ARTICLE 8

BREACH, DEFAULT AND TERMINATION  

        8.1   Cancellation Upon Default.

        (a)   This
Agreement may be cancelled immediately, and without recourse against MGI, should MGI not be issued any and all permits and licenses which are required by any
governmental agency for the installation or operation of the Gaming Devices before or within a reasonable period of time after execution hereof or should any such permit be suspended, revoked,
terminated or cancelled, or should any such permit expire during the term of this Agreement. 

        (b)   This
Agreement may be cancelled by either party upon the Default of the other party. As used herein, the term, "Default" shall mean a breach continuing after any and all
applicable cure periods have expired without legal justification. Neither party shall be in Default unless such party fails to perform any one (1) or more obligations required of it (in which
case such party shall be deemed to be in breach of the Agreement) and, thereafter, and in response to a notice of breach from the non-breaching party, the party in breach fails to remedy
and cure such breach as provided herein. 

        (c)   Upon
the occurrence of a breach of the Agreement, the non-breaching party shall provide a written notice of breach specifying those obligations which the
breaching party has failed to perform; which notice shall include a demand to immediately commence to cure such breach and to diligently prosecute such cure through to its completion. No breach shall
be deemed to become a Default unless and until said notice of breach has been delivered as provided in Section 9.2, below, and the breaching party has failed to cure the specified breach(es)
within: (i) ten (10) days for breaches consisting of a failure to remit funds which are fixed, due and owing; and (ii) thirty (30) days for all other categories of breach;
provided, however, that if the nature of the breach is such that more than thirty (30) days is reasonably required for performance and cure, then the breaching party shall not be in Default if
such party commences performance and cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. 

        (d)   Upon
the Default by a party, the other party may, but shall not be required to, deliver a notice to the party in Default confirming the effective date of cancellation of
the Agreement. 

        8.2   Bankruptcy. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that MGI shall become insolvent,
bankrupt (including, without limitation, the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Codes], or any comparable
state law) or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or if it or its interests hereunder shall be levied upon or sold under execution or other legal process, or in the event MGI ceases
business, or is taken over by the authority of the United States, or other governmental supervisory authority, VONS may terminate this Agreement unless to do so would require the consent of such
governmental authority or other supervisory authority, in which case VONS may terminate this Agreement upon obtaining such consent. 

        8.3   Partial Nullity. This Agreement shall become partially null and be of no further force or effect with respect to any one
(1) or more Stores (the "Affected Licensed Premises") at any time or times (without liability to any party except for any liabilities previously accrued and outstanding) upon the issuance of
any order, rule or regulation of any regulatory agency or administrative body (including condemnation of a Store or Stores by right of eminent domain), or the decision or order of any court of
competent jurisdiction that is controlling or binding on such party prohibiting the installation, maintenance and/or use of the Gaming Devices by MGI, VONS or any of their customers or otherwise 

11

 

affecting
the installation, maintenance and/or use of the Gaming Devices so as to make continued use of the Affected Licensed Premises unreasonably unprofitable or undesirable to either party. 

        8.4   Termination At Will.

        (a)   VONS
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time as to any one (1) or more Stores upon providing not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to MGI and without liability should any owner or lessor of any such Store pursuant to any lease or C. C. & R.'s or any property management association exercising its authority
over any such Store pursuant to C.C.& R.'s prohibit the installation, maintenance or operation of any Gaming Devices or should any such person or entity assert that any lease, C.C.& R.'s or any other
agreement effecting the Store(s) prohibits or restricts the installation, maintenance or operation of any Gaming Devices in any such Store(s). 

        (b)   VONS
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time as to any one (1) or more Stores upon providing not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to MGI and without liability should the lease under which VONS operates any such Store expire or be terminated by the lessor or should economic or business factors require (as
determined by VONS in its sole discretion) the closure or sale of such Store. 

        (c)   Should
VONS, or any successor-in-interest of VONS, change the format of any Store or Stores to a "non- supermarket" use, then MGI
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, but only as to such Store or Stores, which right may be exercised in the sole discretion of MGI, provided VONS shall incur no liability as the result
of such termination. As used herein, the term "supermarket" is intended be a dynamic term reflecting the various changes in retailing methods, patterns and programs as same may be created, developed,
deleted or otherwise revised from time-to-time by VONS and (without limitation) other supermarket operators such as "Smiths", "Lucky", "Wal-Mart", etc. 

        8.5   Destruction or Condemnation. Without limiting the effects described in Section 8.3, above, and if during the term
hereof any Store is damaged or destroyed by a fire or other casualty or is partially acquired or condemned by right of eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect except that: in the event of such casualty, the License Fee for the affected Licensed Premises shall abate (except to the extent that such fees are recoverable
from insurance proceeds) pursuant to Section 4.3, above, from the date of destruction until the restoration and re-opening for business of the affected Store; and in the event of a
partial condemnation, the License Fee for the affected Licensed Premises shall abate equitably and proportionately from: the date of the physical taking in an amount upon which the parties shall
mutually agree according to the nature and extent of the taking of the affected Store and the affected Licensed Premises, if any. 

        8.6   Events Upon Termination. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of the Agreement, MGI and VONS will each assist
the other party in an orderly conclusion hereof and the transfer of all assets herein described, tangible or intangible, as may be necessary for the orderly, non-disruptive business
continuation of MGI and VONS. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement, MGI shall remove all Gaming Devices, all Incidental Equipment and all of its other property from each
Store as provided in Section 3.9, above, with all costs for removal of Gaming Devices, Incidental Equipment and any other property of MGI and any site restoration to be paid as follows: 

        (a)   In
the event of an expiration of the Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, MGI shall bear all costs and expenses for the removal of all Gaming
Devices, Incidental Equipment and other property of MGI, and VONS shall bear all costs and expenses for site restoration except to the extent that any repairs to any Licensed Premises or Store are
necessitated as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of MGI or its contractors; 

12

 

        (b)   Upon
a cancellation based upon a Default of the Agreement, the party in Default shall be liable for any and all costs and expenses for removal of all Gaming Devices,
Incidental Equipment and other property of MGI and site restoration; 

        (c)   Upon
a termination not based upon a Default of the Agreement, the party initiating the termination shall be liable for any and all costs and expenses for removal of all
Gaming Devices, Incidental Equipment and other property of MGI and site restoration. 

        8.7   Rights and Remedies. Except as provided in Section 8.1(a), above, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed so as to limit or in any way restrict the rights of any party to seek any legal and/or equitable relief or remedy to which such party may be entitled. 

ARTICLE 9

the lenders party thereto made credit facilities available to the Borrower
consisting of a $90,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $60,000,000 term
loan facility.

 

B.                                     In connection with the proposed Grace

E.                                      By executing this Agreement, certain new
Lenders have agreed to assume a portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
of $175,000,000, effective as of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE
II.

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 

2.01.                        Revolving Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the
Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period,
in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of that
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, that after giving
effect to any Borrowing, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Outstandings shall
not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments minus the Reserve Amount,
(ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any
Revolving Lender, plus that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus that Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
shall not exceed that Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (iii) prior to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03, the Borrower shall
not request any Revolving Loan, Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit which would
result in the Aggregate Revolving Outstandings being in excess of $150,000,000 minus
the Reserve Amount.  Within the limits of
each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01,
prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.  Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

 

2.02.                        Term Loans.  Provided the
Borrower has properly exercised its option to add additional Term Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.16, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein and in the Term Notes, each Term Lender becoming a party to this
Agreement pursuant to Section 2.16 severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the
Borrower on the Term Effective Date in the amount of its Term Commitment.  Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.  No Term Loan which is at any time prepaid or
repaid may be reborrowed, but each Term Loan may be converted, in whole or in
part, to a Term Loan of another Type, or continued from time to time, in the
manner contemplated by Section 2.03.

 

2.03.                        Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of
Loans.

 

(a)                                  Each Borrowing,
each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether such Borrowing consists of Revolving Loans or
Term Loans) shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days
prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base
Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of

 

29

 

$2,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.04(c)
and 2.05(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof.  Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic
or written) shall specify (i) whether the Loan Notice relates to the
Revolving Commitments or the Term Commitments, (ii) whether the Borrower
is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or
a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a
Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which
existing Loans are to be converted, and (vi) if applicable, the duration
of the Interest Period with respect thereto. 
If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if
the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or
continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base
Rate Loans.  Any such automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans.  If the Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any
such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to
have specified an Interest Period of one month.

 

(b)                                 Following
receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender of the amount of its Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if
no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding
subsection.  In the case of a Borrowing,
each Lender having a Percentage of the relevant Commitments shall make the amount
of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit
Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so
received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower
on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided
to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such
Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then
the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment
in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available
to the Borrower as provided above.

 

(c)                                  Except as
otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans
may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without
the consent of the Requisite Lenders.

 

(d)                                 The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate

 

30

 

Loans
upon determination of such interest rate. 
At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of
America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the
public announcement of such change.

 

(e)                                  After giving
effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other,
and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than
ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

 

2.04.                        Letters of Credit.

 

(a)                                  The Letter of
Credit Commitment.

 

(i)                                     Each Letter of
Credit heretofore issued and remaining outstanding under the Existing Credit
Agreement shall be deemed to be outstanding hereunder as of the Effective
Date.  Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon
the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04,
(1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of
Credit for the account of the Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and
(2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the
Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued
for the account of the Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided
that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter
of Credit, (w) the Aggregate Revolving Outstanding shall not be in excess of
$150,000,000 minus the Reserve Amount prior to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 4.03, (x) the Aggregate Revolving
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments minus
the Reserve Amount, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving
Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus that Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus that
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing
Line Loans shall not exceed that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and
(z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the
Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or
amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the
Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of
Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the
foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that
have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

 

(ii)                                  The L/C Issuer
shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

 

31

 

(A)                              subject to
Section 2.04(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last
extension, unless all of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;
or

 

(B)                                the expiry date
of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry
date.

 

(iii)                               The L/C Issuer
shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A)                              any order,
judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its
terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of
Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the
L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the
Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost
or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C
Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

 

(B)                                the issuance of
such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;

 

(C)                                except as
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of

commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a standby Letter of
Credit;

 

(D)                               such Letter of
Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

 

(E)                                 a default of
any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.04(c) exists or
any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the
L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such
Revolving Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such
Revolving Lender.

 

(iv)                              The L/C Issuer
shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted
at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
hereof.

 

32

 

(v)                                 The L/C Issuer
shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C
Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in
its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(vi)                              The L/C Issuer
shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit
issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to
such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used
in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C
Issuer.

 

(b)                                 Procedures for
Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

 

(i)                                     Each Letter of
Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the
Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be
received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative
Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the
case may be.  In the case of a request
for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer:
(A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which
shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date
thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters
as the L/C Issuer may require.  In the
case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to
the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day);
(C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters
as the L/C Issuer may require. 
Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to
such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer
Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

 

33

 

(ii)                                  Promptly after
receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with
the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the
Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with
a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer
has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent
or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or
enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in
accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter
of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in
such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii)                               If the Borrower
so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has
automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided
that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to
prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior
notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time
such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless
otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to
make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any
time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if
(A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would
have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised
form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of
clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received
notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is
five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the
Administrative Agent that the Requisite Lenders have elected not to permit such
extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is
not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to
permit such extension.

 

34

 

(iv)                              Promptly after
its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to
an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true
and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c)                                  Drawings and
Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i)                                     Upon receipt
from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later
than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of
Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C
Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of
such drawing.  If the Borrower fails to
so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor
Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.04 for the principal amount
of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice).  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice.

 

(ii)                                  Each Lender
shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of
the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such
amount.  The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

(iii)                               With respect to
any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be
satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.  In such event, each Revolving Lender’s
payment to the

 

35

 

Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing
and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction
of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

 

(iv)                              Until each
Revolving Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

 

(v)                                 Each Revolving
Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C
Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to
make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan
Notice).  No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer
under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(vi)                              If any
Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the
time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to
recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation. 
A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)                                 Repayment of
Participations.

 

(i)                                     At any time
after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the
Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C

 

36

 

Issuer
any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon
(whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash
Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance was
outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)                                  If any payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant
to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Obligations
Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to
repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following:

 

(i)                                     any lack of
validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any
other Loan Document;

 

(ii)                                  the existence
of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or
any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any
such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such
Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any
unrelated transaction;

 

(iii)                               any draft,
demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

(iv)                              any payment by
the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such

 

37

 

Letter
of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver
or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

(v)                                 any other
circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

 

The Borrower shall promptly
examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is
delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the
Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately
notify the L/C Issuer.  The Borrower
shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C
Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

 

(f)                                    Role of L/C
Issuer.  Each
Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a
Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain
any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly
required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity
or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or
delivering any such document.  None of
the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall
be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the
Requisite Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of
any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is
not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights
and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or
under any other agreement.  None of the
L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties
nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)
through (v) of Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have
a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence
or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s)
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and
not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the

 

38

 

contrary,
and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g)                                 Cash Collateral.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
(i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request
under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing,
or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation
for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations.  Sections 2.06 and
8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral
hereunder.  For purposes of this
Section 2.04, Section 2.06 and
Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the
Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit
account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby
consented to by the Revolving Lenders). 
Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings.  The Borrower hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving
Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all
balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.

 

(h)                                 Applicability
of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed
by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including
any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of
the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

 

(i)                                     Letter of
Credit Fees.  The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
in accordance with its Revolving Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter
of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal
to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then
in effect under such Letter of Credit). 
Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in
arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end
of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period
during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, while any Event of
Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

 

(j)                                     Fronting Fee
and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account a

 

39

 

fronting
fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in
the Fee Letter, computed on the actual daily maximum amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then
in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis in arrears, and
due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date
and thereafter on demand.  In addition,
the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of
credit as from time to time in effect. 
Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable
on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(k)                                  Conflict with
Issuer Documents.  In the event
of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document,
the terms hereof shall control.

 

2.05.                        Swing Line Loans.

 

(a)                                  The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, to make loans
(each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any
Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount outstanding
not to exceed at any time the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the
Aggregate Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments minus the Reserve Amount, (iii) unless the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 4.03 have been satisfied, the Aggregate
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed $150,000,000 minus the Reserve
Amount, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans
of any Revolving Lender, plus that Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus that
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing
Line Loans shall not exceed that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and provided,
further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line
Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  The Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by
the note delivered by the Borrower to evidence the Swing Line Loans on the
Closing Date.  Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay under Section 2.06, and
reborrow under this Section 2.05. 
Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line
Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation
in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of that Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

 

(b)                                 Borrowing
Procedures.  Each Swing
Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative

 

40

 

Agent,
which may be given by telephone.  Each
such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall
specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of
$100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. 
Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing
Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents
thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender
has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent
(including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the
proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to
make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (B) that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line
Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such
Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of
the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

 

(c)                                  Refinancing of
Swing Line Loans.

 

(i)                                     The Swing Line
Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf
of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to
so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in
an amount equal to the product of that Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage times the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which
written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in
accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate
Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. 
The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the
applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the amount
specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan
Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to
the Borrower in such amount.  The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender.

