authorized to withdraw securities sold or otherwise disposed of, and to credit the appropriate Collateral Account with the proceeds thereof or make such other disposition thereof as may be directed in accordance with this Agreement. Securities Intermediary is further authorized to collect all income and other payments which may become due on Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts, to surrender for payment maturing obligations and those called for redemption and to exchange certificates in temporary form for like certificates in definitive form, or, if the par value of any shares is changed, to effect the exchange for new certificates. It is understood and agreed by Pledgor and Secured Party that, although Securities Intermediary will use reasonable efforts to effect the transactions set forth in the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary shall incur no liability for its failure to effect the same unless its failure is the result of wilful misconduct.
(g) Disclosure of Account Relationships.

(i) Direction of Secured Party Controls in Disputes. Pledgor, Securities Intermediary and Secured Party hereby agree that in the event any dispute arises with respect to the payment, ownership or right to possession of the Collateral Accounts or any other Collateral credited to or held therein, Securities Intermediary shall take such actions and shall refrain from taking such actions with respect thereto as may be directed by Secured Party.
(j) No Setoff, etc. Securities Intermediary shall not exercise on its own behalf any claim, right of set-off, banker's lien, clearing lien, counterclaim or similar right against any of the Collateral; provided that Securities Intermediary may deduct, from any credit balances, any usual and ordinary transaction and administration fees payable in connection with the administration and operation of the Collateral Accounts. Except for claims for deductions permitted in the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary agrees that any security interest it may have in the Collateral Accounts or any security entitlement carried therein shall be subordinate and junior to the interest of Secured Party.
9
(k) Only Agreement. This Agreement shall govern the actions, rights and obligations of Securities Intermediary, and shall determine the governing law, with respect to the Collateral Accounts and the Collateral notwithstanding any term or condition in any agreement other than this Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing.
(l) Care of Financial Assets. Securities Intermediary shall maintain possession or control of all Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts by segregating such Financial Assets from its proprietary assets and keeping them free of any lien, charge or claim of any third party granted or created by Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary shall take such other steps to ensure that Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts are identified as being held for customers of Securities Intermediary as may required under applicable law, including 17 CFR Part 450, or in accordance with custom and practice in the industry.
SECTION 8. Transactions in Collateral Accounts.
(a) Power of Secured Party to Sell or Transfer. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party may sell or cause the sale or redemption of any Investment and instruct Securities Intermediary to transfer the proceeds of such sale or any other credit or balance in any of Collateral Accounts to any of the Collateral Accounts or any third party or account, in either case (i) if such sale or redemption is necessary to permit Secured Party or the Disbursement Agent to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, or (ii) as provided in Section 14.
(b) Drawings Permitted from Certain Accounts. By Pledgor. Except during any Suspension Period, Pledgor may by Check (as defined in Section 3-104(2)(b) of the Code) or other means draw funds from the Operating Account, the Soft Costs Cash Management Account, the Hard Costs Cash Management Account and the Company's Payment Account for the purposes set forth in the Disbursement Agreement.

The pledge and assignment of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the
10
Payment of the Secured Obligations. Assuming compliance by Securities Intermediary with this Agreement, Secured Party will have a perfected security interest in the Collateral senior in priority to any other security interest created by Pledgor.
(b) Governmental Authorizations.

(a) Transfer or Sequestration of Collateral after Potential Event of Default or Event of Default. If any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to any Nevada Gaming Laws and the receipt of any required Nevada Gaming Approvals, Secured Party may instruct Securities Intermediary to (i) sell or redeem any Investments, (ii) transfer any or all of the Collateral constituting cash to the Deposit Accounts or transfer any or all of the Collateral to any account designated by Secured Party, including account or accounts established in Secured Party's name (whether at Secured Party or Securities Intermediary or otherwise), (iii) register title to any Collateral in any name specified by Secured Party, including the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees or agents, without reference to any interest of Pledgor, or (iv) otherwise deal with the Collateral as directed by Secured Party.

Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay 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. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

12
other time thereafter, applied in full or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in any order or priority as may be determined by the Secured Party.

Pledgor in any written or telex (tested or otherwise) instructions or (ii) whether any transfer to the Collateral Accounts is proper. Secured Party 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 Secured Party accords its own property of like kind. In addition to the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, Secured Party shall not be responsible for any actions or omissions of Securities Intermediary.
(ii) Indemnification. Pledgor agrees that its indemnity of Secured Party and each Bank Lender set forth in the Disbursement Agreement and the Bank Credit Agreement shall apply, subject to the terms thereof, to any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including enforcement of this Agreement).

SECTION 17. Resignation and Removal of Securities Intermediary.
(a) Removal. Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by written notice given by Secured Party to Securities Intermediary and Pledgor, but such removal shall not become effective until a successor Securities Intermediary shall have been appointed by Secured Party and shall have accepted such appointment in writing.
(b) Resignation. Securities Intermediary may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty days' written notice to Secured Party and Pledgor, but such removal shall not become effective until a successor Securities Intermediary shall have been appointed by Secured Party and shall have accepted such appointment in writing. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Securities Intermediary shall not have been delivered to the resigning Securities Intermediary within thirty days after the giving of any such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Intermediary may, at the expense of Pledgor, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary.
(c) Successor Securities Intermediary. Any successor Securities Intermediary shall be a corporation qualified to, and located in, New York, which (A) is subject to supervision or examination by the applicable Governmental Authority, (B) has a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000), (C) has a long-term credit rating of not less than "A-"or "A3", respectively, by any Rating Agency; and provided, that any such bank with a long-term credit rating of "A-"or "A3 "shall not cease to be eligible to act as Securities Intermediary upon a downward change in either such rating of no more than one category or grade of such minimum rating, as the case may be.
(d) Process of Succession. Upon the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary and its acceptance of such appointment, the resigning or removed Securities Intermediary shall transfer all items of Collateral held by it to such successor (which items of Collateral shall be transferred to appropriate new Collateral Accounts established and maintained by such successor). Following such appointment all references herein to Securities Intermediary shall be deemed a reference to such
14
successor; provided that the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof shall continue to inure to the benefit of the resigning or removed Securities Intermediary with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Securities Intermediary hereunder.
SECTION 18. Continuing Security Interest; Termination of Obligations of Securities Intermediary. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the commitments under the Bank Credit Agreement and the cancellation or expiration of all letters of credit outstanding thereunder, (b) be binding upon Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and the Bank Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the commitments under the Bank Credit Agreement and the cancellation or expiration of all letters of credit outstanding thereunder, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination Secured Party shall, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents, instruments of transfer, certificates, termination statements and the like as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, against receipt and without recourse to Secured Party, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. Securities Intermediary shall not be released from its obligations hereunder, and shall continue to maintain any Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, until notified in writing by Secured Party that this Agreement has terminated and so long as Secured Party has not withdrawn such notification.
SECTION 19. Secured Party as Bank Agent.
(a) Agency. Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by the Bank Lenders pursuant to the Bank Credit Agreement. Secured Party 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, the Disbursement Agreement and the Bank Credit Agreement.
(b) Identity of Agent. Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is the Bank Agent under the Bank Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignations by the Bank Agent pursuant to subsection 9.9 of the Bank Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement and substitution of a successor bank agent pursuant to subsection 9.9 of the Bank Credit Agreement shall also constitute substitution of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Bank Agent under subsection 9.9 of the Bank Credit Agreement by a successor Bank Agent, that successor Bank Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured Party all items of Collateral held by Secured Party (which as appropriate shall be credited to, and held for the credit of, any new Collateral Accounts established and maintained by such successor Secured Party), together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Bank Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, 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 Secured Party hereunder.
15
SECTION 20. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the other parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
SECTION 21. Notices. Any communications between the parties hereto or notices provided herein to be given may be given to the address of the party as set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof.

