SIXTH
AMENDMENT TO REDEMPTION TECHNOLOGY AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This SIXTH
AMENDMENT TO REDEMPTION TECHONOLOGY AND SUPPLY
AGREEMENT
(the “Sixth Amendment”) is entered into effective March 29, 2006 (“Effective
Date”), by and between Bally Gaming Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Bally”) and
Spectre Gaming, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Spectre”). Bally and Spectre may
be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” The
Parties hereby agree that the Redemption Technology and Supply Agreement dated
May 24, 2005, along with all amendments thereto (collectively the “Amended
Agreement”) shall be amended in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Sixth Amendment. All capitalized terms and conditions used herein
shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Amended Agreement unless
specifically defined otherwise in this Sixth Amendment. All other existing
terms
and conditions of the Amended Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
The Amended Agreement as entered into by the Parties shall be amended as
follows.
I.
Now,
therefore, the parties agree that the following provisions listed immediately
below in Part I of this Sixth Amendment shall unconditionally become effective
and deemed incorporated into the Amended Agreement as of the Effective Date
or
shall otherwise become effective between the parties as of the Effective
Date:
1.
Spectre
agrees to purchase 175 ERUs from Bally by April 30,
2006.
2.Bally
will use its best efforts to defer or cancel all purchases of unique parts
ordered as of the Effective Date that are intended for use in production of
ERUs
for Spectre . Bally will not require Spectre to fund any payments for the
Bally’s purchase unique parts required for manufacturing ERUs for Spectre, until
such time as Bally’s purchase of such unique parts can no longer be deferred in
order to meet production schedules for the Spectre ERUs, however, concurrently
with the execution of this Sixth Amendment, Spectre shall make a non-refundable
deposit of 25,000 to Bally which will be used to defer or cancel unique parts
ordered as of the Effective Date of this Sixth Amendment. Spectre agrees to
have
a line of credit of $400,000 available by April 30, 2006, which shall be used
as
a deposit from Spectre for Bally’s purchase of unique parts for the ERUs
produced for Spectre and from which Bally may draw upon to order unique parts
for production commitments for ERUs already made. This parts deposit shall
be
applied by Bally at the rate of $1,000 for each individual ERU delivered to
Spectre, excluding the 175 ERUs referred to in Section 1 of this Sixth Amendment
, above, and any subsequent order of ERU’s from Bally until this deposit has
been exhausted.
3. Spectre
agrees that if it continues in the AWP business after the first 175 units are
delivered and deployed by Spectre, that the first 1,825 new ERU units (for
a
total of 2,000 units) Spectre orders shall be purchased from Bally. At such
time
as Spectre orders new ERUs from Bally, Spectre will enter into a credit
facility(ies) sufficient to allow Spectre the ability to pay for the ERU’s then
ordered. Additionally, at such time as Spectre orders new ERU’s from Bally,
Spectre will provide additional monies for deposit to be used by Bally to
acquire special and unique parts, consistent with the use set forth in Section
2
of this Sixth Amendment, above. Bally will promptly apply all monies on deposit
for unique parts, at the time of Spectre’s placement of the order for ERUs, at
the consistent rate of $1,000 per unit. All monies deposited with Bally must
be
used by Bally solely for Bally’s purchase of unique and specific parts to be
used by Bally in manufacturing a total of 2,000 ERUs, including the 175 units,
for Spectre. Spectre agrees that the credit facility for the initial $400,000
deposit described in Section 2, above, will be established and in place no
later
than April 30, 2006. Without a PDS credit facility, or a Bally approved
alternate credit facility in place, no subsequent order (after the initial
175
games) for games shall be accepted by Bally.

4. Spectre
acknowledges that its present intent is to purchase the next 2,000 new ERUs
from
Bally, of which the 175 ERUs referred to in Section 1 of this Sixth Amendment,
above, is a part, and Bally agrees to maintain prices for all such orders placed
by Spectre no later than July 31, 2006, at the following rates: (a) $8,700
per
ERU for an order of 1,600 CineVision style cabinet ERUs, and $7,000 per ERU
for
400 Bally Slim-line Upright style ERUs. All existing purchase orders from
Spectre for such ERU products existing prior to the Effective Date of this
Sixth
Amendment, other than the order for the 175 ERUs referred to in Section 1 of
this Sixth Amendment above, shall be deemed canceled by Bally, and may be
resubmitted by Spectre to Bally at Spectre’s discretion in accordance with this
Section 4 of this Sixth Amendment, provided Spectre is in compliance with all
of
the terms and conditions of this Sixth Amendment.