 

41

 

(ii)                                  If for any
reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in
accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans
submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a
request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its
risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender
pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.

 

(iii)                               If any
Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by that
Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(i), the
Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from that Revolving Lender
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest
thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on
which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate
per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.  A certificate of the Swing
Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)                              Each Revolving
Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations
in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
that Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or
any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02.  No such funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)                                 Repayment of
Participations.

 

(i)                                     At any time
after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to that Revolving
Lender its Revolving Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which that
Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

42

 

(ii)                                  If any payment
received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any
Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any
of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Percentage
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative
Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Revolving Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Interest for Account
of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing
Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the
Swing Line Loans.  Until each Revolving
Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.05 to refinance that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of
any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Percentage shall be
solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f)                                    Payments
Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing
Line Lender.

 

2.06.                        Prepayments.

 

(a)                                  The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of
Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding.  Each such notice shall
specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be
prepaid.  The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of that Lender’s Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each such prepayment shall be applied to the
Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages.

 

(b)                                 The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay

 

43

 

Swing
Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment,
and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$500,000.  Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment. 
If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein.

 

(c)                                  If for any
reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Overall Commitments then
in effect minus the Reserve Amount, the Borrower shall immediately
prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to
this Section 2.06(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the
Total Outstandings exceed the Overall Commitments then in effect minus
the Reserve Amount.

 

2.07.                        Voluntary Termination or
Reduction of the Revolving Commitments.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time
permanently ratably reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided
that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount
of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
(iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Outstanding Amounts under the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (iv) if, after
giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced
by the amount of such excess.  The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of any such notice of
termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.  Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving
Lender according to its Revolving Percentage. 
All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such
termination.  Any voluntary reduction of
the Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.07 shall be applied to reduce
the Revolver Reduction Amounts due in respect of the Revolving Commitments in
the inverse order of their occurrence.

 

2.08.                        Scheduled Reductions of the
Revolving Commitments.  On each Quarterly Payment Date, the Revolving
Commitments shall automatically be ratably reduced by the applicable Revolver Reduction Amount.  If after giving effect to
the applicable Revolver Reduction Amount, the sum of (i) the aggregate
principal amount under the Revolving Notes, (ii) the Swing Line Outstandings
and (iii) the Letters of Credit Usage shall exceed the then effective Revolving
Commitment, Borrower shall immediately repay the outstanding Advances under the
Revolving Commitment to the extent in excess of the Revolving Commitment.

2.09.                        Amortization of the Term Loans;
Mandatory Repayment of the Obligations.

 

(a)                                  The Borrower

as set forth in the Term Joinder Agreement

 

(b)                                 In any event,
the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Revolving Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

 

(c)                                  The Borrower

ten Business Days after such Loan is made, or (ii) the Revolving Maturity
Date.

 

(d)                                 In any event,
the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Term Maturity Date the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date.

 

2.10.                        Interest.

 

(a)                                  Subject to the
provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at
a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     If any amount
of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable
grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

 

(ii)                                  If any amount
(other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan
Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods),
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request
of the Requisite Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii)                               Upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all
outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

 

45

 

(iv)                              Accrued and
unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest)
shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c)                                  Interest on
each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable
in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

2.11.                        Fees.                    In addition to
certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.04:

 

(a)                                  Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in
accordance with its Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the
Applicable Rate times Unused Revolver Availability for each day.  The commitment fee shall accrue at all times
during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more
of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Maturity Date.  The commitment fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during
any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

 

(b)                                 Upfront Fees.  On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay
to each Lender through the Administrative Agent certain upfront fees in the
amounts specified in the Fee Letter; each Lender having been heretofore advised
of the amount of the upfront fees to which it is entitled.

 

(c)                                  Arrangement Fee.  On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay
to BAS, for the account of Co-Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agent, certain
arrangement fees in the amounts specified in the Fee Letter; each of the
aforementioned Lenders having been heretofore advised by BAS and the Borrower
of the amount of the arrangement fees to which it is entitled.

 

(d)                                 Other Fees.  The Borrower shall pay
to the BAS and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees
in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and
shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.12.                        Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate
Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall
be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed.  All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the

 

46

 

basis of a 365-day
year).  Interest shall accrue on each
Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided
that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject
to Section 2.14(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative
Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.13.                        Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)                                  The Credit
Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
ordinary course of business.  The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit
Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments
thereon.  Any failure to so record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations.  In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error.  Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note,
which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records.  Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

(b)                                 In addition to
the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts
and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

2.14.                        Payments Generally;
Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)                                  General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall
be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff.  Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein.  The Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Revolving Percentage (or
other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as
received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding

 

47

 

Business
Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     Funding by
Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that
such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.03
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, transfer or make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is transferred or made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower,
the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping
period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)                                  Payments by
Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately
available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and

 

48

 

a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.

 

A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount
owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)                                  Failure to
Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided
in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are
not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)                                 Obligations of
Lenders Several.  The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to
Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan,
to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 10.04(c).

 

(e)                                  Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate
any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

2.15.                        Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right
of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or
participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro  rata
share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans
and other amounts owing them, provided that:

 

(i)                                     if any such
participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

49

 

(ii)                                  the provisions
of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations
in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other
than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of
this Section shall apply).

 

Each Loan Party consents to
the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

 

2.16.                        Addition of the Term Commitments.

 

(a)                                  Request for
Term Commitments.  Provided
that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing (or
would result therefrom), upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may request the extension of Term
Commitments in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100,000,000 either
by willing Lenders or by other Persons constituting Eligible Assignees who are
acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that any such request
for an addition shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000
and an integral multiple of $5,000,000. 
At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with
the Administrative Agent) shall specify:

 

(i)                                     the amount of
any upfront fees, if any, payable in connection with such additional Term
Commitments (which fees may be variable depending on the amount of the Term
Commitments offered by a prospective Lender);

 

(ii)                                  the rates of
interest to be paid in respect of the Term Loans (it being understood that, in
the relevant circumstances set forth in Section 2.10(b), the Default Rate may
hereafter apply in addition thereto);

 

(iii)                               the rate at
which the Term Loans will amortize (provided that without the consent of each
of the Revolving Lenders, the Terms Loans shall not amortize at rate which is
greater than 5% per annum of the initial principal amount thereof);

 

(iv)                              the Term Maturity
Date (provided that without the consent of each of the Revolving Lenders, the
Term Maturity Date may not be earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date); and

 

50

 

(v)                                 the proposed
Term Effective Date (which may be a range of dates during which the Grace Asset
Purchase is expected to concurrently occur).

 

(b)                                 Lenders Not
Obligated to Extend Term Loans.  No Lender shall be obligated to subscribe for
any Term Loans or any Term Commitments.

 

(c)                                  Effective Date
and Allocations.  If Term
Commitments are extended pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower shall determine (i) the effective date, which date shall be no
earlier than the consummation date of the Grace Asset Purchase (the “Term Effective
Date”), and (ii) the final allocations of the Term Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of the Term Loans
and the Term Effective Date.

 

(d)                                 Conditions to
Effectiveness of Term Commitments.  As a condition precedent to the extension of
Term Commitments, the Borrower shall:

 

(i)                                     Cause each
Person which assumes any Term Commitment to execute the Term Joinder Agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel
with respect thereto, pursuant to which such Person agrees to become a party to
this Agreement as a Lender and as a Term Lender;

 

(ii)                                  Pay to each
such Person any fees associated with the Term Commitment contemplated by clause
(a) of this Section that are required to be paid as a condition precedent to
the extension of the Term Commitments pursuant to a separate agreement between
the Borrower and such Person;

 

(iii)                               deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Term
Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible
Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and
(B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving
effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained
in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as
of the Term Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 2.16 the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a)
and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent
statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of
Section 6.01, and (2) no Default exists or would result therefrom;

 

(iv)                              deliver to the
Administrative Agent Term Notes executed by the Borrower in favor of each Term
Lender reflecting its Term Commitment;

 

51

 

(v)                                 deliver such
(a) amendments to the Loan Documents as shall be reasonably requested or
required by the Administrative Agent, which shall provide, among other things,
that the Liens and guaranties granted thereunder shall be in favor of the
Revolving Lenders and Term Lenders on an equal, ratable and pari passu basis,
(b) consents of the Loan Parties, and (c) favorable opinions of counsel from
counsel to the Loan Parties reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent
to, among other things, assure the continued priority and perfection of the
Administrative Agent’s Liens in respect of the Term Loans and the effectiveness
of the Guaranties to guarantee the Term Commitments;

 

(vi)                              deliver to the
Administrative Agent such endorsements to title insurance policies as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

 

(vii)                           deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Certificate of a Responsible Official of Borrower
stating that, concurrently with the Term Effective Date, the Grace Asset
Purchase shall be consummated in accordance with (and without any waiver of any
term or provision or closing condition of) the Grace Purchase Agreements and in
material compliance with all applicable Laws, and that all approvals of
Governmental Agencies required for the consummation of such transactions have
been obtained;

 

(viii)                        provide
evidence that all insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the Loan
Documents has been obtained and is in effect with respect to the assets which
are the subject of the Grace Asset Purchase; and

 

(ix)                                provide such
other assurances, certificates, documents, consents or opinions as the
Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders reasonably may require.

 

(e)                                  Conflicting
Provisions.  This
Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.15 or 10.01 to
the contrary.

ARTICLE
III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01.                        Taxes.

 

(a)                                  Payments Free
of Taxes.  Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction
or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that
if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
(iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)                                 Payment of
Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection
(a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification
by the Borrower.  The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C
Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)                                 Evidence of
Payments.  As soon as
practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)                                  Status of
Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of
the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall

 

53

 

deliver
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements.

 

Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax
purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by
the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request
of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is
legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(i)                                     duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

(ii)                                  duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

 

(iii)                               in the case of
a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and
(y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

 

(iv)                              any other form
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

 

(f)                                    Treatment of
Certain Refunds.  If the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to
the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as

 

54

 

the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the
event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that
it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

3.02.                        Illegality.  If
any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of
such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank
market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.03.                        Inability to Determine Rates.   If the
Requisite Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request
for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that
(a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Rate
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate
Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate
Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to that Lenders of funding
such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and
each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation
of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Requisite
Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for
a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

55

 

3.04.                        Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(a)                                  Increased Costs
Generally.  If any
Change in Law shall:

 

(1)                                  impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by
Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

 

(2)                                  subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a
Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to that Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof
(except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and
the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by
that Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

 

(3)                                  impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar
Loans made by that Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to that Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan),
or to increase the cost to that Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation
to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by that Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of
that Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to that Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)                                 Capital
Requirements.  If any
Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting that
Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of that Lender or that Lender’s
or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on that Lender’s or the
L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of
that Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held
by, that Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level
below that which that Lender or the L/C Issuer or that Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies
of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to that Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will

 

56

 

compensate
that Lender or the L/C Issuer or that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)                                  Certificates
for Reimbursement.  A
certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate that Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.  The Borrower shall pay that
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)                                 Delay in
Requests.  Failure or
delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute
a waiver of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such
compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).

 

(e)                                  Reserves on
Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The
Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as that Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by that Lender (as determined by that Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall
have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest from that Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days
prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be
due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

 

3.05.                        Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of
any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time,
the Borrower shall promptly compensate that Lender for and hold that Lender
harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)                                  any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan
(whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);

 

(b)                                 any failure by the Borrower
(for a reason other than the failure of that Lender to make a Loan) to
prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the
date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

 

57

 

(c)                                  any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

 

(d)                                 including any
loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay
any customary administrative fees charged by that Lender in connection with the
foregoing.

 

For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each
Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at
the Eurodollar Rate  for such Loan by a matching deposit or
other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan
was in fact so funded.

 

3.06.                        Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)                                  Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, then that Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of that Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the
need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject that Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to that Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

 

(b)                                 Replacement of
Lenders.  If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace that
Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07.                        Survival.  All of the
Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of
the Overall Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

58

Without limiting the

that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved
or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required
thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a

the other Type, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans) is subject to the
following conditions precedent:

 

(a)                                  The
representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party

correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 4.02, the representations and warranties contained in subsections

(c)                                  The
Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with
the requirements hereof.

 

Each Request for Credit
Extension (other than a Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to
the other Type or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans) submitted by the
Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the
conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on
and as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.

 

4.03.                        Reserved Portion of the
Revolving Commitments.  The obligation of the L/C Issuer and each
Lender to make any Credit Extension which results in the sum of the Aggregate
Revolving Obligations greater than $150,000,000 minus the Reserve Amount
is subject to Administrative Agent’s receipt of the following, each of which
shall be originals or telecopies (followed promptly by originals) unless
otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the
signing Loan Party, and each in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent:

 

(a)                                  an amendment to
the Deed of Trust executed by Flamingo Paradise with respect to the real
property and improvements constituting Terrible’s Hotel & Casino to secure
the Flamingo Paradise Guaranty increasing the amount of the secured obligations
thereunder to reflect the increase of the Revolving Commitment to $175,000,000
and to secure the Term Loans in an amount which is not less than $100,000,000;

 

61

 

(b)                                 an amendment to

reflect the increase of the Revolving Commitment to $175,000,000 and to secure
the Term Loans in an amount which is not less than $100,000,000;

(a)                                  The Audited

consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise
expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present the financial condition of
the

 

63

 

Borrower
and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for
the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted
therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities,
direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date
thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and
Indebtedness.

 

(b)                                 The unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated June 30,
2004 and the related consolidated statements of income or operations,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date
(i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout
the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and
(ii) fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the
period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the
absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.  Schedule 5.05 sets forth all material
indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements,
including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

 

(c)                                  Since the date
of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no event or circumstance,
either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)                                 The
consolidated forecasted balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(c)
were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein,
which assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the time of
delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of delivery, the
Borrower’s best estimate of its future financial performance.

 

5.06.                        Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, proceedings,
claims or disputes pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries after due and diligent investigation, threatened or contemplated,
at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or
against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their
properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.06,
either individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely, could

adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof, of the matters described on Schedule 5.06.

 

5.07.                        No Default.  Neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any

contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real
property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for
such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The property of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by
Section 7.01.

 

5.09.                        Environmental Compliance.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course
of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims
alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any
Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties,
and as a result thereof the Borrower has reasonably concluded that, except as
specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.09, such Environmental Laws and
claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.10.                        Insurance.  The
properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially
sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such

carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar
properties in localities where the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary
operates.

 

5.11.                        Taxes.  The

tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state
and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges
levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due
and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves
have been provided in accordance with GAAP.

sharing agreement.

the Code and other Federal or state Laws. 
Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the
Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application
for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto
and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, nothing has
occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.  The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have
made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the
Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any
amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with
respect to any Plan.

 

(b)                                 There are no
pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental
Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.  There has been
no prohibited transaction or violation of

 

65

 

the
fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which,
with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in
such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or
4212(c) of ERISA.

