                     AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

            Section 2.01. The Credit Facility.

                  a. Subject to the conditions and upon the terms hereinafter
set forth and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Revolving
Credit Note, Lender agrees to lend and advance Borrowings to Borrowers, up to
the Maximum Permitted Balance, in such amounts as Borrowers may request by
Notice of Borrowing duly executed by an Authorized Officer and delivered to
Lender from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period as provided in
Section 2.03.

                  b. Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow the Available
Borrowings up to the Maximum Permitted Balance from time to time, provided that
at all times the Maximum Availability shall be no less than zero (0). Provided
further, however, amounts of Funded Outstandings bearing interest with reference
to a IBO Rate shall be subject to Breakage Charges incident to prepayment as
provided in Section 2.07(c) hereinbelow and such prepayment may only be made
upon two (2) Banking Business Days prior written notice to Lender. The Credit
Facility shall be for a term commencing

                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>

on the Closing Date and terminating on the Maturity Date, on which date the
entire outstanding balance of the Credit Facility shall be fully paid and Bank
Facility Termination shall occur.

                  c. Borrowers may voluntarily reduce the Maximum Permitted
Balance from time to time (a "Voluntary Permanent Reduction") on the following
conditions:

                        (i) that each such Voluntary Permanent Reduction be in
            the minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and in
            increments of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and made
            in writing by an Authorized Officer, effective on the fifth (5th)
            Banking Business Day following receipt by Lender; and

                        (ii) that each such Voluntary Permanent Reduction shall
            be irrevocable and a permanent reduction to the Maximum Permitted
            Balance.

                  d. In the event any Voluntary Permanent Reduction reduces the
Maximum Permitted Balance to less than the sum of the Funded Outstandings,
Borrowers shall immediately, cause the Funded Outstandings to be reduced by such
amount as may be necessary to cause the Funded Outstandings to be equal to or
less than the Maximum Permitted Balance.

            Section 2.02. Use of Proceeds of the Credit Facility. Available
Borrowings may only be used for the purposes of:

                  a. On the Closing Date (collectively the "Closing
Disbursements") paying in full the Revolving Credit Fee and the costs and
expenses of Henderson & Morgan, LLC, attorneys for Lender, incurred as of the
Closing Date.

                  b. During the Revolving Credit Period funding working capital
needs of Borrowers relating to the Business Operation, including, without
limitation, new product rollout, building inventory and receivables and

therewith, together with new business and asset acquisition and stock
repurchases.

            Section 2.03. Notice of Borrowings. An Authorized Officer shall give
Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. on a

                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>

Banking Business Day at Lender's office specified in Section 2.07, three (3)
full Banking Business Days prior written notice in the form of the Notice of
Borrowing ("Notice of Borrowing"), a copy of which is marked "Exhibit B",
affixed hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof,
for each proposed Borrowing to be made during the Revolving Credit Period with
reference to a IBO Rate and at least two (2) full Banking Business Days prior
notice for all other Borrowings, specifying the date and amount of each proposed
Borrowing. Not later than 11:00 o'clock a.m. on the Funding Date specified,
Lender shall disburse the amount of such Borrowing into the Designated Deposit
Account maintained with Lender. No Borrowing may exceed the Available
Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) and in increments of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).
Borrowers shall be entitled to no more than five (5) Borrowings during each
calendar month.

            Section 2.04. Limitation on Available Borrowings. Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary, no Borrowing shall be advanced under
the Credit Facility that would cause the Funding Leverage Ratio, calculated as
of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter after giving pro forma effect to the
amount of such Borrowing as if funded as of such Fiscal Quarter end, to exceed
2.0 to 1.0.

            Section 2.05. Conditions of Borrowings. Borrowings will only be made
so long as Borrowers are in full compliance with each of the requirements and
conditions precedent set forth in Article III B of this Credit Agreement.
Provided, however, Lender may advance Borrowings notwithstanding the existence
of less than full compliance with the requirements of Article III B and
Borrowings so made shall be deemed to have been made under the Credit Facility.

            Section 2.06. The Note and Interest Rate Options.

                  a. The Credit Facility shall be further evidenced by the
Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of Lender. Lender shall record the
date and amount of each Borrowing together with the applicable IBOR Loan
Interest Period in the case of portions of the unpaid principal under the Credit
Facility bearing interest with reference to a IBO Rate, and the amount of each
repayment of principal made thereunder by Borrowers and the entry of such
records shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, the
failure to make such a record or notation with respect to any

                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>

Borrowing or repayment thereof, or an error in making such a record or notation,
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers hereunder or
under the Revolving Credit Note.