5. Spectre
will be responsible for purchasing and incorporating certain parts of the ERUs
unique to Spectre consisting of a Smart card reader and harness, new coin
mechanism, Glass, stands and chairs.
6. Bally
agrees to provide Spectre, with a production forecast and delivery order for
the
balance of the 2,000 ERU order, at such time as the order is placed and Spectre
has met all finance conditions,
and in the event Bally does not meet any such delivery dates provided to Spectre
within 20 business days following the estimated delivery date, Spectre shall
be
entitled to a 5% discount on any ERUs not delivered within this time period.
Bally agrees that the financing term letter agreement attached as an addendum
to
this Sixth Amendment if fully executed by Spectre and PDS Gaming Corporation,
will be deemed to satisfy requirements of Bally’s Credit and Finance Committee
in reaching a determination to process and fulfill this ERU order from
Spectre.
7. Bally
agrees that in the event Spectre manufactures or enters into an agreement with
a
third party for the manufacturing of a cabinet for an ERU and Spectre elects
to
not use authorized Bally game content for these particular ERUs, Bally will
sell
Spectre an Alpha Board™ for such cabinets for the total price of $3,700 per
Alpha Board™, less
the
amount of fees per Alpha Board™ spent by Spectre in obtaining game content or
design from a third party with such amount not to exceed $500 per Alpha Board™.
Spectre shall provide Bally with written proof of such amounts spent by Spectre
with third parties to obtain game content or design that will meet Bally’s
reasonable satisfaction. All other terms in the Agreement for the purchase
Alpha
Board™ boards will remain in effect. Bally acknowledges and approves Spectre’s
agreement with Global Gaming Group for content development.
8. Bally
agrees to provide Spectre with a credit in the amount of $187,500 for any
licensed titles previously purchased by Spectre from Bally that amount shall
be
applied solely as a reduction against Enabling Fee payments that are due to
Bally from Spectre under the Amended Agreement in calendar years 2007 and 2008.
The amount of this credit shall be applied in equal proportion through 2007
and
2008. Both parties agree that this is the sole use of these licenses and that
there is no further obligation from Bally for their use.
9. Bally
and
Spectre are parties to a Promissory Note dated
September 9, 2005 and executed by Spectre on September 13, 2005 (the “Note”).
Bally
agrees to defer the second $750,000 installment payment due and owing under
the
Note on March 29, 2006 until June 30, 2006. In the event Spectre does not make
this second $750,000 payment to Bally in full by June 30, 2006, Spectre shall
have 30 days to cure such default and if this non-payment default is not cured
in this 30 day extension time period, Spectre shall be in default of the Amended
Agreement without any further requirement of any notice from Bally, written
or
other, and Bally shall be permitted to immediately exercise any and all remedies
against Spectre available to Bally that may exist in contract, at law or in
equity as a result of such default.

On the
Effective Date, Spectre shall deposit and place all such source code created
by
the parties (the “Source Escrow”) for use with the ERUs with a lawful source
code escrow agent, and thereafter Spectre shall continually update this deposit
in the Source Escrow at the end of each calendar quarter starting after the
Effective Date, for as long as the Amended Agreement is in force between Bally
and Spectre. The Parties agree that the source code deposited by Spectre shall
not include any component or original part of Spectre’s intellectual property
known as “Streamline Technology”, or also known as “Co-Operative Group Gaming”
technology, whether or not the Streamline Technology is incorporated into the
source code deposited by Spectre. However, all other aspects of source code
created by Spectre shall be deposited into the Source Escrow as described in
this section. This Source Escrow shall be established by Spectre no later than
April 30, 2006, and Bally agrees to provide all reasonable assistance that
may
be required by Spectre to establish this Source Escrow.
11. Bally
and
Spectre shall enter into any additional documentation required to establish
the
Source Escrow. In the event Spectre is in default of any of the terms and
conditions of the Amended Agreement, the source code escrow agent will be
directed to release the source code created by Spectre to Bally and Bally shall
have the full rights to use any source code released in any manner deemed
applicable by Bally, including but not limited to sublicensing to third parties.
12. Spectre
may employ or otherwise utilize third parties in developing content and
technology for Spectre’s use of the ERUs using Bally Enabling Technology, and
Bally consents to work performed by such third parties provided that (a) any
such third parties will enter into and execute with Bally directly appropriate
nondisclosure agreements and any other documentation required by Bally prior
to
undertaking such work, and (b) Bally shall provide written consent prior to
any
third parties starting such work for Spectre, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
13. Spectre
acknowledges and agrees that in addition to payments owed to Bally by Spectre
under the Note, Spectre currently owes Bally the amount of $133,010 resulting
from various business transactions with Bally (the “Receivable”). Spectre agrees
that the Receivable will be paid in full to Bally and also that Spectre will
become current on all other accounts receivable owed by Spectre to Bally as
of
the Effective Date of this Sixth Amendment, regardless of whether or not arising
under the Amended Agreement or any other agreement(s) entered into between
Bally
and Spectre, no later than March 31, 2006.
14. Bally
and
Spectre agree that, subject to certain conditions that may be imposed by
operators, all Spectre ERUs deployed as Amusement With Prize (“AWP”) units at
third party retail locations conducting the operation of ERU for the first
time
at these third retail party locations (“New Locations’) will require the use of
a Redemption and Fulfillment system provided by Bally (the “Redemption System”),
with any gross profit after reasonable costs (the “Gross Profit,” which shall be
defined by the parties) to be split with Bally receiving seventy-five percent
(75%) of the Gross Profit and Spectre receiving twenty-five (25%) of the Gross
Profit generated through this use of the Redemption System. In other third
party
retail locations that are already operating AWP machines (“Existing Locations”),
Spectre may allow these Existing Locations a period of 90 days after
installation of the ERUs (or a longer period of time for particular Existing
Location if agreed upon by Bally and Spectre) in order for the Existing Location
to transition to using the Bally Redemption System on Spectre ERU’s. Spectre may
offer to the retail outlets, up to five percent (5%) of the amount redeemed
for
Bally merchandise prizes, other than Visa cards or other cash based low margin
items. Bally will lease Redemption Kiosks to operators through Spectre at a
charge of $25 per day and will be included as income in the calculation of
gross
profit.

15. Bally
and
Spectre agree that if Spectre does not have at least 1,000 ERUs placed in
operation and operating in the state of Texas by June 30, 2007, then Spectre
shall forego and forfeit any and all rights Spectre may have to distribute
Bally
VLT’s in the state of Texas as described in the Amended Agreement, however this
1,000 unit amount shall include those ERUs ordered by Spectre and accepted
by
Bally and also approved by Bally’s credit committee no later than March 31,
2007. On
a
monthly basis, Spectre shall provide Bally with a then-current six month rolling
product plan for placing ERUs in the state of Texas that will reasonably
forecast orders anticipated by Spectre in order to allow Bally’s Credit
Committee the opportunity to timely approve orders by Spectre.
16. The
parties acknowledge that Spectre has made material changes to the Enabling
Technology since its delivery to Spectre. Bally is not responsible for the
material changes made by Spectre to the Enabling Technology, or the impact
of
such changes to the Enabling Technology as delivered, which changes are the
sole
responsibility and property of Spectre. Bally has worked with Spectre prior
to
the Effective Date of this Sixth Amendment and will continue to work with
Spectre, in Spectre’s efforts and responsibilities to commercialize the Enabling
Technology, but any such services provided by Bally under the Transition
Services provided for Spectre as described in Exhibit D to the Redemption
Technology and Supply Agreement dated May 24, 2005 to date and after June 30,
2006 will be done on a consultancy basis.. Additionally, Bally agrees to extend
the Transition Services provided for Spectre as described in Exhibit D to the
Redemption Technology and Supply Agreement dated May 24, 2005, until June 30,
2006, provided that Spectre meets all obligations required of Spectre in this
Sixth Amendment. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 11, Bally
shall continue at all times to timely provide Spectre with information known
to
Bally concerning the Enabling Technology and all software and source codes
related thereto.
17. As
an
additional incentive for the Parties to develop new modules, features and
versions of the Enabling Technology, Bally and Spectre mutually agree to discuss
and negotiate in good faith a plan and practice of registering and perfecting
intellectual property registrations and filings for such new developments of
features of the Enabling Technology, at cost and budget levels mutually agreed
upon by the Parties, which amount shall be paid equally by Bally and Spectre
and
shall not exceed $250,000 annually.
18. The
Term
of the Amended Agreement (the “Term”) shall continue through the Effective Date
of this Sixth Amendment and shall expire on June 30, 2008, unless sooner
terminated as provided hereunder or as otherwise provided in the Amended
Agreement. Additionally, the Amended Agreement shall be subject to a Term
Extension if the following conditions are met by Spectre.

II.
Bally
and
Spectre acknowledge and agree that the following provisions listed immediately
below in Part II of this Sixth Amendment shall only become effective between
the
parties and amend the Amended Agreement on the date that Spectre has strictly
met all of the conditions set forth below (the “Conditions”). The Conditions to
be satisfied by Spectre are as follows:
First
Condition. Spectre
must raise no less than $3,000,000 in equity or debt financing obtained for
Spectre Gaming, Inc., in full compliance with all Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and public stock listing exchange laws, rules and regulations
and have this $3,000,000 amount available in cash or equivalents no later than
June 30, 2006, with one thirty day extension period as described in Section
5 of
this Sixth Amendment, above.
Second
Condition. Spectre
must make all interest payments in full that are owed to Bally arising under
the
“Note” and pursuant to the Amended Agreement, as owed by Spectre on the
Effective Date of this Sixth Amendment no later than March 31, 2006 and June
30,
2006.
In
the
event Spectre meets these Conditions in their entirety and to Bally’s reasonable
satisfaction, the following provisions of this Sixth Amendment shall become
effective; otherwise, if the Spectre does not strictly satisfy the Conditions
as
set forth herein the following provisions shall be of no force and effect
between the parties.
1. On
July
31, 2006, or earlier if the Conditions are satisfied prior to July 31, 2006,
Spectre may, at its option, choose to either, (i) satisfy the Note in its
entirety by making a lump sum payment of an amount equal to seventy five percent
(75%) of the then-remaining principal balance of the Note as of July 31, 2006,
plus 100% of any accrued interest on the original principal balance, or (ii)
provide notice to Bally for Bally to restructure the Note which will require
Bally to enter into a restated note with Spectre that will defer the $750,000
principal payments due March 29, 2006 and September 29, 2006, and require that
Spectre’s repayments to Bally during this period will be interest only at the
rate of 12% per annum on the entire amount of outstanding principal, both
deferred and as may be due in normal course, until December 31, 2006, and with
all such accrued interest payments due in four installments on April 30, 2006,
June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, and with the entire
amount of outstanding principal, both deferred and as may be due in normal
course, along with 12% annual interest thereon, to be paid over 18 months in
18
equal monthly payments of principal and interest starting on January 31, 2007,
and concluding on June 30, 2008.
2. Bally
and
Spectre will agree that the daily fee of $3 per day as an ongoing royalty under
Section 7(b) of the May 24, 2005 Redemption Technology and Supply Agreement
will
be eliminated and replaced with an annual royalty licensee fee structure. On
the
first day of each calendar year described below, Spectre will have the option
of
paying an annual royalty license fee in full in lieu of the original ongoing
royalty fee at that time, or Spectre may enter into an additional promissory
note with Bally at an interest rate of 12% per year, to be amortized over 2
years, with the principal of such a note being equal to the annual royalty
license fee set forth below. For each calendar year that the Amended Agreement
is in effect, Spectre will be charged an annual royalty licensing fee as
follows:

calendar year, provided the ERUs have been ordered by Spectre and all such
orders in the preceding year by Spectre have been accepted by Bally and also

Committee the opportunity to grant approvals to Spectre in a reasonably prompt
manner. If applicable, this 20% discount will only apply to a specific calendar
year in question, and will not apply any following calendar year(s)
thereafter.
