Exhibit 4.2




SECURITY AGREEMENT




          This SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of March 16, 2010, is made by MGM GRAND HOTEL, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company (the “Grantor”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined below) under the Indenture (as defined below)
(in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, “Collateral Agent”), with
reference to the following facts:




RECITALS




          A. MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware corporation ( “Issuer”) concurrently entered into that certain
Indenture dated as of March 16, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Indenture”), among Issuer, the guarantors party thereto (including the Grantor) and the
Trustee, pursuant to which Issuer issued those certain 9% senior secured notes due 2020 (together
with any additional notes and exchange notes issued pursuant to the Indenture, the “Notes”).



          B. The Holders of the Notes (collectively, the “Noteholders”) are willing to purchase the
Notes for the purposes of, among other things, providing Issuer and its subsidiaries funds to repay
existing indebtedness and provide working capital.



          C. The Grantor is a subsidiary of Issuer, and will derive substantial benefit from the
purchase of the Notes by the Noteholders.



          D. As a condition precedent to purchasing the Notes, the Noteholders require that the Grantor
enter into this Agreement and grant the security interests to the Collateral Agent as herein
provided as security for Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture.



          E. Pursuant to the 13% Secured Notes Indenture, the holders of the 13% Secured Notes issued
under the 13% Secured Notes Indenture (the “13% Secured Notes Secured Parties”) purchased the 13%
Secured Notes of the Issuer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.



          F. The 13% Secured Notes Indenture restricts the ability of the Grantor to grant a security
interest in the Collateral to secure the Notes Obligations, unless the Grantor grants an equal and
ratable security interest in the Collateral to secure the Obligations under the 13% Secured Notes
and 13% Secured Notes Indenture (the “13% Secured Notes Obligations”).

     (a) Delivery of Collateral Perfected by Possession. With respect to any Collateral
consisting of securities, instruments or the like, as to which Collateral Agent’s security
interest need be perfected by, or the priority thereof need be assured by, possession of
such Collateral, the Grantor will promptly deliver possession of any such Collateral with a
fair value or face value equal to or exceeding $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the
aggregate in pledge to Collateral Agent or as directed by the Collateral Agent, and the
Grantor will take all actions necessary to vest such possession in Collateral Agent or any
agent of the Collateral Agent as directed by the Collateral Agent;




     (b) Securities Accounts. If the Grantor maintains any securities accounts in which
balances exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate for any period of thirty consecutive days, the
Grantor will deliver a duly executed control agreement with respect to such Collateral in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent;




     (c) Motor Vehicles. If the Grantor at any time has motor vehicles or other Collateral
subject to certificates of title having an aggregate value exceeding $1,000,000, the Grantor
will cause certificates of title evidencing such excess amount of Collateral to reflect the
Lien in favor of Collateral Agent and notify Collateral Agent of such circumstance;




     (d) Commercial Tort Claims. The Grantor shall notify Collateral Agent of any material
commercial tort claim asserted by it in any judicial or arbitration proceeding within thirty

Parties, in such commercial tort claim;




     (e) Taxes. The Grantor will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, Liens and
assessments against the Collateral, except such as are expressly permitted by the Indenture
or are timely contested in good faith, and upon its failure to pay or so contest such taxes,
charges, Liens and assessments, Collateral Agent at its option, following written notice to
the Grantor of its intention to do so, may pay any of them, and Collateral Agent shall be
the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the
same;




     (f) Compliance with Law. The Collateral will not be knowingly used for any unlawful
purpose or in violation of any Law, nor used in any way that will void or impair any
insurance required to be carried in connection therewith;




     (g) Preservation. The Grantor will, to the extent consistent with good business
practice, keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair, working order and condition, and
from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and
improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will otherwise deal with the
Collateral in all such ways as are considered good practice by owners of like property, and
will take all commercially reasonable steps to preserve and protect the Collateral;



8









 






     (h) Insurance. Until the release of the Liens on the Collateral as provided in this
Agreement, the Grantor will maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral with carriers
against such risks, in such amounts and with such deductibles as the Grantor determines to
be reasonably prudent (as determined by the management in good faith) and consistent with
the past practices of the Grantor, and name Collateral Agent as an additional insured or,
with respect to casualty insurance, loss payee , as the case may be, with losses in excess
of $1,000,000 payable jointly to the Grantor and Collateral Agent (unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is then continuing, in which case all losses are payable solely to
Collateral Agent), with no recourse against Trustee or Collateral Agent for the payment of
premiums, deductibles, commissions or club calls, and will furnish copies of such insurance
policies or certificates to Collateral Agent promptly upon request therefor;




