ARTICLE II

GUARANTY

 

2.1.     Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, irrevocably and unconditionally, as a primary obligor and not only a surety, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. 

 

2.2.     Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, in each case, except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent): (i) any modification, amendment or supplement to any Loan Document, any Swap Agreement or any Treasury Services Agreement, including, without limitation, any increase in the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any release, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any change in the corporate, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against any Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; (v) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or (vii) any other defense that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries, in each case, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 


 

5




 


 

2.3.     Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (b) any notice of acceptance; (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of a Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Loan Party or set off any of its obligations to such other Loan Party against obligations of such Loan Party to such Guarantor. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by payment or performance, as applicable. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any applicable law to require any Secured Party to seek recourse first against any Borrower or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under this Guaranty.

 

2.4.     Subordination of Subrogation. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.14, the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which any of the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Secured Parties to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Secured Parties, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent. Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations). Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 2.4.

 


 

6




 


 

2.5.     Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.

 

2.5.1      To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and all Commitments and Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are Cash Collateralized, and the Credit Agreement, the Swap Agreements and the Treasury Services Agreements have terminated, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

 

2.5.2      As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

 

2.5.3      This Section 2.5 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.5 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

 

2.5.4      The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

Each Guarantor will, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each issuer of a letter of credit in an amount in excess of $100,000 individually, to consent to the assignment of proceeds of such letter of credit in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of the Letter-of-Credit Rights to such letter of credit.

 

5.9.     Federal, State or Municipal Claims. Each Guarantor will notify the Administrative Agent of any Collateral owned by such Guarantor which constitutes a claim involving an amount of $100,000 or more against the United States government or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state or municipal law. Furthermore, each Guarantor will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take such further actions (including, without limitation, the taking of necessary actions under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et seq. and 41 U.S.C. § 15 et seq.)), which the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request, to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens hereunder in respect of Accounts and General Intangibles owing by any government or instrumentality or agency thereof, all at the expense of the Borrower.

 

5.10.     No Interference. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

Each Guarantor agrees promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any supplement to this Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence such security interest in a form appropriate for recording in the applicable federal office. Each Guarantor also hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement unilaterally (i) by amending Exhibit B to include any future Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights of which the Administrative Agent receives notification from such Guarantor pursuant hereto and (ii) by recording, in addition to and not in substitution for this Agreement, a duplicate original of this Agreement containing in Exhibit B a description of such future Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights.

5.12.2      As of the Effective Date, no Guarantor has any interest in, or title to, any Copyrights, Licenses, Patents or Trademarks except as set forth in Exhibit B (as in effect on the Effective Date). This Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on such Copyrights, Licenses, Patents and Trademarks and, upon filing of the Confirmatory Grant of Security Interest in Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the Confirmatory Grant of Security Interest in Patents and the Confirmatory Grant of Security Interest in Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit E hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the security interest in, to and on each Guarantor’s Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights has been taken and such perfected security interest is enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from any Guarantor. No Guarantor has any interest in any Copyright that is necessary in connection with the operation of such Guarantor’s business, except for those Copyrights identified in Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

5.13.     Commercial Tort Claims. If, after the date hereof, any Guarantor identifies the existence of a Commercial Tort Claim belonging to such Guarantor that has arisen in the course of such Guarantor’s business (with a value, individually, of $100,000 or more) in addition to the Commercial Tort Claims described in Exhibit F, then such Guarantor shall give the Administrative Agent notice thereof as part of each Compliance Certificate provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, but in any event not less frequently than quarterly. Each Guarantor agrees promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any supplement to this Agreement or any other document reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the grant of a security interest therein in favor of the Administrative Agent.

 

5.14.     Landlord Personal Property Collateral Access Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees to obtain a Landlord Personal Property Collateral Access Agreement from the landlord or lessor of each Related Location. After the Effective Date, no Related Location shall be leased by such Guarantor and no Inventory shall be shipped to such Related Location, unless a satisfactory Landlord Personal Property Collateral Access Agreement is obtained with respect to such Related Location and delivered to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the lease of, or shipment of Inventory to, any such Related Location. Such Guarantor shall timely and fully pay and perform its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each Related Location. During the occurrence and continuation of a Default, each Guarantor shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, a Landlord Personal Property Collateral Access Agreement from the landlord or lessor of each leased property or bailee or consignee with respect to any other location where Collateral with a value of $100,000 or more is stored or located.

