The Credit Facility shall be for a term commencing on the Closing Date and terminating on the Maturity Date, on which date the entire outstanding balance of the Credit Facility shall be fully paid and Credit Facility Termination shall occur.
c. Borrower may voluntarily permanently reduce the Maximum Permitted Balance from time to time (a "Voluntary Permanent Reduction") on the following conditions:
(i) that each such Voluntary Permanent Reduction be in the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and in increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and is
15
made in writing by an Authorized Officer, effective on the fifth (5th) Banking Business Day following receipt by Lender;
(ii) that each such Voluntary Permanent Reduction shall be irrevocable and a permanent reduction to the Maximum Permitted Balance; and
(iii) in the event any Voluntary Permanent Reduction reduces the Maximum Permitted Balance to less than the sum of the Funded Outstandings, the Borrower shall immediately cause the Funded Outstandings to be reduced by such amount as may be necessary to cause the Funded Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Maximum Permitted Balance.

Not later than 11:00 o'clock a.m. on the Funding Date specified, Lender shall disburse the amount of such Borrowing into the Designated Deposit Account maintained with Lender. No Borrowing may exceed the Available Borrowings.
Section 2.04. Conditions of Borrowings. Borrowings will only be made so long as Borrower is in full compliance with each of the requirements and conditions precedent set forth in Article III B of this Credit Agreement. Provided, however, Lender may advance Borrowings notwithstanding the existence of less than full compliance with the requirements of Article III B and Borrowings so made shall be deemed to have been made under the Credit Facility.
Section 2.05. The Revolving Credit Note and Interest Rate Option.
a. The Credit Facility shall be further evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of Lender. Lender shall record the date and amount of each Borrowing and the amount of each repayment of principal made thereunder by Borrower and the entry of such records shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, the failure to make such a record or notation with respect to any Borrowing or repayment thereof, or an error in making such a record or notation, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Note.
b. Interest shall accrue on the entire amount of the Funded Outstandings at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate unless, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period, but in no event more often than every thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, Borrower elects pursuant to Section 2.05(c) hereinbelow to have interest accrue on the Funded Outstandings at the LIBOR Rate, in which case interest shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to such LIBOR Rate. Interest shall be due and payable on the fifth day of the month following the Closing Date, on the fifth day of each successive month thereafter, and on the Maturity Date.
c. At any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, Borrower may Convert from the Base Rate
16
to the LIBOR Rate and from the LIBOR Rate to the Base Rate by giving irrevocable notice to Lender of such Conversion by 10:00 A.M., Reno, Nevada Time, on a day which is at least two (2) Banking Business Days prior to the proposed date of such Conversion. In no event shall Borrower make more than one Conversion during each thirty (30) consecutive calendar days. Each such notice shall be made by an Authorized Officer by telephone or telex and thereafter immediately confirmed in writing by delivery to Lender of a Conversion Notice specifying the date of such Conversion. Upon receipt of such Conversion Notice, Lender shall promptly set the applicable interest rate and shall confirm the same in writing to Borrower. Each Conversion shall be on a Banking Business Day.

f. If with respect to any Conversion to the LIBOR Rate, (a) the Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the inter-bank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate, or (b) the LIBOR Rate as determined by Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining the amount of the Funded Outstandings, then so long as such circumstances shall continue: (i) Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof, (ii) Lender shall not be under any obligation to reference the LIBOR Rate or Convert the Base Rate to the LIBOR Rate, and (iii) the amount of the Funded Outstandings shall immediately and automatically bear interest with reference to the Base Rate.
g. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Revolving Credit Note or this Credit Agreement, if, after the Closing Date, any law, rule, regulation, treaty, interpretation or directive (whether having the force of law or not) or any change therein shall make it unlawful for Lender to reference the LIBOR Rate, (i) the commitment and agreement to reference the LIBOR Rate shall immediately be suspended, and (ii) the rate of interest shall immediately Convert to the Base Rate. If it shall become lawful for Lender to again reference the LIBOR Rate, then Borrower may once again request Conversions to the LIBOR Rate.
Section 2.06. Place and Manner of Payment.
a. All amounts payable by Borrower to the Lender shall be made to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note and shall be made on a Banking Business Day in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.

The Nonusage Fee will be payable on the last Banking Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter commencing with the Fiscal Quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, and on the Maturity Date.

