Secured Party with any additional security agreements or financing statements
necessary for the perfection of Secured Party's security interest in the
Collateral. If the Collateral is wholly or partly affixed to real estate or
installed in or affixed to other goods, Debtor will, on demand of Secured Party,
use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish Secured Party with landlord's
waivers, signed by all Persons or entities having an interest in the real estate
or other goods to which the Collateral may have become affixed, permitting the
Secured Party or the Trustee to have access to the Collateral at all reasonable
times and granting the Secured Party or the Trustee a reasonable period of time

remedies given by law or in equity. The exercise by Secured Party of any one or
more of the rights, powers and remedies herein shall not be construed as a
waiver of any other rights, powers and remedies, including, without limitation,
any other rights of set-off (which set-off rights may be exercised only after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). If any of the
Obligations are given in renewal, extension for any period or rearrangement, or
applied toward the payment of debt secured by any Lien, Secured Party shall be,
and is hereby, subrogated to all the rights, titles, interests and liens
securing the debt so renewed, extended, rearranged or paid.

Section 5.04. Disclaimer of Certain Duties.
----------------------------
(a) The powers conferred upon Secured Party by this Agreement are to
protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Debtor hereby agrees that
Secured Party shall not be liable for, nor shall the indebtedness evidenced
by the Obligations be diminished by, Secured Party's delay or failure to
collect upon, foreclose, sell, take possession of or otherwise obtain value
for the Collateral. Nothing herein shall affect any obligation of Secured
Party to the Holders under the Indenture or under applicable law.
(b) Except as may be required by the Indenture, and to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party shall be under no duty
whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest,
demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection
with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps reasonably
necessary to preserve any rights against any Obligor, Account Debtor or
other Person. Debtor waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and
all Collateral, and waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed
against any Obligor, Account Debtor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral
or enforce any other remedy which Secured Party now has or may hereafter
have against any Obligor or other Person.
Section 5.05. Modification of Obligations: Other Security. Except as
--------------------------------------------
specifically provided for in the Indenture, Debtor waives (i) any and all notice
of acceptance, creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for
any period of any instrument executed by any Obligor in connection with the
Obligations and (ii) any defense of any Obligor by reason of disability, lack of
authorization, cessation of the liability of any Obligor or for any other
reason. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, without notice or demand and without
any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor's
liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to (x) after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the
acceleration of the Senior Secured Notes, apply the Collateral in the manner
permitted by this Agreement or the Indenture and (y) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the acceleration of the
Senior Secured Notes, renew, extend for any period, accelerate, amend or modify,
supplement, enforce, compromise, settle, waive or release the obligations of any
Obligor or any instrument or agreement of such other Person with respect to any
or all of the Obligations or Collateral.
ARTICLE 6.
----------
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
-----------------
Section 6.01. Events. It shall constitute an Event of Default under this
------
Agreement if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture.
Section 6.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
--------
any Event of Default, Secured Party may take any or all of the following actions
without notice (except where expressly required below or in the Indenture) or
demand to Debtor:
11
(a) Declare all or part of the indebtedness pursuant to the
Obligations immediately due and payable and enforce payment of the same by
Debtor or any Obligor.
(b) Take possession of the Collateral, or at Secured Party's request
Debtor shall, at Debtor's cost, assemble the Collateral and make it
available at a location to be specified by Secured Party which is
reasonably convenient to Debtor and Secured Party. In any event, Debtor
shall bear the risk of accidental loss or damage to or diminution in value
of the Collateral, and Secured Party shall have no liability whatsoever for
failure to obtain or maintain insurance, nor to determine whether any
insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or as to risk insured.
(c) Sell, in one or more sales and in one or more parcels, or
otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or
in any other commercially reasonable manner as Secured Party may elect, in
a public or private transaction, at any location as deemed reasonable by
Secured Party (including, without limitation, Debtor's premises), for cash
at such price as Secured Party may deem fair, and (unless prohibited by the
Code, as adopted in any applicable jurisdiction) Secured Party may be the
purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and may apply upon the purchase
price therefor any Obligations secured hereby. Any such sale or transfer
by Secured Party either to itself or to any other Person shall be
absolutely free from any claim of right by Debtor, including any equity or
right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Debtor has or may have under
any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.