                  b. Interest shall accrue on the entire outstanding principal
balance of the Credit Facility at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin, unless, Borrowers request a IBOR Loan pursuant to Section
2.03 or elect pursuant to Section 2.06(c) hereinbelow to have interest accrue on
a portion or portions of the outstanding principal balance at a IBO Rate
("Interest Rate Option"), in which case interest on such portion or portions
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to such IBO Rate plus the Applicable
Margin, as long as: (i) each such IBOR Loan is in a minimum amount of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and in minimum increments of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), and (ii) no more than five (5) IBOR Loans may be
outstanding at any one time. As of the Closing Date, the Applicable Margin for
the Base Rate Loan shall be zero (0) and the Applicable Margin for IBOR Loans
shall be 1.875%. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and
payable on the fifth day of the month following the Closing Date, on the fifth
day of each successive month thereafter, and on the Maturity Date. For each IBOR
Loan, interest shall be due and payable within five (5) days of the end of each
Interest Period applicable thereto, but in any event no less frequently than
within five (5) days of the end of each three (3) month period during the term
of such IBOR Loan. Except as qualified above, the outstanding principal balance
hereunder may be a Base Rate Loan or one or more IBOR Loans, or any combination
thereof, as Borrowers shall specify.

                  c. At any time and from time to time during the Revolving
Credit Period, Borrowers may Convert from one Interest Rate Option to another
Interest Rate Option by giving irrevocable notice to Lender of such Conversion
by 10:00 A.M., Las Vegas, Nevada Time, on a day which is at least three (3)
Banking Business Days prior to the proposed date of such Conversion to each IBOR
Loan or two (2) Banking Business Days prior to the proposed date of such
Conversion to each Base Rate Loan. Each such notice shall be made by an
Authorized Officer by telephone or telex and thereafter immediately confirmed in
writing by delivery to Lender of a Continuation/Conversion Notice specifying the
date of such Conversion, the amounts to be so Converted and the initial Interest
Period if the Conversion is to a IBOR Loan. Upon receipt of such
Continuation/Conversion Notice, Lender shall

                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>

promptly set the applicable interest rate (which in the case of a IBOR Loan
shall be the IBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin as of the second Banking
Business Day prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period) and the
applicable Interest Period if the Conversion is to a IBOR Loan and shall confirm
the same in writing to Borrowers. Each Conversion shall be on a Banking Business
Day. No IBOR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan or renewed on any day
other than the last day of the current Interest Period relating to such amounts
outstanding unless Borrowers pay any applicable Breakage Charges. If Borrowers
fail to give a Continuation/Conversion Notice for the continuation of a IBOR
Loan as a IBOR Loan for a new Interest Period in accordance with this Section
2.06(c), such IBOR Loan shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan at the end
of its then current Interest Period.

                  d. Each interest period (each individually an "Interest
Period" and collectively the "Interest Periods") for a IBOR Loan shall commence
on the date such IBOR Loan is made or the date of Conversion of any amount or
amounts of the outstanding Borrowings hereunder to a IBOR Loan, as the case may
be, and shall end on the date which is one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6)
months thereafter. However, no Interest Period may extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Each Interest Period for a IBOR Loan shall commence and end on a Banking
Business Day. If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
not a Banking Business Day, the Interest Period shall be extended to expire on
the next succeeding Banking Business Day, unless the result of such extension
would be to carry such Interest Period into another calendar month, in which
event such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Banking
Business Day.

                  e. The applicable IBO Rate and Base Rate shall be determined
by the Lender, and notice thereof shall be given promptly to Borrowers. Each
determination of the applicable Base Rate and IBO Rate shall be conclusive and
binding upon the Borrowers, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error.
The Lender shall, upon written request of Borrowers, deliver to Borrowers a
statement showing the computations used by the Lender in determining any rate
hereunder.

                  f. Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans and IBOR Loans
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and
the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Base Rate shall be effective
the same

                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>

day as a change in the Base Rate is announced by Lender as being effective.

                  g. If with respect to any Interest Period, (a) the Lender
reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on
Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the inter-bank eurodollar
market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
applicable IBO Rate, or (b) the IBO Rate as determined by Lender will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding, for
such Interest Period, an IBOR Loan, then so long as such circumstances shall
continue: (i) Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof, (ii) Lender shall
not be under any obligation to make a IBOR Loan or Convert a Base Rate Loan into
a IBOR Loan for which such circumstances exist, and (iii) on the last day of the
then current Interest Period, the IBOR Loan for which such circumstances exist
shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically Convert to a Base Rate Loan.

                  h. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Revolving
Credit Note or this Credit Agreement, if, after the Closing Date, any law, rule,
regulation, treaty, interpretation or directive (whether having the force of law
or not) or any change therein shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or
maintain IBOR Loans, (i) the commitment and agreement to maintain IBOR Loans
shall immediately be suspended, and (ii) unless required to be terminated
earlier, IBOR Loans, if any, shall be Converted on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto to Base Rate Loans. If it shall
become lawful for Lender to again maintain IBOR Loans, then Borrowers may once
again request Conversions to the IBO Rate.