Notice so given shall be effective upon receipt by the addressee, except that communication or notice so transmitted by telecopy or other direct written electronic means shall be deemed to have been validly and effectively given on the day (if a Banking Day and, if not, on the next following Banking Day) on which it is validly transmitted if transmitted before 4 p.m., recipient's time, and if transmitted after that time, on the next following Banking Day; provided, however, that if any notice is tendered to an addressee and the delivery thereof is refused by such addressee, such notice shall be effective upon such tender.

SECTION 22. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder 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 any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 23. Severability. 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.
SECTION 24. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
SECTION 25. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. Securities Intermediary's/banks jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the Code) shall be the State of New York and to the extent that notwithstanding the intention of the parties, any of the Collateral Accounts are Securities Accounts, the bank's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the Code) shall be the State of New York.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Secured Party to bring proceedings against Pledgor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 27. Waiver of Jury Trial. PLEDGOR, SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Pledgor and Secured Party each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for Pledgor and Secured Party to enter into a business relationship, that Pledgor and Secured Party have already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Pledgor and Secured Party further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.

SECTION 6.
Acknowledgement of Security Interest in Favor of Secured Party; Covenant Against Creation of other Interests.
(a) Acknowledgement of Security Interest. Securities Intermediary acknowledges the security interest granted by Pledgor in favor of Secured Party in the Collateral.
(b) Acknowledgement of Securities Intermediary's Role. Securities Intermediary hereby further acknowledges that it holds the Collateral Account, and all Security Entitlements therein, as securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the Code) and custodian for, for the benefit of, and subject to the control of, Secured Party. Securities Intermediary shall, by book entry or otherwise, indicate that the Collateral Account, and all Security Entitlements registered to or held therein, are subject to the control of Secured Party as provided in Section 4(f).
(c) Securities Intermediary Has No Notice of Adverse Claims. Securities Intermediary represents and warrants that (i) it has no notice of any adverse claim against any of the Collateral other than the claim of Secured Party under this Agreement; and (ii) it is not, in its capacity as securities intermediary, party to any agreement other than this Agreement that governs its rights or duties, or limits or conflicts with the rights of Secured Party, including the exclusive right of Secured Party to control as provided in Section 4(f), with respect to the Collateral Account.
(d) Securities Intermediary Shall Not Acknowledge Other Claims. Securities Intermediary agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 6(c) above or elsewhere in this Agreement or with the written consent of Secured Party, it shall not agree to or acknowledge (i) any right by any Person other than Secured Party to originate Entitlement Orders or control with respect to the Collateral Account; or (ii) any limitation on the right of Secured Party to originate Entitlement Orders with respect to or direct the transfer of any Investments or cash credited to the Collateral Account.
SECTION 7.
Securities Intermediary Maintenance of the Collateral Account.
(a) Transactions Shall Comply With Rules. The parties acknowledge that all transactions in Financial Assets under this Agreement shall be in accordance with the rules and customs of the exchange, market or clearing organization, if any, in which the transactions are executed or settled and in conformity with applicable law and regulations of governmental authorities and future amendments or supplements thereto.
(b) Fees and Charges of Securities Intermediary. Pledgor shall pay to Securities Intermediary, in accordance with Securities Intermediary's usual schedule of charges or any written agreement between