 

5.13.                        Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.  As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other
than those specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.13, and all of the
outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are
fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by a Loan Party in the amounts
specified on Schedule 5.13 free and clear of all Liens.  The Borrower has no equity investments in
any other corporation or entity other than those specifically disclosed in
Schedule 5.13.  All of the
outstanding Equity Interests in the Borrower have been validly issued and are
fully paid and nonassessable, and are, as of the Effective Date, owned by the
Principals.

 

5.14.                        Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act; Public Utility
Holding Company Act.

 

(a)                                  The Borrower is
not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important
activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the
meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

 

(b)                                 None of the
Borrower, any Person Controlling the Borrower, or any Subsidiary (i) is a
“holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” or an
“affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding
company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
or (ii) is or is required to be registered as an “investment company”

or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf
of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified
or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Borrower represents only that such

 

66

 

information
was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at
the time.

 

5.16.                        Compliance with Laws.  Each of the
Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the
requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees
applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which
(a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or
(b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent
rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights
(collectively, “IP Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of
their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other
Person.  To the best knowledge of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, no slogan or other advertising device, product,
process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now
contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon
any rights held by any other Person. 
Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.17, no claim or
litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge

Effective Date Borrower and its Subsidiaries are party to Route Agreements
providing for the operation of not less than 6800 slot machines, video poker
machines or other electronic gaming devises at premises owned or operated by
the counterparties thereto.  There is no
default on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Route
Agreements accounting, in the aggregate, for more than 5% of the EBITDA of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries which would entitle the counterparties to such
Route Agreements to terminate the same.

 

(b)                                 As of the
Effective Date, no default on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
exists under any of the Casino Leases which would entitle the landlords under
any of the Casino Leases to terminate the same.

(a)  As of the Effective Date, the principal
balance of the Existing Senior Secured Notes is $4,071,000.

covenants of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of the Existing Senior
Secured Notes (other than the covenant to make payments in

 

67

 

respect thereof when due and
certain other minor informational covenants and the like) are no longer binding
upon the Borrower (it being acknowledged that the trustee for the holders of
the Existing Senior Secured Notes shall retain its security therefor until the

The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that (a) certain portions of the Information (the “Borrower
Materials”) will be made available by the Administrative Agent and/or the
Arranger to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer by posting the Borrower Materials on
IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and
(b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e.,
Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with
respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  The Borrower hereby agrees that
(w) Borrower will clearly and conspicuously mark all Borrower Materials
that are to be made available to Public Lenders “PUBLIC” (which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page
thereof); (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall
be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the L/C
Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly
available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive
and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower
Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion
of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative
Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that
are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the
Platform not designated “Public Investor.” 
While the use of Platforms is an approved method of distributing
information, the use of Platforms by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger,
the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be subject to their obligations under
Section 10.7.

 

71

 

6.03.                        Notices.  Promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same
or similar business, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily
carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons  and providing for not less
than 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent of termination, lapse or
cancellation of such insurance.

 

(b)                                 Without
limitation on the foregoing, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall maintain
liability, casualty and other insurance which is consistent with the coverages
(including all deductibles and retentions) maintained by Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date. 
All such insurance shall be carried through insurance companies rated A+
or better by A.M. Best.

 

(c)                                  In any event,
Borrower shall maintain and keep in force the following insurance:

policies of builder’s “all risk” insurance in nonreporting form in an amount
not less than the full insurable completed value of such portion of the
affected Property on a replacement cost basis;

 

(ii)                                  a policy or

(iii)                               business
interruption insurance (including insurance against income loss during a period
of at least one year);

 

(iv)                              comprehensive
liability insurance naming on an “occurrence” basis, against claims for
“personal injury” liability, including bodily injury, death or property damage
liability, with an aggregate limit of not less than $25,000,000;

 

73

 

(v)                                 policies of

(including employer’s liability insurance, if required by the Administrative
Agent), covering all employees of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and each relevant
contractor and subcontractor; and

 

(vi)                              If any Property
is required to be insured pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973
or the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, because it is located in an area which has been identified by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as a Flood Hazard Area, then
Borrower shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times a flood insurance
policy covering the Property in limits that would exceed the damage caused by
what is expected to be the most severe flood (or any greater limits to the
extent required by applicable law from time to time).

 

(c)                                  Each such
policy shall name the Administrative Agent as an additional insured, and shall
to the extent relevant, include a waiver of subrogation against the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, contain a provision that provides for a
severability of interests, and shall provide that an act or omission by one of
the insured shall not reduce or avoid coverage with respect to the other
insureds, insure against loss or damage by hazards customarily included within
“all risk” and “extended coverage” policies and any other risks or hazards
which the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may reasonably specify
(and shall include boiler and machinery insurance), shall contain a Lender’s
Loss Payable Endorsement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent in
favor of the Administrative Agent and shall be primary and noncontributory with
any other insurance carried by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

hereunder and any other policy of insurance maintained in connection with any
of the Property, and, if requested, an original or underlyer of each such
policy and all endorsements thereto. 
When any insurance policy required hereunder expires, Borrower shall
furnish the Administrative Agent with proof acceptable to the Administrative
Agent that the policy has been reinstated, renewed or a new policy issued,
continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy which expired.  If Borrower fails to pay any such premium,
the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
obtain reasonable replacement coverage and advance funds to pay the premiums
for it on behalf of the Lenders. 
Borrower shall repay the Administrative Agent immediately on demand for
any advance for such premiums, which shall be considered to be an additional
Loan bearing interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate.

 

6.08.                        Compliance with Laws.  Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws
and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its
business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such
requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted; or (b) the
failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

74

record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with

matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary,
as the case may be.

 

6.10.                        Inspection Rights.  Permit representatives and
independent contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit
and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and
operating records, and (subject to Section 10.07) to make copies thereof or
abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its
directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all at the expense of
the Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the
Borrower; provided, however, that when an Event of Default exists
the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective
representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the
expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and without
advance notice.  The Administrative
Agent acknowledge that the provisions of the Borrower’s Route Agreements are of
a confidential and proprietary nature.

 

6.11.                        Use of Proceeds.  Use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions
for proper working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document and
(c) with respect to the Term Commitments added pursuant to Section 2.16, for

certificates shall be maintained by the Administrative Agent in the State of
Nevada);

and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Guaranty or a joinder to a Guaranty,
as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate for such purpose, and

and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, a Deed of Trust and other
Collateral Documents in relation thereto.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section, at any time prior to the consummation
of the Grace Asset Purchase when no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and remains continuing, the Borrower may form an Issuance Subsidiary, which
shall not be required to guarantee the Obligations or to grant Liens securing
the Obligation in respect of any of its Property until the date of the
consummation of the Grace Asset Purchase or its merger or consolidation with
the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, provided that the
Issuance Subsidiary shall not engage in any business other than the issuance of
Senior Subordinated Notes, the investment of the proceeds thereof (and any
additional amounts contributed to the Issuance Subsidiary by the Borrower in
accordance with Section 7.02(d)) in the Escrow Account, and activities
ancillary thereto pending the consummation of the Grace Asset Purchase.

to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be
terminated;

all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other
amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

 

(c)                                  require that the Borrower Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding

(d)                                  exercise on behalf of itself and the
Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan

provided, however, that upon the
occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to
the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of
each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C
Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of
all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall
automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to
Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become
effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that its
ability to pursue the remedies described above is subject to, and limited by,
the terms of applicable Gaming Laws.

 

8.03.                     Application of Funds. 
After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or
after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the
L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as
set forth in the

 

88

 

proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on
account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the
following order:

 

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations
constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts
payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity
as such;

 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations
constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and
interest) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees and time charges for
attorneys who may be employees of any Lender or the L/C Issuer) and
amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the
amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations
constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other
Obligations (including without limitation Secured Swap Contracts, ratably among
the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (and, in the case of any Secured Swap Contracts,
any relevant Affiliate of any Lender counterparties thereto)), ratably among
the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Third payable to them;

 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Fourth held by them;

 

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of
the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and

 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by Law.

 

Subject to
Section 2.04(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn
amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be
applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash
Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired,
such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the
order set forth above.

of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither
the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

9.02.                     Rights as a Lender. 
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. 
Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03.                     Exculpatory Provisions.  The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)                                  shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing;

 

(b)                                  shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by
the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 

(c)                                  shall not, except as expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.

 

90

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of
the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith
shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01
and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent.

 

9.04.                     Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
Person.  The Administrative Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by
it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon.  In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from
such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance
of such Letter of Credit.  The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05.                     Delegation of Duties. 
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

91

 

9.06.                     Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. 
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting
the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the
Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
above in this Section.  Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor.  After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting
as Administrative Agent.

 

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as
L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  Upon
the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
(a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall
issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations
of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

9.07.                     Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other
Lenders. 
Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any
of their Related Parties and based on such

 

92

 

documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08.                     No
Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Lead Arrangers or Syndication Agent
listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or
the L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

9.09.                     Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

 

(a)                                  to release any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document
(i) upon termination of the Overall Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration
or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold
as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders;

 

(b)                                 to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the
holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(k);
and

 

(c)                                  to release any Subsidiary from its
Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder.

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,
the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items
of property, or to release any Subsidiary from its Guaranty pursuant to this
Section 9.09.

provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).

 

(b)                                  Electronic Communications. 
Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including

by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege

rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

(b)                                  Indemnification by the Borrower. 
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead
Arrangers and the Syndication Agent (and any sub-agents of such persons), each
Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for any Indemnitee), and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and
disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee,

with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or
proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer
to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents
presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release
of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any
other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the
Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in
its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)                                  Reimbursement by Lenders. 
To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay
any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to

 

98

 

pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Revolving Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity
as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with
such capacity.  The obligations of the
Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.14(d).

 

(d)                                  Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. 
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall
not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b)
above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

(e)                                  Payments.  All amounts
due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days
after demand therefor.

 

(f)                                    Survival.  The
agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer,
the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Overall Commitments and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

10.05.              Payments Set Aside. 
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made
to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the
extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each
Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of

 

99

 

the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06.              Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                                  Successors and Assigns Generally. 
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that neither
the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this
Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(h) of this Section 10.06 and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any
party hereto shall be null and void). 
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection
(d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

 

(b)                                  Assignments by Lenders. 
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at
the time owing to it); provided that:

 

(i)                                     except in the case of an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans
at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than, with respect to (A) Revolving Commitments or
Revolving Loans, $5,000,000 and (B) Term Commitments or Term Loans, $1,000,000,  unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

 

100

 

(ii)                                  each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitments
assigned, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of
Swing Line Loans;

 

(iii)                               each assignment must be approved by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the
Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed
assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

 

(iv)                              the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and
10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment.  Upon request,
the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with subsection (d) of this Section.

 

(c)                                  Register.  The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by each of the Borrower and the L/C Issuer at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  In addition, at any time that a request for
a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending,
any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may
request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

 

101

 

(d)                                  Participations. 
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of
that Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of any of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including that Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
that (i) that Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) that Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall
continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with that
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 

Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first
proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05  to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section.  To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08  as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
Lender.

 

(e)                                  Limitations upon Participant Rights. 
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04  than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 
A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is
notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as
though it were a Lender.

 

(f)                                    Certain Pledges. 
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if
any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment
to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such
pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

 

(g)                                 Electronic Execution of Assignments. 
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import
in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be
of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually

 

102

 

executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act.

 

(h)                                 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as
such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any
Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to
this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to
exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan,
the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms
hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent as is required under Section 2.14(b)(ii).  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant
to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs
or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04),
(ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and
(iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval
of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan
Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were
made by such Granting Lender.  In
furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement
shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that
is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join
any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500,
assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any
Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Contingent Obligation or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

 

(i)                                    Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of
its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may,
(i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C
Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing
Line Lender.  In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line

 

103

 

Lender hereunder; provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be.  If Bank of America resigns as
L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect
thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or
fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)).  If Bank of
America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made
by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c).

 

10.07.              Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the
consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary.  Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information, provided that the use of the IntraLinks system (or
any other similar Platform described in Section 6.02) in the manner described
in that Section shall be consistent with the obligations of the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under this sentence.

 

104

 

10.08.              Right
of Setoff. 
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, but only after obtaining the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrower or such Loan Party may
be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness.  The
rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective
Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and
the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application.

 

10.09.              Interest Rate Limitation. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document,
the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not
exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law
(the “Maximum Rate”).  If the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal
of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the
Borrower.  In determining whether the
interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a
Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate,
and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10.              Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  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.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto.  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.

 

105

 

10.11.              Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All
representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith
or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have
been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any
Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any
Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or
any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

10.12.              Severability.  If any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not
be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible
to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

10.13.              Replacement of Lenders.  If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any
other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to
replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by,
Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that:

 

(a)                                  the Borrower shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)                                  such Lender shall have received payment
of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts);

 

(c)                                  in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

106

 

(d)                                  such assignment does not conflict with
applicable Laws.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14.              Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)                                  GOVERNING LAW. 
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEVADA.

 

(b)                                  SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. 
THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN
PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
SITTING IN CLARK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE DISTRICT
OF NEVADA, 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 OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH
NEVADA STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO 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 IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY
RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR
ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION.

 

(c)                                  WAIVER OF VENUE. 
THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN
PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO
THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. 
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE
MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

107

 

(d)                                  SERVICE OF PROCESS. 
EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER
PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. 
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO
SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

10.15.              Waiver of Jury Trial. 
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND

10.16.              Arbitration Reference.

 

(a)                                  At the option of the Administrative Agent
from time to time (exercised in accordance with consent of the Requisite
Lenders) or of Borrower, any controversy or claim between or among the parties
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any agreements or instruments
relating hereto or delivered in connection herewith and any claim based on or
arising from an alleged tort, shall be determined by arbitration.  The arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the United States Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code),
notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the
Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The arbitrators shall give effect to
statutes of limitation in determining any claim.  Any controversy concerning whether an issue is arbitrable shall
be determined by the arbitrators. 
Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction.  The institution and
maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or
ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party,
including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if
any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

 

(b)                                 No provision of this section shall limit
the right of any party to this Agreement to exercise self-help remedies such as
setoff, to foreclose against or sell any real or personal property collateral
or security or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of
competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration
or other proceeding.  The exercise of a
remedy does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration or
reference.  At the Administrative
Agent’s option,

 

108

 

foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may be
accomplished either by exercise of power of sale under the deed of trust or
mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.