            Section 2.07. Place and Manner of Payment.

                  a. All amounts payable by Borrowers to the Lender shall be
made to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement and the Revolving
Credit Note and shall be made on a Banking Business Day in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately available funds.

                  b. All such amounts payable by Borrowers shall be made to
Lender at its office located at U.S. Bank, Corporate Banking Department, 2300 W.
Sahara, Suite 120, Las Vegas, Nevada 89102, Denette Corrales, A.V.P., or such
other location as Lender may designate in writing from time to time. If such
payment is received by Lender prior to 11:00 o'clock

                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>

a.m., Lender shall credit Borrowers with such payment on the day so received. If
such payment is received by Lender after 11:00 o'clock a.m., Lender shall credit
Borrowers with such payment as of the next Banking Business Day. If the
Revolving Credit Note or any payment required to be made thereon or hereunder,
is or becomes due and payable on a day other than a Banking Business Day, the
due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Business Day
and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension.

                  c. The outstanding principal owing under the Credit Facility
and the Revolving Credit Note may, subject to Section 2.07(a), be prepaid at any
time in whole or in part without penalty, provided, however, that any portion or
portions of the unpaid principal balance which is accruing interest at an IBO
Rate may only be prepaid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period
unless Borrowers give three (3) days prior written notice to Lender and
additionally pay concurrently with such prepayment such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Lender for any losses, costs or expenses which it may
incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to
fund or maintain such IBOR Loan ("Breakage Charges"). A certificate of Lender as
to amounts payable hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers for
all purposes, absent manifest or demonstrable error. Any calculation hereunder
shall be made on the assumption that Lender has funded or will fund each IBOR
Loan in the London interbank market; provided that Lender shall not have any

                  a. If any payment due under the Revolving Credit Note is not
paid within ten (10) Banking Business Days after receipt by Borrowers of written
notice of such nonpayment from Lender, Borrowers promise to pay a late charge in
the amount of three percent (3%) of the amount of such delinquent payment and
Lender need not accept any late payment

                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>

made unless it is accompanied by such three percent (3%) late payment charge.

                  b. In the event of the existence of an Event of Default,
commencing on the first (1st) Banking Business Day following the receipt by
Borrowers of written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default from
Lender, the total of the unpaid balance of the principal and the then accrued
and unpaid interest owing under the Revolving Credit Note shall commence
accruing interest at a rate equal to three percent (3%) over the Base Rate (the
"Default Rate") until such time as all payments and additional interest are
paid, together with the curing of any Events of Default which may exist, at
which time the interest rate shall revert to that rate of interest otherwise
accruing pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Note.

                  c. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs of collection, including a
reasonable attorneys' fee, in addition to and at the time of the payment of such
sum of money and/or the performance of such acts as may be required to cure such
default. In the event legal action is commenced for the collection of any sums
owing hereunder or under the terms of the Revolving Credit Note, the Borrowers
agree that any judgment issued as a consequence of such action against Borrowers
shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate until fully paid.

Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and all of the other Loan Documents,
the Security Agreement shall be executed and delivered to Lender, as of the

            Section 2.11. Net Payments. All payments under this Credit
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and/or any other Loan Document shall be
made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in
order that all such payments, after deduction or withholding for or on account
of any future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever
nature imposed by the United States or any Governmental Authority, other than
franchise taxes or any tax on or measured by the gross receipts or overall net
income of Lender pursuant to the income tax laws of the United States or any
State, or the jurisdiction where Lender's principal office is located
(collectively "Taxes"),

                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>

shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this
Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable to the Lender under this Section 2.11 submitted to
the Borrowers by the Lender shall show in reasonable detail an accounting of the
amount payable and the calculations used to determine in good faith such amount
and shall be conclusive absent manifest or demonstrable error. Any amounts
payable by the Borrowers under this Section 2.11 with respect to past payments
shall be due within ten (10) Banking Business Days following receipt by the
Borrowers of such certificate from the Lender. With respect to each deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Taxes, the Borrowers shall promptly furnish
to the Lender such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be required
(in the reasonable judgment of the Lender) to establish any tax credit to which
the Lender may be entitled.

adoption, or any change in, of any applicable law, rule or regulation relating
to IBOR Loans (including without limitation Regulation D of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any successor thereto), or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive
relating to IBOR Loans (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

                  a. Shall subject Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with
respect to IBOR Loans, the Revolving Credit Note or Lender's obligation to make
any IBOR Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of
the principal of, or interest on, IBOR Loans or any other amounts due under the
Revolving Credit Note in respect of IBOR Loans or Lender's obligation to fund
IBOR Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
such Lender imposed by the United States or any Governmental Authority pursuant
to the income tax laws of the United States or any State, or the jurisdiction
where Lender's principal office is located); or

                  b. With respect to any IBOR Loan, shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, special deposit, capitalization, capital adequacy or similar

                                     - 27 -

requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, Lender; or

                  c. Shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting IBOR
Loans, the Revolving Credit Note or Lender's obligation to make any IBOR Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the
case of Regulation D or reserve requirements referred to above or a successor
thereto, to impose a cost on) Lender (or any Eurodollar office of such Lender)
of making or maintaining IBOR Loans, or to reduce the rate of return on capital
of Lender or the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under the
Revolving Credit Note, then within ten (10) Banking Business Days after demand
by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail an accounting of the amount payable and the calculations used
to determine in good faith such amount) the Borrowers shall pay directly to
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such
increased cost (or in the case of Regulation D or reserve requirements or
capital adequacy referred to above or a successor thereto, such costs which may
be imposed upon Lender) or such reduction of the rate of return on capital or of
any sum received or receivable under the Revolving Credit Note. Lender agrees to
use its reasonable efforts to minimize such increased or imposed costs or such
reduction.

