Such Debtor will not misuse the Collateral, or allow it to deteriorate except for the ordinary wear and tear of its normal and expected use in such Debtor’s business in accordance with such Debtor’s policies as then in effect (provided that no changes are made to such Debtor’s policies as in effect on the date hereof that would be materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties), and will comply in all material respects with all laws, statutes and regulations pertaining to the use or ownership of the Collateral. Such Debtor will promptly notify the Administrative Agent regarding any material loss or damage to any material Collateral or portion thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions exclude normal wear and tear to the Collateral, items that such Debtor reasonably believes are no longer necessary to the successful operation of its business and the disposition of obsolete items. Such Debtor will not use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation of any provision of this Agreement or any applicable statute, regulation or ordinance or any policy of insurance covering the Collateral. Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit such Debtor from taking any action or refraining from taking any action permitted by the Construction Loan Agreement.
5.6 Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, such Debtor will promptly deliver to such Person records and schedules that show the status, condition and location of the Collateral, including accounts receivable aging reports and other reports reasonably requested by such Person, all in reasonable detail; and will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any event, or change of law, regulation, business practice, or business condition that may materially adversely affect the value of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to review and verify such records, schedules, financial information and notices, and such Debtor will reimburse each such Person for all costs incurred thereby. Such review and verification shall include the right of the Administrative Agent to contact account debtors to confirm balances owing on and the terms of Receivables, provided that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
5.7 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.7, such Debtor shall continue to collect at its own expense, all amounts due or to be become due to such Debtor under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, such Debtor may take (and, at the
14
Administrative Agent’s direction when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall take) such action as such Debtor or the Administrative Agent after consultation with such Debtor reasonably deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables; provided, however, that such Debtor shall not adjust, settle, sell with recourse, sell for less than face value or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon, other than adjustments, settlements, or discounts that are in accordance with such Debtor’s policies as then in effect; provided that no changes are made to such Debtor’s policies as in effect on the date hereof that would be materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to notify the account debtors or obligors under any of the Receivables of the assignment of such Receivables to the Secured Parties and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Debtor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or to such Secured Parties as Administrative Agent may direct in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Debtor, to enforce collection of any such Receivables, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such Debtor in respect of the Receivables shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder and, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent or to such Secured Parties as Administrative Agent may direct in the same form as so received (with all necessary or appropriate endorsements) to be held as cash collateral and applied as provided by Section 8, and (ii) such Debtor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
5.8 Such Debtor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims against, the Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith; provided that such Debtor shall in any event pay such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims not later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale under any judgment, writ or warrant of attachment entered or filed against such Debtor or any of the Collateral as a result of the failure to make such payment.
5.9 Each Debtor hereby agrees to give notice to the Administrative Agent by delivering a supplement to Item G of Annex 1, upon acquiring any commercial tort claim it reasonably believes to be in excess of $2,000,000 and agrees to take any actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to perfect a security interest therein.
5.10 Each Debtor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each issuer of a letter of credit in an amount in excess of $1,000,000 under which such Debtor has letter of credit rights to consent to an assignment of the proceeds of such letter of credit to the Administrative Agent.

Each Debtor agrees to notify the Administrative Agent three (3) months prior to the date on which the affidavits of use or the applications for renewal registration are due with respect to any material registered Xxxx.
(C) If any material Xxxx registration certificate is issued hereafter to a Debtor as a result of any application now or hereafter pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such certificate confirming such registration such Debtor shall deliver a copy of such certificate, and a grant of security in such Xxxx on behalf of the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent, confirming the grant thereof hereunder together with all cover sheets or other documents or instruments required to be filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to create or perfect a lien in respect of such Xxxx.
(D) Each Debtor agrees, promptly upon learning thereof, to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the name and address of, and to furnish such pertinent information that may be available with respect to, any party who such Debtor believes is infringing or otherwise violating any of such Debtor’s rights to any material Xxxx, or with respect to any party claiming that such Debtor’s use of any such Xxxx violates in any material respect any property right of that party.

Each Debtor shall do all acts and things reasonably necessary to maintain the Copyrights and Patents listed in Annex 3 and Annex 4, respectively, and all Patents and Copyrights hereafter obtained or acquired by such Debtor, including, without limitation, making timely payment of all post-issuance fees required pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 41 to maintain in force rights under each Patent.
(B) Within thirty (30) days of acquisition of a Patent or Copyright, or of filing of an application for a Patent or Copyright by a Debtor, such Debtor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of said Patent or Copyright or such application, as the case may be, with a grant of security as to such Patent or Copyright, as the case may be, confirming the grant thereof hereunder together with all cover sheets or other documents or instruments required to be filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to create or perfect a lien in respect of such Patent or Copyright.

Each Debtor further agrees, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, diligently to prosecute any Person infringing any material Patent or material Copyright.
5.13 Accounts.