 

10.17.              USA PATRIOT Act Notice. 
Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the
“Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower
and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 

10.18.              Time of the Essence. 
Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

 

10.19.              Designation as Senior Debt.  All
Obligations are hereby certified and designated to be “Designated Senior
Indebtedness” for purposes of and as defined in that the Indenture dated as of

10.20.              Waiver re Landlord
Consents and Pledge.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
hereby waive any failure of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to comply with
the terms of the Existing Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents (as in effect
prior to this Agreement) in respect of the failure of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries to make timely delivery of landlord consents and the pledge of the

or liens in the nature thereof, for work and labor done, or materials furnished
at the instance and request of the Lessee, in, on or about the Property;
provided, however, that the Lessee shall have the right to contest the claim of
such lien, in which event the Lessee shall, at his expense, furnish to the
Lessor a sufficient surety bond executed by a reputable and responsible surety
company, in at least double the amount of such claim of such lien, conditioned
upon the diligent prosecution of such defense, and to hold the Lessor from

1.                                       PARTIES. 
This Lease (this “Lease”)
is made and entered into as of the 9th day of February, 1994, by and between THE 1993 SAMUEL JOSEPHSON REVOCABLE FAMILY TRUST under
Declaration of Trust dated September 13, 1993 (“Landlord”) and PHOENIX ASSOCIATES, a Nevada limited partnership (“Tenant”).  This Lease is made in furtherance of the sale (the “Sale”) of the “Premises” (as hereinbelow defined) by Tenant
to Landlord effective concurrently with the effectiveness hereof.

 

2.                                       PREMISES. 
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord,
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the building currently known
as “Lucky Strike Casino & Bowl,”
formerly known as “Henderson Bowl,”
and commonly described as 642 South Boulder Highway, Henderson, Nevada (the “Premises”), together with any and all
related realty conveyed to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to the Sale.  Tenant accepts the Premises “as is.”

 

3.                                       TERM. 
The term (the “Term”) of
the leasehold interest granted herein shall be for twenty (20) years effective
upon the consummation of the Sales; provided, however, that Tenant shall have
five (5) consecutive extension options thereafter to extend the Term for an
additional ten (10) years per each such extension option upon written notice to
Landlord prior to expiration of the Term as then in effect and under the
terms and conditions as provided in this Lease except that the Basic Rent
in respect of such option periods shall be equal to the amount thereof
immediately prior to commencement of each such option period plus the
additional sum of $2,500 monthly and that such Basic Rent shall again increase
by $2,500 monthly after the completion of the fifth year of each such option
period.

 

4.                                       RENT. 
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as basic rent (the “Basic Rent”) for the Premises, monthly in
arrears on the last day of each month during the Term, the following
sums:  during the first five years of the Term, $25,000 monthly,
during the sixth through tenth years of the Term, $27,500 monthly, during the
eleventh through fifteenth years of the Term, $30,000 monthly, and during the
sixteenth through twentieth years of the Term, $32,500 monthly.  Rent for any period during the Term of this
Lease which is for less than one (1) month shall be a pro rata portion of
the monthly installation paid on the last day of the month
in question.  Rent shall be payable
without notice or demand and without any deduction, off-set, or abatement in
lawful money of the United States to the Landlord at the address stated herein
for notices or to such other persons or such other places as Landlord may
designate to Tenant in writing.

 

5.                                       INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

 

6.                                       USE. 
Tenant may utilize the Premises in any manner it determines and for any
purpose not wholly inconsistent with its present use unless it receives
Landlord’s consent to such other purpose (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall only be withheld for good cause upon a
reasonable basis) provided that it does not breach any
applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations.  Landlord covenants to cooperate in all

 

1

 

may seek with respect to the Property, any operations thereat, any
adjacent property, and/or any operations thereat.  Landlord expressly acknowledges that there is no express or
implied covenant of continuous operation of Tenant hereunder.

 

7.                                       TAXES. 
Tenant shall pay all real property taxes and general assessments levied
and assessed against the Premises during the Term of this Lease.  Tenant shall pay prior to the delinquency
all taxes assessed against and levied upon the trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment, and other personal property of Tenant contained in the
Premises.  Tenant shall endeavor to
cause such trade fixtures, furnishings, and equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the property of
Landlord.  If any of Tenant’s sole
personal property shall be assessed with Landlord’s property, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord the taxes attributable to Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt
of a written statement from Landlord setting forth the taxes applicable to
Tenant’s property.

 

8.                                       UTILITIES. 
Tenant shall make all arrangements and pay for all water, gas,
heat, light, power, telephone, and other utility services supplied to the
Premises together with any taxes thereon and for all connection
charges.  If any such services are not
separately metered to Tenant, the Tenant shall pay a reasonable
proportion, to be determined by Landlord, of all charges jointly metered with
other premises.

 

9.                                       MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.  Landlord shall have no obligations to
maintain or repair the Premises.

 

10.                                 ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.  Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, make
any alterations, improvements, or additions in or about the Premises as Tenant
may determine.  Before commencing any
work relating to the alterations, additions, or improvements affecting the
Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the expected date of the
commencement of such work so that Landlord can post and record the appropriate
notices of non-responsibility to protect Landlord from any mechanic’s liens,
materialman liens, or any other liens. 
In any event, Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor and
materials furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in the Premises.  Tenant shall not permit any
mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens to be levied against the Premises
for any labor or material furnished to Tenant or claims to have been furnished
to Tenant or Tenant’s agents or contractor in connection with work or any character
performed or claimed to have been performed on the Premises by or at the
direction of Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right
to contest the validity of any such lien if, immediately on demand by Landlord,
Tenant procures and records a lien release bond meeting the requirements of
Landlord and shall provide for the payment of any sum that the claimant
may recover on the claim (together with the costs of suit, if it is recovered
in the action).

 

11.                                 FIRE INSURANCE.  Tenant at its cost shall maintain during the Term of this Lease
on the Premises a policy or policies of standard fire and extended coverage
insurance from an insurer acceptable to Landlord to the extent of at least
full replacement value thereof or such greater amount as set forth
below.  Said insurance policies shall be
issued in the names of Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear
and shall be in such form and amount as are satisfactory to Landlord, in
its sole reasonable discretion.  Tenant
at its cost shall maintain during the Term of this Lease on all its
personal property, Tenant’s improvements and

 

2

 

alterations in or about the Premises, a policy of standard fire and
extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief
enforcements, to the extent of their full replacement value.  The proceeds from any such policy shall be
used by Tenant for the replacement of personal property or the restoration of
Tenant’s improvements or alterations.

 

12.                                 LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall
maintain during the Term of this Lease public liability and property damage
insurance, from an insurer and in form acceptable to Landlord, with a single
combined liability limit of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and
property damage limits of not less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00), insuring against all liability of Tenant and its authorized
representatives arising out of and in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy
of the Premises.  Both public liability insurance and property damage
insurance shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions below,
but the limits of such insurance shall not, however, limit the liability
of Tenant hereunder.  Both Landlord and
Tenant shall be named as additional insureds, and the policies shall contain
cross-liability endorsements.  If Tenant
shall fail to procure and maintain such insurance, Landlord may, but shall not
be required to, procure and maintain same at the expense of Tenant and the
cost thereof shall become due and payable as additional rental to Landlord
together with Tenant’s next rental installment.

 

13.                                 INDEMNITY, ETC.

 

(a)                                  Hold Harmless. 
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all claims arising from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the
Premises or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or
things which may be permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises
including all damage, costs, attorney fees, expenses, and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any claim or action or proceeding arising
therefrom.  Except for Landlord’s
willful or negligent conduct, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to person in or about the Premises from any cause and Tenant
hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord.

 

(b)                                 Waiver of Subrogation.  Tenant and Landlord each waives any and all
rights of recovery against the other or against the officers, employees, agents,
and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to such waiving
party or its property or the property of others under its control where such
loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy in force at the
time of such loss or damage.  Each party
shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it hereunder to provide that the
insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation
against either party in connection with any damage covered by any such policy.

 

(c)                                  Exemption
of Landlord from Liability.  Tenant
hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury to Tenant’s
business or loss of income therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares,
merchandise, or other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers,
or any other person in or about the Premises, nor shall Landlord be liable
for injury to the person of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors,
or invitees, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction, or other defect of pipes,

 

3

 

sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning, or lighting
fixtures, or from any other cause, whether such damage results from conditions
arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building in which the
Premises are a part, or from any other sources or places.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the
building in which the Premises are located.

 

14.                                 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

 

(a)                                  Damage - Insured.  If, during the Term of this Lease, the
Premises and/or the building and other improvements in which the Premises are
located are totally or partially destroyed rendering the Premises totally or
partially inaccessible or unusable, and such damage or destruction was caused
by a casualty covered under and insurance policy required to be maintained
hereunder, Landlord shall restore the Premises and/or the building and other
improvements in which the Premises are located into substantially the same
condition as they were in immediately before such damage or destruction,
provided that the restoration can be made under the existing laws and can be
completed within one hundred eighty (180) working days after the date of such
destruction or damage.  Such destruction
or damage shall not terminate this Lease. 
If the restoration cannot be made in said 180 day period, then within
fifteen (15) days after the parties hereto determine that the restoration
cannot be made in the time stated in this paragraph, Tenant may terminate
this Lease and immediately by giving notice to Landlord and the Lease will be
deemed canceled as of the date of such damage or destruction.  If
Tenant fails to terminate this Lease and the restoration is permitted under the
existing laws, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease or restore the
Premises and/or any other improvements in which the Premises are located within
a reasonable time and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If the existing laws do not permit the
restoration, either party can terminate this Lease immediately by giving notice
to the other party.  Notwithstanding the
above, if the Tenant is the insuring party and if the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord are not sufficient to effect such repair, Landlord shall
give notice to Tenant of the amount required in addition to the insurance
proceeds to effect such repair.  Tenant may,
at Tenant’s option, contribute the required amount, but upon failure to do so
within forty-five (45) days following such notice, Landlord’s sole remedy
shall be, at Landlord’s option and with no liability to Tenant, to cancel
and terminate this Lease.  If Tenant
shall contribute such amount to Landlord within said forty-five (45) day
period, Landlord shall make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  Tenant shall in no event have any right to reimbursement of any
amount so contributed.

 

(b)                                 Damage – Uninsured.  In the event that the Premises are damaged
or destroyed by a casualty which is not covered by the fire and extended
coverage insurance which is required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to
Article 11(a) above, the Landlord shall restore the same; provided that if
the damage or destruction is to any extent greater than ten percent (10%) of
the then replacement cost of the improvements on the Premises (exclusive
of Tenant’s trade fixtures and equipment and exclusive of foundations and
footings), then Landlord may elect not to restore and to terminate this
Lease.  Landlord must give to Tenant
written notice of its intention not to restore within thirty (30) days from the
date of such damage or destruction and, if not given, Landlord shall be
deemed to have elected to restore and in such event shall repair any
damage as soon as reasonably possible. 
In the event that Landlord elects to give such notice of Landlord’s
intention to cancel and terminate this Lease

 

4

 

Tenant shall have the right, within ten (10) days after receipt of such
notice, to give written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to repair such
damage at Tenant’s expense, without reimbursement from Landlord, in which event
the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall proceed to
make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible.  If Tenant does not give such notice within such 10 day
period, this Lease shall be canceled and be deemed terminated as the date of
the occurrence of such damage or destruction.

 

(c)                                  Damage Near the End of the Term.  If the Premises are totally or
partially destroyed or damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Term
of this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, cancel and terminate this
Lease as of the date of the cause of such damage by giving written notice to
Tenant of Landlord’s election to do so within 30 days after the date of the
occurrence of such damage; provided, however, that, if the damage or
destruction occurs within the last 12 months of the term and if within ten
(10) days after the date of such damage or destruction Tenant exercise any
option to extend the term provided herein, Landlord shall restore the Premises
if obligated to do so as provided in subparagraph (a) or (b) above.

 

(d)                                 Abatement of Rent.  If the Premises are partially or totally
destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores them pursuant
to the provisions of this Article 14, the rent payable hereunder for the
period during which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s reasonable use of the
Premises is impaired.

 

(e)                                  Trade Fixtures and Equipment.  If Landlord is required or elects to
restore the Premises as provided in this Article, Landlord shall not be
required to restore Tenant’s improvements, trade fixtures, interior
improvements, or equipment except to the extent such is a part of the Premises
upon the commencement hereof, or to restore any alterations made by Tenant
and restoration of such excluded items shall be the sole responsibility of
Tenant.

 

15.                                 CONDEMNATION.  If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken by the power of
eminent domain, or sold by Landlord under the threat of exercise of said power
(all of which is herein referred to as “condemnation”),
this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the
condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first.  If more than twenty percent (20%) of
the floor area of any building on the Premises, or more than twenty percent
(20%) of the land area of the Premises not covered with buildings is taken by
condemnation, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date
the condemning authority takes possession, by notice in writing of such
election within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have notified Tenant of
such taking or, in the absence of such notice, then within twenty (20) days
after the condemning authority shall have taken possession.  If this Lease is not terminated by
either Landlord or Tenant as provided hereinabove, then it shall remain in full
force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, provided that the
rental shall be reduced in proportion to the floor area of the building taken
within the Premises as bears to the total floor area of all buildings
located on the Premises to a complete unit of like quality and character
as existed prior to the condemnation. 
Rent shall be abated or reduced during the period from the date of
taking until the completion of restoration by Landlord, but all other
obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall remain in full force and

 

5

 

effect.  The abatement or
reduction of the rent shall be based on the extent to which the restoration
interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

 

16.                                 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING; FINANCING.  Tenant may on one or more occasion assign or
sublet all or any portion of the Premises to any party, without any consent of
Landlord being required in connection therewith; provided, however, that no
such assignment(s) or sublease(s) shall in any way relieve Tenant of any of its
obligations under this Lease.  In
addition, Tenant shall have the right to place such financing as it may elect
secured by its rights under this Lease and/or any of Tenant’s equipment,
fixtures, or other personalty located at the Premises and Landlord shall
cooperate with any such financing by Tenant and execute such reasonable
agreements of attornment, access, and/or consent as any such lender(s) to
Tenant may request.

 

17.                                 DEFAULT. 
The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a
default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: 
failure to pay rent within ten (1) days of the date due, or failure to
perform any other provision of this Lease if the failure to perform is not
cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given to
Tenant by Landlord; provided, however that if the default cannot reasonably be
cured within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be in default under
this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day
period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

 

Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits a default
under this Lease.  These remedies
are not exclusive but are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now
or hereafter allowed by law.  During the
period that Tenant is in default, Landlord can enter the Premises and
relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for
Tenant’s account.  Tenant shall be
liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting
the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of
remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs.  Reletting can be for a period shorter or
longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. 
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due under the Lease on the dates
the rent is due, less the rent Landlord received from any reletting.  No act by Landlord allowed by this paragraph
shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects
to terminate this Lease.  If Landlord
elects to relet the Premises as provided in this paragraph, any rent that
Landlord receives from such reletting shall apply first to the payment of any
indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than the rent due from Tenant
to Landlord; secondly, to all costs, including maintenance, incurred by
Landlord in such reletting; and third, to any rent due and unpaid under this
Lease.  After deducting the payments
referred to in this paragraph, any sum remaining from the rent Landlord
receives from such reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment
of future rent as rent becomes due under this Lease.  In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any
excess rent received by Landlord.  If,
on the date rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from reletting is
less than the rent due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition
to the remaining rent due, all costs, including maintenance, that Landlord
shall have incurred in reletting that remain after applying the rent
received from the reletting as provided in this paragraph.  No act by Landlord other than giving written
notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. 
In the event that Landlord suffers any damages for late fees or any
other costs or charges under indebtedness secured by the Premises as a
result of any late payment of rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent an amount equal to such late fees owed

 

6

 

by Landlord.  Acts of
maintenance, efforts t relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on
Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest in this Lease shall not
constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.  In the event of such termination, Landlord
has the right to recover from Tenant: 
(i) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent
that had been earned at the time of the termination of this Lease; (ii)the
worth, at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
that would have been earned after the date of the termination of this
Lease until the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss of
rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the
worth, at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss
of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any
other amount, including court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord
for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default.  “The
worth at the time of the award” as referred to in this paragraph is
to be computed by discounting the amount at the “prime rate” of interest of First Interstate Bank of
Nevada, N.A. in effect from time to time plus four percent (4%).  If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s
default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any
sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to
Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid by a later date
shall bear interest at the “prime rate”
of interest of First Interstate bank of Nevada, N.A. in effect from time
to time plus four percent (4%) until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.  The sum, together with interest thereon,
shall be considered additional rent.