            Section 2.13. Extension of Maturity Date. The entire balance of the
principal sum, together with the unpaid interest thereon accrued, shall be fully
due and payable on the Maturity Date. Provided, however, on or before three
hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the Maturity Date, but in no event prior
to four hundred ten (410) days prior to the Maturity Date, or any extension
thereof, Borrowers through an Authorized Officer may request a one (1) year
extension of the Maturity Date which may or may not be granted in the sole and
absolute discretion of Lender. Such extension, if granted by the Lender must be
evidenced by written approval of Lender delivered to Borrowers on or before
forty-five (45) days following receipt of such request for extension by the
Lender. Failure of Lender to deliver written approval of such extension request
within such forty-five (45) day period shall be deemed a rejection thereof.

<PAGE>

acceptable to Lender, issued by a company or companies authorized to issue such

amount equal to the maximum full insurable value of such buildings,
improvements, furnishings, fixtures, inventory and equipment (such policies

and nature on or with respect to the Collateral, except the Permitted
Encumbrances.

            Section 5.09. Advances. Until Bank Facility Termination, if
Borrowers should fail (i) to perform or observe, or (ii) to cause to be
performed or observed, any covenant or obligation of Borrowers under this Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the failure of which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then Lender, may (but
shall be under no obligation to) take such steps as are necessary to remedy any
such non-

                                     - 41 -
<PAGE>

performance or non-observance and provide for payment thereof. All amounts
advanced by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall become an additional
obligation of Borrowers to Lender secured by the Security Agreement and other
Loan Documents, shall reduce the amount of Available Borrowings and shall become
due and payable by Borrowers on the next interest payment date, together with
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (such interest to

            Section 5.10. Further Assurances. Borrowers and Lender will, at the
expense of the Borrowers, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such amendments or supplements
hereto or to any of the Loan Documents and such further documents, instruments
and transfers as any such party may reasonably require for the curing of any
defect in the execution or acknowledgement hereof or in any of the Loan
Documents, or in the description of the Collateral.

            Section 5.11. Indemnification. Borrowers agree to and do hereby
jointly and severally indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless Lender and
its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and shareholders
(individually an "Indemnified Party" and collectively the "Indemnified Parties")
from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses or liabilities of any
kind or nature from any investigations, suits, claims, demands or other
proceedings, including reasonable counsel fees incurred in investigating or
defending such claim, suffered by any of them and caused by, relating to,
arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with this Credit
Agreement, with any other Loan Document or with the transactions contemplated
herein and thereby; provided, however, Borrowers shall not be obligated to
indemnify, protect, defend or save harmless an Indemnified Party if, and to the
extent, the loss, damage, expense or liability was caused by (a) the negligence
or misconduct of such Indemnified Party, or (b) the breach of this Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Indemnified Party or the breach of
any laws, rules or regulations by an Indemnified Party (other than those
breaches of laws arising from any Borrower's default). In case any action shall
be brought against any Indemnified Party based upon any of the above and in
respect to which indemnity may be sought against Borrowers, Lender shall
promptly notify Borrowers in writing, and Borrowers shall assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by

                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>

Borrowers and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, the payment of all costs and
expenses and the right to negotiate and consent to settlement. Upon reasonable
determination made by an Indemnified Party that such counsel would have a
conflict representing such Indemnified Party and Borrowers, the applicable
Indemnified Party, upon the prior approval of Borrowers, shall have the right to
employ, at the expense of Borrowers, separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof. Borrowers shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action effected without their consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with Borrowers' consent, or
if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any such action, Borrowers
agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless such Indemnified Parties from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In the
event that any Person is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction not to
have been entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.11, it shall repay
all amounts with respect to which it has been so adjudged, together with
applicable attorney's fees. If and to the extent that the indemnification
provisions contained in this Section 5.11 are unenforceable for any reason, the
Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of such obligations that is permissible under applicable law. The
provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive the termination of this Credit
Agreement and the repayment of the Bank Facilities.

            Section 5.12. Compliance With Other Loan Documents. Borrowers shall
comply with each and every term, condition and agreement contained in the Loan
Documents.

            Section 5.13. Suits or Actions Affecting Borrowers. Until Bank
Facility Termination, Borrowers shall promptly advise Lender in writing within
ten (10) days of Borrowers' knowledge of (a) any Significant Litigation claims,
litigation, proceedings or disputes (whether or not purportedly on behalf of
Borrowers) against, or to the actual knowledge of Borrowers, threatened or
affecting Borrowers, (b) any material labor controversy resulting in or
threatening to result in a strike against the Business Operation, or (c) any
proposal by any Governmental Authority to acquire any of the material assets or
business of Borrowers.

            Section 5.14. Maintenance of Designated Deposit Account. Until Bank
Facility Termination, Borrowers shall maintain the Designated Deposit Account at
the principal

office of Lender to facilitate the operational process of the Credit Facility.

