Nevada designated to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and be available for
inspection by agents or employees of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board as
promptly as possible upon request during normal business hours.
V. Dividends and Voting Rights Prior to Default. Until an Event of Default (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing and Agent
4
shall have given notice to Shareholder of Agent's intent to exercise its rights
pursuant to Section VI.B. below, Shareholder shall be permitted (a) to receive
all dividends paid on Shareholder's Stock (other than dividends paid in
additional Stock unless such additional Stock is pledged to Agent, for the
benefit of the Lender Group, pursuant to this Stock Pledge Agreement) which are
permitted by both the Loan Documents and the Indenture, and (b) to exercise all
voting and corporate rights with respect to the Stock; provided, however, that
no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which
would be reasonably likely to impair the Collateral or result in any violation
of any provision of the Loan Documents.
VI. Default and Remedies.
A. Event of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement (subject to such cure rights as may be expressly set forth in such
Loan Agreement), whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body, shall constitute an "Event of
Default" hereunder.
B. Dividends and Voting Rights. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default hereunder and subject to the receipt of all necessary gaming
approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities, Agent may, upon notice to
Shareholder, (i) notify ROC to pay all dividends on Shareholder's Stock to
Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, receive and collect all such
dividends and make application thereof to the Obligations in the manner and
order set forth in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement, and (ii) register all of
Shareholder's Stock in the name of Agent or its nominee, for the benefit of the
Lender Group, and Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting,
corporate and other rights pertaining to Shareholder's Stock at any meeting of
shareholders of ROC or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion,
exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to
Shareholder's Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, after Agent has commenced to exercise remedies (or such remedies are
deemed commenced) under the Loan Documents, the right to exchange at its
discretion any and all of Shareholder's Stock upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate
structure of ROC, or upon the exercise by Shareholder or Agent of any right,
privilege or option pertaining to Shareholder's Stock, and in connection
therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of Shareholder's Stock
with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine), all without
liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Agent
shall have no duty to Shareholder to exercise any such right, privilege or
option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so
doing. Promptly after the waiver or cure of the Event of Default giving rise to
Agent's election under this Section VI.B., Agent shall notify Shareholder and
ROC of such waiver or cure and for so long as no subsequent continuing Event of
Default exists, Shareholder shall have all rights as a shareholder it had prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Default, the Shareholder's Stock shall (at
the sole expense of Borrower) again be registered in the name of Shareholder and
ROC shall again make all payments and distributions with respect to
Shareholder's Stock to Shareholder (subject to the express limitations of this
Stock Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
5
C. Additional Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other
Collateral Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default and subject to the receipt of all necessary gaming approvals from the
Nevada Gaming Authorities, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted in this Stock Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument
or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, any and all
rights and remedies at law, including, without limitation, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind to or upon
Shareholder, ROC or any other Person (except notice of time and place of sale
and any other notice required by law and any notice expressly required herein or
in any other Loan Document), forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize
upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign,
give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter
market, at any exchange, broker's board or office of Agent or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender Group shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Shareholder,
which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Lender Group shall
apply any proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect
thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in
any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent hereunder, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements of counsel to Agent, to
the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as specified
by the Loan Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by
Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Agent account
for the surplus, if any, to Shareholder. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Shareholder waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against
any Indemnified Person (as such term is defined in Section 11.3 of the Loan
Agreement) arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder except,
with respect to any Indemnified Person, to the extent such claims, damages and
demands are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral
shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least 10 days before the earliest time of sale or disposition set forth
in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the sale or disposition of
any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline
speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.
6
VII. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. Agent's sole duty with respect
to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with
it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar securities and property for
its own account and as would be dealt by a prudent person in the reasonable
administration of its affairs. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize
upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
Shareholder or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
herein shall be deemed a waiver or release of the provisions of Sections 11.2
and 16 of the Loan Agreement.
VIII. Nevada Gaming Law. This agreement will be governed by the Gaming
Control Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties
agree that:
A. the pledge of the Stock provided for herein will be subject to the approval
of the Nevada Gaming Authorities (as defined herein);
B. Notwithstanding approval by the Nevada Gaming Authorities pursuant to
paragraph (a), other approvals of the Gaming Authorities may, and in some cases
will, be required before certain transactions relating to this Agreement may
occur, including but not limited to the following:
1. any re-registration or action similar to re-registration of
the Stock (or any distribution in respect of, in addition to,
in substitution of, or in exchange for, the Stock or any part
thereof);
2. any foreclosure, sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Stock; and
3. pursuant to Regulation 8.050 of the Nevada Gaming Commission,
the payment or receipt of any money or other thing of value
constituting any part of the consideration for the transfer or
acquisition of the Stock, except that such consideration may
be placed in escrow pending the necessary approvals; and
C. the Agent, through an agent or representative, shall retain all evidence of
ownership in the Stock or any distribution of additional securities in respect
of, in addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Stock or any
part thereof, in the State of Nevada. Such agent or representative shall be
located in and authorized to do business in the State of Nevada, and designated
to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, and shall make all certificates
evidencing stock available for inspection by agents of the Nevada Gaming
Authorities immediately upon request during normal business hours.
7
IX. Termination. This Stock Pledge Agreement shall terminate upon the payment in
full in cash of all Obligations and the irrevocable termination of all
commitments of the Lender Group to extend credit to Borrower under the Loan
Documents, and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent shall promptly
thereafter deliver the Stock certificates held by it hereunder to Shareholder
and, at Shareholder's expense, execute and deliver to Shareholder such documents
as Shareholder shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
X. Power of Attorney. Shareholder hereby appoints and constitutes Agent as
Shareholder's attorney-in-fact for purposes of, at any time while an Event of
Default exists, (a) collecting any Collateral, (b) conveying any item of
Collateral to any purchaser thereof, and (c) making any payments or taking any
acts under Section VI hereof. Subject to the receipt of all necessary gaming
approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities, Agent's authority hereunder shall
include, without limitation, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the authority to endorse and negotiate, for the Lender
Group's own account, any checks or instruments in the name of Agent, to execute
or receipt for any document, to transfer title to any item of Collateral, and to
take any other actions necessary or incident to the powers granted to Agent or
the Lender Group in this Stock Pledge Agreement. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by Shareholder.
XI. Miscellaneous.
A. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, demands, and
requests that either party is required or elects to give to the other shall be
in writing and shall be governed by the provisions contained in the Loan
Agreement.
B. Nonwaiver. No failure or delay on Agent's or the Lender Group's part
in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any
other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude
any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.
C. Amendments and Waivers. This Stock Pledge Agreement may not be amended
or modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written instruments
signed by the party or parties against which enforcement thereof is sought.
Each waiver or consent under any provision hereof shall be effective only in the
specific instances for the purpose for which given.
D. Assignment. This Stock Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon inure to the
benefit of Agent, the Lender Group, and Shareholder and their respective
successors and assigns; provided, however, that Shareholder may not assign its
rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of
Agent or the Lender Group. To the extent permitted in the Loan Agreement and
subject to the receipt of all necessary gaming approvals from the Nevada Gaming
Authorities, Agent may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its
interest under this Stock Pledge Agreement, upon notice to Shareholder. Agent
may disclose this Stock Pledge Agreement and any financial or other information
relating to Shareholder to any potential assignee or participant.
E. Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent and the
8
Lender Group under this Stock Pledge Agreement shall be in addition to all
rights, powers and remedies given to Agent and the Lender Group by virtue of the
Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, any applicable governmental rule or
regulation or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers, and remedies
shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without
impairing Agent's Lien in the Collateral. Shareholder waives any right to
require Agent or the Lender Group to proceed against any Person or to exhaust
any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Agent's or the Lender Group's power.
F. Governing Law. This Stock Pledge Agreement, the rights and obligations
of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Stateof CALIFORNIA,
except to the extent that the perfection and enforcement of the security
interests hereunder in respect of any particular collateral are governed by the
laws of another jurisdiction.