 

18.                                 SIGNS. 
Tenant shall have the right to place, construct, or maintain any sign,
advertisement, awning, banner, or other exterior decorations on the building or
other improvements that are a part of the Premises without Landlord’s consent.

 

19.                                 EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Lease is effective immediately upon and shall commence upon
the date of the consummation of the Sale.

 

20.                                 SUBORDINATION.  This Lease, at Landlord’s option from time to time, shall be
subordinated to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or any other
hypothecation for security hereafter placed upon the real property of which the
Premises are a part or the lease therefor and to any and all advances made on
the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions
thereof.  In connection with any such
subordination, upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall obtain from the lender or
other secured party in question an agreement of non-disturbance providing, in
substance, that Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be
disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall
pay the rent and observe and perform all the other provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.

 

21.                                 SURRENDER. 
On the last day of the Term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Tenant
shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition, broom clean,
ordinary wear and tear accepted.  Tenant
shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by its use thereof or
by the removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, and equipment
which repair shall include the patching and filling of holes and repair of
structural damage.  Tenant shall remove
all of its personal property and fixtures on the Premises prior to the expiration
of the term of this Lease and if required by Landlord pursuant to
Article 10 above, any alterations, improvements, or additions made by
Tenant to the Premises.  If Tenant fails

 

7

 

to surrender the Premises to Landlord on the expiration of the Lease as
required by this paragraph, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from all
damages resulting from Tenant’s failure to vacate the Premises, including,
without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant resulting from
Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises.

 

22.                                 HOLDING OVER.  If Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, remains in possession
of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the term of this
Lease, such possession by Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenancy from month-to-month
at a rental in the amount of the last monthly rental plus all other
charges payable hereunder, upon all the provisions of this Lease applicable to
month-to-month tenancy.

 

23.                                 BINDING ON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms, conditions, and covenants of the
Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the
parties hereto, their heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns.

 

24.                                 NOTICES. 
Whenever under this Lease a provision is made for any demand, notice, or
declaration of any kind, it shall be in writing and served either personally or

25.                                 CHOICE OF LAW.  This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

27.                                 WAIVERS. 
No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed
a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by
Tenant of the same or any other provision.  Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed
to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval
of any subsequent act by Tenant. 
The acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of
any proceeding breach by Tenant of any provision hereof, other than the failure
of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s

rent.

 

28.                                 INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; CONSTRUCTION OF
THIS LEASE.  This Lease
contains all agreements of parties with respect to any matter mentioned
herein.  No prior agreement or
understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.  This Lease may be modified only in writing,
and signed by the parties in interest at the time of such
modification.  Each party to this Lease
and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Lease.  The normal rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be
employed in the interpretation of this Lease or of any amendments or
exhibits to this Lease.

 

29.                                 SEVERABILITY.  The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any
provision of this Lease shall not render the other provisions hereof
unenforceable, invalid, or illegal.

 

30.                                 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.  Tenant, within ten (10) days after notice
from Landlord, shall execute and deliver to Landlord, addressed to any party
directed by Landlord and on form prescribed by Landlord, a certificate

full force and effect as modified, and stating the modification(s).  The certificate shall further state the
amount of minimum monthly rent, the dates of which rent has been paid in
advance, the amount of any security deposit. 
The certificate shall also acknowledge that there are not, to Tenant’s
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or it shall specify
such defaults, if any, which are claimed, and shall state such
further matters (and be from any or all of the Guarantors if requested by
Landlord) as Landlord may reasonably request.

 

31.                                 COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS.  Each provision of this Lease performable by

34.                                 PURCHASE OPTION.  During the Term hereof (which for all purposes is deemed
terminated upon eviction of Tenant), as may be extended from time to time,
Tenant shall have the right to reacquire the fee simple interest in and to
the Premises, on such notice and on such schedule as it may deem
appropriate for a price equal to the greater of (i) 120 times the amount
of monthly Basic Rent in effect at the time of notice of such reacquisition
or (ii) during the first year of the Term $3,050,000 and thereafter
$3,100,000.  Such reacquisition of
the Premises shall be made with the Premises to be subject only to such
encumbrances as are in effect upon or in connection with consummation of the
Sale (with a credit to Tenant for the amount secured by such encumbrances) and
shall provide for Tenant to receive title insurance substantially in the
form as was provided to Landlord in connection with the Sale and allocation of
the expenses (e.g., escrow fees, title insurance, etc.) of the reacquisition in
the same manner as was provided for in the Sale (i.e., with Landlord to pay
the ”Seller’s” costs
thereunder and Tenant to pay the “Buyer’s”
costs thereunder).  Payments to the
Landlord under the purchase option shall be in cash or by certified funds.

 

35.                                 MEMORANDUM OF LEASE AND PURCHASE OPTION.  Concurrently with the effectiveness hereof
(i.e., the closing of the Sale), Landlord and Tenant shall execute, deliver,
acknowledge, and record with the Recorder of the County of Clark a Memorandum
substantially in the form attached as Appendix i attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.

 

36.                                 CONFLICT OF INTEREST: 
DISCLOSURE AND WAIVER. 
Landlord understands, acknowledges, agrees, and does hereby represent
and warrant (which representation and warranty shall survive the Closing),
that:  (i) it has been disclosed to
Landlord that Alan C. Sklar, a partner in Tenant and a shareholder, officer,
and Director of Tenant’s general partner, is also a shareholder of Gordon &
Silver, Ltd., which has served as counsel to Landlord with respect to certain
matters; (ii) Gordon & Silver, Ltd., has not acted as counsel to
Landlord in connection herewith, the Sale, or any related or ancillary
instruments, other documents, or matters; (iii) Rule 158 of the Nevada Supreme
Court Rules prohibits a lawyer from entering into a business transaction with a
client except in accordance with the provisions thereof, which provisions are
embodied in this Section 36; (iv) the transaction and terms upon which
Landlord is acquiring and leasing back the Property are fair and reasonable
to Landlord, inasmuch as, among other matters, Tenant, upon advice of
experts, is satisfied that the purchase price to be paid for and terms of the
purchase of the Premises and the rates, terms, and purchase option price
of the Premises hereunder are fair and reasonable; (v) the transaction and
terms upon which Landlord is purchasing, financing, leasing, and conveying
to Tenant an option to repurchase the Premises have been fully disclosed
and transmitted in writing to Landlord in a manner which can be reasonably
understood by Landlord; (vi) Tenant has been given a reasonable opportunity to
seek the advice of independent counsel in the transaction and has in fact
sought and received the advice of such independent counsel in connection
herewith; and (vii) Landlord, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby
consents to the indirect entry into a business transaction with a
shareholder of Gordon & Silver, Ltd., and waives any actual, apparent,
or purported conflict of interest with respect thereto.

 

37.                                 OBLIGATION OF TENANT OT CAUSE REFINANCING OF DEBT
SECURED BY THE PREMISES; MODIFICATIONS TO RENT BASED UPON FLUCTUATIONS IN DEBT
SERVICE.  Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge that certain

 

10

 

indebtedness is secured by deeds of trust (the “Deeds of Trust”) upon the Premises.  Tenant covenants that, during the entire
Term, it shall cause such indebtedness to be extended or to be refinanced
at Tenant’s sold cost and expense (e.g., payment of all loan fees, other costs
of refinancing or loan extension costs, etc.) and Landlord shall cooperate
therewith.  Notwithstanding anything
provided to the contrary, including, without limitation, Paragraph 4
hereinabove, in the event that the sum due upon any new or extended financing
would cause the monthly income to Landlord after payment of all debt
service upon indebtedness secured by the Premises (“Landlord’s Net Income”) to be less than or
more than the sum of $9,166.67, plus all increases in effect above the initial
Basic Rent of $25,000 (the “Rent Increases”)
then the Basic Rent shall be increased (i.e., if the annual payments upon
such indebtedness are greater than 10% of the principal amount thereof) or
decreased (i.e., if the annual payments upon such indebtedness are less
than 10% of the principal amount thereof), as the case may be, such that the
Landlord’s Net Income shall be the sum of $9,166.67 plus the Rent Increases,
monthly; provided, however, that to the extent any such indebtedness is being
amortized, then the aggregate sum of all such amortized amounts shall be
credited for the benefit of Tenant upon its exercise of the purchase
option provided for herein.

 

The parties hereto
have executed this Lease on the date first above written.

FIRST AMENDMENT LEASE

 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT OF LEASE (this “Amendment”), dated and effective
as of January 18, 2002, by and between THE 1993 SAMUEL JOSEPHSON REVOCABLE
FAMILY TRUST, under Declaration of Trust dated September 3, 1993
(“Landlord”), and MARKET GAMING, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Tenant”), is made
with reference to the following recited facts:

 

A.              Landlord
is the Landlord under, and Tenant is the Tenant under, that certain Lease (the
“Lease”), dated as of February 9, 1994, of the building commonly described
as 642 South Boulder Highway, Henderson, Nevada, and currently known as
“Lucky Strike Casino & Bowl”(the ”Premises”). Capitalized terms used
in this Amendment and defined in the Lease, shall have the meaning as set forth
in the Lease.

 

B.                By
reason of mutual mistake, Tenant did not pay, and Landlord did not demand
collection of, increased Basic Rent that became due and owing for the month of
February 1999, through and including December 2001, in the amount of
$2,500.00 for each such calendar month, being a total of $87,500.00 (the “Rent
Underpayment”).

 

C.                Landlord
and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to provide for the payment of the Rent
Underpayment and otherwise as provided in this Amendment, and this Amendment shall
be, and be deemed to constitute, an amendment of the Lease.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
for good, valuable and adequate consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Payment
of Rent Underpayment.  The prior
failure to pay the Rent Underpayment shall not be, nor be deemed to be, a
default under the Lease.  Beginning with
the rent payment that is due on April 30, 2002, and on the last
calendar day of each of the months May, June, July, August and September 2002,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, along with the Basic Rent that is otherwise then
due, the additional sum of $14,583.33 (1/6th of $87,500.00), with the intent
and effect that the Rent Underpayment shall be fully paid by September 30,
2002.  Each such additional payment
shall be deemed to be in satisfaction of Tenant’s rent obligations under the
Lease, and failure to timely pay any such additional payment shall be
deemed to be a default in the payment of Basic Rent under the Lease, giving
Landlord the same rights and remedies as a non- payment of Basic Rent under the
Lease.

 

2.                                       Notices:  Section 24 of the Lease is amended to
read as follows:  All notices, requests,
demands, and other communications required or permitted to be given by either
party to the other under the Lease shall be in writing and shall be
conclusively deemed to have been duly given and received (a) when hand
delivered to the addressee, or (b) on the third business day after the same
has been deposited in the United States mail, first class or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom
the notice is to be given at the address shown

 

1

 

below, or to such other address as either party may designate from time
to time to the other in writing, or (c) on the next business day after the same
has been deposited with a national overnight delivery service, postage or
delivery charge prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice, request, demand
or communication is to be given at the address shown below, or to such other
address as either party may designate from time to time to the other in
writing.  Until further
notice, notices, demands and other communications to the respective
parties shall be addressed as follows:

3.                                       Confirmation
of Lease.  The Lease, as amended by
this Amendment, is hereby confirmed. 
The Lease, as amended by this Amendment, shall be construed as one,
integrated document, enforceable as provided in the Lease as amended by this
Amendment.

 

4.                                       Warranty
of Authority.  Tenant is a Nevada
corporation, and each individual executing this Amendment on behalf of
Tenant represents and warrants that such individual is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Amendment on behalf of Tenant, in accordance with a
duly adopted corporate resolution or the general provisions of the bylaws of
Tenant.

 

5.                                       General
Provisions.  This Amendment contains
the entire agreement between Landlord and

 

2

 

Tenant relating to the terms and transactions contemplated hereby, and
all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations
and statements, oral or written, are merged herein.  Captions of sections in this Amendment are for convenience of
reference only, and are not part of the terms of this Amendment.

 

6.                                       Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document.  The signature of any party to any
counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other
counterpart.

subject to all matters now or hereafter of record or enforceable at law or in
equity.  The Tenant acknowledges that
the Premises are ready for occupancy as-is.

void.  In the event Tenant timely
exercises the option granted by this Paragraph 3 and extends the Term, this
Lease shall continue on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this
Lease except that the Base Rent for each Lease Year during the Option Term

4.                                       Rent;

4.1                                 Basic
Monthly Rent.  Tenant covenants to
pay to Landlord without abatement, deduction, offset, prior notice or demand
the Basic Monthly Rent in lawful money of the United States in equal
consecutive monthly installments at such place as Landlord may designate, in
advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term,
commencing on the Commencement Date.  If the Commencement Date occurs
on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, on the Commencement Date
the Basic Monthly Rent shall be paid for the initial fractional calendar month
prorated on a per-diem basis and for the first full calendar month occurring
after the Commencement Date.

Monthly Rent Escalation.  The Basic
Monthly Rent shall be increased on each anniversary of the Commencement
Date to the product obtained by multiplying the Basic Monthly Rent then in
effect by 1.02.  Landlord shall invoice
Tenant retroactively for the increased portion of the Basic Monthly Rent due
for the period between each such anniversary and the date of such invoice.  The 
delay  or failure  of 
Landlord  to  compute or to bill Tenant for the
adjustments to be

 

2

 

made pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 shall not impair
the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay the increased portion of the Basic
Monthly Rent resulting from such adjustments. 
In no event shall the Basic Monthly Rent be decreased as a result of
this Paragraph 4.2.

 

4.3                                 Net
Rent.  It is the intent of Landlord
and Tenant that the Basic Monthly Rent and all other rent and sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Lease be absolutely net to Landlord and that
Tenant shall, except as expressly hereinafter provided, pay (either directly or
by payment to Landlord of Tenant’s share of any expenses or costs pursuant to
any provision of this Lease) for all insurance, taxes, utilities, repairs,
operating expenses, maintenance and all other services and costs relating to
the Premises and to Tenant’s use thereof.