Securities Intermediary and Pledgor, any fees or charges reasonably imposed by Securities Intermediary with respect to, the establishment, maintenance and transactions in or affecting the Collateral Account.
(c) Securities Intermediary Shall Not Permit Leverage of Investments. Securities Intermediary shall not execute any transaction to acquire a Financial Asset under Section 4(b) unless (A) there are sufficient funds in the Collateral Account to settle such transactions or (B) it is reasonably anticipated that such funds will be generated through the liquidation of Financial Assets in the Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that Securities Intermediary executes a transaction without adequate funds to settle the transaction, then unless the Securities Intermediary acted willfully or in a grossly negligent manner, Pledgor shall be liable to Securities Intermediary for any deficiency and shall promptly reimburse Securities Intermediary for any loss or expense incurred thereby, including losses sustained by reason of Securities Intermediary's inability to borrow any securities or other property sold for the Collateral Account. Pledgor agrees to pay interest charges which may be imposed by Securities Intermediary in accordance with its usual custom, with respect to late payments for Financial Assets purchased for the Collateral Account and prepayments to the Collateral Account (i.e., the crediting of the proceeds of sale before the settlement date or receipt by Securities Intermediary of the items sold in good deliverable form). Pledgor agrees to pay promptly any amount which may become due in order to satisfy demands for additional margin or marks to market with respect to any security purchased or sold on instruction from Pledgor.
(d) Risk of Investments and Transactions. It is not the intention of the parties that Securities Intermediary should bear any investment risk associated with Permitted Investments or Overnight Investments acquired for the credit of the Collateral Account in accordance with Section 4. Any losses or gains realized on such Investments shall be charged or credited to the Collateral Account, as appropriate. On committing to a transaction for the credit of the Collateral Account pursuant to an instruction permitted in accordance with Section 4, Securities Intermediary may, (i) pending settlement, block (A) the Investments to be sold or (B) credit balances sufficient to settle any acquisition and, (ii) at the time of settlement, deliver such Investments or funds in accordance with the rules, custom or practice of the particular market.
(e) Use of Intermediaries and Nominees. Securities Intermediary is authorized, subject to Secured Party's written instructions, to register any Financial Assets acquired by Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement in the name of Securities Intermediary or in the name of its nominee, or to cause such securities to be registered in the name of a Federal reserve bank, a recognized securities intermediary or clearing corporation, or a nominee of any of them. Securities Intermediary may at any time and from time to time appoint, and may at any time remove, any bank, trust company, clearing corporation, or Broker-Dealer as its agent to carry out such of the provisions of this Agreement. The appointment or use of any intermediary, or the appointment of any such agent, shall not relieve Securities Intermediary of any responsibility or liability under this Agreement.
(f) Corporate Actions. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the parties agree that neither Secured Party nor Securities Intermediary shall have any responsibility for ascertaining or acting upon any calls, conversions, exchange offers, tenders, interest rate changes or similar matters relating to any Financial Assets credited to or held for the credit of the Deposit Account (except based on written instructions originated by Pledgor or Secured Party), or for informing Pledgor or Secured Party with respect thereto, whether or not Securities Intermediary or Secured Party has, or is deemed to have, knowledge of any of the aforesaid. Securities Intermediary is authorized to withdraw securities sold or otherwise disposed of, and to credit the Collateral Account with the proceeds thereof or make such other disposition thereof as may be directed in accordance with this Agreement. Securities Intermediary is further authorized to collect all income and other payments which may become due on Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Account, to surrender for payment maturing obligations and those called for redemption and to exchange certificates in temporary form for like certificates in definitive form, or, if the par value of any shares is changed, to effect the exchange for new certificates. It is understood and agreed by Pledgor and Secured Party that, although Securities Intermediary will use reasonable efforts to effect the transactions set forth in the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary
shall incur no liability for its failure to effect the same unless its failure is the result of wilful misconduct.
(g) Disclosure of Account Relationships. Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledge that Securities Intermediary may be required to disclose to securities issuers the name, address and securities positions with respect to Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Account, and hereby consent to such disclosures.
(h) Forwarding of Documents. Securities Intermediary shall forward to Pledgor and Secured Party, or notify Pledgor and Secured Party by telephone of, all communications received by Securities Intermediary as owner of any Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Account and which are intended to be transmitted to the beneficial owner thereof.
(i) Direction of Secured Party Controls in Disputes. Pledgor, Securities Intermediary and Secured Party hereby agree that in the event any dispute arises with respect to the payment, ownership or right to possession of the Collateral Account or any other Collateral credited to or held therein, Securities Intermediary shall take such actions and shall refrain from taking such actions with respect thereto as may be directed by Secured Party.
(j) No Setoff, etc. Securities Intermediary shall not exercise on its own behalf any claim, right of set-off, banker's lien, clearing lien, counterclaim or similar right against any of the Collateral; provided that Securities Intermediary may deduct, from any credit balances, any usual and ordinary transaction and administration fees payable in connection with the administration and operation of the Collateral Account. Except for claims for deductions permitted in the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary agrees that any security interest it may have in the Collateral Account or any security entitlement carried therein shall be subordinate and junior to the interest of Secured Party.
(k) Only Agreement. This Agreement shall govern the actions, rights and obligations of Securities Intermediary, and shall determine the governing law, with respect to the Collateral Account and the Collateral notwithstanding any term or condition in any agreement other than this Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing.
(l) Care of Financial Assets. Securities Intermediary shall maintain possession or control of all Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Account by segregating such Financial Assets from its proprietary assets and keeping them free of any lien, charge or claim of any third party granted or created by Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary shall take such other steps to ensure that Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Account are identified as being held for customers of Securities Intermediary as may required under applicable law, including 17 CFR Part 450, or in accordance with custom and practice in the industry.
SECTION 8.
Transactions in Collateral Account.
(a) Power of Secured Party to Sell or Transfer. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party may sell or cause the sale or redemption of any Investment and instruct Securities Intermediary to transfer the proceeds of such sale or any other credit or balance in the Collateral Account to any third party or account, in either case (i) if such sale or redemption is necessary to permit Secured Party or the Disbursement Agent to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, or (ii) as provided in Section 14.
(b) Drawings Permitted from Certain Accounts By Pledgor. Except during any Suspension Period, Pledgor may by Check (as defined in Section 3-104(2)(b) of the Code) or other means draw funds from the Company's FF&E Payment Account for the purposes set forth in the Disbursement Agreement. During any Suspension Period, the Company's FF&E Payment Account shall be blocked, and Pledgor shall have no right to draw any amounts therefrom or cause any Financial Assets to be transferred out of the Collateral Account.