Upon any such sale or transfer, Secured Party shall have the right to
deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the
Collateral so sold or transferred. It shall not be necessary that the
Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of any such sale
or transfer. Secured Party may, at its discretion, provide for a public
sale, and any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may
fix in the notice of such sale. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale by announcement
at any time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may be made at any
time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the event any sale
or transfer hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of
Secured Party, such sale or transfer shall not exhaust the rights of
Secured Party hereunder, and Secured Party shall have the right to cause
one or more subsequent sales or transfers to be made hereunder. If only
part of the Collateral is sold or transferred such that the Obligations
remain outstanding (in whole or in part), Secured Party's rights and
remedies hereunder shall not be exhausted, waived or modified, and Secured
Party is specifically empowered to make one or more successive sales or
transfers until all the Collateral shall be sold or transferred and all the
Obligations are paid. In the event that Secured Party elects not to sell
the Collateral, Secured Party retains its rights to lease or otherwise
dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any
manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the
proceeds of the same towards payment of the Obligations. Each and every
method of disposition of the Collateral described in this subsection or in
subsection (f) shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable
manner.
(d) Take possession of all books and records of Debtor pertaining to
the Collateral. Secured Party shall have the authority to enter upon any
real property or
12
improvements thereon in order to obtain any such books or records, or any
Collateral located thereon, and remove the same therefrom without
liability.
(e) Apply proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral to the
Obligations in any manner elected by Secured Party and permitted by the
Code or otherwise permitted by law or in equity and in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture. Such application may include, without
limitation, the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for
sale or other disposition, and the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses incurred by Secured Party.
(f) Appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary
or incident to any sale or transfer by Secured Party of the Collateral.
Additionally, any sale or transfer hereunder may be conducted by an
auctioneer or any officer or agent of Secured Party.
(g) Execute, assign and endorse negotiable and other instruments for
the payment of money, documents of title or other evidences of payment,
shipment or storage for any form of Collateral on behalf of and in the name
of Debtor.
(h) Notify or require Debtor to notify Account Debtors that the
Accounts have been assigned to Secured Party and direct such Account
Debtors to make payments on the Accounts directly to Secured Party. To the
extent Secured Party does not so elect, Debtor shall continue to collect
the Accounts. Secured Party or its designee shall also have the right, in
its own name or in the name of Debtor, to do any of the following: (i) to
demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise any amounts due, give
acquittances for, prosecute or defend any action which may be in relation
to any monies due, or to become due by virtue of, the Accounts; (ii) to
sell, transfer or assign or otherwise deal in the Accounts or the proceeds
thereof or the related goods, as fully and effectively as if Secured Party
were the absolute owner thereof; (iii) to extend the time of payment of any
of the Accounts, to grant waivers and make any allowance or other
adjustment with reference thereto; (iv) to take control of cash and other
proceeds of any Collateral; (v) to send a request for verification of
Accounts to any Account Debtor; and (vi) to do all other acts and things
necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
(i) Exercise all other rights and remedies permitted by law or in
equity.
Section 6.03. Attorney-in-Fact. Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints
----------------
Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in
Secured Party's discretion upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, but at Debtor's cost and expense and without notice to Debtor:
(a) To obtain, adjust, sell and cancel any insurance with respect to
the Collateral, and endorse any draft drawn by insurers of the Collateral.
Secured Party may apply any proceeds or unearned premiums of such insurance
to the Obligations (whether or not due).
(b) To take any action and to execute any assignment, certificate,
financing statement, notification, document or instrument which Secured
Party may reasonably
13
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all
instruments made payable to Debtor representing any payment or other
distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give
full discharge for the same.