From and after sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, Debtors will provide a list of such accounts and copies of such control agreements to the Administrative Agent and take such further actions and execute such further documents in
17
connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of Secured Parties in such accounts.
5.14 Future Material Contracts. If any Debtor enters into any Material Contract related to the construction of the Phase II Mall after the date hereof, such Debtor shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed counterpart or certified copy of such Material Contract and (ii) shall cause the counterparty to such additional Material Contract to enter into a Consent to such assignment, such Consent to be in substantially the form of Exhibit J to the Construction Loan Agreement (subject to any changes thereto requested by such party and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
6. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
6.1 Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (a) require Debtors to, and Debtors hereby agree that they will at their expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make the same available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (b) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (c) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Administrative Agent deems appropriate, (d) take possession of Debtors’ premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Debtors’ equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (c) and collecting any Obligation, and (e) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Debtors, and Debtors hereby waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which they now have or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Debtors agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Debtors of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale (as the Administrative Agent may
18
elect), which sale may be conducted by an employee or representative of the Administrative Agent, from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Debtors, in dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular order. Each successor and assign of Debtors, including a holder of a lien subordinate to the lien created hereby (without implying that any Debtor has, except as expressly provided in the Construction Loan Agreement, a right to grant an interest in, or a subordinate lien on, any of the Collateral), by acceptance of its interest or lien agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, to the same extent as if such holder gave the waiver itself. Debtors also hereby waive, to the full extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the benefit of all laws providing for rights of appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption after foreclosure now or hereafter in force. Debtors hereby waive all claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the Administrative Agent sells any Collateral upon credit, Debtors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Administrative Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Debtors shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. In the event the Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by applicable Legal Requirements or this Agreement or the Construction Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations, Debtors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Upon written demand from the Administrative Agent, each Debtor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of the Patents, Copyrights, and Marks and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Each Debtor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Administrative Agent receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Collateral.
7. Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.
7.1 No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both. If the Administrative Agent may, under applicable Legal Requirements, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document giving the
19
Administrative Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by Debtors or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
7.2 No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Administrative Agent.
8. Application of Proceeds.
All proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied to repay the Obligations as provided in the Construction Loan Agreement.
9. Attorney-In-Fact.
Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, each Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties and each successor and assign of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Debtor, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, subject to the terms of the Construction Loan Agreement, this Agreement and applicable Legal Requirements, to enforce all rights, interests and remedies of such Debtor with respect to the Collateral from time to time upon and following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by Debtors or paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement;
(b) 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) to elect remedies thereunder and to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
20
(e) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) 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 Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become obligations of Debtor to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;
(f) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and
(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, 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 Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and Debtors’ expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Debtor might do.
10. The Administrative Agent May Perform.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if Debtor fails to perform any agreement contained herein within the applicable period (if any) provided for performance, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations of the relevant Secured Parties.
11. Perfection; Further Assurances.
11.1 Each Debtor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Debtor, such Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted, ensure the continued perfection of, purported or intended to be granted hereby in favor of the Secured Parties or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall (i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument in excess of $50,000, deliver and pledge to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties granted a security interest in such Collateral such note or instrument duly endorsed without recourse, and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable or as such Secured Parties may reasonably request or, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted, purported or intended to be granted hereby in favor of the relevant Secured Parties and (iii) at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
21
request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect Debtor’s title to or the Administrative Agent’s or any of the Secured Parties security interest in all or any part of the Collateral. If any Debtor shall at any time acquire a material commercial tort claim, as defined in the UCC, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such Debtor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
11.2 Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral in which such Secured Party has been granted a security interest.
11.3 Each Debtor shall pay all filing, registration and recording fees and all refiling, re-registration and re-recording fees, and all reasonable expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes (other than income taxes), duties, imports, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement supplemental hereto, any financing statements, and any instruments of further assurance.
11.4 Each Debtor shall, promptly upon request, provide to the Administrative Agent, all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
12. Place of Business; Location of Records.
Unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise notified under Section 5.4, the place of business and chief executive office of each Debtor is, and all records of such Debtor concerning the Collateral are and will be, located at the address of such Debtor set forth on the signature pages to this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the terms of the Construction Loan Agreement, the Secured Parties may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of or interest in the Construction Loan Agreement or other evidence of indebtedness held by them to any other Person to the extent permitted by the Construction Loan Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by any Secured Party or
22
the Administrative Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any person on the Obligations secured hereby. If this Agreement shall be terminated or revoked by operation of law, each Debtor will indemnify and save the Secured Parties harmless from any loss which may be suffered or incurred by the Secured Parties in acting hereunder prior to the receipt by the Administrative Agent, its successors, transfers, or assigns of notice of such termination or revocation. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Construction Loan Agreement, one or more additional or successor Administrative Agents, or other agents or representatives of the Administrative Agent or other secured Parties may be appointed, by written notice to each Debtor, and such person or persons shall be entitled to exercise or perform all or a portion of the duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder in accordance with the terms of such appointment.
14. Termination and Release of Security Interest.
14.1 On the Termination Date, the security interest granted under Section 2.1 in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall terminate. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at Debtors’ expense, execute and deliver to Debtors such documents (including, without limitation, UCC-3 termination statements which, upon such delivery, Debtors shall be authorized to file in the appropriate filing offices) as Debtors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
14.2 In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement or is otherwise released in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, such Collateral will be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and released free and clear of the Liens created by this Agreement and the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the relevant Debtor, will duly and promptly assign, transfer, deliver and release to the applicable Debtor or its designee (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of or released. In connection with any disposition or release pursuant to this Section 14.2, the Administrative Agent shall, at Debtors’ expense, execute and deliver to Debtors such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements which, upon such delivery, Debtors shall be authorized to file in the appropriate filing offices) as Debtors may reasonably request.