 

5.15.     Undertakings Regarding Pledges of Nevada Equity Interests. Each Guarantor owning any Nevada Equity Interest (i) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to receive the approval of the requisite Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the entry by such Guarantor into this Agreement and the pledge, and grant of a security interest in, such Nevada Equity Interest as contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) will obtain such approval within 270 calendar days after the Effective Date, provided that such 270-day period shall be extended through the first anniversary of the Effective Date if, within 30 calendar days after the Effective Date, such Guarantor has filed with the appropriate Nevada Gaming Authorities all applications required to effect the foregoing; provided, further, that if the failure to timely obtain such approval results solely from matters relating to the Administrative Agent as determined by the requisite Nevada Gaming Authorities, then the Borrower shall not be in violation of this covenant.

5.16.     Updating of Exhibits to Agreement. The Borrower will provide to the Administrative Agent, concurrently with the delivery of the certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower as required by Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, updated versions of the Exhibits to this Agreement (provided that if there have been no changes to any such Exhibits since the previous updating thereof required hereby, the Borrower shall indicate that there has been “no change” to the applicable Exhibits). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent a covenant contained in this Article V relates or is subject to an Exhibit, such covenant shall be deemed applicable as of the most recent date that is the later of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the date upon which a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower has been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULT

 

6.1.     Default. The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement shall constitute a default (“Default”) hereunder.

 

6.2.     Remedies. 

 

6.2.1      Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, subject to compliance with Gaming Laws and the Loan Documents, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

 

	 	
(i)
	
Those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties prior to a Default as otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents.



 

	 	
(ii)
	
Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.



 

	 	
(iii)
	
Give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.



 

	 	
(iv)
	
Without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 9.1 hereof or elsewhere herein, demand or advertisement of any kind to any Guarantor or any other Person) enter the premises of any Guarantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Guarantor’s premises of elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.



 


 

20




 


 

	 	
(v)
	
Concurrently with written notice to the applicable Guarantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent’s right to foreclose upon and/or sell Pledged Collateral that is in the form of Equity Interests of any Gaming Facility, or otherwise operate or take control, directly, indirectly or through an agent or designee, of the operation of a Gaming Facility, shall be subject to the Administrative Agent obtaining all necessary Gaming Approvals.



 

6.2.2      The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

6.2.3      The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Guarantor hereby expressly releases.

 

6.2.4      Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

 

6.2.5      If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, there remain outstanding Swap Obligations or Treasury Services Obligations, the Required Lenders may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 6.2 upon the occurrence of any event which would allow or require the termination or acceleration of any Swap Obligations or Treasury Services Obligations.

 

6.2.6      Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Guarantor, any other obligor, Guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

 


 

21




 


 

6.2.7      Each Guarantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with Section 6.2.1 above. Each Guarantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Guarantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Guarantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

 

6.3.     Guarantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, each Guarantor will:

 

(i)     assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Administrative Agent;

 

(ii)     permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Guarantor for such use and occupancy;

 

(iii)     prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Administrative Agent may request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and furnish to the Administrative Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Administrative Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Administrative Agent may specify; and

 

(iv)     take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Administrative Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, each Guarantor shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent with respect to obtaining any Gaming Approvals required for the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder and shall at the Administrative Agent’s request promptly submit any requests for such Gaming Approvals to any applicable Gaming Authority.

 


 

22




 


 

6.4.     License. The Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, without charge, each Guarantor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, such Guarantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Administrative Agent’s benefit. In addition, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, sell any of such Guarantor’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Guarantor’s Inventory from such Guarantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to such Guarantor and any Inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to such Guarantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

 

ARTICLE VII

WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

 

No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth; provided that, the addition of any Subsidiary as a Guarantor hereunder by execution of a Supplement shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Guarantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

 

ARTICLE VIII

PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES

 

8.1.     Lockboxes. Upon request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which agreements shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Administrative Agent.

 

8.2.     Collection of Receivables. The Administrative Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, by giving each Guarantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, each Guarantor shall, and shall permit the Administrative Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Guarantor of the Administrative Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Guarantor shall thereafter hold in trust for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times thereafter during the continuance of a Default deliver to the Administrative Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The Administrative Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 8.3 and 8.4 hereof.

 


 

23




 


 

8.3.     Special Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, require all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Guarantor shall have any control whatsoever over such cash collateral account. If any Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in such cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations whether or not the Secured Obligations shall then be due.

 

8.4.     Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to payment of the Secured Obligations as provided under Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement.

 

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

9.1.     Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Each Guarantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Borrower, addressed as set forth in Article X, at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to repair, clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Guarantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

 


 

24




 


 

9.2.     Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to repair, clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law (including applicable Gaming Laws), to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Guarantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 9.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 9.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Guarantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 9.2.

 

9.3.     Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

 


 

25




 


 

9.4.     Secured Party Performance of Guarantor’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Guarantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and such Guarantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.4. Each Guarantor’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

 

9.5.     Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Guarantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default in the cases of clauses (ii), (v), (vi) and (vii) of this Section 9.5) in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Guarantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Guarantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) subject to the terms of Section 5.1.5 hereof, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Guarantor, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VIII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Guarantor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

 

9.6.     Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.1.5, 5.4, 6.3 or 9.8 or in Article VIII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Guarantors contained in this Agreement, that the covenants of the Guarantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 9.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Guarantors.

 


 

26




 


 

9.7.     Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Guarantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Guarantor for such use and occupancy.

 

9.8.     Dispositions Not Authorized. No Guarantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 5.1.5 hereof and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Guarantor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 5.1.5 hereof) shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders.

 

9.9.     Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Guarantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Guarantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

9.10.     Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement), except that the Guarantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.

 

9.11.     Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

9.13.     Headings. The title of and section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

9.14.     Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) any and all commitments to extend credit under the Loan Documents have terminated, and the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in cash and performed in full (or with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, a cash deposit or backup Letter of Credit has been delivered to the Administrative Agent as required by the Credit Agreement) and no commitments of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties which would give rise to any Obligations are outstanding.

 

9.15.     Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral.

 

9.16.     Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

 

9.16.1      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

9.16.2      Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

9.16.3      Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9.16.2. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

9.16.4      Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article X of this Agreement, and each of the Guarantors hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

9.16.5      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH GUARANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER GUARANTOR HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER GUARANTOR WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER GUARANTORS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

9.17.     Indemnity. Each Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees in accordance with the terms of Section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement applied mutatis mutandis.

 

9.18.     Intercompany Indebtedness. All Indebtedness of any Guarantor owing to any other Guarantor shall at all times be subordinated to the Secured Obligations to a Global Intercompany Note.

 

9.19.     Severability. Any provision in this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

9.20.     Application of Gaming Laws. 

 

9.20.1      This Agreement is subject to Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent acknowledges that (i) it is subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities or Governmental Authorities enforcing such Gaming Laws or Liquor Laws (and to being called forward by such Gaming Authorities or Governmental Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing, qualification or findings of suitability or to file or provide other information) and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement, including with respect to the Collateral and the ownership, possession and operation of facilities subject to the jurisdiction of the Gaming Authorities, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the relevant Gaming Authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate with each Gaming Authority in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Authorities relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.20.2      The pledge of any Equity Interests in any Person that is subject to the jurisdiction of the Nevada Gaming Authorities (the “Nevada Equity Interests”) as a licensee or registered company under the Nevada Gaming Laws will require the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities in order to be effective. No certificates evidencing such Equity Interests shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent or any custodial agent until such approval has been obtained. The certificates representing any such Equity Interests shall at all times remain within the territorial boundaries of the State of Nevada and shall be made available for inspection by the Nevada Gaming Authorities immediately upon request during normal business hours. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any agent thereof shall surrender possession of such Equity Interests to any person other than the grantor pledging the same without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities or as otherwise permitted by applicable Nevada Gaming Laws.

 

9.21.     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
