Equity, the satisfaction of the notice obligations under the Gaming Laws of Missouri with respect to this Agreement in the Missouri Gaming Pledged Equity, any amendment hereto or the pledge hereunder in the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity, the Mississippi Gaming Pledged Equity or the Missouri Gaming Pledged Equity, does not constitute approval, either express or implied, of the Collateral Agent to take any actions provided for in this Agreement, for which separate approval by the Gaming Authorities or the satisfaction of separate notice provisions may be required by the Gaming Laws; and
(m) The Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities in their sole and absolute discretion, for licensing, a finding of suitability or other investigation authorized by the Gaming Laws in order to remain entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, any other Note Documents, and the Intercreditor Agreement, in each case with respect to the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity, the Mississippi Gaming Pledged Equity and the Missouri Gaming Pledged Equity.

(iv) Notwithstanding clauses (i) through (iii) above, nothing in this Agreement or any other Note Document prevents any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral to the extent permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that any of the foregoing actions is desirable in the conduct of its business.
(v) Within 60 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter each Grantor shall provide a list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of such Grantor not previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and the USCO with respect to Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral and file (with a written notification thereof to the Collateral Agent) at such time the short-form security agreement with respect to such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights with the USPTO or USCO, as applicable, and record such agreements in the USPTO assignment database or USCO, as applicable.

Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to applicable Gaming Laws and the Intercreditor Agreement, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all
rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of the Collateral Agent promptly, assign the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or a portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be subject to applicable Gaming Laws and shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or a portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with applicable Gaming Laws and the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver, subject to applicable Gaming Laws. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
The Collateral Agent shall exercise rights and remedies and sell the Collateral under the Collateral Documents only at the direction of the Required Holders; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten (10) days of a request from the applicable Secured Parties (or such shorter period as reasonably may be specified in such request or as may be necessary under the circumstances), it may, but shall be under no duty or obligation to take or refrain from taking such action and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds.
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order:
First, to pay incurred and unpaid reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Other Note Documents;
Second, ratably to the repayment in full in cash of the amount of Secured Obligations then outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, for application as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement;
Third, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, shall be paid over to the Company or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
If, despite the provisions of this Section 4.02(a), any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Section 4.02(a), such Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 4.02(a).
(b) If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 4.02.
(c) Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
(d) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied to or by the Collateral Agent by the Holders as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts (including Applicable Premium) outstanding with respect to the Obligations of the Note Parties under the Note Documents and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Collateral Agent of any amounts distributed to it.
SECTION 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement only after such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, beginning only at such time the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and not before, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of
Default) to use, license or, to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant license, sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral Agent to operate such license, sublicense and other rights, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registration and application for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.

Anything in this Section 5.15 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 5.15 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if the Collateral Agent is so directed. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein. No Secured Party shall be liable in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, as provided in this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement promptly upon written demand therefor by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 5.18. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 5.19. Deeds of Trust. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of a Deed of Trust and the terms thereof are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Deed of Trust shall control in the case of Fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall control in the case of all other Collateral.
SECTION 5.20. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any other Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
SECTION 5.21. Rights of the Collateral Agent.
(a) With respect to the Collateral Agent’s duties under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may act through its attorneys, accountants, experts, agents and such other professionals as the Collateral Agent deems necessary, advisable or appropriate and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney, accountant, expert, agent or other such professional appointed with due care.
(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or
a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation either prior to or after receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice so furnished to it.
(c) Whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Holders, as it deems appropriate. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall be responsible only for the performance of such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any action taken or not taken by it under this Agreement or with respect to any Collateral Documents at the request or direction of any Secured Party.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions shall govern the Collateral Agent’s rights, powers, obligations and duties under this Security Agreement:
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral Agent have any obligation to inquire or investigate as to the correctness, veracity, or content of any instruction pursuant to any other Collateral Document. In no event shall the Collateral Agent have any liability in respect of any such instruction received by it and relied on with respect to any action or omission taken pursuant thereto.