     (i) Notification of Damage. The Grantor will promptly notify Collateral Agent in
writing in the event of any substantial or material damage to the Collateral from any source
whatsoever, and, except for the disposition of collections and other proceeds of the
Collateral permitted by Section 6 hereof, the Grantor will not remove or permit to
be removed any material part of the Collateral from its place of business without the prior
written consent of Collateral Agent, except for such items of the Collateral as are removed
in the ordinary course of business or in connection with any transaction or disposition
otherwise permitted by the Indenture; and




     (j) Changes of Name or Address. In the event the Grantor changes its name, its address
or its jurisdiction of organization as are set forth herein or in the Indenture, the Grantor
will notify Collateral Agent of such name and/or address change promptly, but in any event
within 5 business days and the Grantor shall take all action necessary to maintain the
perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties in the Collateral.



          6. Collateral Agent’s Rights Regarding Collateral. Subject to the limitations set
forth below Collateral Agent may, subject to Gaming Laws, to the extent it may be necessary or
desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to, enter
upon any premises on which Collateral is situated during regular office business hours and upon
reasonable notice and examine the same. Collateral Agent may perform such Collateral inspections
no more than twice in each calendar year, unless the Grantor provides consent for additional
inspections after written request from Collateral Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without notice or demand and at
the expense of the Grantor, Collateral Agent may, subject to Gaming Laws, to the extent it may be
necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to, enter upon any premises on which Collateral is situated at any time without notice
and examine the same. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Collateral
Agent may, subject to Gaming Laws, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the
security hereunder, but Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to, perform any obligation of the
Grantor under this Agreement or any obligation of any other Person under the Note Documents, the
13% Secured Notes or 13% Secured Notes Indenture. The Grantor shall maintain books and records
pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is con-



9









 







sistent with the Grantor’s past practices. The Grantor shall at any time at Collateral
Agent’s request mark the Collateral and/or the Grantor’s ledger cards, books of account and other
records relating to the Collateral with appropriate notations reasonably satisfactory to Collateral
Agent disclosing that they are subject to Collateral Agent’s security interests. Prior to an Event
of Default, subject to the limitation set forth below, at any time during regular office business
hours and upon reasonable notice to the Grantor, Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access to
and the right to audit any and all of the Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral,
and to confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else Collateral Agent
reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests. Collateral Agent may perform
such audit of the the Grantor’s books and records twice in each calendar year, unless the Grantor
provides consent to additional audits after written request from Collateral Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at all
times on reasonable notice to the Grantor, Collateral Agent shall have full access to and the right
to audit any and all of the Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to
confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else Collateral Agent reasonably
may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, however, that any such action
which involves communicating with customers of the Grantor shall be carried out by Collateral Agent
through the Grantor’s independent auditors unless Collateral Agent shall then have the right
directly to notify obligors on the Collateral as provided in Section 10. Collateral Agent
shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or
against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights
or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have
occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance,
protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in
connection with the Collateral or the Secured Obligations. Collateral Agent shall be under no duty
or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of
the Grantor therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any
foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.



          7. Collections on the Collateral. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, and until Collateral Agent suspends such rights, the Grantor will be entitled to
receive the benefit of all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to
the Collateral by the Grantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, at the election of Collateral Agent or the Noteholders holding a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Indenture to suspend
such rights, (i) all rights of the Grantor to receive all cash dividends, interest and other
payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral will cease, and such cash dividends, interest
and other payments will be paid to Collateral Agent; (ii) all rights of the Grantor to exercise
such voting or other consensual rights shall cease, and all such rights shall become vested in
Collateral Agent which, to the extent permitted by law, will have the sole right to exercise such
rights; and (iii) Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Any remittance received by the Grantor from any Person shall be
presumed to relate to the Collateral and to be subject to Collateral Agent’s security interests.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have
the right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name
of Collateral Agent or in the name of the Grantor, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other in-



10









 







struments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the
Collateral; and the Grantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to affix, by facsimile signature or
otherwise, the general or special endorsement of it, in such manner as Collateral Agent shall deem
advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by
Collateral Agent without appropriate endorsement, and Collateral Agent and any collecting bank are
hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement
by the Grantor, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized
officer of the Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such
facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or
responsibility as to such matters, and the Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment,
protest and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with
respect to any such instrument.



