the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and
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 it in good faith.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Administrative Agent shall comply with the conditions, if any, imposed by
any Gaming Board in connection with the approvals of the security interest
granted hereunder by the Obligors, including any conditions requiring the
Administrative Agent to permit representatives of the Gaming Boards to inspect
the Collateral.  The Administrative Agent shall not surrender possession of any
certificates or instruments representing Pledged Shares to any party other than
the Obligors without the prior approval of the Gaming Boards or as otherwise
permitted by the applicable Gaming Laws.

 

SECTION 5.04  Special Provisions Relating to Certain Collateral.

 

(a)                                  Pledged Shares.

 

(i)                                     The Obligors will cause the Pledged
Shares to constitute at all times 100% of the total number of Equity Interests
of each Issuer then outstanding owned by the Obligors.  The Obligors will not
cause, or permit, in the case of such Obligors’ Subsidiaries, any Issuer to
issue any Equity Interests as Uncertificated Securities or seek to convert all
or any part of the Pledged Shares into Uncertificated Securities.  The Obligors
will not at any time cause, or permit, in the case of such Obligors’
Subsidiaries, any Issuer to issue any additional Equity Interests if the effect
thereof would be to dilute in any way the interests of the Administrative Agent
in any Pledged Shares or in any Issuer.

 

(ii)                                  So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Obligors shall have, subject to and in
accordance with the Gaming Laws, the right to exercise all voting, consensual
and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Shares for all purposes
not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein, provided that
the Obligors jointly and severally agree that they will not vote the Pledged
Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents or any such other instrument or agreement; and the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Obligors or cause to be
executed and delivered to the Obligors all such proxies, powers of attorney,
dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as the
Obligors may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Obligors to
exercise the rights and powers that they are entitled to exercise pursuant to
this Section 5.04(a)(ii).

 

(iii)                               Unless and until an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Obligors shall be entitled to receive and
retain any dividends, distributions or proceeds on the Pledged Shares paid in
cash out of earned surplus.

 

(iv)                              If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, whether or not the Secured Parties or any of them exercise any
available right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seek or
pursue any other relief or remedy available to them under applicable law or
under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement relating
to such Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Pledged
Shares shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent and retained by it in
the Collateral Account as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, and, if the Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, the
Obligors jointly and severally agree to execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other
orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is
cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Administrative
Agent shall, upon request of the Obligors (except to the extent theretofore
applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by the Administrative Agent to
the Obligors.

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                 Intellectual Property.

 

(i)                                     For the purpose of enabling the
Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 5.05 at such
time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such
rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Obligor hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Obligor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property
now owned or hereafter acquired by such Obligor, wherever the same may be
located, 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 programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, but subject to any provisions of the Loan Documents that limit
the rights of the Obligors to dispose of their property, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Obligors will be permitted to
exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or
take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary
course of the business of the Obligors.  In furtherance of the foregoing, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of the respective
Obligor (through the Borrower), execute and deliver any instruments,
certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Obligor
(through the Borrower) shall have certified are appropriate in its judgment to
allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the
license provided pursuant to clause (i) immediately above as to any specific
Intellectual Property).  Further, upon the payment in full of all of the Secured
Obligations or earlier expiration of this Agreement or release of the
Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall grant back to the Obligors the
license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above.  The exercise of
rights and remedies under Section 5.05 by the Administrative Agent shall not
terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore
granted by the Obligors in accordance with the first sentence of this
clause (ii).

 

(c)                                  Chattel Paper.  The Obligors will
(i) deliver to the Administrative Agent each original of each item of Chattel
Paper at any time constituting part of the Collateral, and (ii) cause each such
original and each copy thereof to bear a conspicuous legend, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, indicating that
such Chattel Paper is subject to the security interest granted hereby and that
purchase of such Chattel Paper by a Person other than the Administrative Agent
without the consent of the Administrative Agent would violate the rights of the
Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

 

(i)                                     No Obligor shall establish or maintain,
any Deposit Account or Securities Account, except for (i) in the case of Deposit
Accounts, such Deposit Accounts maintained with a bank (as defined in
Section 9-102 of the NYUCC) whose jurisdiction (determined in accordance with
Section 9-304 of the NYUCC) is within a State of the United States and (ii) in
the case of Securities Accounts, such Securities Accounts maintained with a
securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102 of the NYUCC) whose
jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 8-110 of the NYUCC) is
within a State of the United States.