The pledge and assignment of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the Payment of the Secured Obligations. Assuming compliance by Securities Intermediary with this Agreement, Secured Party will have a perfected security interest in the Collateral senior in priority to any other security interest created by Pledgor.
(b) Governmental Authorizations. Subject to any Nevada Gaming Commission Approval, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for either (i) the grant by Pledgor of the security interest granted hereby, (ii) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (iii) the perfection of or, subject to any Nevada Gaming Commission approvals, the exercise by Secured Party or Securities Intermediary of its rights and remedies hereunder (except as may have been taken by or at the direction of Pledgor).

Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay 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. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

(c) Agreement as to Manner of Sale. Pledgor hereby agrees that the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on recognized markets and, accordingly, that no notice to any Person is required before any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that, without prejudice to the foregoing, Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of any such sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to Pledgor 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.

If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Securities Intermediary shall not have been delivered to the resigning Securities Intermediary within thirty days after the giving of any such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Intermediary may, at the expense of Pledgor, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary.
(c) Successor Securities Intermediary. Any successor Securities Intermediary shall be a corporation qualified to do business in, and located in, New York, which (A) is subject to supervision or examination by the applicable Governmental Authority, (B) has a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000), (C) has a long-term credit rating of not less than "A-"or "A3", respectively, by any Rating Agency; and provided, that any such bank with a long-term credit rating of "A-"or "A3 "shall not cease to be eligible to act as Securities Intermediary upon a downward change in either such rating of no more than one category or grade of such minimum rating, as the case may be.
(d) Process of Succession. Upon the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary and its acceptance of such appointment, the resigning or removed Securities Intermediary shall transfer all items of Collateral held by it to such successor (which items of Collateral shall be transferred to an appropriate new Collateral Account established and maintained by such successor). Following such appointment all references herein to Securities Intermediary shall be deemed a reference to such successor; provided that the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof shall continue to inure to the benefit of the resigning or removed Securities Intermediary with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Securities Intermediary hereunder.
SECTION 18.
Continuing Security Interest; Termination of Obligations of Securities Intermediary. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations and (b) be binding upon Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and the FF&E Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the commitments under the Loan Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination Secured Party shall, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents,
instruments of transfer, certificates, termination statements and the like as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, against receipt and without recourse to Secured Party, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. Securities Intermediary shall not be released from its obligations hereunder, and shall continue to maintain any Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, until notified in writing by Secured Party that this Agreement has terminated and so long as Secured Party has not withdrawn such notification.
SECTION 19.
Secured Party as Collateral Agent.
(a) Agency. Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by the FF&E Lenders pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Secured Party 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, the Disbursement Agreement and the Loan Agreement.
(b) Identity of Agent. Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is the Collateral Agent under the Loan Agreement. Written notice of resignations by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11.9 of the Loan Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement and substitution of a successor collateral agent pursuant to Section 11.9 of the Loan Agreement shall also constitute substitution of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent under Section 11.9 of the Loan Agreement 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 Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured Party all items of Collateral held by Secured Party (which as appropriate shall be credited to, and held for the credit of, the new Collateral Account established and maintained by such successor Secured Party), together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, 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 Secured Party hereunder.
SECTION 20.
Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the other parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
SECTION 21.
Notices. Any communications between the parties hereto or notices provided herein to be given may be given to the address of the party as set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by a reputable overnight delivery service, (c) in the event overnight delivery services are not readily available, if mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested or (d) if sent by prepaid telex, or by telecopy with correct answer back received. Notice so given shall be effective upon
receipt by the addressee, except that communication or notice so transmitted by telecopy or other direct written electronic means shall be deemed to have been validly and effectively given on the day (if a Business Day and, if not, on the next following Business Day) on which it is validly transmitted if transmitted before 4 p.m., recipient's time, and if transmitted after that time, on the next following Business Day; provided, however, that if any notice is tendered to an addressee and the delivery thereof is refused by such addressee, such notice shall be effective upon such tender. Any party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location by giving of no less than twenty (20) days' notice to the other parties in the manner set forth hereinabove.
SECTION 22.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder 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 any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 23.
Severability. 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.
SECTION 24.
Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
SECTION 25.
Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the Code) shall be the State of New York and to the extent that notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the Collateral Account is a deposit account, the bank's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the Code) shall be the State of New York.
SECTION 26.
Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST PLEDGOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT PLEDGOR ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. Pledgor hereby agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to Pledgor at its address provided in Section 21, such service being hereby acknowledged by Pledgor to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against Pledgor in any such court and to be otherwise effective and binding service in every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right of Secured Party to bring proceedings against Pledgor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 27.
Waiver of Jury Trial. PLEDGOR, SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. Pledgor and Secured Party each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for Pledgor and Secured Party to enter into a business relationship, that Pledgor and Secured Party have already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Pledgor and Secured Party further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
SECTION 28.
Counterparts. 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.
SECTION 29.
Secured Party's Representative. The Secured Party hereby authorizes the entity from time to time acting as the Disbursement Agent under the Disbursement Agreement to, from time to time, act on its behalf hereunder. Until the Secured Party notifies Securities Intermediary and Pledgor to the contrary, any such Disbursement Agent shall be a "representative" (as defined in Section 1-201(35) of the Code) of the Secured Party and, as such, any Entitlement Orders or other instructions or actions issued or taken by such Disbursement Agent hereunder shall be as effective as if issued or taken directly by the Secured Party.