 

4.4                                 Place
of Payment.  All payments made by
Tenant under this Lease shall be made at Landlord’s place of business
designated on the signature page of this Lease, or at such other places as
Landlord may designate from time to time by written notice to Tenant.

 

4.5                                 Late
Charges.  Any payment of Basic
Monthly Rent or Additional Rent not made when due, shall at Landlord’s
sole option, bear late charges thereon calculated at the rate of one
and one-half percent (11⁄2%) per month, but in no event greater than the
highest rate permitted by applicable law.

 

4.6                                 Retention
of payments by Landlord.  Any
payment of Basic Monthly Rent or Additional Rent then accrued shall be fully
earned by Landlord when due under terms of this Lease.

 

4.7                                 Prepaid
Rent.  Concurrent with the execution
of this Agreement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $145,000
representing the first three months rent due hereunder.  On the first day of the fourth month of
the term of this Lease, Tenant shall commence making monthly rental payments in
the amount set forth in Paragraph 1.4 above.

 

5.                                       Property
Taxes.  Tenant shall pay all real
property taxes applicable to the Premises during the Term.  All such payments shall be made at least ten
(10) days prior to the delinquency date of such payment.  Upon payment thereof, Tenant shall promptly
furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been
paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 5, if the holder of any mortgage then
affecting Landlord’s interest in the Premises requires that Landlord make
monthly or other periodic payments to an escrow or reserve for use in paying
real property taxes as they fall due, Tenant shall, upon being so advised
by Landlord and at the time of its making the monthly payments of Basic Monthly
Rent required under Paragraph 4, remit to Landlord the monthly or other
periodic payments required to be paid by Landlord to such holder, and Landlord
shall in turn remit such amount to such holder.  As used herein, the term “real property taxes” shall include any
form of general or special assessment, license fee, commercial rental or gross
receipts tax, levy, penalty, duty, charge or tax (other than inheritance
or estates taxes) imposed by an authority having the direct or indirect
power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, lighting, drainage, sewer or other improvement district
against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or in the
real property of which the Premises are a part, against Landlord’s right to
rent or other income therefrom, against the use, occupancy or possession of the
Premises by Landlord or Tenant or against Landlord’s business of leasing the
Premises or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax
previously included within the definition of real property taxes, or any  additional tax the  nature of  which was  previously included within the definition

 

3

 

of real property taxes.  All
expenses, including attorney’s fees and disbursements, experts’ and other
witnesses’ fees, incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any taxes or
in obtaining a refund of taxes will be considered as part of the taxes for the
tax year in which such expenses are incurred. 
If the Premises are not separately assessed, Tenant’s liability shall be
an equitable proportion of the real property taxes for all of the land and
improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be
determined by Landlord from the respective valuations assigned in the
assessor’s work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably
available.  Landlord’s reasonable
determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.  Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment
and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or
elsewhere.  When possible, Tenant shall
cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
Landlord.

 

6.                                       Use
and Operation.

 

6.1                                 Use;
Suitability.  Tenant shall not use
or occupy or permit the Premises to be used or occupied for any purpose other
than for the Permitted Use, and shall not do or permit anything to be done by
its employees, agents, licensees or invitees (collectively, “Occupants”) which
may (a) increase the existing rate or violate the provisions of any insurance
carried with respect to the Premises; (b) create a public or private nuisance,
commit waste or interfere with, annoy or disturb any other tenant or occupant
of the Building or Landlord in its operation of the Building; (c) overload the
floors or otherwise damage the structure of the Building; (c) constitute an
improper, immoral or objectionable purpose; (e) subject Landlord to any
liability to any third party; or (f) lower the first-class character of the
Building.  Tenant shall, at its sole
cost, (t) operate its business on the Premises; (u) use the Premises in a
careful, safe and proper manner; (v) comply with all present and future
governmental or quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and
requirements and any covenants, conditions and restrictions existing with
respect to the Premises and the use thereof; (w) comply with the requirements
of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body relating to the
Premises; (x) keep the Premises free of objectionable noises and odors; (y) not
store, use or dispose of any hazardous, toxic or radioactive materials on the
Premises except those necessary to the operation of its business and in full
compliance with all applicable present and future governmental or
quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements regarding the
same; and (z) not place any signs on the Premises, except as provided in
Paragraph 18 of this Lease, unless Landlord consents thereto in advance in
writing.  The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant,
whether or not Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any
governmental or quasi-governmental law, ordinance, regulation or requirement or
any covenant, condition or restriction existing with respect to the Premises or
with respect to any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance on the Premises
shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.  (The foregoing sentence shall not create or
confer upon Tenant or any other person any rights with respect to
Landlord.)  Except as expressly set
forth in this Lease, no representation or warranty has been made to or relied
upon by Tenant concerning the Premises, including, without limitation, the
fitness or suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business,
nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or
improvement of the Premises.

 

6.2                                 Covenant
of Continuous Operation.  Tenant
shall carry on its business diligently and continuously at the Premises
throughout the Term and shall keep the Premises open for

 

4

 

business on all business days in accordance with the
schedule of minimum hours specified from time to time by Landlord.

 

7.                                       Utilities
and Services.  Tenant shall pay all
costs, expenses, charges and amounts, or whatever kind or character, for all
water, gars, heat light, power, air conditioning, telephone, sewer service,
protective service, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to
the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. 
If any such services are not billed to Tenant, but rather are billed to
and paid by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such
services.  If any utility service to
the Premises is interrupted for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not
be liable therefore to Tenant, such interruption shall not be deemed to be an
eviction or interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, the
rents required to be paid hereunder shall not be abated as a result thereof,
and Tenant hereby expressly waives any claims Tenant might otherwise have
against Landlord as a result of any such interruption.

 

8.                                       Maintenance
and Repairs; Alterations; Access.

 

8.1                                 Maintenance
and Repairs.  Tenant, at its sole
cost and expense, shall maintain the Premises and every part thereof in good
order, condition and repair, and in a clean and sanitary condition, including
both structural and nonstructural portions, including, without limitation, all
plumbing, sewage, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical, and
lighting facilities equipment, fixtures, floor, walls and ceilings and their
coverings (interior and exterior), foundations, roofs (interior and
exterior), columns, beams, floors, windows, window sashes and frames, doors and
door frames, locks, glass and plate glass, furnishings, trade fixtures,
leasehold improvements, equipments, landscaping, driveways, parking lots,
fences, signs and other personal property from time to time situated in, on or
upon the Premises.  Tenant expressly and
irrevocably waives the benefit or applicability of any statute in effect on or
after the date of this Lease which affords Tenant the right to make repairs at
Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to
keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.

 

8.2                                 Alterations.  Tenant shall not make any change, addition
or improvement to the Premises, unless such change, addition or
improvement: (a) equals or exceeds the then-current standard for the building
and utilizes only new and first-grade materials; (b) is in conformity with all
applicable governmental and quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, regulations
and requirements, and is made after obtaining any required permits and
licenses; (c) is made with the prior written consent of Landlord; (d) is made
pursuant to plans and specifications approved in writing in advance by
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; (e) is made
after Tenant has provided to Landlord such indemnification or bonds, including,
without limitation, a performance and completion bond, in such form and amount
as may be satisfactory to Landlord, to protect against claims and liens for
labor performed and materials furnished, and to insure the completion of any
change, addition or improvement; (f) is carried out by persons approved in
writing by Landlord, who, if required by Landlord, deliver to Landlord before
commencement of their work proof of such insurance coverage as Landlord
may require, with Landlord named as an additional insured; and (g) immediately
becomes the property of Landlord.  Any
such change, addition or improvement shall be done only at such time and in
such manner as Landlord may reasonably specify.  Tenant shall promptly pay the entire cost of any such change,
addition or improvement.  Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all liens,
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
which may arise out of or be connected in any way with any such change,
addition or

 

5

 

improvement. 
Within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien Tenant
shall cause such lien to be released of record by payment of money or posting
of a proper bond.  Any increase in
property taxes on or insurance cost for the Premises attributable to such
change, addition or improvement shall be borne by Tenant and shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of
Landlord’s invoice(s) therefore.

 

8.3                                 Access
to Premises.  Landlord may enter the
Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting, altering and
repairing the Premises and ascertaining compliance with the provisions of this
Lease by Tenant.  Landlord shall have
free access to the Premises in the event of an emergency.  Landlord may also show the Premises to
prospective purchasers, tenants or mortgages at reasonable times.  Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages
or for injury to inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any
loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss
occasioned thereby.  Landlord shall at
all times have a key with which to unlock all of the doors in the Premises
(excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar areas designated in writing by
Tenant in advance).  During the six (6)
months prior to the expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease,
Landlord may place upon the Premises “To Let,” “For Sale” or other similar
signs.

 

9.                                       Assignment.

 

9.1                                 Prohibition.  Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by
operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, encumber, pledge or hypothecate
this Lease or Tenant’s interest in this Lease, in whole or in part, permit the
use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant or its Occupants, or
sublease the Premises or any part of the Premises, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion
for any reason or for no reason.  Any
transfer of this Lease from Tenant by merger, consolidation, liquidation or
transfer of assets shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of this
Lease.  If Tenant is a corporation, an
unincorporated association or a partnership, the assignment, transfer,
encumbrance or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation,
association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty-nine percent
(49%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Paragraph 9.1
unless such transfer is to the immediate family of such majority equity
holder.  Consent to any assignment or
subleasing shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any
subsequent assignment or subleasing and the terms of such consent shall be
binding upon any person holding by, under or through Tenant.  At Landlord’s option, any assignment or
sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
expressly consents to subleases to McDonalds and EFT [hand written notation
changing EFT to ETT, initialed by Phyllis Schwartz], Inc.  Tenant hereby pledges its interest in said
leases to Landlord to secure Tenant’s obligations to Landlord hereunder.

 

9.2                                 Termination.  If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an
assignment of this Lease or to a subleasing of the whole or any part of the
Premises (other than the approved subleases referred to in Paragraph 9.1
above), Tenant shall submit to Landlord the terms of such assignment or
subleasing, the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, such
information relating to the nature of its business and finances as
Landlord may be reasonably require, and the proposed effective date (the
“Effective Date”) of the proposed assignment or subleasing, which Effective
Date shall be neither less than thirty (30) nor more than ninety (90) days
following the date of Tenant’s submission of such information.  Upon receipt of such request and all such
information from Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by notice
within fifteen (15) days after such receipt, to terminate this Lease if the
request is to assign this Lease or to sublease all of the Premises or, if the
request is to

 

6

 

sublease  a
portion of the Premises only, to terminate this Lease with respect to such
portion, in each case as of the Effective Date, unless within five (5) business
days after notice from Landlord to Tenant of such termination, Tenant withdraws
such request.  Such right to terminate
shall be for any reason whatsoever in the sole discretion of Landlord,
including but not limited to the right to retain all profits of such
assignment or sublease.  If Landlord
shall exercise such termination right, Tenant shall surrender possession
of the entire Premises or the portion which is the subject of the right, as the
case may be, on the Effective Date in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 17.  If this Lease is
terminated as to a portion of the Premises only, the rent payable by Tenant
under this Lease shall be abated proportionately commencing as of the Effective
Date, based upon the percentage of the Premises as to which this Lease has
been terminated.

 

9.3                                 Landlord’s
Rights.  If this Lease is assigned
or if all or any portion of the Premises is subleased or occupied by any person
other than Tenant without obtaining Landlord’s consent, Landlord may collect
rent and other charges from such assignee or other party, and apply the amount
collected to the rent and other charges reserved under this Lease, but such
collection shall not constitute consent or waiver of the necessity of consent
to such assignment or subleasing, nor shall such collection constitute the
recognition of such assignee or subtenant as Tenant under this Lease or a
release of Tenant from the further performance of all of the covenants and
obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease. 
No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subleasing by Tenant shall
relieve Tenant of any obligation to be paid or performed by tenant under this
Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or
subleasing, but rather Tenant and it assignee or subtenant, as the case may be,
shall b jointly and severally primarily liable for such payment and
performance.  Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for its attorneys’ and other 
fees and costs incurred in connection with both determining whether to
give its consent and giving its consent. 
O assignment or subleasing under this Lease shall be effective
unless and until Tenant provides to Landlord an executed counterpart of the
assignment or sublease agreement, which shall specifically state that (a) such
agreement is subject to all of the provisions of this Lease; (b) in the case of
an assignment, the assignee assumes and agrees to perform all of Tenant’s
obligations under the Lease; (c) the assignee or subtenant, as the case may be,
does not have the right to a further assignment of such agreement, or to allow
the Premises to be used by others, without the prior written consent of
Landlord in each instance; (d) a consent by Landlord thereto shall not be
deemed or construed to modify, amend or affect the provisions of this
Lease or Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, which shall continue to apply
to the Premises and the occupants of the Premises as if the assignment or sublease
had not been made; (e) if Tenant defaults in the payment of any amounts due
under this Lease, Landlord is authorized to collect any rents or other
amounts due from any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Premises and
to apply the net amounts collected to the sums reserved in this Lease; and (f)
the receipt by Landlord of any amounts from an assignee, subtenant or other
occupant of any part of the Premises shall not be deemed or construed as
releasing Tenant from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or the acceptance
of that party as a direct tenant.

 

10.                                 Indemnity;
Waiver and Release.

 

10.1                           Indemnity.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Landlord from, against and with respect to all demands, claims, causes
of action, judgments, losses, damages (including consequential damages),
liabilities, obligations, fines, penalties, costs and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising from the occupancy
or use by Tenant or its invitees on the Premises, the conduct of Tenant’s
business on the Premises, and act or omission done, permitted

 

7

 

or suffered by Tenant or any of its invitees, any default or
nonperformance by Tenant under this Lease, any injury or damage to the person,
property or business of Tenant or its invitees, any litigation commenced by or
against Tenant to which Landlord is made a party without fault on the part of
Landlord, or any change or liability brought by any local, state or federal
governmental agency regarding Tenant’s retail fuel operations, including,
without limitation, claims brought by the Environmental Protection Agency due
to a violation of any law.  If any
action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its employees or its
agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall
defend the claim at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord.

 

10.2                           Waiver
and Release.  Tenant waives and
releases all claims against Landlord, its employees and agents with
respect to all matters for which Landlord has disclaimed liability
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. 
In addition, Landlord, its employees and agents shall not be liable for
any loss, injury, death or damage (including any consequential damage) to
persons, property or Tenant’s business resulting from any theft, act of
God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order,
requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion, falling
object, steam, water, rain, snow, breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or
lighting fixtures, construction, repair or alteration of the Premises or other
cause beyond Landlord’s control.  Tenant
acknowledges that it constructed all improvements comprising the Premises and
that it is now leasing the property pursuant to a sale/leaseback transaction
with Landlord.  Consequently, Tenant
waives all claims against Landlord relating to the current or future condition
of the improvements or the Premises and acknowledges that any it is responsible
for any deficiency of the improvements or the Premises.  Tenant shall timely pursue all
meritorious claims against contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and/or architects
contributing to any substandard condition relating to the improvements or the
Premises and shall advise Landlord of any such claim.