(ii) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its experts, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents (except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties (other than its own recitals, statements, representations or warranties) made in this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or
for any failure of the Grantors or any other Person to perform their obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain or to inquire as to (i) the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Grantors, (ii) whether or not any representation or warranty made by any Person in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral Documents is true, (iii) the performance by any Person of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or (iv) the breach of or default by any Person of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to (A) account to any Person for any sum or the profit element of any sum received for its own account; (B) disclose to any other Person any information relating to the Person if such disclosure would, or might, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any Person; (C) be under any fiduciary duties or obligations other than those for which express provision is made in this Agreement or in any of the other Collateral Documents to which it is a party; or (D) be required to take any action that it believes, based on advice of counsel, is in conflict with any applicable law, this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents, or any order of any court or administrative agency;
(iv) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(v) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for, nor incur any liability with respect to, (A) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interest in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, (B) the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, (C) the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, (D) insuring the Collateral or (E) the payment of taxes, charges or assessments upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents to the contrary, (A) in no event shall the Collateral Agent or any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of the Collateral Agent be liable under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits or loss of opportunity, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought; and (B) the
Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Agreement in all of the other Collateral Documents to which it is a signatory as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such Collateral Documents. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to invest any amounts received by it hereunder.
(vii) The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents (A) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent (which may be based on the opinion of legal counsel), be contrary to applicable law or any of the Collateral Documents or any other agreement referred to herein or therein, (B) if such action is not provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents, or the Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement, (C) if, in connection with the taking of any such action hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents that would constitute an exercise of remedies hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all risk of nonpayment, liability and expense that may be incurred by it, its agents or its counsel by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, or (D) if, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in connection with the taking of any such action that would constitute a payment due under any agreement or document, it shall not first have received from the Holders or the Grantors funds equal to the amount payable. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Holders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the other Holders.
(viii) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has received a written notice or a certificate from the Grantors stating that a Default has occurred. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such notice or certificate to inquire whether a Default has in fact occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice or certificate so furnished to it. No provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, any of the other Collateral Documents or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability including an advance of moneys necessary to perform work or to take the action requested is not reasonably assured to it, the Collateral Agent may decline to act unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction
where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.
(ix) Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, shall become a Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto except for written notice to the other parties hereto.
(x) The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent at any time upon at least 60 day’s written notice to the Holders and the Grantors (which may be extended up to 90 days upon reasonable request by the Grantors) and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Holders, with any such resignation or removal to become effective only upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this Section. If the Collateral Agent shall provide notice of its resignation or be removed as Collateral Agent, then the Required Holders or the Company may (and if no such successor shall have been appointed within 45 days of the Collateral Agent’s date of notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Agent or the Company may) appoint a successor Collateral Agent which successor agent shall, in the case of any appointment by the Collateral Agent, be reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent (except that the resigning Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral then in its possession to the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent such instruments of assignment and transfer and other similar documents as such successor Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or advisable (at the joint and several expense of the Grantors). After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent. In the event that a successor Collateral Agent is not appointed within the time period specified in this Section following the provision of a notice of resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Secured Party representing at least 10% of the principal amount of the Secured Obligations may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent (at the joint and several expense of the Grantors). Upon providing its notice of resignation as provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation with respect to, or liability for failure to, seek or obtain gaming licenses, seek or obtain gaming regulatory approvals, or comply with gaming commission conditions. In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to perform any obligation under any Collateral Document, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole determination may cause the Collateral Agent to incur potential liability under any environmental law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to resign as Collateral Agent.
(xi) Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact has made any representations or warranties to it (except as
expressly provided herein) and no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the Grantors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Secured Party. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Grantors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Grantors which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact.
(xii) In the event that the Collateral Agent is requested to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right to not follow such direction, to resign as Collateral Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred by the Collateral Agent’s refusal to take actions to acquire title or other actions that may result in it being considered an “owner or operator”.
(xiii) The Company shall indemnify the Collateral Agent (which for purposes of this Section shall include its officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents) against any and all claims, damage, losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement against the Company (including this Section) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Secured Party or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense has been determined in a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of their obligations
hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Collateral Agent shall cooperate in the defense. The Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel only if the defendants in any such action include both the Company and the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Company and the Collateral Agent in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The obligations of the Company under this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of the Note Purchase Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.
(xiv) In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Collateral Agent under any of the provisions of this Agreement, when the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Code.
(xv) In connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall also be entitled to all rights, protections and immunities granted to it under the Note Purchase Agreement. In the event of any conflict relating to such rights, protections or immunities, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
SECTION 5.22. U.S.A. Patriot Act.
The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Collateral Agent, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Collateral Agent. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Collateral Agent with such information as it may request in order for the Collateral Agent to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

FORM OF
SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT
SUPPLEMENT NO. dated as of [ ] (this “Supplement”), to that certain Security Agreement dated as of April 15, 2015 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among GLOBAL CASH ACCESS, INC. (the “Company”), the other Grantors from time to time party thereto and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties.
A. Reference is made to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 15, 2015 (as amended, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc., as parent, the purchasers party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Collateral Agent.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement, and if not defined therein, the Note Purchase Agreement.