or maintaining the accrual of interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate, or to reduce the rate of return on capital of Lender or the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under the Revolving Credit Note, then within ten (10) days after demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost (or in the case of Regulation D or reserve requirements or capital adequacy referred to above or a successor thereto, such costs which may be imposed upon Lender) or such reduction of the rate of return on capital or of any sum received or receivable under the Revolving Credit Note.

Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without their consent, but if settled with Borrower's consent, or if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any such action, Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In the event that any Person is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have been entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.14, it shall repay all amounts with respect to which it has been so adjudged. If and to the extent that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 5.14 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations that is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this Section 5.14 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Credit Facility.
Section 5.15. Suits or Actions Affecting Borrower. Until Credit Facility Termination, Borrower shall promptly advise Lender in writing within ten (10) days of Borrower's knowledge of (a) any Significant Litigation claims, litigation, proceedings or disputes (whether or not purportedly on behalf
30
of any member of the Xxxxxx Consolidation) against, or to the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened or affecting any member of the Xxxxxx Consolidation which could reasonably be expected to result in an award of monetary damages in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), or (b) any proposal by any Governmental Authority to acquire any of the material assets or business of any member of the Xxxxxx Consolidation.
Section 5.16. Execution of Additional Subsidiary Guarantys. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing on or before ten (10) days following the creation of each additional direct or indirect Subsidiary. Borrower shall further cause each such additional Subsidiary to execute a Subsidiary Guaranty in favor of Lender and to deliver the original thereof to Lender promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the creation of such additional Subsidiary.
Section 5.17. Maintenance of Designated Deposit Account. Until Credit Facility Termination, Borrower shall maintain the Designated Deposit Account at the principal office of Lender to facilitate the operational process of the Credit Facility.
Section 5.18. Notice to State Gaming Control Board.

a. The Lender may terminate its obligation to make any advances for Borrowings and may declare all outstanding unpaid Indebtedness hereunder and under the Revolving Credit Note and other Loan Documents together with all accrued interest thereon immediately due and payable without presentation, demand, protest or notice of any kind. This remedy will be deemed to have been automatically exercised on the occurrence of any event set out in Sections 7.01(f), (g) or (h) with respect to Borrower or the Collateral Guarantor.
b. The Lender may exercise any and all remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents.
c. The Lender may exercise any other remedies available to Lender at law or in equity, including requesting the appointment of a receiver to perform any acts required of Borrower under this Credit Agreement, and Borrower hereby specifically consents to any such request by Lender.
For the purpose of carrying out this section and exercising these rights, powers and privileges, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this paragraph in the name and on behalf of Borrower. Lender may exercise one or more of Lender's remedies simultaneously and all its remedies are nonexclusive and cumulative. Lender shall not be required to pursue or exhaust any Collateral or remedy before pursuing any other Collateral or
33
remedy. Lender's failure to exercise any remedy for a particular default shall not be deemed a waiver of (i) such remedy, nor its rights to exercise any other remedy for that default, nor (ii) its right to exercise that remedy for any subsequent default.
Section 7.03. Application of Proceeds. All payments and proceeds received and all amounts held or realized from the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, which are to be applied hereunder towards satisfaction of Borrower's obligations under this Credit Agreement, shall be applied in the following order of priority:
a. First, to the payment of all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by Lender, its agents or representatives in connection with the realization upon any of the Collateral;
b. Next, to the payment in full of any other amounts due under this Credit Agreement any other Loan Documents (other than the Revolving Credit Note);
c. Next, to the balance of interest remaining unpaid on the Credit Facility;
d. Next, to the balance of principal remaining unpaid on the Credit Facility;
e. Next, to the payment of any other amounts owing to Lender which is necessary to cause Credit Facility Termination; and
f. Next, the balance, if any, of such payments, proceeds, or amounts to whomever may be entitled thereto.
Section 7.04. Notices. In order to entitle Lender to exercise any remedy available hereunder, it shall not be necessary for Lender to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required expressly herein.
Section 7.05. Agreement to Pay Attorney's Fees and Expenses. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as a result of which Lender shall require and employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of payments due or to become due or the enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of Borrower contained herein, Borrower shall, on demand, pay to Lender the actual and reasonable fees of such attorneys (including actual and reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel) and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by Lender.
Section 7.06. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this Credit Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Section 7.07. Licensing of Lender. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and it shall become necessary, or in the opinion of Lender advisable, for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of Lender to become licensed under the provisions of the laws of the State of Nevada, or rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Security Documentation or other Loan Documents for the benefit of Lender or otherwise to enforce its rights hereunder or thereunder, Borrower does hereby give its consent to the granting of such license or licenses and agrees to execute such further documents as may be required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.
Section 7.08. Exercise of Rights Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article VII may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of the laws of any Governmental Authority and all of the provisions of this Article VII are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Credit Agreement
34
invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
Section 7.09. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, the Security Documentation or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then and in every such case Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall continue as if such proceedings had not been taken, subject to any binding rule by the applicable court or other tribunal in any such proceeding.
ARTICLE VIII
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION
Section 8.01. No Abatement of Payments. If all or any part of the Collateral shall be materially damaged or destroyed, or if title to or the temporary use of the whole or any part of any of the Collateral shall be taken or condemned by a competent authority for any public use or purpose, or by exercise of the power of eminent domain, there shall be no abatement or reduction in the amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Note, and Borrower shall continue to be obligated to make such payments.
Section 8.02. Distribution of Capital Proceeds Upon Occurrence of Fire, Other Perils or Condemnation. All monies received from "All Risk" including flood and earthquake insurance policies covering any of the Collateral or from condemnation or similar actions in regard to said Collateral, shall be paid directly to Lender. However, in the event the amount paid to Lender is equal to or less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), such amount shall be paid directly to Borrower unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. In the event the amount paid to Lender is greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), then, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is then continuing, the entire amount so collected or so much thereof as may be required to repair or replace the destroyed or condemned property, shall, subject to the conditions set forth below, be released to Borrower for repair or replacement of the property destroyed or condemned or to reimburse Borrower for the costs of such repair or replacement incurred prior to the date of such release. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is then continuing such amount may, at the option of Lender, be applied to pay the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility. In the event the amount so collected is applied to pay or reduce the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility, the amount received by Lender shall be applied in the priority set forth in Section 7.03 and, if such application is made when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, then Borrower shall not be entitled to any further Borrowings.
ARTICLE IX
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following terms and conditions shall be applicable throughout the term of this Credit Agreement:
Section 9.01. Failure to Exercise Rights. Nothing herein contained shall impose upon Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor any obligation to enforce any terms, covenants or conditions contained herein. Failure of Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor, in any one or more instances, to insist upon strict performance by Borrower, Collateral Guarantor or Lender of any terms, covenants or conditions of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment by Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor of their right to insist upon
35
and to enforce in the future, by injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, strict compliance by Borrower, Collateral Guarantor or Lender with all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The consent of Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor to any act or omission by Borrower, Collateral Guarantor or Lender shall not be construed to be a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Lender's, Borrower's or Collateral Guarantor's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.
Section 9.02. Notices and Delivery. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any consent, notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy (or on the next Banking Business Day if such telecopy is received on a non-Banking Business Day or after 5:00 p.m. on a Banking Business Day) or four (4) Banking Business Days after deposit in the United States mail (registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed). Notices to Lender pursuant to Articles II shall not be effective until received by Lender. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 10.02) shall be as set forth below each party's name on the signature pages hereof, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties.

Section 9.03. Modification in Writing. This Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any term sheets furnished by Lender to Borrower. Neither this Credit Agreement, nor any other Loan Documents, nor any provision herein, or therein, may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
Section 9.04. Other Agreements. If the terms of any documents, certificates or agreements delivered in connection with this Credit Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower and Collateral Guarantor shall use their best efforts to amend such document, certificate or agreement to the satisfaction of Lender to remove such inconsistency.
Section 9.05. Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures hereto and hereby were upon the same instrument. All such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same document.
Section 9.06. Rights, Powers and Remedies are Cumulative. None of the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon or reserved to Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor in this Credit Agreement are intended to be exclusive of any other available right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and not alternative, and shall be in addition to every right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. Any forbearance, delay or omission by Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to insist upon and to enforce in the future, by injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, any of said rights, powers and remedies given to Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor herein. The exercise of any right or partial exercise thereof by Lender, Borrower or Collateral Guarantor shall not preclude the further exercise thereof and the same shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.
Section 9.07. Continuing Representations. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Credit
36
Facility hereunder and the execution and delivery of each other Loan Document until and final payment of all sums owing under the Credit Facility and the Credit Facility has been irrevocably terminated.
Section 9.08. Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants, warranties and conditions contained in this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 9.09. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Credit Agreement.
Section 9.10. Choice of Law and Forum.

Section 9.11. Arbitration.
a. Other than an action or legal proceeding instituted by Lender for the purpose of exercising any remedy under the Security Documentation, upon the request of any party, whether made before or after the institution of any legal proceeding, any action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind (e.g., whether in contract or in tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable) ("Dispute") now existing or hereafter arising between the parties in any way arising out of, pertaining to or in connection with the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or any related agreements, documents, or instruments (collectively the "Documents"), may, by summary proceedings (e.g., a plea in abatement or motion to stay further proceedings), bring an action in court to compel arbitration of any Dispute.
b. All Disputes between the parties shall be resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
c. No provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under this arbitration clause shall limit the rights of any party, and the parties shall have the right during any Dispute, to seek, use and employ ancillary or preliminary remedies, judicial or otherwise, for the purposes of realizing upon, preserving, protecting or foreclosing upon any property, real or personal, which is involved in a Dispute, or which is subject to, or described in, the Documents, including, without limitation, rights and remedies relating to: (i) foreclosing against any real or personal property collateral or other security by the exercise of a power of sale under the Security Documentation or other security agreement or instrument, or applicable law, (ii) exercising self-help remedies (including setoff rights) or (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver from a court having jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of self-help remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the Dispute to arbitration nor render inapplicable the compulsory arbitration provision hereof.
Section 9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER, COLLATERAL GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH MUTUALLY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH,
37
RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF BORROWER, COLLATERAL GUARANTOR AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER, COLLATERAL GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE DEFENDING PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT OR OTHER TRIBUNAL AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE COMPLAINING PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
Section 9.13. Scope of Approval and Review. Any inspection of the Collateral shall be deemed to be made solely for Lender's internal purposes and shall not be relied upon by the Borrower, Collateral Guarantor or any third party. In no event shall Lender be deemed or construed to be joint venturers or partners of Borrower or Collateral Guarantor.
Section 9.14. Severability of Provisions. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Credit Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 9.15. Cumulative Nature of Covenants. All covenants contained herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other covenant. Any action allowed by any covenant shall be allowed only if such action is not prohibited by any other covenant.
Section 9.16. Costs to Prevailing Party. If any action or arbitration proceeding is brought by any party against any other party under this Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover such costs and attorney's fees as the court in such action or proceeding may adjudge reasonable.
Section 9.17. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, if any Event of Default exists, Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all obligations of Borrower under the Credit Facility, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or any Loan Document and although such amounts owed may be contingent or unmatured. Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under this Section 10.17 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Lender may have.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, XXXXXX GAMING, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Borrower") promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (together with its successors and assigns, the "Lender") such sums as Lender may hereafter loan or advance or re-loan to the Borrower from time to time pursuant to the Credit Facility as described in the Credit Agreement, hereinafter defined, the unpaid balance of which shall not exceed in the aggregate the Maximum Permitted Balance at any time, together with interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time at the rate or rates set forth in the Credit Agreement.
A. Incorporation of Credit Agreement.
1. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated concurrently herewith (the "Credit Agreement"), executed by and among the Borrower, the Collateral Guarantor therein named and Lender. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings defined for those terms in the Credit Agreement. This is the Revolving Credit Promissory Note ("Revolving Credit Note") referred to in the Credit Agreement, and any holder hereof is entitled to all of the rights, remedies, benefits and privileges provided for in the Credit Agreement as originally executed or as it may from time to time be supplemented, modified or amended. The Credit Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events upon the terms and conditions therein specified.
2. The outstanding principal indebtedness evidenced by this Revolving Credit Note shall be payable as provided in the Credit Agreement and in any event on September 30, 2003, unless extended from time to time for one (1) year periods in the manner and subject to the terms of Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement, the Maturity Date.
3.

Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:
We are special counsel to Borrower and to the Collateral Guarantor and have acted in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents. This opinion is delivered to you at the request of Borrower and Collateral Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Credit Agreement for the reliance of Lender and its successors and assigns.
All capitalized terms which are used herein, and which are not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning which is set forth by Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein we have: (i) examined, and are familiar with, originals of each of the executed Loan Documents; and (ii) made such inquiries, and reviewed such other documents, corporate documentation, trust documentation and records, as we deemed appropriate under the circumstances. In making such examination and review, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of officers signing on behalf of the Borrower, the Collateral Guarantor and the signatures of the Subsidiary Guarantors), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. We have also assumed the valid authorization, execution and delivery of each Loan Document by each party thereto (other than the Borrower, the Collateral Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors), and we have assumed, where applicable, that each such other party has been duly organized, is validly existing and in good standing under its jurisdiction of organization and possesses the corporate or other organization power to perform its obligations thereunder.
We are not expressing any opinion as to the effect of the compliance or noncompliance of Lender with any state or federal laws or regulations which are applicable because of the legal or regulatory status, or the nature of the business of Lender.
We are members of the bar of the State of Nevada and express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of Borrower, ETTI, Market Gaming, Cardivan, Corral and CCC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the Collateral Guarantor and ETTELLC is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (i) have all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver each document, agreement or certificate to which they, or any of them, are a party or by which they, or any of them, are bound in connection with the Credit Facility, to consummate the
transactions and perform their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to own their respective properties and assets and to carry on and conduct their respective business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted, and (ii) have taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which they, or any of them, are a party or by which they, or any of them, are bound and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder.
2. Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the taking of any and all action necessary to carry out and give effect to the transactions contemplated to be performed on its respective part by the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and each of the other Loan Documents, the Subsidiary Guaranty and each other document, agreement, certificate or instrument executed by them or any of them in connection with the Credit Facility.
3. Neither the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, certificate or instrument to which Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors are a party or by which they, or any of them, are bound in connection with the Credit Facility, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder, or the compliance with or performance of the terms and conditions therein, is prevented by, limited by, conflicts in any material respect with, or will result in a material breach or violation of, or a material default (with due notice or lapse of time or both) under, or the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of their respective property or assets by virtue of, the terms, conditions or provisions of (a) the Articles of Incorporation or Organization, Bylaws or Operating Agreement or other documents of organization or charter of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) the Indenture or any other evidence of indebtedness, loan or financing agreement, or other agreement or instrument of whatever nature to which they, or any of them, are a party or by which they, or any of them, are bound, or (c) any provision of any existing law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority to which they, or any of them, are subject where such breach could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
4. The Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, the Subsidiary Guaranty and all other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors which is a party thereto and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, enforceable against each Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors which is a party thereto in accordance with their respective terms.
5. The FPG Security Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Collateral Guarantor.
6. Upon the filing of the Financing Statements listing the FPG FF&E and other Collateral therein described, in the office of the County Recorder of Xxxxx County, Nevada, and in the office of the Secretary of State of Nevada, the security interest granted by the FPG Security Agreement will be a valid perfected security interest in the Collateral therein described in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as in force and effect in the State of Nevada, and no refiling or re-recording of such Financing Statements is required in order to maintain the security interest of Lender in said Collateral, except continuation statements which are required to be filed within six (6) months prior to the expiration of five (5) years from the date of the filing of the original Financing Statements.
7. The security interest evidenced by the FPG Security Agreement and FPG Financing Statement in favor of Lender, as secured party, constitutes Permitted Liens on the Separate Collateral as defined and described in the Indenture; the Liens perfected by the FPG Security
2
Agreement and FPG Financing Statements are senior in priority to the Liens securing the Indenture and the "Notes" as defined in the Indenture, as to the Collateral described in and encumbered by the FPG Security Agreement and FPG Financing Statements.
8. Except in complying with Nevada Gaming Commission ("NGC") Regulations 8 and 8A, respectively, no authorization, consent or other approval of, or registration, declaration or other filing with any Gaming Authority is required on the part of Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors for the execution and delivery by them of the Loan Documents, or for Borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or for the performance by Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantors of their respective obligations, under the Loan Documents.

The opinions set forth in Paragraphs (4) through (6) above are subject to the additional qualifications that: (a) the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally; (b) certain of the provisions contained in the Loan Documents and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be unenforceable in whole or in part, to the extent that any such provision may contravene the public policy of the State of Nevada; and (c) certain waivers contained in the Loan Documents may be unenforceable in whole or in part under the laws of the State of Nevada, but the inclusion of such provisions, as described in (b) and (c) above, does not affect the validity of such Loan Documents and such Loan Documents contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of all monetary obligations thereunder and for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby, provided such enforcement is conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the laws of the State of Nevada.
This opinion is rendered to the Lender, and its successors and assigns, in connection with the transactions referred to herein and may not be relied on in any other context; nor may it be relied on by any other Person; nor shall there be any obligation to update this opinion.

b. Construction. Unless the context of this Subsidiary Guaranty clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the term "including" is not limiting, and the term "or" has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase "and/or." The words "hereof," "herein," "hereby," "hereunder," and other similar terms refer to this Subsidiary Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Subsidiary Guaranty. Any reference in this Subsidiary Guaranty to any of the following documents includes any and all alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, renewals, or supplements thereto or thereof, as applicable: the Loan Documents; the Credit Agreement; this Subsidiary Guaranty; and the Revolving Credit Note.
2. Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Beneficiary, as and for their own debt, until final and indefeasible payment thereof has been made, (a) the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case when the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to a mandatory repayment requirement, by acceleration, or otherwise; it being the intent of Guarantors that the guaranty set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection; (b) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by Borrower of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, the Environmental Certificate and under each of the other Loan Documents; and (c) in addition to the amounts stated above, any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Beneficiary in enforcing any rights under this Subsidiary Guaranty.
3. Continuing Guaranty. This Subsidiary Guaranty includes Guaranteed Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guaranteed Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guaranteed Obligations after prior Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantors hereby waive any right to revoke this Subsidiary Guaranty as to future Credit Facility Indebtedness. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, Guarantors acknowledge and agree that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received and acknowledged by Beneficiary, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Guaranteed Obligations in existence on such date (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof to the extent permitted by law), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Beneficiary in existence prior to the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by Guarantors, Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantors hereunder, and (e) any payment by Borrower or from any source other than Guarantors subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which is not, therefore, guarantied hereunder,
2
and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the obligations of Guarantors hereunder with respect to the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations as to which the revocation is not effective.
4. Performance under this Subsidiary Guaranty. In the event that Borrower fails to make any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations on or before the due date thereof, or if Borrower shall fail to perform, keep, observe, or fulfill any other obligations referred to in clause (b) of Section 2 hereof in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, or the other Loan Documents, as applicable, Guarantors immediately following demand therefor shall cause such payment to be made or each of such obligations to be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled.
5. Primary Obligations. This Subsidiary Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of Guarantors, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an irrevocable, absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the issuance of the Revolving Credit Note. Guarantors agree that they are directly, jointly and severally with any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, liable to Beneficiary, that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower or any other guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought against Guarantors, whether such action is brought against Borrower or any other guarantor or whether Borrower or any such other guarantor is joined in such action. Guarantors agree that their liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Beneficiary of whatever remedies it may have against Borrower or any other Guarantor, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Beneficiary may at any time possess. Guarantors agree that any release which may be given by Beneficiary to Borrower or any other Guarantor shall not release Guarantors. Guarantors consent and agree that Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to marshal any property or assets of Borrower or any other Guarantor in favor of Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and shall not be affected or impaired by:
a. any amendment or modification (whether material or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other Person;
b. any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other Person, as to the indebtedness of the Borrower;
c. any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking;
d. any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower;
e. the failure to give notice to any Guarantor of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under the provisions of the Credit Agreement or the failure, omission or delay by Beneficiary to enforce or exercise any right or remedy under the Guaranteed Obligations;
f. any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any security (including the Collateral), or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
g. any manner of application of any security (including the Collateral), or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any security or any other assets of the Borrower;
h. the assignment of any right, title or interest of Beneficiary in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to any other Person;
3
i. any change in the corporate structure, or termination, dissolution, consolidation or merger of the Borrower or any Guarantor with or into any other entity, the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor, the marshalling of the asset and liabilities of the Borrower or any Guarantor, the receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors, or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any of the assets of any of them;
j. any payment made to Beneficiary on the Guaranteed Obligations which the Beneficiary repays the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding; or
k. any other event or circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations), whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations;
it being the intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
6. Waivers.
a. Guarantors hereby waive: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any Borrowings, advances, loans, or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Agreement, or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to Guarantors' right to make inquiry of Beneficiary to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or of any other fact that might increase Guarantors' risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to the Revolving Credit Note or any other instrument; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Guarantors under this Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which Guarantors are party) and demands to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled.
b. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantors waive the right by statute or otherwise to require Beneficiary to institute suit against Borrower or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Beneficiary has or may have against Borrower. In this regard, Guarantors agree that they are bound to the payment of each and all Guaranteed Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter accruing, as fully as if such Guaranteed Obligations were directly owing to Beneficiary by Guarantors. Guarantors further waive any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower in respect thereof.
c. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (i) any rights to assert against Beneficiary any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which Guarantors may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Beneficiary; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Beneficiary; (iv) any defense or benefit that may be derived from or afforded by law which limits the liability of or exonerates guaranties
4
or sureties, including, without limitation, the benefits of Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 40.430-40.459, 40.475 and 40.485 as permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes § 40.495; and (v) any defense arising directly or indirectly by reason of any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, any other Loan Document or the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.
d. Guarantors agree that if all or a portion of the Credit Facility Indebtedness or this Subsidiary Guaranty is at any time secured by a deed of trust or mortgage covering interests in real property, Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of Guarantors under this Subsidiary Guaranty, may foreclose pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise the deed of trust or mortgage and the interests in real property secured thereby by judicial, or where applicable, non-judicial sale. Guarantors understand that the exercise by Beneficiary of certain rights and remedies contained in the Credit Agreement and any such deed of trust or mortgage may affect or eliminate Guarantors' right of subrogation against Borrower and that Guarantors may therefore incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantors hereby authorize and empower Beneficiary to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantors that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of any deed of trust or security agreement with respect to any or all of any real or personal property secured thereby, whether by the exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial foreclosure or by an acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Guarantors shall remain bound under this Subsidiary Guaranty including its obligation to pay any deficiency following a non-judicial or judicial foreclosure.
e. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and completely performed and the Credit Facility shall have terminated, Guarantors shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that Guarantors now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Subsidiary Guaranty or the performance by Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that Guarantors now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any Collateral or security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary, and (b) any right of contribution Guarantors may have against any other guarantor of the Credit Facility. Guarantors further agree that, to the extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of their respective rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification Guarantors may have against the Borrower or against any Collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Guarantors may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Beneficiary may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest Beneficiary may have in any such Collateral or security, and to any right Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. Beneficiary may use, sell or dispose of any item of Collateral or security as it sees fit without regard to any subrogation rights Guarantors may have, and upon any such disposition or sale any rights of subrogation Guarantors may have shall terminate. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantors on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full or completely performed, such amount shall be held in trust for Beneficiary and shall forthwith be paid over to Beneficiary to be credited
5
and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
f. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives (i) any defense, right of set-off, claim or counterclaim whatsoever and any and all other rights, benefits, protections and other defenses available to such Guarantor now or at any time hereafter, and all successor sections, and (ii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Person, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a Guaranteed Obligation has destroyed such Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower or otherwise.
7. Releases. Guarantors consent and agree that, without notice to or by Guarantors and without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantors hereunder, Beneficiary may, by action or inaction, compromise or settle, extend the period of duration or the time for the payment, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to, or otherwise not enforce, or may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one or more of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, or any of the other Loan Documents or may grant other indulgences to Borrower in respect thereof, or may amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any one or more of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, or may, by action or inaction, release or substitute any other guarantor, if any, of the Guaranteed Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or waive, by action or inaction, any security for the Guaranteed Obligations (including the Collateral) or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any portion thereof.
8. No Election. Beneficiary shall have the right to seek recourse against Guarantors to the fullest extent provided for herein and no election by Beneficiary to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Beneficiary's right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless Beneficiary has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Beneficiary under any document or instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of Guarantors under this Subsidiary Guaranty except to the extent that Beneficiary finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment by such action or proceeding.
9. Indefeasible Payment. The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be considered indefeasibly paid for purposes of this Subsidiary Guaranty unless and until all payments to Beneficiary are no longer subject to any right on the part of any person whomsoever, including Borrower, Borrower as a debtor in possession, or any trustee (whether appointed under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) of any Borrower's assets to invalidate or set aside such payments or to seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any portion thereof, or to declare same to be fraudulent or preferential. In the event that, for any reason, all or any portion of the payments by the Guarantors to Beneficiary are set aside, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after the making thereof, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made and Guarantors shall be liable for the full amount Beneficiary is required to repay plus any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) paid by Beneficiary in connection therewith.
10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Guarantors represent and warrant to Beneficiary that they are currently informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors further represent and warrant to Beneficiary that they have each read and understand the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, and the other Loan Documents. Guarantors hereby covenant that they will continue to keep themselves informed of Borrower's financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of
6
all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
11. Subordination. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors shall be postponed in favor of and subordinated in full to the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts collected or received by Guarantors shall be held in trust for and paid over to Beneficiary on account of the Credit Facility Indebtedness.
12. Deferral of Rights of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, Guarantors hereby expressly agree with respect to Borrower and their successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower, not to exercise, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Credit Facility terminated, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution (except as specifically provided in Section 13 below), to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantors may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other such Person in connection with or as a result of Guarantors' execution, delivery and/or performance of this Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party.
13. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of all payments made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of all such payments. The provisions of this Section 13 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Beneficiary, and, subject to the provisions of Section 14 below, each Guarantor shall remain liable to Beneficiary for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. The "proportionate share" of any Guarantor shall be a fraction (which shall in no event exceed 1.00) the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor over a fair estimate of the liabilities of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the excess (but not less than One Dollar ($1.00)) of the fair value of the aggregate assets (without duplication) of all Guarantors over a fair estimate of the aggregate liabilities (without duplication) of all Guarantors. All relevant calculations shall be made as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor.
14. Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any Loan Document to which each Guarantor is a party, the aggregate liability of all Guarantors hereunder for payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not exceed an amount which, in the aggregate, is One Dollar ($1.00) less than that amount which if so paid or performed would constitute or result in a "fraudulent transfer", "fraudulent conveyance", or terms of similar import, under applicable state or federal law, including without limitation, Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is independent of any other guaranties at any time in effect with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and each Guarantor's liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence of any such guaranties. Any termination by or release of any Guarantor in whole or in part (whether it be another Guarantor under this instrument or not) shall not affect the continuing liability of any other Guarantor hereunder, and no notice of any such termination or release shall be required. The execution hereof by each Guarantor is not founded upon an expectation or understanding that there will be any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.
15. Bankruptcy. Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranty to Beneficiary the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Subsections (f),
7
(g) or (h) of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally and irrevocably promise to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Beneficiary, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.
16. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. In order to induce the Beneficiary to make the Borrowings, loans, advances and extend financial accommodations to and for the benefit of Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that, as of the date hereof or as of the date of each Certificate of Joinder, as applicable:
a. It (i) is a duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, (ii) has the power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which its is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the operations, property, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Guarantors and the Borrower taken as a whole.
b. It has the power to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Subsidiary Guaranty.

c. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by it of this Subsidiary Guaranty, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any existing law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality applicable to the Guarantors, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the material terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of its property or assets pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) will violate any provision of its charter or by-laws.

23. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Subsidiary Guaranty, together with any Certificate of Joinder, Exhibit A hereto, the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and the Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between Guarantors and Beneficiary pertaining to the subject matter contained herein. This Subsidiary Guaranty may not be altered, amended, or modified, nor may any provisions hereof be waived or noncompliance therewith consented to, except by means of a writing executed by Guarantors and Beneficiary. Any such alteration, amendment, modification, waiver, or consent shall be effective only to the extent specified therein and for the specific purpose for which given. No course of dealing and no delay or waiver of any right or default under this Subsidiary
10
Guaranty shall be deemed a waiver of any other, similar or dissimilar, right or default or otherwise prejudice the rights and remedies hereunder.
24. Successors and Assigns. This Subsidiary Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Beneficiary and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior consent of the Beneficiary. In the event of any assignment or other transfer of rights by Beneficiary to a successor Lender, the rights and benefits herein conferred upon Beneficiary shall automatically extend to and be vested in such assignee or other transferee.

26. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTORS AND BENEFICIARY EACH MUTUALLY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF GUARANTORS AND BENEFICIARY WITH RESPECT TO THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.