            Section 5.15. Notice to State Gaming Control Board. Borrowers shall
make all required reports and disclosures with respect to the Credit Facility to
the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and all other applicable Governmental

            Section 5.16. Change of Name. No Borrower shall change its name
without first giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lender.

            Section 5.17. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Borrowers will comply

referred to in this paragraph in the name and on behalf of Borrowers. Lender may
exercise one or more of Lender's remedies simultaneously and all its remedies
are nonexclusive and cumulative. Lender shall not be required to pursue or
exhaust any Collateral or remedy before pursuing any other Collateral or remedy.
Lender's failure to exercise any remedy for a particular default shall not be
deemed a waiver of (i) such remedy, nor its rights to exercise any other remedy
for that default, nor (ii) its right to exercise that remedy for any subsequent
default.

            Section 7.03. Application of Proceeds. All payments and proceeds
received and all amounts held or realized from the sale or other disposition of
the Collateral which are to be applied hereunder towards satisfaction of
Borrowers' obligations under this Credit Agreement, shall be applied in the
following order of priority:

                  a. First, to the payment of all reasonable fees, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by Lender,
its agents or representatives in connection with the realization upon any of the
Collateral;

                  b. Next, to the payment in full of any other amounts due under
this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents (other than the Revolving
Credit Note);

                  c. Next, to the balance of interest remaining unpaid on the
Revolving Credit Note;

                  d. Next, to the balance of principal remaining unpaid on the
Revolving Credit Note;

                  e. Next, to the payment of any other amounts owing to Lender
which is necessary to cause Bank Facility Termination; and

                  f. Next, the balance, if any, of such payments, proceeds, or
amounts to whomever may be entitled thereto.

            Section 7.04. Notices. In order to entitle Lender to exercise any
remedy available hereunder, it shall not be

                                     - 50 -
<PAGE>

necessary for Lender to give any notice, other than such notice as may be
required expressly herein or otherwise by law.

            Section 7.05. Agreement to Pay Attorney's Fees and Expenses. Subject
to the provisions of Section 9.16, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
as a result of which Lender shall require and employ attorneys or incur other
expenses for the collection of payments due or to become due or the enforcement
or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of
Borrowers contained herein, Borrowers shall, on demand, pay to Lender the actual
and reasonable fees of such attorneys (including actual and reasonable allocated
costs of in-house legal counsel) and such other reasonable expenses so incurred
by Lender.

            Section 7.06. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the
event any agreement contained in this Credit Agreement should be breached by
either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be
limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any
other breach hereunder.

            Section 7.07. Licensing of Lender. In the event of the occurrence of
an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and it shall
become necessary, or in the opinion of Lender advisable, for an agent,
supervisor, receiver or other representative of Lender to become licensed under
the provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Borrowers engage in
business or rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, as a condition to
receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Security Agreement or
other Loan Documents for the benefit of Lender or otherwise to enforce its
rights hereunder or thereunder, Borrowers do hereby give their consent to the
granting of such license or licenses and agrees to execute such further
documents as may be required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.

            Section 7.08. Exercise of Rights Subject to Applicable Law. All
rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article VII may be exercised only
to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable
provision of the laws of any Governmental Authority and all of the provisions of
this Article VII are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory
provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Credit Agreement invalid,

                                     - 51 -
<PAGE>

unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or filed under the provisions of
any applicable law.

            Section 7.09. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Lender shall
have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Credit
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, the Security Agreement or any other Loan
Document by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to Lender, then and in every such case Borrowers and Lender shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall continue as if
such proceedings had not been taken, subject to any binding rule by the
applicable court or other tribunal in any such proceeding.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                      DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION

            Section 8.01. No Abatement of Payments. If all or any part of the
Collateral shall be materially damaged or destroyed, or if title to or the
temporary use of the whole or any part of any of the Collateral shall be taken
or condemned by a competent authority for any public use or purpose, or by
exercise of the power of eminent domain, there shall be no abatement or
reduction in the amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder or under the Revolving
Credit Note, and Borrowers shall continue to be obligated to make all payments
required hereunder and under the Revolving Credit Note.

            Section 8.02. Distribution of Capital Proceeds Upon Occurrence of
Fire or Casualty. Except as provided hereafter, all monies in excess of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) up to the amount of Funded
Outstandings received from fire, flood and hazard extended insurance policies
covering any of the Collateral shall be paid directly to Lender. Unless an Event
of Default has occurred hereunder and is then continuing such amount shall be
released to Borrowers for repair or replacement of the property destroyed or to
reimburse Borrowers for the costs of such repair or replacement incurred prior
to the date of such release. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and
remains continuing, the amount so collected may be applied by Lender to reduce
the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility, and the entire amount received
shall be applied in the manner set

                                     - 52 -
<PAGE>

forth in Section 7.03 and Borrowers shall not be entitled to any further
Borrowings hereunder as to the amount so applied.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                          GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

            The following terms and conditions shall be applicable throughout
the term of this Credit Agreement:

            Section 9.01. Failure to Exercise Rights. Nothing herein contained
shall impose upon Lender or Borrowers any obligation to enforce any terms,
covenants or conditions contained herein. Failure of Lender or Borrowers, in any
one or more instances, to insist upon strict performance by Borrowers or Lender
of any terms, covenants or conditions of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment by
Lender or Borrowers of their right to insist upon and to enforce in the future,
by injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, strict compliance
by Borrowers or Lender with all the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The consent of Lender or
Borrowers to any act or omission by Borrowers or Lender shall not be construed
to be a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the
requirement for Lender's or Borrowers' consent to be obtained in any future or
other instance.

            Section 9.02. Notices and Delivery. Unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, any consent, notice or other communication herein required or
permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served,
telecopied or sent by courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed
to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt
of a telecopy (or on the next Banking Business Day if such telecopy is received
on a non- Banking Business Day or after 5:00 p.m. on a Banking Business Day) or
four (4) Banking Business Days after deposit in the United States mail
(registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed). Notices
to Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until received by
Lender. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until
notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 9.02) shall
be as set forth below each party's name on the signature pages hereof, or, as to
each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a
written notice to all of the other parties. All deliveries to

                                     - 53 -
<PAGE>

be made to Lender shall be made at the address specified for notice on the
signature page hereto or such other address as may be designated by Lender in a
written notice.

            Section 9.03. Modification in Writing. This Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties and
supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral with respect to the
subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any term sheets furnished
by Lender to Borrowers. Neither this Credit Agreement, nor any other Loan
Documents, nor any provision herein, or therein, may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought.

            Section 9.04. Other Agreements. If the terms of any documents,
certificates or agreements delivered by Borrowers in connection with this Credit
Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall
use their best efforts to amend such document, certificate or agreement to the
satisfaction of Lender to remove such inconsistency.

            Section 9.05. Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed by
the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts with the same effect
as if the signatures hereto and hereby were upon the same instrument. All such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same document.

            Section 9.06. Rights, Powers and Remedies are Cumulative. None of
the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon or reserved to Lender or
Borrowers in this Credit Agreement are intended to be exclusive of any other
available right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and
remedy shall be cumulative and not alternative, and shall be in addition to
every right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute. Any forbearance, delay or omission by
Lender or Borrowers in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not
impair any such right, power or remedy or be considered or taken as a waiver or
relinquishment of the right to insist upon and to enforce in the future, by
injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, any of said rights,
powers and remedies given to Lender or Borrowers herein. The exercise of any
right or partial exercise thereof by Lender or Borrowers shall not preclude the
further exercise

                                     - 54 -
<PAGE>

thereof and the same shall continue in full force and effect until specifically
waived by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.

            Section 9.07. Continuing Representations. All agreements,
representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Credit Facility hereunder
and the execution and delivery of each other Loan Document until and final
payment of all sums owing under the Credit Facility and the Credit Facility has
been irrevocably terminated.

            Section 9.08. Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants,
warranties and conditions contained in this Credit Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.

            Section 9.09. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this
Credit Agreement.

            Section 9.10. Choice of Law and Forum. This Credit Agreement and
each of the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Borrowers further agree that the full and exclusive forum for
the determination of any action relating to this Credit Agreement, the Loan
Documents, or any other document or instrument delivered in favor of Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be either an appropriate Court of the State
of Nevada or the United States District Court or United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Nevada.

            Section 9.11. Arbitration.

                  a. Other than an action or legal proceeding instituted by
Lender for the purpose of exercising any remedy under the Security Agreement,
upon the request of any party, whether made before or after the institution of
any legal proceeding, any action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind
(e.g., whether in contract or in tort, statutory or common law, legal or
equitable) ("Dispute") now existing or hereafter arising between the parties in
any way arising out of, pertaining to or in connection with the Credit
Agreement, Loan Documents or any related agreements, documents, or instruments
(collectively the "Documents"), may, by summary proceedings (e.g., a plea in
abatement or motion to stay

                                     - 55 -
<PAGE>

further proceedings), bring an action in court to compel arbitration of any
Dispute.

                  b. All Disputes between the parties shall be resolved by
binding arbitration governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

                  c. No provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under this
arbitration clause shall limit the rights of any party, and the parties shall
have the right during any Dispute, to seek, use and employ ancillary or
preliminary remedies, judicial or otherwise, for the purposes of realizing upon,
preserving, protecting or foreclosing upon any property, real or personal, which
is involved in a Dispute, or which is subject to, or described in, the
Documents, including, without limitation, rights and remedies relating to: (i)
foreclosing against any real or personal property collateral or other security
by the exercise of a power of sale under the Security Agreement or other
security agreement or instrument, or applicable law, (ii) exercising self-help
remedies (including setoff rights) or (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary
remedies such as injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment or
the appointment of a receiver from a court having jurisdiction before, during or
after the pendency of any arbitration. The institution and maintenance of an
action for judicial relief or pursuit of provisional or ancillary remedies or
exercise of self-help remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any
party, including the plaintiff, to submit the Dispute to arbitration nor render
inapplicable the compulsory arbitration provision hereof.

            Section 9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH MUTUALLY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDING
ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT
NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF BORROWERS AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THIS CREDIT
AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH MUTUALLY AGREE
THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE
DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE

                                     - 56 -
<PAGE>

DEFENDING PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT
OR OTHER TRIBUNAL AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE COMPLAINING PARTY TO
THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

            Section 9.13. Scope of Approval and Review. Any inspection of the
Business Operation shall be deemed to be made solely for Lender's internal
purposes and shall not be relied upon by the Borrowers or any third party. In no
event shall Lender be deemed or construed to be joint venturers or partners of
Borrowers.

            Section 9.14. Severability of Provisions. In the event any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Credit Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.

            Section 9.15. Cumulative Nature of Covenants. All covenants
contained herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other covenant. Any
action allowed by any covenant shall be allowed only if such action is not
prohibited by any other covenant.

            Section 9.16. Costs to Prevailing Party. If any action or
arbitration proceeding is brought by any party against any other party relating
to this Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover such costs and attorney's fees as the court in such
action or proceeding may adjudge reasonable.

            Section 9.17. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lender provided by law, if any Event of Default exists, Lender is authorized at
any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such
notice being waived by the Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held by Lender to or for the credit or the
account of Borrowers against any and all obligations of Borrowers under the
Credit Facility now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the
Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or any Loan Document
and although such amounts owed may be contingent or unmatured. Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such setoff and application made by
Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of

                                     - 57 -
<PAGE>

such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under this Section 9.17 are
in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which Lender may have.

            Section 9.18. Confidentiality. Lender agrees to hold any non-public
information that it may receive from Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement
(or pursuant to any other Loan Document) in confidence and consistent with their
respective policies for handling material non-public information, except for
disclosure: (a) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrowers or Lender; (b) to
the other professional advisors to Borrowers or Lender, provided that the
recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement
substantially similar to this Section 9.18; (c) to regulatory officials having
jurisdiction over Lender; (d) to any Gaming Authority having regulatory
jurisdiction over Borrowers, provided that Lender agrees to endeavor to notify
Borrowers of any such disclosure; and (e) as required by law or legal process or
in connection with any legal proceeding, provided that Lender uses reasonable
efforts to notify Borrowers prior to any such disclosure. For purposes of the
foregoing, "non-public information" shall mean any information respecting
Borrowers reasonably considered by Borrowers to be material and not available to
the public, other than (i) information previously filed with any governmental
agency and available to the public, (ii) information which is available to the
general public at the time of use or disclosure, (iii) information which becomes
available to the general public, other than by manner of unauthorized disclosure
or use, or (iv) information previously published in any public medium from a
source other than, directly or indirectly, Lender. Nothing in this Section shall
be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of Lender
to Borrowers.

                  (a) Notwithstanding the security interest in the Collateral
which is granted pursuant to Section 1.01 hereof, and except as otherwise
provided hereunder or in any Loan Document, Debtors shall have the right to use
and to continue to make collections on and receive any payments which may be

are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and
effective endorsement by Debtors, to the same extent as though it were manually
executed by the duly authorized officer of Debtors, regardless of by whom or
under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other
endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to
such matters, and Debtors hereby expressly waive demand, presentment, protest

                                        8

of Default, all the Collateral now, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Secured
Party shall be held by Secured Party in its possession, custody and control. Any
or all of the Collateral delivered to Secured Party, which is held in an
account, may be held in an interest bearing or non-interest bearing account, in
Secured Party's sole and absolute discretion, and Secured Party will apply any
such interest to payment of the Secured Obligations or other expenses related to
the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall obligate Secured Party to invest any
Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon.

                  (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Secured Party's possession,
custody or control, Secured Party may use, operate and consume the Collateral,
whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for
the purpose of performing any of Debtors' obligations with respect thereto, or
otherwise. Secured Party may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or
any part thereof to Debtors, and the receipt of any of the same by Debtors shall
be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured
Party thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility
therefor.

                  (c) So long as Secured Party exercises reasonable care with
respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Secured Party
shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no
event shall Secured Party have liability for any diminution in value of
Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events. Secured Party
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the
preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of
Secured Party is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured
Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party shall not
have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to
any Collateral, whether or not

                                        9
<PAGE>

Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking
any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any
Collateral.

Secured Party's request, assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Secured Party at places which Secured Party may designate, whether at the
premises of Debtors or elsewhere, and will make available to Secured Party, free
of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Debtors for the purpose of
Secured Party's taking possession of the Collateral or storing same or removing
or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

         Section 4.02. Possession. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party also shall have the right,
without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction (and Debtors hereby expressly
consent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to
the appointment of such a receiver), and without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or
any part

                                       12
<PAGE>

thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and
proceeds thereof. Secured Party's taking possession of the Collateral shall not
cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done
pursuant to such notice. The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver
appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

         Section 4.03. Conduct of Sale.

                  (a) Any public or private sale or other disposition of the
Collateral may be held at any office of Secured Party, or at Debtors' place of
business, or at any other place permitted by applicable law, and without the
necessity of the Collateral being within the view of the prospective purchasers.
Secured Party may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or
portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and
Debtors expressly waive any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any
Collateral. Secured Party or any Person on Secured Party's behalf may bid and
purchase at any such sale or other disposition. The net cash proceeds resulting
from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the
Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and
preparing for sale or lease,selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating and the
like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in such order as
shall be determined by Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion, all
unless otherwise provided by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
Debtors and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to Secured Party
on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale,
disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

                  (b) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, Secured Party will send or otherwise make available to Debtors
reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the
time at, or after, which any private sale thereof is to be made. The requirement
of sending reasonable notice conclusively shall be met if such notice is mailed,
first class mail, postage prepaid, to Debtors at the address set forth in the
Credit Agreement, or delivered or otherwise sent to Debtors, at least ten (10)
days before the date of the sale. Debtors expressly waive any right to receive
notice of

                                       13
<PAGE>

any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured
Obligations except as expressly provided for in this paragraph.

                  (c) Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder,
Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at
any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim
or right upon the part of Debtors or any other Person except a third party
lienholder permitted under the Loan Documents, and Debtors hereby waive (to the
extent permitted by applicable laws) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any
part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Secured Party
shall not be required to apply any portion of the sales price to the Secured
Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any
Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid
in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof. Secured Party shall not incur
any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the
Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold
again.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 5.01. Attorney-in-Fact. Debtors hereby irrevocably nominate and
appoint Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes: (a) to
do all acts and things which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to preserve,
process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any and every act which
Debtors are obligated to do under this Agreement, at the expense of the Debtors,
and without any obligation to do so; and (c) upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to execute any and all papers and
instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to preserve and
protect the Collateral and to protect Secured Party's security interests
therein; provided, however, that Secured Party shall be under no obligation
whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad faith or actual
malice, Secured Party shall have no liability or responsibility for any act
taken or omission with respect

                                       14
<PAGE>

thereto. Debtors hereby consent and agree that, where applicable, the issuers
of, the obligors on, or the parties to any of the Collateral, shall be entitled
to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right
of Secured Party to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with
respect to any such Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to
the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Debtors or any other Person to
such issuers, obligors or parties.

         Section 5.02. Costs and Expenses. Debtors agree after an Event of
Default or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement to pay to Secured Party
all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or
attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in
connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term
or provision hereof. All reasonable advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by
Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by
this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured
Obligation of Debtors under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or
attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part
of the Secured Obligation and shall be paid to the Secured Party by Debtors,
immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate(s) provided
for under the Credit Agreement.

         Section 5.03. Statute of Limitations and Other Laws. Until the Secured
Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, and all obligations of
Secured Party to advance funds under the Credit Facility have been
unconditionally and indefeasibly terminated, the power of sale and all other
rights, remedies, and privileges which are granted hereunder shall continue to
exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time
irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become
barred by any statute of limitations. Debtors expressly waive the benefit of any
and all statutes of limitation, and any and all laws providing for exemption of
property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

         Section 5.04. Other Agreements. The rights and remedies of Secured
Party upon the occurrence and continuance

                                       15
<PAGE>

of an Event of Default (whether such rights and remedies are conferred by
statute, by rule of law, by this Agreement, the Loan Documents or otherwise) may
be exercised by Secured Party, in the sole discretion of Secured Party, either
alternatively, concurrently, or consecutively in any order. The exercise by
Secured Party of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not be
construed to be an election of remedies nor a waiver of any other rights and
remedies which may be available to Secured Party.

         Section 5.05. Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.
Debtors warrant and agree that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein
are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their
significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to
any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect
rights which Debtors otherwise may have against Secured Party or others, or with
respect to the Collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and
consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law.
If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any
applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to
the maximum extent permitted by law.

         Section 5.06. Release of Debtors. This Agreement shall be released when
all Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in
full and when all obligations which Secured Party may have to advance funds
under the Credit Facility, have been unconditionally and indefeasibly
terminated. Upon such release, Secured Party shall return any pledged Collateral
to Debtors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall
endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do
all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral
to Debtors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to
evidence or document the release of Secured Party's interests arising under this
Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Debtors.

         Section 5.07. Indemnity. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
perform or discharge any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by
Debtors with respect to the Collateral or hereunder. Debtors hereby agree to
indemnify Secured Party for, and to save them harmless from, any and all
liability arising from the Collateral or this Agreement. This

                                       16
<PAGE>

Agreement shall not place responsibility for the control, care, management,
operation or repair of the Collateral upon Secured Party; nor shall this
Agreement cause Secured Party to be responsible or liable for any negligence in
the management, operation, upkeep, repair or control of the Collateral which
results in loss, injury or death to any tenant, guest, licensee, employee or
stranger (provided that this Section 5.07 shall not act to relieve Secured Party
from liability which results from Secured Party's own negligence or misconduct).

         Section 5.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the
State of Nevada without regard to conflict of law principles.

         Section 5.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of separate counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures hereto
and hereby were upon the

                                       17

same instrument. All such counterparts shall together constitute one and the
same document.