          8. Possession of Collateral by Collateral Agent. All the Collateral now, heretofore
or hereafter delivered to Collateral Agent shall be held by Collateral Agent in its possession,
custody and control. Nothing herein shall obligate Collateral Agent to invest any Collateral or
obtain any particular return thereon. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Collateral Agent’s possession, custody or control,
Collateral Agent may use, operate and consume the Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving
and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of the Grantor’s obligations
with respect thereto, or otherwise. Collateral Agent may at any time deliver or redeliver the
Collateral or any part thereof to the Grantor, and the receipt of any of the same by the Grantor
shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Collateral Agent
thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor. So long as
Collateral Agent exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession,
custody or control, Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such
Collateral, and in no event shall Collateral Agent have liability for any diminution in value of
Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events. Collateral Agent shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in
the possession, custody or control of Collateral Agent is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Collateral Agent
shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or
not Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.



          Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements
or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise
perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in 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 the Collateral Agent in good faith. Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether
impaired by



11









 







operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except
to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
on the part of Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement
or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Grantor to the Collateral,
for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the
Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty
to act outside of the United States in respect of any Collateral located in the jurisdiction other
than the United States.



          Collateral Agent may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying in good faith
on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any counsel, accountant, appraiser or
other expert or adviser, whether retained or employed by the Grantor or by the Collateral, in
relation to any matter arising in the administration of the Note Documents.



          The rights, privileges, protections immunities and indemnities contained in the Indenture in
favor of the Trustee shall apply to Collateral Agent’s acceptance and administration of the
Indenture and the other Note Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party and shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference therein, except that any references to negligence as they relate to
the Trustee shall be deemed to mean gross negligence as they relate to the Collateral Agent.



          9. Events of Default. There shall be an Event of Default hereunder upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Indenture.



          10. Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is
sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Collateral Agent may have under
applicable Law or in equity or under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set
forth in Section 6 hereof), the 13% Secured Notes, the 13% Secured Notes Indenture or under
any other Note Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
Code as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction, and, in addition, the following rights and
remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to the Grantor (except to the extent
notice is otherwise required to be given pursuant to the fourth paragraph this Section 10)
and without affecting the Obligations of the Grantor hereunder or under any other Note Document,
the 13% Secured Notes or the 13% Secured Notes Indenture or the enforceability of the Liens and
security interests created hereby:




     (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other
agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial
process;




     (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of
securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing,
preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same;



12









 






     (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof,
either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on
credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as
shall be acceptable to Collateral Agent;




     (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to
Collateral Agent and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to
Collateral Agent;




     (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions,
interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the
Collateral;




     (f) to cause the Collateral to be registered in the name of Collateral Agent, as legal
owner;




     (g) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation
agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection
therewith Collateral Agent may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept
other Property in exchange for the Collateral;




     (h) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Collateral Agent, in whole
or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto;




     (i) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in
connection with the Collateral in the name of Collateral Agent or in the name of the
Grantor;




     (j) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or
all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Collateral Agent or in the name of
the Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Collateral Agent
necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including
any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon in accordance with applicable
Law, and the Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of
the Collateral or any other action taken by Collateral Agent which may release any obligor
from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and the Grantor waives to the extent
permitted by Law, any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice
of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any
of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by Collateral Agent in exchange
for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of
Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or
other legal action taken by Collateral Agent or the Grantor may be applied by Collateral
Agent without notice to the Grantor to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as
Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine;




     (k) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral;



13









 






     (l) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the
Note Documents;




     (m) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any
and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets
containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and Collateral Agent may, at the cost and
expense of the Grantor, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its
places of business as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to properly administer,
process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the
portion of the Collateral owned by the Grantor or to properly administer and control the
handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Collateral Agent shall be deemed to
have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of the Grantor for such purposes and for such
periods of time as reasonably required by Collateral Agent;




     (n) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Grantor and notify postal
authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Collateral Agent
may designate; provided that Collateral Agent agrees that it will promptly deliver over to
the Grantor such mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and




     (o) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the
Collateral; all at Collateral Agent’s sole option and as Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion may deem advisable. The Grantor will, at Collateral Agent’s written request,
assemble the Collateral (or any part thereof, as requested) and make it available to
Collateral Agent at places which Collateral Agent may designate, whether at the premises of
the Grantor or elsewhere (provided, however, that the Grantor shall not be required to
deliver Collateral consisting of gaming devices to a location in a jurisdiction where
possession of such items is unlawful), and will make available to Collateral Agent, free of
cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of the Grantor for the purpose of Collateral
Agent’s taking possession of the Collateral or storing same or removing or putting the
Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.