 

11.                                 Insurance.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s dole cost, procure
and continue in force the following insurance coverage: (a) bodily injury and
property damage liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily
injury and property damage of not less tan $2,000,000 per occurrence; (b)
fire and extended coverage insurance, including vandalism, malicious mischief,
special extended peril (all-risk), boiler, and sprinkler leakage coverage, in
an amount equal to the full replacement value (without deduction for
depreciation) of the Premises and of all furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold
improvements, equipment, merchandise and other personal property from time to
time situated in, on or upon the Premises; and (c) worker’s compensation
insurance satisfying Tenant’s obligations under the worker’s compensation laws
of the State of Nevada.  Such minimum
limits shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this
Lease.  Such liability insurance shall
name Landlord and any other person specified from time to time by Landlord as
an additional insured, such property insurance shall name Landlord as a loss
payee as its interests may appear, and both such liability and property
insurance shall be with companies acceptable to Landlord having a rating of not
less than A:XI in the most recent issue of Best’s Key Rating Guide,
Property-Casualty.  All liability
policies maintained by Tenant shall contain a provision that Landlord and any
other additional insured, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless
be entitled to recover under such policies for any loss sustained by it, its
agents and its employees as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord certificates
of coverage.  No such policy shall be
cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except
after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord by the insurer.  All such policies shall be written as
primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess

 

8

 

of any coverage Landlord may carry, and shall only be subject to such
deductibles as may be approved in writing in advance by Landlord.  Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior
to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders
therefore.  Landlord and Tenant hereby
mutually waive their respective rights of subrogation against each other for
any loss insured by insurance policies existing for the benefit of the
respective parties.  Landlord and Tenant
shall cause their respective insurance carriers to issue appropriate waivers of
subrogation rights endorsements to all policies of insurance carried in
connection with the Premises or the contents of the Premises.  Tenant shall cause all other occupants of
the Premises claiming by, through or under Tenant to execute and deliver to
Landlord a waiver of claims similar to the waiver contained in this Paragraph
and to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights endorsements.  Any mortgage lender interested in any part
of the Premises may, at Landlord’s option, be afforded coverage under any
policy required to be secured by Tenant under this Lease, by use of a
mortgagee’s endorsement to the policy concerned.

 

12.                                 Damage
or Destruction.

 

12.1                           General
Provisions.  If the Premises are
partially damaged or destroyed by any casualty insured against under any
insurance policy maintained by Tenant or Landlord, they shall,
upon receipt of any insurance proceeds, use such proceeds to effect repair
of the Premises to substantially the condition in which the Premises were
immediately prior to such destruction. 
Landlord’s obligation under the preceding sentence shall not exceed the
lesser of the cost of the standard improvements installed by Landlord in
the Premises, or the proceeds received by Landlord from any insurance policy
maintained by Tenant.  If (a) by reason
of such occurrence the Premises are rendered wholly untenantable; (b) the
Premises are damaged as a result of a risk not covered by insurance; (c) the
Premises are damaged in whole or in part during the last twelve (12) months of
the Term; (d) the Premises or the Building (whether or not the Premises are
damaged) is damaged to the extent of ten percent (10%) or more of the
then-replacement value of either or to the extent that it would take, in
Landlord’s opinion, in excess of ninety (90) days to complete the requisite
repairs; or (e) insurance proceeds adequate to repair the Premises are not
available to Landlord for any reason, Landlord may either elect to repair the
damage or cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation within sixty (60) days
after such event and thereupon this Lease shall expire as of the date such
notice is given, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to
Landlord.  There shall be no abatement
of any payment due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.  Tenant expressly waives any claim Tenant
might  have against Landlord for any
loss suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration,
and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease as the result of any
statutory provision in effect on or after the date of this Lease pertaining
to the damage and destruction of the Premises or the Building.

 

12.2                           Damage
to Tenant’s Trade Fixtures and other Personal Property.  The proceeds of all insurance carried by
Tenant on Tenant’s furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements,
equipment, merchandise and other personal property shall be held in trust by
Tenant for the purpose of the repair and replacement of the same, and shall not
be subject to any claim by Landlord for repair or replacement of any part of
the Premises.  Landlord shall not be required
to repair any damage or to make any restoration or replacement of any
furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, merchandise and
other personal property installed in the Premises by Tenant or at the
direct or indirect expense of Tenant. 
Unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph,
Tenant shall be require to restore or replace such furnishings, trade fixtures,
leasehold

 

9

 

improvements, equipment, merchandise and other personal property in the
event of damage or destruction in at least a condition equal to that existing
prior to such event.

 

13.                                 Condemnation.  As used in this Paragraph 13, “Condemnation
Proceedings” means any actions or proceedings in which any interest in the
Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful
authority through exercise of the poser of eminent domain or by purchase or
otherwise in lieu of such exercise.  If
the whole of the Premises is taken through Condemnation Proceedings, this Lease
shall automatically terminate as of the date of such taking.  The phrase “as of the date of the taking”
means the date of taking actual physical possession by the condemning authority
or such earlier date as the condemning authority gives notice that it is deemed
to have taken possession.  Landlord may
terminate this Lease if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is
taken or any portion of the Premises is taken that, in Landlord’s judgment,
substantially interferes with Landlord’s ability to operate or use the Premises
for the purposes for which it was intended. 
Any such termination must be accomplished through written notice to
Tenant given no later than sixty (60) days after, and shall be effective as of,
the date of such taking.  In all other
cases, or if Landlord does not exercise its right to terminate, this Lease
shall remain in effect.  If a portion of
the Premises is taken and this Lease is not terminated, the Basic Monthly Rent
shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of buildings taken bears
to the total floor area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking.  Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a
consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, all damages or compensation
awarded for a partial or total taking, including any award for severance damage
and any sums compensating for diminution in the value of or deprivation of the
leasehold estate under this Lease, shall be the sloe and exclusive property of
Landlord.  Tenant shall be entitled to
any award for the loss of or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures or loss of
business, provided that a separate award is actually made therefore to Tenant
and that the same will not reduce Landlord’s award. Tenant shall have no claim
against Landlord for the occurrence of any Condemnation Proceedings, or for the
termination of this Lease or a reduction in the Premises as a result of any
Condemnation Proceedings.

 

14.                                 Landlord’s
Financing.  This lease shall be
subordinate to any existing or future first mortgage, first deed of trust and
all renewals, modifications, amendments, consolidations, replacements and
extensions of any such instruments.  No
documentation other than this Lease shall be required to evidence such
subordination.  If any holder of a
mortgage or deed of trust shall elect to have this Lease superior to the lien
of its mortgage or deed of trust and shall give written notice of such election
to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust.  Tenant shall execute such documents as may
be required by Landlord to confirm such subordination or priority within ten
(10) days after request therefore. 
Tenant shall from time to time if so requested by Landlord and if doing
so will not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s economic interests under
this Lease, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the needs
or requirements of any lender that is considering making or that has made a
loan secured by the Premises or any portion thereof.  Any sale, assignment or transfer of Landlord’s interest under
this Lease or in the Premises, including any such disposition resulting from
Landlord’s default under a debt obligation, shall be subject to this Lease and
Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successors and assigns and shall recognize
such successors or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule
of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract.

 

10

 

15.                                 Default.

 

15.1                           Default
by Tenant.  The occurrence of any of
the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease:

 

15.1.1                  Tenant
fails to pay timely any installment of Basic Monthly Rent or any other
payment due under this Lease.

 

15.1.2                  Tenant
fails to observe or perform timely any other term, covenant or condition to be
observed or performed by Tenant under this Lease.

 

15.1.3                  Tenant
fails to provide fuel services for a period of five (5) consecutive days,
unless Tenant is prevented from doing so by Force Majeure.  For purposes of this provision, Force
Majeure shall mean any act or event that occurs as a consequence of fire,
theft, water, wind, flood, hurricane, and that could not have been avoided by
reasonable diligence, prevention or control.

 

15.1.4                  Tenant
becomes insolvent or ceases to transact business as a going concern.

 

15.1.5                  Tenant
sells or otherwise transfers its business and the purchaser does not
expressly assume all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

 

15.1.6                  Tenant
or any guarantor of this Lease dies (if an individual), files a petition
in bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, has taken against such party in any court,
pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or
for reorganization or appointment of a receiver or trustee, petitions for or
enters into an arrangement for the benefit of creditors or suffers this Lease
to become subject to a writ of execution.

 

15.1.7                                                                  Tenant
vacates or abandons the Premises.

 

15.1.8                  Any
guarantor, surety or endorser of this Lease for Tenant attempts to rescind or
to terminate its guaranty, or defaults in or breaches any obligation or
liability to Landlord.

 

15.2                           Remedies.  In the event Tenant fails to timely and
fully carry out any of the provisions or obligations under this Lease or is in
default under any of the provisions of Paragraph 15.1 above, Landlord
shall have the right to, at any time and at Landlord’s option, without waiving
or limiting any other right or remedy available to it, (a) perform in Tenant’s
stead any obligation that Tenant has failed to perform, and Landlord shall be
reimbursed promptly for any cost incurred by Landlord in connection therewith
with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure until paid in full at
the greater of the prime rate then charged by Bank of America (or any other
bank or savings and loan association designated by Landlord), plus four percent
(4%), or eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”); (b)
terminate Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice; (c)
reenter and take possession of the Premises by any lawful means (with or
without terminating this Lease); or (d) pursue any other remedy allowed by
law.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
cost of recovering possession of the Premises, all costs of reletting,
including reasonable renovation, remodeling and alteration of the Premises, the
amount of any commissions paid by Landlord in

 

11

 

connection with such reletting, and all other costs and damages arising
out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees and costs.  Notwithstanding any termination or reentry,
the liability of Tenant for the rents and other sums reserved in this Lease
shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees
to compensate Landlord upon demand for any deficiency arising from
reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease.

 

15.3                           Past
Due Amounts; Tenant’s Obligations Independent.  If Tenant fails to pay when due any amounts required to be paid
by Tenant under this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the
Interest Rate from the due date of such amounts to the date of payment in full,
with interest.  In addition, Landlord
may also charge a sum of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amounts as
a late charge.  The actual cost in
each instance is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to determine.  The 
payment (and acceptance) of this late payment charge shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant under this Lease.  All amounts due under this Lease are and
shall be deemed to be rent or additional, rent, and shall be paid by
without abatement, deduction, offset, prior notice or demand (unless expressly
provided by the terms of this Lease). 
The obligations of Tenant to pay Basic Monthly Rent and all other
amounts due and to perform all of its obligations under this Lease
are severable from and independent of any obligations of Landlord under
this Lease.

 

15.4                           Default
by Landlord.  Landlord shall not be
in default under this Lease unless Landlord or the holder of any mortgage or
deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address have been
furnished to Tenant in writing fails to perform an obligation required of
Landlord under this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant
to Landlord and to such holder, specifying the respects in which Landlord has
failed to perform such obligation.  If
the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
reasonably required for performance or cure, Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord or such holder commences performance within
such thirty (30) day period and after such commencement diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.  In no event shall Tenant have the
right to terminate this Lease or to withhold the payment of rent or other
charges provided for in this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default.

 

16.                                 Expiration
or Termination.

 

16.1                           Surrender
of Premises.  Upon the expiration of
the Term or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its own
cost, (a) promptly and peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord “broom
clean,” in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (b)
repair any damage to the Premises caused by or in connection with the removal
of any property from the Premises by or at the direction of Tenant; (c)
repair, patch and pain in a good and workmanlike manner satisfactory to
Landlord all holes and other marks in the floors, walls and ceilings of the
Premises to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction; and (d) deliver all keys to the
Premises to Landlord.  Before
surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove its movable
personal property only, and all other property shall, unless otherwise directed
by Landlord, remain in the Premises and become the property of Landlord without
payment therefore; however, Tenant shall not remove any personal property,
trade fixtures or other property fro the Premises without Landlord’s prior
written consent if such personal property, trade fixtures or other property is
used in the operation of the Premises, the removal of such personal property,
trade fixtures or other property will impair the structure of the Building, or
Tenant is in default under this Lease. 
If Tenant is in default under this Lease, Landlord shall have a lien on
such personal property, trade fixtures and other property.  Landlord may require Tenant to remove
any personal property, trade fixtures, other property,

 

12

 

alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises by Tenant
or by Landlord for Tenant, and to restore the Premises to their condition
on the date of this Lease.  All personal
property, trade fixtures and other property of Tenant not removed from the
Premises upon the abandonment of the Premises or upon the expiration of the
Term or other termination of this Lease for any cause shall conclusively be
deemed to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed
or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant or any other
person and without any obligation to account therefore.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses
incurred in connection with the disposition of such property in excess of any
amount received by Landlord from any such disposition.  No surrender of the Premises shall be
effected by Landlord’s acceptance of the keys or of the rent or by any other
means whatsoever without Landlord’s written acknowledgement of such acceptance
as a surrender.  Tenant shall not be
released from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in connection with
surrender of the Premises until Landlord has inspected the Premises and
delivered to Tenant a written release.

 

16.2                           Holding
Over.  Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all claims, liabilities
and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, resulting from delay by Tenant in
surrendering the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.  If Tenant remains in possession of the
Premises or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the Term or other
termination of this Lease with the express written consent of landlord, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental (and not as a
penalty) in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the last monthly
rental, plus all other charges payable under this Lease, and upon all of the
terms of this Lease applicable to a month to month tenancy.  The provisions of this Paragraph
16 shall survive the expiration of the Term or other termination of this
Lease.

 

17.                                 Estoppel
Certificate.  Tenant shall, within
five (5) days after Landlord’s request therefor, execute and deliver to
Landlord an estoppel certificate in favor of Landlord and such other persons as
Landlord shall request setting forth the following: (a) a ratification of this
Lease; (b) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date; (c) that this Lease is in
full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or
amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (d) that all conditions
under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied, or, in the
alternative, those claimed by Tenant to be unsatisfied; (e) that there are no
defenses or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord, or, in
the alternative, those claimed by Tenant; (f) the amount of advance rent,
if any (or none if such is the case), paid by Tenant; (g) the date to which
rent has been paid; and (h) such other information as Landlord may
request.  Landlord’s mortgage lenders
and purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon any estoppel certificate executed
by Tenant.  If Tenant fails to execute
such estoppel certificate within such five (5) day period, Landlord may execute
the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  For such purpose, Tenant hereby makes,
constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s true and lawful attorney to act
for Tenant and in Tenant’s name, place and stead and for Tenant’s use and
benefit.  Such power of attorney shall
be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

 

18.                                 Signage.  Tenant may purchase and erect such signage
on the Building and on the lot as may be necessary to advertise its
business, in conformity with all applicable governmental and quasi-governmental
laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements, and after obtaining any
required permits, licenses, variances and approvals.  All signs or letterings on doors shall be printed, painted
and affixed at the sole cost of Tenant by a person approved by Landlord,
and shall comply with the requirements of the governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over the Premises.  At its
sole

 

13

 

expense, Tenant shall maintain all permitted signs and shall, upon the
expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease, remove all such
permitted signs and repair any damage caused by such removal.

