1

 

(vi)          the Warrant Agreement, dated as of
March 12, 2002, between PDS and GE Capital (the “Warrant”)

 

(which lawsuit and all claims and counterclaims that were or could have
been raised in the lawsuit will hereinafter be referred to as the “GE Lawsuit”); and

 

WHEREAS, on October 3, 2003, PDS brought a lawsuit against EMX in
the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, case number
CV-S-03-1253-JCM-LRL, which was transferred to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York and assigned case number 03 CV 09381,
arising from and relating to the parties’ relationship under the Sharing
Agreement and the Pledge Agreement (which lawsuit and all claims and
counterclaims that were or could have been raised in the lawsuit will
hereinafter be referred to as the “PDS Lawsuit”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties in good faith wish to resolve the dispute between
them relating to the subject matter of the GE Lawsuit and the PDS Lawsuit;

 

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual exchange of promises which
follows and other valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.             PDS Repurchase of Trump, Jim’s Enterprises and State
Line Lease Schedules.  PDS
agrees that, on the Closing Date, PDS shall pay $10,518,041.14 to EMX (the “Repurchase Payment”), to repurchase the
Trump, Jim’s Enterprises and State Line Lease Schedules as provided in the Sale
and Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

On the Closing Date, the Repurchase Payment shall be made in two
parts.  First, PDS agrees that the
amount of $4,946,725.05 that is
currently held in escrow account 03090161
at Stewart Title of Nevada, in Las Vegas, Nevada, relating to the Pioneer Hotel
early buy-out transaction, plus $6,597.83 which represents all interest accrued
therein (the “Pioneer
Escrow Funds”), will be released to GE.

 

2

 

Second, PDS shall pay the remainder of the Repurchase Payment by making
a direct wire transfer of $5,564,718.26
to the following account:

 

Bank of America

231 South LaSalle Street

Chicago, Illinois  60697

ABA # 071000039

Acct. # 81-8-841-1298

Acct Name:  Heller EMX, Inc.

 

The “Closing
Date” shall be March 1, 2004.

 

2.             Termination of the Sharing Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement.  PDS agrees that,
on the Closing Date, PDS shall pay $2,600,000.00
to EMX by wire transfer to the EMX account identified in Paragraph 1
above (the “Sharing
Agreement Payment”). 
Upon receipt of the Sharing Agreement Payment by EMX, PDS and EMX agree
that all rights and obligations arising under the Sharing Agreement and the
Pledge Agreement are terminated.

 

In addition, PDS agrees that, after PDS has received $2,600,000.00 in
Residual Profits derived from the User Leases listed on Exhibit B attached
hereto (the “User
Leases”), the Residual Profits PDS receives from the User Leases
described as “Non-New
Jersey Leases” on Exhibit B shall be distributed, as realized
from each Non-New Jersey Lease (on a lease by lease basis) as follows:  PDS will receive 75% of the Residual
Profits, and EMX will receive 25% of the Residual Profits up to an aggregate
maximum of $400,000.00.  PDS shall use its best efforts to derive
Residual Profits from the User Leases. 
PDS shall remarket the equipment subject to the User Leases in a manner
consistent with its remarketing of any other equipment that is not the subject
of this Settlement Agreement.  Once PDS
has distributed to EMX $400,000.00 in Residual Profits realized from the
Non-New Jersey Leases, or in the event that PDS has exhausted its remarketing
efforts and no additional Residual Profits are available under the User Leases,
PDS’s obligation to share any Residual Profits from the User Leases shall
terminate.  All non-defined capitalized
terms in this Paragraph 2 shall have the definitions ascribed to them in

 

3

 

the Sharing Agreement.  For
avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that, as provided in the Sharing
Agreement, the Residual Profits shall be calculated as the total residual
proceeds derived from each User Lease less reasonable PDS direct out-of-pocket
remarketing costs and less the PDS Assumed Residual as indicated on the Sharing
Agreement Schedules.  PDS may not deduct
any remarketing fees as direct out-of-pocket remarketing costs.

 

PDS shall provide EMX on a quarterly basis with a report that details
(1) the current status of each User Lease; and (2) any Residual Profits PDS has
realized from each User Lease.  Such
reports shall include copies of any documents evidencing Residual Profit
payments received by PDS.  The reports shall be sent to GE
Commercial & Industrial Finance, Inc., 120 Long Ridge Road, Stamford,
Connecticut, 06927, Attention:  Ralph
Willis.  Once PDS has distributed to EMX
$400,000.00 in Residual Profits realized from the Non-New Jersey Leases, or
upon notice by PDS that PDS’s remarketing efforts have been exhausted and no additional
Residual Profits are available, PDS’s obligation under this Settlement
Agreement to provide quarterly reports to EMX shall terminate

 

3.             Termination of the Warrant.  PDS and GE Capital agree that, on the
Closing Date, upon receipt of the Repurchase Payment and the Sharing Agreement
Payment as provided in Paragraphs 1-2 above, all rights and obligations arising
under the Warrant are terminated.

 

4.             Amendment of Loan and Security Agreements between
Heller Financial Inc. and PDS.  PDS
and GE Capital agree that, on the Closing Date, upon receipt of the Repurchase
Payment and the Sharing Agreement Payment as provided in Paragraphs 1-2 above,
the existing loan documents between PDS and Heller Financial, Inc. are amended
as provided in the amendment agreements attached hereto as Exhibits C and D.

 

4

 

5.             No Admission Of Liability.  No party to this Settlement Agreement, by
entering into the Settlement Agreement, makes any admission with regard to the
merits of the parties’ dispute or the allegations in the GE Lawsuit or the PDS
Lawsuit.

 

6.             Resolution of the GE Lawsuit and the PDS Lawsuit.  Within five business days after
making the Repurchase Payment and the Sharing Agreement Payment as provided in
Paragraphs 1-2 above, PDS shall provide GE with executed versions of the Joint
Stipulations of Dismissal with Prejudice attached hereto as Exhibit E.  PDS shall deliver the documents to John
Cambria, Salans, Rockefeller Center, 620 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, 10020-2457.  Upon such delivery of these executed
documents, PDS hereby authorizes GE to file and present said executed documents
with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  Thereafter, the parties shall take no other
action to prosecute the GE Lawsuit or the PDS Lawsuit.

 

7.             Cooperation Regarding the New Jersey Casino Control
Commission.  PDS and GE agree
to cooperate regarding advising the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “Commission”) of this
Settlement Agreement, and preparing any filings or attending any proceedings
which the Commission may require with respect to this Settlement
Agreement.  Each party will bear its own
fees and costs with respect to any such filings or proceedings.

 

8.             Release By GE.  On the Closing Date, upon receipt of the total sum of $13,111,443.31, plus any accrued interest
in escrow account 03090161,
representing the Repurchase Payment plus the Sharing Agreement Payment as
provided in Paragraphs 1-2 above,  GE,
for itself and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, predecessors, successors
in interest, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, agrees
that it releases and forever discharges PDS, its affiliates, subsidiaries,
parents, predecessors, successors in interest, officers, directors, employees,
agents and representatives, from any and all claims, and causes of action,
including

 

5

 

any claims for attorneys’ fees or litigation expenses, whether

PDS, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, predecessors, successors in
interest, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, or any
one of them, arising out of the GE Lawsuit, the PDS Lawsuit or the parties’
relationship under the Trump Sale and Purchase Agreements, the Sharing
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the Warrant.  GE retains its right to enforce the provisions of this Settlement
Agreement in an appropriate court of law.

 

Nothing contained herein releases any of PDS’s obligations under any
other agreement between or among the parties.

 

9.             Release By PDS.  On Closing Date, upon payment of the total sum of $13,111,443.31, plus any accrued interest
in escrow account 03090161,
representing the Repurchase Payment plus the Sharing Agreement Payment as
provided in Paragraphs 1-2 above, PDS, for itself and its affiliates,
subsidiaries, parents, predecessors, successors in interest, officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives, agrees that it releases and
forever discharges GE, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, predecessors,
successors in interest, officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives, from any and all claims, and causes of action, including any
claims for attorneys’ fees or litigation expenses, whether presently known or
unknown, that it has, has had, or may come to have against GE, its affiliates,
subsidiaries, parents, predecessors, successors in interest, officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives, or any one of them, arising
out of the GE Lawsuit, the PDS Lawsuit or the parties’ relationship under the

to enforce the provisions of this Settlement Agreement in an appropriate court
of law.