          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent also
shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured
Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive
the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof. Taking possession of the Collateral shall
not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to
such notice. The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as
ordered by said court.



          Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of
Collateral Agent, or at the Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by
applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective
purchasers. With respect to any Collateral located within or subject to the jurisdiction of the
Gaming Authority, Collateral Agent may also request, in connection therewith, the Gaming Authority
to petition such local judicial or administrative tribunal or other authority as may be deemed
appropriate by Collateral Agent for the appointment of a supervisor or similar official to



14









 







conduct the normal gaming activities on the premises following the appointment of a receiver
or similar remedy. Collateral Agent may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or
portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and the Grantor
expressly waives any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral. Collateral
Agent or any Person on Collateral Agent’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other
disposition. The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or
other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including attorneys’
fees and disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease,
selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating and the like; and thereafter pro rata to the satisfaction
of the Secured Obligations (i) as among the Noteholders, pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Indenture
and (ii) as among the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties, as set forth in the 13% Secured Notes
Indenture. In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 10, the
Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the 13% Secured Notes Secured
Parties or the trustee for the 13% Secured Notes as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest
and other amounts outstanding with respect to the 13% Secured Notes Obligations and the Collateral
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 10
shall be final, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the
13% Secured Notes Secured Parties or trustee for the 13% Secured Notes of any amounts distributed
to the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties. The Grantor and any other Person then obligated therefor
shall pay to Collateral Agent on written demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain
after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.



          Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Collateral Agent will send or otherwise make available to
the Grantor, reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time on
or after which any private sale thereof is to be made. The requirement of sending reasonable
notice conclusively shall be met if such notice is mailed, first class mail, postage prepaid, to
the Grantor at its addresses designated below, at least ten days before the date of the sale, the
Grantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any
Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations extent as expressly provided for in this
paragraph.



          With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, joint venture
interests, Investments or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable Laws, Collateral Agent may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such
manner and under such circumstances as Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order
that the sale may be lawfully conducted. Without limiting the foregoing, Collateral Agent may (i)
approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale, the Grantor agrees
that if such Collateral is sold for a price which Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then



15









 






     (a) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects,




     (b) the Grantor shall not be entitled to a credit against the Secured Obligations in an
amount in excess of the purchase price, and




     (c) Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility to the Grantor in
connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price
might have been realized at a public sale. The Grantor recognizes that a ready market may
not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities
exchange, and that a sale by Collateral Agent of any such Collateral for an amount
substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets
minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be
encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is
privately traded.



          Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, 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 such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any
claim or right upon the part of the Grantor or any other Person, and the Grantor hereby waives (to
the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now
has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for
future delivery, Collateral Agent shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to
the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by Collateral Agent, and any
Collateral so sold may be retained by Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the
purchaser or purchasers thereof.



          Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall
fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be
sold again.



          11. Attorney-in-Fact. The Grantor hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints
Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes:




     (a) following Collateral Agent’s request thereof and the Grantor’s failure to perform
within the time frame permitted by this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, to do
all acts and things which Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and to
continue to perfect the security interests created by this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to
preserve, process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral or Mortgaged Property;




     (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any
and every act which the Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement or any other
Collateral Document, at the expense of the Grantor and without any obligation to do so;



16









 






     (c) following Collateral Agent’s request thereof and the Grantor’s failure to perform
within the time frame permitted by this Agreement, to prepare, sign, file and/or record, for
the Grantor, in the name of the Grantor, any financing statement, application for
registration, or like paper, and to take any other action deemed by Collateral Agent
necessary or desirable in order to perfect or maintain perfected the security interests
granted hereby or any other Collateral Document; and




     (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute
any and all papers and instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to
preserve and protect the Collateral or Mortgaged Property and to protect Collateral Agent’s
security interests therein or liens thereon; provided, however, that Collateral Agent shall
be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad
faith or actual malice, Collateral Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for any
act taken or omission with respect thereto.