 

19.                                 Additional
Authorizations and Consents.  Tenant
and Landlord shall execute and file or join in the execution and filing of
any applications or other documents which may be necessary in order to obtain
the authorization, approval or consent of any governmental body, local, state
or federal or any other third party, which may be required, or which Tenant may
reasonably request, in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Each
party shall use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, approvals
and consents.

 

20.                                 Purchase
Option.  At any time during the term
of this lease following the end of the 5th Lease Year and continuing for a
period of two months following the end of the term of this Lease (as
the same may be extended from time to time), Tenant shall have an option
to purchase the Premises for a sum equal to $6,090,000, increased by one percent
(1%) per year compounded from the end of the 5th Lease Year until the date
of exercise of the option.

 

21.                                 General
Provisions.

 

21.1                           No
Partnership.  Landlord does not by
this Lease, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner or joint
venturer of Tenant in the conduct of Tenant’s business or otherwise.

 

21.2                           Force
Majeure.  If either Landlord or
Tenant is delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act
required under this Lease by reason of acts of God, strikes, lockouts, other
labor troubles, inability to procure labor or materials, fire, accident,
failure of power, restrictive governmental laws, ordinances, regulations or
requirements of general applicability, riots, civil commotion, insurrection,
war or other reason not the fault of the party delayed and beyond the control
of such party (financial inability excepted), performance of the action in
question shall be excused for the period of delay and the period for the
performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period
of such delay.  The provisions of this
Paragraph shall not, however, operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment
of rent or any other amounts required to be paid under this Lease.

 

21.3                           Notices.  Any notice, demand, request or other
instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be
delivered in person or sent by United States certified or registered mail,
postage prepaid, shall be addressed as set forth below or as otherwise
designated in writing by Landlord or Tenant to the other, and shall be
effective upon delivery to the then effective notice address for the party
concerned.

21.4                           Severablilty.  If any provision of this Lease or the
application of any provision of this Lease to any person or circumstance
shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease or the
application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as
to which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.  Each provision of this Lease shall be valid
and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

21.5                           Notification
of Changes.  Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord in writing of the existence or happening of any fact,
event or occurrence that may tend to alter, in any material respect, the
accuracy or completeness of any representation or warranty contained in this
Lease, or affect the ability of Tenant to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

21.6                           Brokerage
Commissions.  Except as agreed upon
in writing by Landlord, Tenant represents and warrants that there are no
claims for brokerage commission or finder’s fees in connection herewith and
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all
claims, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from any
such brokerage commissions or finder’s fees.

 

21.7                           Use
of Pronouns.  The use of the neuter
singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper
reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, partnership,
association, corporation or a group of two or more individuals, partnerships,
associations or corporations.  The
necessity grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease
apply in the plural sense where there is more that one Landlord or Tenant
and to corporations, associations, partnerships, individuals, males or females,
shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

 

21.8                           Successors.  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
all provisions contained in this Lease shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
devisees, successors, assigns and legal representatives.  In the event of any sale or assignment
(except for purposes of security or collateral) by Landlord of the Premises or
this Lease, Landlord shall, from and after the Commencement Date (irrespective
of when such sale or assignment occurs), be relieved entirely of all its
obligations under this Lease and such obligations shall, as of the time of
such sale or assignment or on the Commencement Date, whichever is later,
automatically pass to the Landlord’s successor in interest.

 

15

 

21.9                           Recourse
by Tenant.  Anything in this Lease
to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of
Landlord in the Premises, subject to prior rights of the holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust, for the collection of any judgment (or other
judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event
of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord,
and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other
procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.

 

21.10                     Quiet
Enjoyment.  Upon Tenant paying the
rents reserved under this Lease and observing and performing all of the
terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and
performed under this Lease, Tenant shall have quiet enjoyment of the Premises
for the Term without interference from Landlord, subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease.

 

21.11                     Waiver.  No failure by any party to insist upon the
strict performance of any covenant, duty or condition of this Lease or to
exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach of this Lease shall
constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such or any other covenant, duty
or condition.  Any party may, by notice
delivered in the manner provided in this Lease, but shall be under no
obligation to, waive any of its rights or any conditions to its obligations
under this Lease, or any covenant or duty of any other party hereto.  No waiver shall affect or alter the
remainder of this Lease but each other covenant, duty and condition of this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then
existing or subsequently occurring breach.

 

21.12                     Rights
and Remedies.  The rights and
remedies of the parties hereto shall not be mutually exclusive and the
exercise of one or more of the provisions of this Lease shall not
preclude the exercise of any other provisions.  The parties confirm that damages at law may be an inadequate
remedy for a breach or threatened breach by any party of any of the provisions
of this Lease.  The parties’ respective rights and obligations under
this Lease shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or any
other equitable remedy.

 

21.13                     Authorization.  Each individual executing this Lease does
thereby represent and warrant to each other so signing (and each other
entity for which another person may be signing) that he has been duly
authorized to deliver this Lease in the capacity and for the entity set forth
where he signs.

 

21.14                     Litigation
Expenses.  If any action, suit or
proceeding is brought by a party hereto to recover any rent or other amount due
under this Lease because of any default under this Lease, to enforce or
interpret any of the provisions of this Lease, or for recovery of possession of
the Premises, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
entitled to recover from the other all of its reasonable costs and
expenses incurred therein (including those incurred in connection with
any appeal), including attorney’s fees, the amounts of which shall be
fixed by the court and made a part of any judgment rendered.  Tenant shall be responsible for all expenses
incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, that
Landlord incurs in any case or proceeding involving Tenant under or related
to  any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

 

21.15                     Miscellaneous.  The captions to the Paragraphs of this Lease
are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed relevant in
resolving questions of construction or interpretation under this
Lease.  Exhibits referred to in this
Lease and any

 

16

 

addendums, riders and schedules attached to this Lease shall be deemed
to be incorporated I this Lease as though a part of this Lease.  Tenant shall not record this Lease or a
memorandum or notice of this Lease without the prior written consent of
Landlord.  This Lease and the exhibits,
riders and addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement
between the parties.  Any guaranty
attached hereto is an integral part of this Lease and constitutes consideration
given to Landlord to enter into this Lease.  No amendment to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or
Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed. 
Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, all references to
Paragraphs are to Paragraphs in this Lease. 
Each provision to be performed by Tenant shall be constructed to be both
a covenant and a condition.  This Lease
shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of Nevada.  Venue on
any action arising out of this Lease shall be proper only in the Eighth
Judicial District Court in and for Clark County,
State of Nevada.  Landlord and
Tenant waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on all matters
arising out of this Lease or the use and occupancy of the Premises.  Time is of the essence of this Lease and
each and every provision hereof.  The
submission of this Lease to Tenant is not an offer to lese the Premises or an
agreement by Landlord to reserve the Premises for Tenant.  Landlord shall not be bound to Tenant
until Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate original copies of
this Lease to Landlord, and Landlord has duly executed and delivered one
of those duplicate original copies to Tenant.

 

IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the date first set
forth above.

The undersigned
hereby waive all requirements of notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and all

9.                                       TITLE
OF FIXTURES:  All buildings,
fixtures and other property and materials installed in the demised
premises by the Lessee shall be and remain the property
of the Lessee, and at the expiration of the Lease, the Lessee may,
within thirty (30) days, remove from said premises all of such fixtures,
property, and materials, provided that all expenses connected with the removal
thereof shall be at the expense of the Lessee. 
The Lessee further agrees to repair at his sole expense all damage
that may result from the removal of such building, fixtures and other
property and to restore said premises to the condition in which they were prior
to the start of construction and that no building or improvements placed upon
said premises by Lessee shall be removed during the term of this Lease or
extension thereof without the consent of Lessor first had and obtained.

 

10.                                 LIABILITY
AND FIRE  INSURANCE:  The Lessor shall require the Lessee
to carry, maintain and have in full force and effect fire, workmens
compensation, public liability, and product liability insurance with a
recognized insurance company authorized

 

3

 

to transact business in the State of Nevada for the benefit of the
Lessor and Lessee, and for the protection of all persons who may suffer
injury while in, on or about said premises. 
The amount of said policy must be approved by Lessor in its sole
discretion, within normal and customary limits for an operation of this
type.  Lessor shall be furnished with
copies of said policies and all endorsements thereto.

 

The Lessee shall
carry insurance against loss by destruction of the demised premises caused by
fire, explosion or other action of the elements, except loss caused by
earthquake, equal to ninety per cent (90%) of the value of the
improvements.

 

11.                                 COMPLIANCE
WITH THE LAW:  The Lessee shall
conduct his business in such manner as will comply with all requirements of
State, Federal, County and Municipal authorities, appertaining to the business
conducted upon the demised premises, and Lessee shall not permit the
demised premises to be used for any unlawful purposes.

 

12.                                 DEFAULT:  In the event Lessee shall be in default in
the payment of any rent herein reserved, or in the performance of any of the
covenants or conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by the
Lessee, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days from and
after service upon the Lessee of written notice of such default, signed by the
Lessor or their duly authorized agents, then and in any such event,
the Lessor may, at their option declare this Lease terminated and
repossess themselves of said premises and take such action or pursue such
remedy as may be permitted under the law of the State of Nevada.  However,
if Lessee commences the necessary work to cure said default before the
expiration of the thirty (30) days, but the work takes in excess of thirty
days, then Lessor shall not be allowed to declare this Lease terminated.

 

4

 

13.                                 LIENS:  The Lessee agrees that he will, at all
times, save the Lessor and keep it blameless and the demised premises free
and harmless of and from any liability on account of or in respect to
any mechanic’s liens or liens in the nature thereof, for work and
labor done, or materials furnished at the instance and request of the
Lessee, in, on or about the demised premises; provided, however, that the
Lessee shall have the right to contest the claim of such lien, which event the Lessee
shall, at his expense, furnish to the Lessor a sufficient surety bond
executed by a reputable and responsible surety company, in at least
double the amount of such claim of such lien, conditioned upon the
diligent prosecution of such defense, and to hold the Lessor from and
clear of all loss, costs, damages, and expenses of every kind and
nature, arising either directly or indirectly out of said contest,
and to pay any judgment that may be obtained forthwith upon the same
being entered.

 

14.                                 ATTORNEY
FEE:  In the event of litigation
arising from default in performance of any of the provisions of this Lease
by either the Lessor or Lessee, the prevailing party in such litigation
shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorney fees
and costs of action incurred in connection with said litigation.  In the event that either Lessor or
Lessee shall by reason of acts of omission or commission in violation of the
terms of the Lease, be made a party to any litigation commenced by a
person other than the parties hereto, then such party performing the said
act or suffering the said omission shall pay all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorney fees incurred by the other party which arise from or
are in connection with such litigation.

 

15.                                 INDEMNIFICATION:                            Lessee
shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its agents, servants, employees
and representatives from and against all claims,

 

5

 

damages, losses and expenses, including attorneys’ fees arising out of
or resulting from Lessee’s occupancy, provided however, that Lessor, its
agents, employees, representatives, successors, or assigns are not negligent
with regards to same.  This Paragraph
shall have full force and effect upon execution of this Lease Agreement.

 

16.                                 ASSIGNMENT:  The Lessee shall not have the right to
assign this Lease or hypothecate the same without first receiving the written
consent of the Lessor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.  Lessee shall have the right to sublet any
department and concession, providing that the tenancy of such sub-tenant
shall be subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease.

 

17.                                 WAIVER:  The waiver of either party of any of the
covenants herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of such party’s
right to enforce the same or any other covenant contained herein.

OVER:  If the Lessee shall hold over
the premises beyond the term herein specified, or any renewal thereof,
with the consent, express or implied of the Lessor such holding over shall
be construed to be a month-to-month tenancy, unless otherwise mutually
agreed upon.

 

19.                                 PHRASE

21.                                 NO
OTHER AGREEMENTS:  Both parties
hereby certify and declare that neither party has made any representations nor
agreements to or with any other party in addition to, or in conflict with
the terms, covenants and conditions hereof, and this Lease contains all of the
terms, covenants and conditions and representations between the parties
upon the subject matter hereof.

 

22.                                 TERMINATION
OF LEASE IF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS FILED:      If,
at any time during the term hereof, proceedings in bankruptcy shall be
instituted by or against the Lessee and result in an adjudication of
bankruptcy, or if the Lessee shall file or any creditor shall file, or any

or 11 of the Bankruptcy Act of the United States of America as
such act is now in force or as same may be amended, and shall by judicially
approved, or if a Receiver of the business or assets of the Lessee shall

after notice thereof to Lessee, or if a general assignment is made by the
Lessee for the benefit of creditors, or any sheriff, marshall, constable,

constituted public official take possession thereof by authority of any
attachment or execution proceedings, and offer same for sale publicly, the
Lessor may, at its option, in either or any of such events, without
notice to Lessee or any other person or persons, immediately recapture and take
possession of the demised premises and terminate this Lease with or
without the process of law, such process being expressly waiver by Lessee.

 

23.                                 CARE

will water, cultivate, trim and keep in a neat condition any shrubs,

TO RENEW:  The Lessee upon giving
written notice to Lessor, at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of
the expiration of the term aforesaid, provided it has faithfully complied
with the terms hereof, shall have the option of renewing this Lease
for five additional consecutive five (5) year terms subject to the same
terms, covenants and conditions and agreements as contained herein other than
this paragraph.  The monthly
rental for each renewal term shall be determined by increasing the
monthly rental payment for the preceding term by the greater of $2,500.00
or the amount by which one percent (1%) of the appraised value of the
property exceeds the current monthly rental amount.  For purposes of determining the appraised value of the property
at each renewal date the parties shall have an ALTA-certified
appraiser appraise the property no more than ninety (90) days prior to the
end of the preceding term.  If the
parties are unable to agree on an appraiser, then each party may hire its own
ALTA-certified appraiser and the average of the two appraisals shall
be used to determine the appraised value for purposes of
determining the monthly rental amount.

OF FIRST REFUSAL:  In the event of a
contemplated sale of the premises during the demised term, the Lessor agrees to
give Lessee a notice in writing at least ten (10) days before the
contemplated sale of substance of terms on which it is proposed to be
made, which notice shall be registered mail directed to Lessee at his
principal place of business for notices; and thereupon within ten (10)
days from the date of mailing of notice the Lessee shall have the right
exercise its option to purchase upon the proposed terms and conditions.  If the Lessee fails to exercise said option
within the foregoing time, said option shall be and stand cancelled.

 

26.                                 TIME
IS OF ESSENCE:  Time is of the
essence in this Lease and of each and every one of the provisions herein
contained.

agreements contained in this Lease shall be binding upon the parties
hereto and upon their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors
