SECTION 17. Standard of Care. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of
17
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any third parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property or similar property held in Secured Party’s possession.
SECTION 18. Remedies.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if Secured Party elects, upon any Event of Default, to sell real property and any of the Collateral together under the Deed of Trust and applicable law, then the terms of the Deed of Trust shall, with respect to such sale and Collateral, control and supersede any terms in this Agreement with respect to such sale and Collateral; provided that Secured Party’s election to exercise remedies under the Deed of Trust shall have no effect on the terms contained in this Agreement with respect to any Collateral as to which Secured Party has not so elected.
(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Secured Party may, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, 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 Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the “Code”) (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require Grantors to, and Grantors hereby agree that they will at their expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) 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 Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of Grantors’ premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Grantors’ equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, and (v) 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 Secured Party’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 Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Secured Party or any holder of Notes may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, 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 Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party 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 Grantors, and Grantors hereby waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of
18
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. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party 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 Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, upon an Event of Default hereunder or under the Indenture and foreclosure upon any gaming permits pledged and assigned herein, Secured Party is not qualified under the Gaming Laws to hold such gaming permits, then Secured Party shall designate an appropriately qualified third party to which an assignment of such gaming permits can be made in compliance with the Gaming Laws.
