2. The Loan.
(a) Loan.

The Loan will be advanced, in parts, pursuant to this Agreement and in the amounts of each Note during the Advance Period. No Advance may be made after the expiration of the Advance Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time Lender may in its sole discretion, for any reason or for no reason, and with or without notice to the Borrower, elect not to make further Advances under this Agreement. To the extent Lender elects not to make further Advances hereunder, such election shall not effect the continuing Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document in existence as of the date of such election. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide additional Advances following such election by Lender. To the extent Lender elects not to make further Advances hereunder, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all existing loans with the Lender with no prepayment penalty.
(b) Notes. The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more Notes which will be made by the Borrower payable to the order of the Lender.
(c) Interest Rate. The Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate, or (ii) the interest rate specified on each Note (the “Applicable Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any principal, interest (to the extent permitted by applicable law) and other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (x) the Maximum Rate or (y) eighteen percent (18%) (the “Default Rate”).
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, it shall be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments, if permitted, and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
5 |
(e) Computation of Interest Rate. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears and shall be calculated on a daily rate equal to 1/360th of the annual rate of interest on the Loan subject, however, to the provisions limiting interest contracted for, charged or received to the Maximum Rate.
(f) Repayment of the Loan and Accrued Interest Thereon. The Loan shall be payable in accordance with the terms of each Note which are incorporated herein by reference.
(g) Mandatory Prepayments. For any one Note, at any time during the period extending from the Closing Date on such Note until the Termination Date (the “Term”), and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable) specifying a date (the “Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make prepayments of the Loans hereunder as follows:
(i) Equipment Sale to Obligor. In the event the Borrower desires to sell certain Units of Equipment to an Obligor, the Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice (“Sale Notice”) including a written schedule identifying by serial number the Units of Equipment to be sold (“Sold Equipment”) to the Lender. Borrower shall prepay to Lender a sum equal to the pro-rata portion of accrued interest and principal balance outstanding due under such Note on the Sold Equipment plus the Prepayment Fee (“Purchase Payment”) to be applied in the manner described in Section 2(h)(i) hereof. In the event of such a sale, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender any outstanding Contingent Interest Payment associated with the Sold Equipment except for any Contingent Interest Payments that would have been due and payable prior to the closing date of such sale. Upon the receipt by Lender of any Purchase Payment, and contingent upon there being no Default, Lender will release its security interest in the Sold Equipment by filing a UCC-3 amendment deleting the Sold Equipment from the UCC-1 financing statement. Any Purchase Payment shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date.
(h) Application of Payments and Mandatory Prepayments; Manner of Payment.
(i) Payments. So long as an Event of Default does not exist, all payments (other than prepayments and Contingent Interest Payments) on each Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to the outstanding principal balance of such Note. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may apply any payments received on the Note to the outstanding principal thereof, accrued interest thereon, late charges or any other Obligations in such order or manner as the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine.
(ii) Prepayments. So long as an Event of Default does not exist, all prepayments of any Note, shall be applied first to Prepayment Fee, second to accrued interest with respect to the principal balance of such Note, and third to the outstanding principal balance of such Note. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may apply any prepayments received on the Note to the outstanding principal thereof, accrued interest thereon, Contingent Interest Payments, Prepayment Fee, late charges or any other Obligations in such order or manner as the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine.
6 |
(iii) Contingent Interest Payments. So long as an Event of Default does not exist, all Contingent Interest Payments of a Note, shall be applied first to the remaining Contingent Interest Payments attributable to such Note, second to accrued interest with respect to the principal balance of such Note, and third to the outstanding principal balance of such Note. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may apply any payments received on the Note to the outstanding principal thereof, accrued interest thereon, Contingent Interest Payments, Prepayment Fee, late charges or any other Obligations in such order or manner as the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine.
(iv) Manner of Payment. All payments (including prepayments and Contingent Interest Payments) with respect to the Loan and the other Obligations shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender in accordance with such instructions, and by wire transfer, automated clearing house transfer or other means of payment, as may be specified by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time.
(i) Taxes. All payments by the Borrower of principal of and interest on the Loan and of all fees and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction by reason of, any present or future Indemnified Taxes. If any Indemnified Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower will (a) make additional payments in such amounts so that every net payment of principal of and interest on the Loan and of all other amounts payable by it under the Loan Documents, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes (including any tax imposed on or measured by net income of the Lender attributable to payments made to or on behalf of the Lender pursuant to this Section 2(i) and any penalties or interest attributable to such payments), will not be less than the amount provided for herein or therein absent such withholding or deduction, (b) make such withholding or deduction and (c) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, upon written request of the Lender, reimburse the Lender for the amount of (1) Indemnified Taxes levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority and paid by the Lender as a result of payments made by the Borrower under or with respect to the Loan other than Indemnified Taxes previously withheld or deducted by the Borrower which have previously resulted in the payment of the required additional amount to the Lender, and (2) Indemnified Taxes levied or imposed with respect to the Lender reimbursement under the foregoing clause (1), so that the net amount received by the Lender (net of payments made under or with respect to the Loan) after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the Lender would have received if such Indemnified Taxes on such reimbursement had not been levied or imposed. The Borrower shall furnish promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, to the Lender, upon request of the Lender, official receipts evidencing any such payment, withholding or reduction. The Borrower will indemnify the Lender against, and reimburse the Lender for, all present and future Indemnified Taxes (including interest and penalties) levied or collected (whether or not legally or correctly imposed, assessed, levied or collected). Any such indemnification shall be on an after-tax basis, taking into account any such Indemnified Taxes imposed on the amounts paid as indemnity. Without prejudice to the survival of any other term or provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2(i) shall survive the payment of the Loan and the other Obligations.
7 |
(j) Reinstatement of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the payment of any amount of principal or interest with respect to the Loan or any other amount of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, is rescinded, voided or must otherwise be refunded by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower for any reason whatsoever, then each of (a) the Obligations, (b) the Loan Documents, (c) the Indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and (d) all Liens for the benefit of the Lender created under or evidenced by the Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, will be automatically reinstated and become automatically effective and in full force and effect, all to the extent that and as though such payment so rescinded, voided or otherwise refunded had never been made.
3. Lender Priority and Right of First Refusal.
(a) Lender Priority Period. Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Borrower or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is seeking equipment financing in a material amount for any gaming related equipment (each a “Proposed Financing”) during the Priority Period, Borrower or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries shall only use Lender to provide such Proposed Financing unless Lender declines to provide such financing. The “Priority Period” is a rolling 18-month period from the date of each Closing Date under this Agreement. This lender exclusivity requirement expires 18 months from the Closing Date under this Agreement when Borrower borrows from Lender the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000.00. During the Priority Period, Borrower shall provide Lender notice of any Proposed Financing that will include a summary of all material terms and conditions of such Proposed Financing (the “Financing Notice”). Lender agrees to provide Borrower with a preliminary indication of whether or not Lender is interested in providing the Proposed Financing within 5 Business Days of Lender’s receipt of the Financing Notice; provided that, if Lender does not provide Borrower with such preliminary indication within such period, Lender shall be deemed to have rejected such Proposed Financing and Borrower shall be permitted to seek such financing from any other person or entity. In the event that Lender elects to provide a Proposed Financing to Borrower or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries in excess of the Loan amount, it shall be in Lender’s discretion to whether to include such Proposed Financing as part of this Agreement by amending this Agreement or pursuant to other documentation to be agreed upon between Lender and Borrower.
(b) Lender Right of First Refusal. Lender shall have a right of first refusal to purchase any Unit of Equipment which is not operating under a Lease Agreement (“Non-Operating Equipment”) and which Borrower has received a bona fide written offer (“Purchase Offer”) from a proposed purchaser who is not affiliated or related to Borrower (“Purchaser”) to purchase the Non-Operating Equipment for a purchase price (the “Offer Price”) denominated and payable in United States dollars at closing or according to specified terms, with or without interest, which offer shall be in writing signed by the Purchaser and shall be irrevocable for a period ending no sooner than the day following the end of the Offer Period, as hereinafter defined. Borrower shall provide Lender written notice (“Offer Notice”) which shall include a copy of the Purchase Offer and an offer (“Firm Offer”) to sell the Non-Operating Equipment to the Lender for the Offer Price, payable according to the same terms as (or more favorable terms than) those contained in the Purchase Offer, provided that the Firm offer shall be made without regard to the requirement of any xxxxxxx money or similar deposits required of the Purchaser prior to closing, and without regard to any security (other than the Non-Operating Equipment) to be provided by the Purchase for any deferred portion of the Offer Price. The Firm Offer shall be irrevocable for a period (“Offer Period”) ending 5:00 p.m. local time at Las Vegas, Nevada on the third (3rd) Business Day following Lender’s receipt of the Offer Notice.
8 |
If the Firm Offer is accepted within the Offer Period, the closing of the sale of the Non-Operating Equipment shall take place within thirty (30) days after the Firm Offer has been accepted. Borrower and Lender shall execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the Non-Operating Equipment pursuant to the terms of the Firm Offer and this Section 3(b). Lender shall offset the amount of the Offer Price to the pro-rata portion of accrued interest and principal balance outstanding due under such Note which shall not be subject to a Prepayment Fee. Any portion of the Offer Price remaining after the application of the offsets shall be remitted to the Borrower. In the event the amount of the offsets exceed the Offer Price, Borrower shall remit to Lender the amount of such excess.
If the Firm Offer is not accepted in the manner provided herein, Borrower may sell the Non-Operating Equipment at any time within ten (10) days after the last day of the Offer Period, provided that such sale shall be made on terms no more favorable to the Purchaser than the terms contained in the Purchase Offer. If the Non-Operating Equipment is not sold in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Non-Operating Equipment shall again become subject to all to the conditions and restrictions of this Section 3(b).

(a) Each Borrower (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization as described in the preamble to this Agreement, (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every other jurisdiction wherein the nature of its business or the character of its properties makes such qualification necessary, and (iii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.
(b) Each Borrower has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to incur and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and any and all other documents and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action, will not violate any provision of law or of the articles of formation of Borrower, the operating agreement or by-laws of Borrower, or other organizational documents of the Borrower or result in the breach of, constitute a default under, or create or give rise to any Lien under, any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or its property may be bound or affected. The Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party have been executed and delivered by an appropriate officer of the Borrower who is authorized by and specified in the Borrower’s bylaws, charter or other corporate documents to execute and so deliver such agreements. The Borrower is not in violation of or subject to any contingent liability on account of any statute, law, rule, ordinance, order, writ, injunction or decree to the extent that such violation or contingent liability (either alone or in combination with other such violations or contingent liabilities) would result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Business Assets of the Borrower. As used herein, “material adverse effect” means a violation or contingent liability (either alone or in combination with other such violations or contingent liabilities) that would result in a cost or loss to the Borrower of $50,000 or more.

(d) There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Properties, or any basis therefor, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Business Assets of the Borrower or which would question the validity of the Loan Documents or any agreement, document or instrument related hereto or thereto or required hereby or thereby, or impair the ability of the Borrower to performany of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents or any such related agreement, document or instrument.

Each License is validly issued and in full force and effect. Attached hereto as Schedule 1, as may be amended from time to time, is a list of all material Licenses issued by any Governmental Authority and possessed by the Borrower as of the Closing Date, including the expiration date of each such License with respect to Borrower’s business under the Lease Agreements.

No event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to (after notice or lapse of time or both) (i) result in suspension, surrender, failure to renew, revocation or termination of any material License, or (ii) materially and adversely affect, whether now or in the future (so far as the Borrower can now reasonably foresee), any of the rights of the Borrower thereunder. The Borrower is not a party or subject to, and the Borrower has no knowledge of, any notice of violation, order or complaint issued by or before any Governmental Authority or other proceedings that could in any manner reasonably be expected to result in suspension, surrender, failure to renew, revocation or termination of any material License or otherwise threaten or adversely affect the validity or continued effectiveness of any of the Licenses of the Borrower. The Borrower has no reason to believe that any of its Licenses will not be renewed in the ordinary course. The Borrower has fully cooperated with every regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of the Licenses or the activities of the Borrower with respect thereto, and the Borrower has filed all material reports, applications, documents, instruments and information required to be filed by it pursuant to applicable laws, rules and regulations.

If any term of any of the other Loan Documents expressly conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that the inclusion of supplemental rights and remedies of the Lender in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.
28. Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as may be expressly stated in such other Loan Documents) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Whenever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents and any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, but, if any provision of the Loan Documents or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto shall be held to be prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with a valid provision the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. The provisions of this Section 28 are irrevocable and may not be rescinded, revoked or amended without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender has relied upon this Section 28 in entering into the Loan Documents.

30. Delay or Omission. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing under this Agreement shall impair such right, power, or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in a breach of or default under the contract. BOTH PARTIES SPECIFICALLY AND AFFIRMATIVELY AGREE NOT TO CONSTRUE THE CONDUCT, DELAY, OR OMISSION OF THE OTHER PARTY AS ALTERING IN ANY WAY THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENTS AS DEFINED IN THIS MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT. Any waiver, permit, or approval of any breach of or default under this Agreement must be in writing, and, because the language of this paragraph was negotiated and intended by both parties to be binding and is not a mere recital, both parties hereby agree that they will not raise waiver or estoppel as affirmative defenses so as to limit or negate the clear language and intent of this paragraph. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to either party shall be cumulative, not alternative.
31. Severability. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement.
32. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement between the parties. This Agreement may not be effectively amended, changed, modified, or altered without the written consent of both parties.
33. Headings. The headings to the various paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted only for convenience of reference and are not intended, nor shall they be construed, to modify, define, limit, or expand the intent of the parties.

This Note shall be payable in the following manner and on all the following terms and at the following times:
1. Definitions. For purposes of this Note the foregoing shall have the following meanings:
“Base Interest” shall mean the per annum rate of interest imposed on the Principal Balance in accordance with Section 3(a) below.
“Base Loan Maturity Date” shall mean July ____, 2021.
“Base Monthly Payment” shall mean the regular monthly installments of Base Interest and principal due under this Note on each Monthly Payment Date pursuant to Section 6(a).
“Closing Date” shall mean the date of this Note.
“Contingent Interest” shall have the meaning given to such term in Section 3(c) below.
“Contingent Interest Maturity Date” shall mean forty-eight months from the Closing Date of this Note.
“Default” shall have the meaning given to such term in Section 10 below.
“Default Rate” shall have the meaning given to such term in Section 3(b) below.
“Master Loan Agreement” shall mean the Master Loan Agreement dated July____, 2018 entered into by and between Borrower and Holder, wherein Holder has agreed to lend to Borrower the Principal of this Note subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note and the Master Loan Agreement.
“Note” shall mean this Promissory Note, in the principal amount of $____________, issued by Borrower to Holder pursuant to the Master Loan Agreement and any amendments, modifications, and/or replacement hereof.
“Principal” shall mean the principal sum of $_____________.
“Principal Balance” shall mean the Principal from time to time outstanding and unpaid on this Note.
Terms not defined herein or elsewhere in this Note shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Loan Agreement.
2. Principal Advance. The Principal under this Note will be advanced by Holder (i) directly to the Borrower for payment of all existing secured loans (ii) directly to the Borrower for reimbursement of deposits to the manufacturers of the Equipment; or (iii) directly to the manufacturer of the Equipment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Loan Agreement.
3. Interest Rate. The Principal Balance of this Note at the close of each day shall accrue interest at the following per annum rates of interest:
(a) Base Interest. From and after the date hereof the Principal Balance shall bear interest at an annual rate of eleven percent (11.0%). The annual rate in effect with respect to this Note is hereafter referred to as the “Base Interest.”
(b) Default Rate. If a Default (as later defined) occurs under this Note, then, at the option of Holder hereof, during the entire period during which such Default shall occur and be continuing, interest shall be payable on the Principal Balance at a per annum rate of interest equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be paid on this Note; or (ii) Eighteen Percent (18%) (the “Default Rate”), whether or not Holder has exercised its option to accelerate the maturity of this Note and declare the entire Principal Balance due and payable.
(c) Contingent Interest. In addition to the Base Interest, Borrower shall pay Contingent Interest as calculated in Section 6(b), which shall be hereafter referred to as “Contingent Interest”.
4. Basis of Computation. Base Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, compounded on each Monthly Payment Date (as later defined). Base Interest shall commence and accrue as to the Principal Balance on the date hereof.
5. Late Charge. In the event that any payment required hereunder is not paid within five (5) days after the due date thereof, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge of $.05 per $1.00 of unpaid payment to defray the costs of Holder incident to collecting such late payment. This late charge shall apply individually to all payments past due, and there will be no daily pro rata adjustment. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights Holder may have including the right to declare the entire Principal Balance and interest immediately due and payable.
6. Terms of Payment. The Note shall be payable as follows:
(a) Base Monthly Payments. Commencing on August ___, 2018, and on the same calendar day of each calendar month thereafter (each a “Monthly Payment Date”) up to and including July ____, 2021, monthly installments of principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable as set forth on Annex A attached hereto until this Note is paid in full (“Base Monthly Payment”) (each an “Installment”). Each monthly Installment shall be in an amount equal to the monthly amount necessary to fully amortize the then outstanding Principal Balance and accrued interest under this Note in equal monthly Installments by the Base Loan Maturity Date. The entire Principal Balance plus all accrued interest and all other charges and sums due under this Note, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of the following:
(i) The Base Loan Maturity Date; or
(ii) Such earlier date as payment hereunder shall have been accelerated by the occurrence of a Default hereunder;
In addition to each Base Monthly Payment, Borrower is required to remit Contingent Interest Payments, if any, as defined in subsection b of this Section 6. The Contingent Interest Payments are due and payable when each Installment is due and payable.
(b) Contingent Interest Payments. The Contingent Interest Payment, calculated on a monthly basis, is that amount equal to $3.50 per each On-Line Day per Unit of Equipment and continuing until the earlier to occur of the following:
(i) A Unit has reached 730 On-Line Days; or
(ii) The Contingent Interest Maturity Date; or
(iii) Such earlier date as payment hereunder shall have been accelerated by the occurrence of a Default hereunder;
On-line Days is calculated as the number of days each Unit is operating under a Lease Agreement and generating revenue for the Borrower. Once a Unit has attained 730 On-Line Days, Borrower is no longer obligated to pay Contingent Interest for such Unit. In the event a certain Unit has reached the Contingent Interest Maturity Date prior to attaining 730 On-Line Days, then Borrower is obligated to pay the Lender the remaining Contingent Interest due for such Unit. By way of example only; if at the end of the Contingent Interest Maturity Date a Unit has operated for 600 On-Line Days, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to 130 On-Line Days x $3.50. (Base Monthly Payments along with Contingent Interest Payments each a “Payment” and collectively, the “Payments”). Lender acknowledges that Borrower will only place 37 of the 40 Units from the initial order in casinos and the other 3 Units will be used for research and development; therefore, there will be no Contingent Interest due for those 3 Units.
7. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Master Loan Agreement. If any payment of Principal, interest, late charge or any other sum required to be made hereunder shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled payment or prepayment date, and without additional interest accruing thereon. If an Event of Default exists, the Holder may apply any Payments received to Principal, interest, late charges or other amounts due from the Borrower, including Contingent Interest, in such order as Holder, in its sole discretion shall determine.
8. Prepayment. The Principal Balance of this Note may be prepaid subject to the conditions set forth in the Master Loan Agreement.
9. Security. The payment and performance of this Note is secured by that certain Security Agreement made by Borrower for the benefit of Holder, dated July ____, 2018, under which Borrower has granted to Holder a security interest in the Collateral, including, but not limited to the Equipment (the “Security Agreement”). This Note is executed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Loan Agreement wherein Borrower is issuing this Note to Holder and Holder is lending the Principal sum of the Note to Borrower.
10. Default. If (i) a default be made in any payment when due in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note, or (ii) an Event of Default occurs under the Master Loan Agreement or the Security Agreement (any of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) being herein singularly and collectively referred to as a “Default”), the entire Principal Balance together with accrued interest thereon and all other charges, including Contingent Interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Holder.
11. Time of Essence; No Waiver. Time is of the essence. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right of any other remedy under this Note. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on a future occasion. All rights and remedies of Holder under the terms of this Note, under the terms of the Master Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement and under any statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently.
12. Costs of Collection. In the event of any Default hereunder Borrower agrees to reimburse Holder for the costs of collection, including arbitration and court costs (if any) and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting the indebtedness secured hereby, or in exercising or defending, or obtaining the right to exercise, the rights of Holder hereunder, under the Master Loan Agreement, under the Security Agreement or under any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and in bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization and other debtor-relief proceedings in other court proceedings brought in accordance with the Master Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, and all costs and expenses incurred by Holder in protecting or preserving the property or interests which are subject to the Master Loan Agreement or the Security Agreement.
13. Waiver of Presentment, Etc. Except as otherwise required under this Note, the Master Loan Agreement or the Security Agreement, demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of intent to foreclose on any collateral securing this Note, all other notices as to this Note, diligence in collection as to each and every payment due hereunder, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold such person or entity to any obligation hereunder are waived. Consent is given to any renewal, any release of all or any part of the security given for the payment hereof, any acceptance of additional security of any kind, and any release of, or resort to, any party liable for payment hereof.
14. Use of Proceeds. The Principal advanced under this Note is to be used for the purposes set forth in the Master Loan Agreement and in consideration of the promises, representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein and in the Master Loan Agreement and related documents.
15. Authorization. This Note is issued by Borrower, pursuant to and in full compliance with the formation and organizational documents of Borrower and an authorizing resolution of the Borrower.
16. Governing Law. This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to conflict of law principles, and applicable federal law. Whenever possible, each provision of this Note and any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, but, if any provision of this Note or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating hereto shall be held to be prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with a valid provision the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT
FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
The undersigned, the __________________ of _____________________ (the “Borrower”), being duly authorized, hereby delivers this Solvency Certificate to PDS Gaming LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(xiii) of the Master Loan Agreement, dated as of [____________], 20___ (as the same may be amended, supplemented, replaced, renewed or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Master Loan Agreement”), by and between the Borrower and the Lender. Terms with initial capital letters used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Master Loan Agreement.
The undersigned hereby certifies as of the date hereof, in the undersigned’s capacity as an officer of the Borrower, as follows:
1. I have responsibility for the management and financial affairs of the Borrower and the preparation of the financial statements of the Borrower.
2. I have carefully prepared and/or reviewed the contents of this Solvency Certificate and have conferred with counsel for the Borrower for the purpose of discussing the meaning of any provisions hereof that I desired to have clarified.
3. In preparation for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Master Loan Agreement, I have caused to be prepared and/or reviewed pro forma income projections, cash flow projections, and balance sheet projections for the term of the Loan for the Borrower after giving effect to the Loan, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”).
4. Based upon the foregoing and upon the best of my knowledge after due diligence, I have concluded as follows:
(a) The Borrower is not, and the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Master Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder, the extension of credit made under the Master Loan Agreement, will not render the Borrower insolvent under generally accepted accounting principles nor render it “insolvent” as defined in the following sentence. I understand that in this context, “insolvent,” with respect to the Borrower would mean that the sum of such Person’s debts is greater than all of such Person’s assets, at fair valuation. I also understand that the term “debts” includes any liability, whether or not reduced to judgment, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed or undisputed, legal or equitable, and secured or unsecured. This conclusion is supported by the pro forma balance sheets included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements, which reflect that, as of the date thereof, the Borrower’s asset value is $__________ and that the Borrower’s debts are $__________.
(b) Giving effect to the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Master Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations thereunder, the Borrower will, based upon the Pro Forma Financial Statements and the assumptions contained therein, not have inadequate capitalization or unreasonably small assets in relation to its business as currently or proposed to be conducted or the transactions contemplated by the Master Loan Agreement. In reaching this conclusion, I understand that “inadequate capitalization” or “unreasonably small assets” depends upon the nature of a company’s business and I have reached my conclusion in light of the needs and anticipated needs for funds in the business anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower in light of the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
(c) The Borrower does not intend to incur, and in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Master Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations thereunder, the Borrower will not incur debts beyond its ability to pay them as they mature. In this regard, I have based my conclusion, in part, upon the Pro Forma Financial Statements, which demonstrate that the Borrower will have positive cash flow after paying all of its scheduled and anticipated debts. I have concluded that the realization from current assets in the ordinary and usual course of business, together with other financial resources that are reasonably expected to be available to the Borrower, will be sufficient to pay recurring current debt, short-term debt and long-term debt service as such debts require and that such cash flow and other resources will be sufficient to repay the Loan made under the Master Loan Agreement and other debts as such debts mature.
(d) The Borrower has not executed the Master Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or made any transfer or incurred any obligations thereunder, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors.
5. I understand that the Lender is relying materially on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing in connection with the extension of credit to the Borrower under the Master Loan Agreement.
I have executed this Solvency Certificate as of the ___ day of __________, 20___.