C. Section 5.15 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Restricted Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Note Purchase Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.15 of the Security Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Subsidiary whether now existing or hereafter acquired. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Supplement. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary, and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.
SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all Collateral of the New Subsidiary, (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office, (c) Schedule I attached hereto sets forth a true and complete list, with respect to the New Subsidiary, of (i) all the Equity Interests owned by the New Subsidiary in any Person and the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Equity owned by the New Subsidiary and (ii) all the Pledged Debt owned by the New Subsidiary and (d) Schedule I attached hereto sets forth, as of the date hereof, each Commercial Tort Claim in respect of which a complaint or counterclaim has been filed by the New Subsidiary seeking damages in an amount of $1,000,000 or more. Schedule I shall be incorporated into, and after the date hereof be deemed part of, the Perfection Certificate.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement s shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.

Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Bank Security Agreement, the Notes Security Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Bank Security Agreement and the Notes Security Agreement (collectively, the “Security Agreements”), the Pledgor is granting, and any future Grantor may grant, a collateral security interest in the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity;
WHEREAS, pursuant to requirements of the Nevada Gaming Commission applicable to Equity Interests held by the Pledgor in entities that are licensed or registered with the Nevada Gaming Commission, the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity must be retained in escrow in the State of Nevada subject to the further requirements of the Nevada Gaming Commission and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the regulations adopted thereunder; and
WHEREAS, Escrow Agent is willing and able to serve as an escrow holder for such purposes, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
(1) Update to include any other Grantors holding Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity.
IT IS THEREFORE AGREED:
1. This Agreement is not intended to modify or amend the Security Agreements but only to direct the activities of Escrow Agent during the operation of the escrow. The Pledgor and the Bank Collateral Agent confirm that the copy of the Bank Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of the agreement to be executed and delivered by Pledgor and the Bank Collateral Agent concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and that there are no amendments or other documents or agreements thereto that may affect Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Pledgor and the Notes Collateral Agent confirm that the copy of the Notes Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of the agreement to be executed and delivered by Pledgor and the Notes Collateral Agent concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and that there are no amendments or other documents or agreements thereto that may affect Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. Escrow Agent has examined the Security Agreements and is empowered to perform such acts as are set forth in the Security Agreements.
2. On the date hereof, the Pledgor agrees to deliver to Escrow Agent the following share certificates (copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 2 to this Agreement) which constitute all of the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity as of the date hereof:

3. Escrow Agent agrees to retain the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity in a safe and secure fashion in its offices at [ ], Nevada [ ] (the “Collateral Location”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Security Agreements. The Pledgor shall notify the Nevada Gaming Commission of the initial Collateral Location. The Escrow Agent agrees (a) to provide the Pledgor and each Collateral Agent with thirty (30) days prior written notice of any anticipated or intended change of the Collateral Location during the term hereof (whether such change is made at the request of the Controlling Agent (as defined below) or otherwise), (b) not to move the certificates representing the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity to a new Collateral Location until the Pledgor notifies the Escrow Agent that the Nevada Gaming Commission has been notified by the Pledgor of such new location (and, where required, such Nevada Gaming Commission have approved the new location) and in any event only on the instructions of the Controlling Agent (or if required by court order) to do so, and (c) to make the certificates representing the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity available for inspection by agents or employees of the Nevada Gaming Commission or any applicable gaming authorities immediately upon request during normal business hours.
4. Pledgor and Bank Collateral Agent each consent to these arrangements and agree that Escrow Agent shall serve in such capacity subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Bank Security Agreement. Pledgor and Notes Collateral Agent each consent to these arrangements and agree that Escrow Agent shall serve in such capacity subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Notes Security Agreement.
5. Any action requested of Escrow Agent shall be made in writing by the Controlling Agent (each such requested action an “Escrow Instruction”) with a copy of any such Escrow Instruction sent to the other Collateral Agent as provided in the Security Agreements for notices. Subject to the foregoing, Escrow Agent is authorized to accept and rely on facsimile machine transmitted instructions from any party hereto. The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with such Escrow Instruction. The determination as to when a party shall have received any Escrow Instruction or a copy of an Escrow Instruction shall be determined in accordance with the determination of receipt of notices under the Security Agreements. Subject to paragraph 6 below, the Escrow Agent agrees that it shall accept instructions or directions with respect to the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity from the Controlling Agent, and shall disregard any instructions or directions from the Pledgor or its respective affiliates; provided, however, that the Controlling Agent shall forward to the Pledgor a copy of any such instructions or directions given by the Controlling Agent to the Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days of its delivery thereof; provided, further however, that the failure to forward such instructions or directions to the Pledgor shall not affect the Escrow Agent’s right and obligation to comply with such instructions or directions from the Controlling Agent. As used in this Agreement, the term “Controlling Agent” means the Bank Collateral Agent until such time as the Escrow Agent has received written notice from the Bank Collateral Agent stating in substance that henceforth the Notes Collateral Agent will be Controlling Agent (a “Change Notice”), at which time the Notes Collateral Agent will replace the Bank Collateral Agent as Controlling Agent.
6. If Escrow Agent receives written objection to any Escrow Instruction, Escrow Agent shall promptly confirm with such other Collateral Agent that it has received a copy of such objection and, if the Collateral Agents fail to resolve or compromise the conflicting claims as to the applicable Escrow Instruction within ten (10) days after receipt of such objection by the other, non-objecting Collateral Agent, Escrow Agent, of its own initiative or at the request of either Collateral Agent, may upon notice to and compliance with any requirements of the Nevada Gaming Board deposit the Nevada Gaming Pledge Equity held in the escrow account with Eighth Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada for decision with respect to the requested action until the conflict is resolved.
7. Upon delivery of the certificates representing the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity to the Escrow Agent, the security interest of each Collateral Agent in such certificates shall be perfected under Article 8 and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Nevada. Upon delivery or transfer of the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity into the District Court, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability to either party with respect to the escrow Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity.
8. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibilities to Pledgor and Collateral Agents except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Escrow Instructions and shall not be responsible for the performance of Pledgor or any Collateral Agent of any obligation set forth in the Security Agreements. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Nevada Gaming Pledged Equity should be delivered to the Pledgor or the Controlling Agent under the terms of the Security Agreements but shall rely only on the written instructions of the parties or, if applicable, the order of any court having jurisdiction over the matter. No implied duties or responsibilities of Escrow Agent shall be read into the Escrow Instructions. Pledgor shall indemnify, defend, and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all liability,
cost, and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) and including specifically but without limitation any legal or other expenses with respect to any action for interpleader or similar action by Escrow Agent, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance by Escrow Agent under the provisions of this Agreement or any Escrow Instructions, excepting any liability, cost or expense arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal proceeding in connection herewith. The indemnifications provided herein shall survive termination of this Agreement. Escrow Agent may consult with its counsel with respect to Escrow Agent’s performance under the provisions of these Escrow Instructions, and Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with advice of such counsel, excepting any liability, cost or expense arising out of the bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent.
9. Escrow Agent may resign and discharge itself of the obligations created hereby by sending written notice thereof to Pledgor and Collateral Agents not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date such notice specifies as the date upon which Escrow Agent’s resignation shall take effect. Pledgor and the Controlling Agent provided that if the Notes Collateral Agent is the Controlling Agent at the time, then the Pledgor and the requisite percentage of Holders or Secured Parties (acting in accordance with the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Notes Security Agreement) shall work in good faith to reach agreement on the appointment of, and to appoint, a successor escrow agent by the effective time of any resignation of the Escrow Agent. Should such successor escrow agent not be so appointed by the effective time of the Escrow Agent’s resignation, a successor escrow agent shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction upon the petition of Escrow Agent. Any successor escrow agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Escrow Agent, Pledgor and Collateral Agents a written instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor escrow agent, without further action on its part, shall become substituted in the place and stead of Escrow Agent hereunder. Escrow Agent, upon being paid in full all sums due to it hereunder (including without limitation all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the petition to appoint the successor escrow agent), shall immediately transfer to the successor agent all monies, notices, and other documents held by Escrow Agent hereunder against the receipt of such escrow agent therefor and shall thereupon be fully released and discharged from any further liability and/or responsibility hereunder.
10. These Escrow Instructions shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada and the regulations of the Nevada Gaming Commission. As to Escrow Agent, this Agreement and any Escrow Instructions constitute the entire agreements among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous instructions and undertakings of the parties in connection herewith; it being understood that the foregoing shall not alter, amend, modify or affect the continued validity of the Security Agreements and the agreements contemplated therein and thereby. All of the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement and any Escrow Instructions shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, legatees, devisees, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, and permitted assigns. No failure or delay on the part of a party hereto in exercising any right, power, or remedy afforded it hereunder may be, or may deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power, or
remedy. The invalidity of any provisions hereof shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.
11. These Escrow Instructions may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
12. Escrow Agent shall be paid by the Pledgor an administrative fee of [·](2) Dollars ($[·]) per year, payable in advance, for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. The expenses and fees of Escrow Agent in maintaining this escrow shall be paid by Pledgor.