 

(ii)                                  Each Obligor shall, with respect to all
Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts on the date hereof (other than Exempted
Bank Accounts), and with respect to any new Deposit Accounts and Securities
Accounts established hereafter (other than Exempted Bank Accounts), at the time
any such Deposit Account or Securities Account is established and subject to all
applicable Gaming Laws, enter into such account control agreements (and obtain
the written agreement with respect thereto from the applicable financial
institution where each such Deposit

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Account or Securities Account is located) as may be necessary to perfect the
security interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement and establish
“control” with respect to such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

 

(iii)                               After the date hereof, no Obligor shall
establish or maintain any new Deposit Account or Securities Account, except for
Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts meeting the requirements of this
Section 5.04(d).

 

SECTION 5.05  Remedies.

 

(a)                                 Rights and Remedies Generally upon Default. 
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Administrative
Agent shall have, subject to and in accordance with the Gaming Laws, all of the
rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the
NYUCC (whether or not the NYUCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the
rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to
which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction
where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and
other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Administrative
Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take
all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); and without
limiting the foregoing:

 

(i)                                     the Administrative Agent in its
discretion may, in its name or in the name of any Obligor or otherwise, demand,
sue for, collect or receive any money or other property at any time payable or
receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be
under no obligation to do so;

 

(ii)                                  the Administrative Agent may make any
reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the
Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;

 

(iii)                               the Administrative Agent may require the
Obligors to notify (and each Obligor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to so notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account, Chattel Paper or
General Intangible, and each obligor on any Instrument, constituting part of the
Collateral that such Collateral has been assigned to the Administrative Agent
hereunder, and to instruct that any payments due or to become due in respect of
such Collateral shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent or as it may
direct (and if any such payments, or any other Proceeds of Collateral, are
received by any Obligor they shall be held in trust by such Obligor for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and as promptly as possible remitted or
delivered to the Administrative Agent for application as provided herein);

 

(iv)                              the Administrative Agent may require the
Obligors to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, reasonably
convenient to the Administrative Agent and the Obligors, as the Administrative
Agent may direct (provided that the Obligors shall not be required to deliver
Collateral consisting of gaming devices to a location in a jurisdiction where
possession of such items is unlawful);

 

(v)                                 the Administrative Agent may apply the
Collateral Account and any money or other property therein to payment of the
Secured Obligations;

 

(vi)                              the Administrative Agent may require the
Obligors to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name
of the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative Agent agrees
that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred into its name or the name of
its nominee, the Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to the
respective

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Obligor (through the Borrower) copies of any notices and communications received
by it with respect to such Pledged Shares);

 

(vii)                           the Administrative Agent may sell, lease, assign
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or
places as the Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for
future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private
sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such
disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required
by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or
recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or,
to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the
same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any
right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Obligors, any
such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and
released.  In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of
the Trademark Collateral, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the
Trademark Collateral subject to such disposition shall be included.  The
Administrative 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 the sale, and such sale may be made at any time
or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; and

 

(viii)                        with respect to any Collateral located within or
subject to the jurisdiction of a Gaming Board, the Administrative Agent may
request such Gaming Board to petition such local judicial or administrative
tribunal or other authority as may be deemed appropriate by the Administrative
Agent for the appointment of a supervisor or similar official to conduct the
normal gaming activities on the premises following the appointment of a receiver
or similar remedy.

 

The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this
Section 5.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to the
Administrative Agent in Section 5.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with
Section 5.09.

 

(b)                                 Certain Securities Act Limitations.  The
Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the
Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any
part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  The Obligors acknowledge
that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the
Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in
public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public
sale.

 

(c)                                  Notice.  The Obligors agree that to the
extent the Administrative Agent is required by applicable law to give reasonable
prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten Business
Days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                                 Regulatory Matters.  The Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(i)                                     in the event that the Administrative
Agent exercises one or more of the remedies set forth in this Section 5.05,
including but not limited to the re-registration of the Pledged Shares pursuant
to applicable Gaming Laws, such exercise of remedies would be deemed a separate
transfer of the Pledged Shares and would require the separate and prior approval
of the Gaming Board pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws as in effect on the date
hereof; and

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                  the approval by the Gaming Board of this
Agreement shall not act or be construed as the approval, either express or
implied, for the Administrative Agent to take any actions or steps provided for
in this Agreement for which prior approval of the Gaming Board is required,
without first obtaining such prior and separate approval of the Gaming Board to
the extent then required by applicable law.

 

SECTION 5.06  Deficiency.  If the proceeds of sale, collection or other
realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 are insufficient
to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of
the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

SECTION 5.07  Locations; Names, Etc.  Without at least 30 days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, no Obligor shall (i) change its location (as
defined in Section 9-307 of the NYUCC), (ii) change its name from the name shown
as its current legal name on Schedule 2 to the Credit Agreement, or (iii) agree
to or authorize any modification of the terms of any item of Collateral that
would result in a change thereof from one Uniform Commercial Code category to
another such category (such as from a General Intangible to Investment
Property), if the effect thereof would be to result in a loss of perfection of,
or diminution of priority for, the security interests created hereunder in such
item of Collateral, or the loss of control (within the meaning of Section 9-104,
9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the NYUCC) over such item of Collateral.

 

SECTION 5.08  Private Sale.  The Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a
result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale
pursuant to Section 5.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and
conducted in conformity with the requirements of applicable Gaming Laws.  Each
Obligor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Parties arising by reason
of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a
private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if
the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree.

 

SECTION 5.09  Application of Proceeds.  Except as otherwise herein expressly
provided, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or
any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held
by the Administrative Agent under Section 4 or this Section 5, shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent:

 

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or
other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and
all expenses incurred and advances made by the Administrative Agent in
connection therewith or under the Loan Documents;

 

Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, in each case equally
and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing
or as the Lenders holding the same may otherwise agree; and

 

Finally, to the payment to the Obligors, or their successors or assigns, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

 

SECTION 5.10  Attorney-in-Fact.  Without limiting any rights or powers granted
by this Agreement to the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the
attorney-in-fact of each Obligor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions
of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Section 5 to make collections
in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and
power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of
any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect
of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

 

SECTION 5.11  Perfection and Recordation.  Each Obligor authorizes the
Administrative Agent to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and
fixtures” of such Obligor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to
modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3).

 

SECTION 5.12  Termination; Releases of Collateral.

 

(a)                                 Upon both (i) payment in full in cash of the
principal of and interest (including interest accruing on or after the
commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not such interest would be
allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding) and premium, if any, on all Indebtedness
outstanding under the Loan Documents and constituting Secured Obligations, and
(ii) payment in full in cash of all other Secured Obligations that are due and
payable or otherwise accrued and owing at or prior to the time such principal,
interest and premium, if any, are paid, this Agreement shall terminate, and the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and
delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation
whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to
or on the order of the respective Obligor, and to be released and canceled all
licenses and rights referred to in Section 5.04(b).  The Administrative Agent
shall also, at the expense of such Obligor, execute and deliver to the
respective Obligor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements, certificates for terminating the Liens on the Motor
Vehicles and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the
respective Obligor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the
Collateral as required by this Section 5.12.

 

(b)                                 If any of the Collateral shall be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction expressly
permitted by the Loan Documents or with the consent of the Lenders as required
under the Credit Agreement, then the Liens granted hereby solely with respect to
such Collateral shall automatically terminate and the Administrative Agent
shall, at the expense of such Obligor, execute and deliver to the respective
Obligor all releases or other documentation reasonably requested by the
respective Obligor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on such
Collateral.

 

SECTION 5.13  Further Assurances.  Each Obligor agrees that, from time to time
upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, such Obligor will execute
and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the
purposes of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.14  Missouri Gaming Law Requirements.

 

(a)                                 For purposes below, “Missouri Gaming Laws”
shall mean the statutes, regulations and law governing licensed riverboat gaming
in the State of Missouri, including without limitation Chapter 313, RSMo, and 11
CSR Division 45, as the same may be amended from time to time; “Missouri Gaming
Subsidiaries” means, collectively, any Subsidiary of any Obligor subject to the

with respect to such Missouri Pledged Shares, the enforcement of the
Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Missouri Pledged

applicable Gaming Board at least 30 days prior to such transfer or as otherwise
then permitted by then current applicable Gaming Laws and (iii) the transfer
pursuant to this Agreement of any ownership interests in any Obligor subject to
the Missouri Gaming Laws shall be subject to and made in accordance with the
applicable Gaming Laws.  The Administrative Agent acknowledges (x) that upon
such transfer, or upon the Administrative Agent having the power to vote any

Missouri Gaming Commission shall be null and void unless the Missouri Gaming
Commission or other applicable Gaming Board has approved such transfer by vote

Administrative Agent to take possession of or foreclose upon any slot machine
(as defined by Title 11, Division 45, Section 10.055 of the Missouri Code of
State Regulations) located or to be located in the State of Missouri unless the
Administrative Agent holds a license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission,
or possibly via a different mechanism that the Missouri Gaming Commission would
find in compliance with Missouri Gaming Laws (which mechanism could include,
subject to the Missouri Gaming Commission’s approval, the sale, transfer or
disposition of such slot machines through or to a party holding a Class A
license or a supplier’s license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission).