Section 6.04. Account Debtors. Any payment or settlement of an Account
---------------
made by an Account Debtor will be, to the extent of such payment or to the
extent provided under such settlement, a release, discharge and acquittance of
the Account Debtor with respect to such Account, and Debtor shall take any
action as may reasonably be required by Secured Party in connection therewith.
No Account Debtor on any Account will ever be bound to make inquiry as to the
termination of this Agreement or the rights of Secured Party to act hereunder,
but shall be fully protected by Debtor in making payment directly to Secured
Party.
Section 6.05. Liability for Deficiency. If any sale or other disposition
------------------------
of Collateral by Secured Party or any other action of Secured Party hereunder
results in reduction of the Obligations, such action will not release Debtor
from its liability to Secured Party for any unpaid Obligations, including costs,
charges and expenses incurred in the liquidation of Collateral, together with
interest thereon at the rate then applicable under the Indenture, and the same
shall be immediately due and payable to Secured Party at Secured Party's address
set forth in the Indenture.
Section 6.06. Reasonable Notice. If any applicable provision of any law
-----------------
requires Secured Party to give reasonable notice of any sale or disposition or
other action, Debtor hereby agrees that ten days' prior written notice shall
constitute reasonable notice thereof. Such notice, in the case of public sale,
shall state the time and place fixed for such sale and, in the case of private
sale, the time after which such sale is to be made.
Section 6.07. Non-judicial Enforcement. Secured Party may enforce its
------------------------
rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the
extent permitted by law Debtor expressly waives any and all legal rights which
might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process.
ARTICLE 7.
----------
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
------------------------
Section 7.01. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under
-------
or in connection with this Agreement shall be given in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Indenture.
Section 7.02. Amendments and Waivers. Secured Party's acceptance of
----------------------
partial or delinquent payments or any forbearance, failure or delay by Secured
Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed a
waiver of any obligation of Debtor or any Obligor, or of any right, power or
remedy of Secured Party; and no partial exercise of any right, power or remedy
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. Secured Party may remedy
any Event of Default hereunder or in connection with the Obligations without
waiving the Event of Default so remedied. Debtor hereby agrees that if Secured
Party agrees to a waiver of any provision hereunder, or an exchange of or
release of the Collateral, or the addition or release of
14
any Obligor or other Person, any such action shall not constitute a waiver of
any of Secured Party's other rights or of Debtor's obligations hereunder. This
Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed jointly by
Debtor and Secured Party and may be supplemented only by documents delivered or
to be delivered in accordance with the express terms hereof.
Section 7.03. Copy as Financing Statement. A photocopy or other
---------------------------
reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the
Collateral is sufficient as a financing statement, and the same may be filed
with any appropriate filing authority for the purpose of perfecting Secured
Party's security interest in the Collateral.
Section 7.04. Possession of Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to
------------------------
have possession of any Collateral in transit to it or set apart for it (or, in
either case, any of its agents, affiliates or correspondents).
Section 7.05. Redelivery of Collateral. If any sale or transfer of
------------------------
Collateral by Secured Party results in full satisfaction of the Obligations, and
after such sale or transfer and discharge there remains a surplus of proceeds,
Secured Party will deliver to Debtor such excess proceeds in a commercially
reasonable time; provided, however, that Secured Party shall not be liable for
any interest, cost or expense in connection with any reasonable delay in
delivering such proceeds to Debtor.
Section 7.06. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the
---------------------------
security interest granted hereby shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York (except to the extent that the
laws of any other jurisdiction govern the perfection and priority of the
security interests granted hereby).
Section 7.07. Gaming Authority. Each of the provisions of this Agreement
----------------
is subject to, and shall be enforced in compliance with, any requirements
imposed by any applicable Gaming Authority.
Section 7.08. Continuing Security Agreement.
-----------------------------
(a) Except as may be expressly applicable pursuant to Section 9-505
of the Code, no action taken or omission to act by Secured Party hereunder,
including, without limitation, any action taken or inaction pursuant to
Section 6.02 hereof, shall be deemed to constitute a retention of the
Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations or otherwise to be in full
satisfaction of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall remain in full
force and effect, until Secured Party shall have applied payments
(including, without limitation, collections from Collateral) towards the
Obligations in the full amount then outstanding or until such subsequent
time as is hereinafter provided in subsection (b) below.
(b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of
the Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in
possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law
or equitable cause, then to such extent the Obligations so satisfied shall
be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been
received by Secured Party, and Secured Party's security interests, rights,
powers and remedies hereunder shall continue in full force and effect. In
such event, this Agreement
15
shall be automatically reinstated if it shall theretofore have been
terminated pursuant to Section 7.09.
Section 7.09. Termination. The grant of a security interest hereunder and
-----------
all of Secured Party's rights, powers and remedies in connection therewith shall
unless otherwise provided in the Indenture, the HWCC Security Agreement, or this
Agreement, remain in full force and effect until payment in full of (A) the
Note, (B) all obligations then due and owing under the Indenture, the Senior
Secured Notes and the Collateral Documents and (C) all other Obligations;
provided, however, that after receipt from the Debtor by the Trustee of a
request for a release of any Collateral permitted under the Indenture upon the
sale, transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition of such Collateral not
prohibited by the Indenture (and upon receipt by the Trustee of all proceeds of
such sale, transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition to the extent
required to be remitted to the Trustee under the Indenture or otherwise), such
Collateral shall be released from the lien and security interest created
hereunder in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and shall no longer
constitute Collateral. Upon the payment in full of (A) the Note, (B) all
obligations then due and owing under the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes and
the Collateral Documents, and (C) all other Obligations, the Debtor shall be
entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the
Collateral pledged by it as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied
pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reimbursement
and indemnification provisions of Section 4.07 and the provisions of subsection
7.08(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Upon any termination of this Agreement or release of any Collateral as
permitted by the Indenture and the HWCC Security Agreement, the Trustee will, at
the expense of the Debtor, execute and deliver to the Debtor such documents and
take such other actions as the Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the
termination of this Agreement or the release of such Collateral, as the case may
be. Any such action taken by the Trustee shall be without warranty by or
recourse to the Trustee, except as to the absence of any prior assignments by
the Trustee of its interests in the Collateral, and shall be at the expense of
the Debtor. The Trustee may conclusively rely on any certificate delivered to
it by the Debtor stating that the execution of such documents and release of the
Collateral is in accordance with and permitted by the terms of the Indenture and
this Agreement.
Section 7.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
---------------------------
in two or more counterparts. Each counterpart is deemed an original, but all
such counterparts taken together constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement becomes effective upon the execution hereof by Debtor and delivery of
the same to Secured Party, and it is not necessary for Secured Party to execute
any acceptance hereof or otherwise signify or express its acceptance hereof.
Section 7.11. Indenture. This Agreement is subject to the terms,
---------
conditions and provisions of the Indenture. To the extent a term or provision of
this Agreement conflicts with the Indenture, the Indenture shall control with
respect to the subject matter of such term or provision.
Section 7.12. Rights of Holders. No Holder of a Senior Secured Note shall
-----------------
have any independent rights hereunder other than those rights granted to
individual Holders of Senior Secured Notes pursuant to Section 6.07 of the
Indenture; provided that nothing in this Section
--------
16
7.12 shall limit any rights granted to the Trustee under the Senior Secured
Notes, the Indenture or the Collateral Documents.
Section 7.13. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and
-----------------------------------------------------------
Stockholders. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
------------
incorporator or stockholder of the Debtor as such or any successor Person, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Debtor under the
Notes, the Collateral Documents, this Agreement or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Section 7.14. Collateral Assignment. Of even date herewith, Secured Party
---------------------
has executed the HWCC Security Agreement in favor of the Trustee pursuant to
which the Secured Party grants to the Trustee a security interest in certain
collateral therein described, including but not limited to the Note and the
liens and security interests securing same. Debtor hereby consents to and
acknowledges the existence of the Trustee's security interest in the Note and
the liens and security interests securing same, including, but not limited to,
the liens and security interests granted by this Agreement.