          12. Costs and Expenses. The Grantor agrees to pay to Collateral Agent all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Collateral
Agent in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any
waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof. All advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in exercising any
right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or any other Collateral Document
(including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured Obligation of the Grantor under
the Note Documents, 13% Secured Notes or 13% Secured Notes Indenture), or in the enforcement or
attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Secured
Obligations and shall be paid to Collateral Agent by the Grantor, promptly following written
demand.



          13. Statute of Limitations and Other Laws. Until the Notes Obligations, other than
contingent indemnification obligations, shall have been paid and performed in full, the power of
sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Collateral Agent hereunder
shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time
irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute
of limitations. The Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation,
and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and
appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.



          14. Other Agreements. Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of
terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by the Grantor or
in connection with the Secured Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be
in addition thereto. All provisions contained in the Indenture or any other Note Document that
apply to Note Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated
herein by this reference.



          15. Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. The Grantor warrants and
agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with
legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with



17









 







the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy
or otherwise adversely affect rights which the Grantor otherwise may have against Collateral Agent
or others, or against Collateral. If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be
contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to
the maximum extent permitted by Law.



          16. Termination. Upon payment of all Notes Obligations in full or upon satisfaction
of the terms and conditions of Section 11.04(a) of the Indenture, this Agreement shall terminate,
and Collateral Agent shall forthwith take all necessary action (at the request of and the expense
of the Grantor) to release and reconvey the Collateral to the Grantor, and shall deliver the
Collateral in its possession to the Grantor including, without limitation, the executing and
delivering of releases and satisfactions wherever required in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Grantor and Collateral Agent, and the 13% Secured Notes Obligations shall no longer be secured
hereby. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties in
the event the 13% Secured Notes Obligations are no longer required to be secured hereby as a result
of the release of the Lien on the Collateral under the 13% Secured Notes Indenture.



          17. Release of Collateral. The Liens on the Collateral under this Agreement shall be
released upon the terms and conditions of Sections 11.04 and 11.05 of the Indenture. Any release
of Collateral shall comply with Section 11.08 of the Indenture.



          18. Certain Regulatory Requirements. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall take all lawful action that the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request in the exercise of its rights and remedies, which include the right to
require the Grantor to transfer or assign any Gaming Collateral held by it to any party or parties
to facilitate an arms’ length public or private sale for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. In
furtherance of this right, the Grantor shall (i) cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent in
obtaining all approvals and consents from the Gaming Authority and each other Governmental
Authority and from any third parties that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish any transfer or assignment of the Gaming Collateral, and (ii) prepare, execute and file
with the Gaming Authority and any other Governmental Authority any application, request for
consent, certificate or instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish any such transfer or assignment. If the Grantor fails to execute such applications,
requests for consent, certificates or instruments, the clerk of any court that has jurisdiction
over the Note Documents may, upon an ex parte request by the Collateral Agent, execute and file the
same on behalf of the Grantor for purposes of placing such request before the Gaming Authority,
except to the extent as would not be permissible under applicable Law.



          To enforce the provisions of Section 10, the Collateral Agent is authorized to request
the consent or approval of the Gaming Authority or any other Governmental Authority to a voluntary
or an involuntary transfer of control of the Grantor or the voluntary or involuntary assignment of
any Gaming Collateral held by the Grantor. In connection with the exercise of its remedies under
this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may obtain the appointment of a trustee or receiver to assume
control of the Grantor, subject to any required prior approval of the Gaming Authority or any other
Governmental Authority. Such trustee or receiver shall have all rights



18









 







and powers provided to it by law or by court order or provided to the Collateral Agent under
this Agreement.



          19. Acknowledgement by the Grantor. The Grantor acknowledges that the approval of the
Gaming Authority and each other appropriate Governmental Authority to the assignment of the Gaming
Collateral is integral to the Collateral Agent’s realization of the value of the Collateral, that
there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by the Grantor to comply with the provisions of
Section 18 and that such failure could not be adequately compensable in damages.
Therefore, the Grantor agrees that the provisions of Section 18 may be specifically
enforced, without any requirement to post bond (such rights being fully waived by the Grantor) and
without regard to the adequacy of any remedies available at law (the defense of the adequacy of
remedies at law being fully waived by the Grantor).



          20. Waivers and Consents. The Grantor acknowledges that the Liens created or granted
herein will or may secure obligations of Persons other than the Grantor and, in full recognition of
that fact, the Grantor consents and agrees that Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to
time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof:




     (a) supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time
for payment or the terms of the Notes Obligations or any part thereof, including any
increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;




     (b) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval
or consent with respect to, the Notes Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Notes
Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default,
remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;




     (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or
relative to any of the Note Documents or the Notes Obligations or any part thereof;




     (d) accept partial payments on the Notes Obligations;




     (e) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Notes Obligations or any
part thereof;




     (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute,
transfer and enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order
or manner of sale thereof as Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may
determine;




     (g) release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the
Notes Obligations or any part thereof;




     (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Collateral Agent or by operation of
applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Notes Obligations and any security



19









 







or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and
purchase at any sale; and




     (i) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the
corporate or other existence of Issuer or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure
the Notes Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not
affect the liability of the Grantor or the continuing existence of any Lien hereunder, under
any other Note Document to which the Grantor is a party or the enforceability hereof or
thereof with respect to all or any part of the Notes Obligations;


provided, however, that the requisite written consent of the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties
pursuant to the 13% Secured Notes Indenture shall be required with respect to any release, waiver,
amendment or other modification of this Agreement that would materially and adversely affect the
rights of the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties to equally and ratably share in the security
provided for herein or any other Collateral Document with respect to the Collateral or the
Mortgaged Property. Except as set forth in this Section 20, the 13% Secured Notes Secured
Parties shall not have any rights to approve any release, waiver, amendment, modification, charge,
discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement or any other Collateral Document.




          Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent
may enforce this Agreement or any other Collateral Document independently of any other remedy or
security Collateral Agent at any time may have or hold in connection with the Secured Obligations,
and it shall not be necessary for Collateral Agent to marshal assets in favor of the Grantor or any
other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before
proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any other Collateral Document. The Grantor expressly
waives any right to require Collateral Agent to marshal assets in favor of the Grantor, or any
other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person,
and agrees that Collateral Agent may proceed against any Person and/or collateral in such order as
it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Collateral Agent may file a separate
action or actions against the Grantor, whether or not action is brought or prosecuted with respect
to any other security or against Issuer or any other Person, or whether or not any other Person is
joined in any such action or actions. The Grantor agrees that Collateral Agent and Issuer and any
Person may deal with each other in connection with the Secured Obligations or otherwise, or alter
any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner
whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the validity of, or the pledge or security
interest granted or created by, this Agreement. Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder or any other
Collateral Document shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement or
any other Collateral Document shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on
account of the Secured Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by
Collateral Agent upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any other Person or otherwise
(and whether by litigation, settlement, demand or otherwise), all as though such amount had not
been paid. The Grantor agrees that the Liens created or granted herein and any other Collateral
Document and the enforceability of this Agreement and any other Collateral Document at all times
shall remain effective to secure the full amount of all the Secured Obligations including, without
limitation, the amount of all loans and interest thereon at the rates provided for in the
Indenture, the Notes, the 13% Secured Notes Indenture and the 13%



20









 







  Secured Notes, even though the Secured Obligations, including any part
thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or
otherwise unenforceable as against Issuer or any other Person and whether or not Issuer or any
other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. The Grantor expressly waives
any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of




     (a) any disability or other defense of Issuer or any other Person with respect to the
Secured Obligations,




     (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Secured
Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure or subordination
of priority of any security for the Secured Obligations,




     (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Issuer (other than by
reason of the full payment and performance of all Secured Obligations),




     (d) any failure of Collateral Agent to marshal assets in favor of the Grantor or any
other Person,




     (e) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of Collateral Agent to
give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to the Grantor or any other Person or
any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of
collateral,




     (f) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document,
any failure of Collateral Agent to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale
or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Secured Obligation,
including, without limitation, any failure of Collateral Agent to conduct a commercially
reasonable sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Secured
Obligation,




     (g) any act or omission of Collateral Agent or others that directly or indirectly
results in or aids the discharge or release of Issuer or any other Person or the Secured
Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of Law or otherwise,




     (h) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be
larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which
reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation,




     (i) any failure of Collateral Agent to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or
other proceeding with respect to any Person,




     (j) the election by Collateral Agent, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of
the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy
Code,



21









 






     (k) any extension of credit or the grant of any Lien under Section 364 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code,




     (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code,




     (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection
in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person,




     (n) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of Collateral Agent for any reason,




     (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt,
liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any
discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Secured Obligations (or
any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding,




     (p) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefits of any form of one-action
rule under any applicable Law, or




     (q) any action taken by Collateral Agent that is authorized by this Section 20
or any other provision of any Notes Document.



          Until all of the Notes Obligations have been paid and performed in full, the Grantor shall
have no right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity, and the Grantor expressly
waives any right to enforce any remedy that Collateral Agent now has or hereafter may have against
any other Person and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any other security now
or hereafter held by Collateral Agent. The Grantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of
an election of remedies by Collateral Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as a
nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Secured Obligations has destroyed the
Grantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal. The Grantor expressly
waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance,
notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all
other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Secured Obligations,
and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document or of the
existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Secured Obligations.



          The obligations of the Collateral Agent to the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties hereunder and
under the other Collateral Documents shall be limited solely to (i) holding the Collateral and the
Mortgaged Property for the benefit of the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties for so long as (A) any
Notes Obligations remain outstanding and (B) any 13% Secured Notes Obligations are secured by such
Collateral and the Mortgaged Property and (ii) distributing any proceeds received by the Collateral
Agent from the sale, collection or realization of the Collateral and the Mortgaged Property to the
13% Secured Notes Secured Parties in respect of the 13% Secured Notes Obligations in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties shall not be entitled to
exercise (or direct the Collateral Agent to exercise) any rights or remedies hereunder with respect
to the 13% Secured Notes Obligations, including without limitation the right to enforce the
security interest in the Collateral and the Mortgaged

Property, request any action, institute proceedings, give any instructions, make any election,
give any notice to account debtors, make collections, sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of
the Collateral and the Mortgaged Property or execute any amendment, supplement, or acknowledgment
hereof or of any other Collateral Document. This Agreement shall not create any liability of the
Collateral Agent or the Noteholders to any of the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties by reason of
actions taken with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of the security interest on
the Collateral and the Mortgaged Property, actions with respect to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or
failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and the Mortgaged Property or action with respect to
the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Secured Obligations from any account debtor,
guarantor or any other party or the valuation, use or protection of the Collateral and the
Mortgaged Property. By acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement and the other Collateral
Documents, the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed
that the provisions of the preceding sentence are intended to induce the Noteholders to permit such
persons to be Secured Parties under this Agreement and certain of the other Collateral Documents
and are being relied upon by the Noteholders as consideration therefor. The Collateral Agent shall
not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by the Issuer or any other obligor of
the 13% Secured Notes Obligations.



          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be
construed to (i) result in the security interest in the Collateral and the Mortgaged Property
securing the 13% Secured Notes Obligations less than equally and ratably with the Notes Obligations
pursuant to the 13% Secured Notes Indenture to the extent required or (ii) modify or affect the
rights of the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties to receive the pro rata share specified in
Section 10 of any proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral and the Mortgaged
Property.



          The parties hereto agree that the 13% Secured Notes Obligations and the Notes Obligations are,
and will be, equally and ratably secured with each other by the Liens on the Collateral and the
Mortgaged Property, and that it is their intention to give full effect to the equal and ratable
provisions of the 13% Secured Notes Indenture, as in effect on the date hereof. To the extent that
the rights and benefits herein or in any other Collateral Document conferred on the 13% Secured
Notes Secured Parties shall be held to exceed the rights and benefits required so to be conferred
by such provisions, such rights and benefits shall be limited so as to provide such 13% Secured
Notes Secured Parties only those rights and benefits that are required by such provisions. Any and
all rights not herein expressly given to the 13% Secured Notes Secured Parties are expressly
reserved to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders.



          21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GRANTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS

DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE
GRANTOR OR COLLATERAL AGENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY

MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS IN THE STATE OF NEVADA OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF

FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE
AFORESAID COURTS. THE GRANTOR HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS

OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE GRANTOR. THE GRANTOR

ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL,

OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR
CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE NOTE DOCUMENTS THAT SERVICE OF
PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE

ED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE GRANTOR IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEVADA BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE
REQUIRED THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF
