Grantor pursuant to this Section 8 may be paid directly to the Person who shall
have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving
damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 8 is
not applicable, Grantor shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to
or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
maintained by Grantor pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid to Grantor as
reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Loss involving Equipment
or Inventory and pursuant to which Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries receives
Net Cash Proceeds equal to or in excess of $2,500,000, all insurance payments in
respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied by Secured
Party as specified in subsection 2.4A(ii)(b) of the Credit Agreement.
XVI-12
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(c), upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all insurance
payments in respect of any Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied
by Secured Party as specified in Section 18.
SECTION 9. Special Covenants with respect to Accounts and Related
Contracts.
(a) Grantor shall keep its chief place of business and chief
executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the
Accounts and Related Contracts at the location therefor specified in Section 4
or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to Secured Party, at such other location
in a jurisdiction where all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that
Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable
Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, with
respect to such Accounts and Related Contracts shall have been taken. Grantor
will hold and preserve such records and will permit representatives of Secured
Party at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts
from such records, and Grantor agrees to render to Secured Party, at Grantor's
cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably
requested with regard thereto. Promptly upon the request of Secured Party,
Grantor shall deliver to Secured Party complete and correct copies of each
Related Contract.
(b) Grantor shall, for not less than 5 years from the date on
which such Account arose, maintain (i) complete records of each Account,
including records of all payments received, credits granted and merchandise
returned, and (ii) all documentation relating thereto.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), Grantor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
to Grantor under the Accounts (but, other than with respect to security
deposits, in no event more than one month in advance) and Related Contracts. In
connection with such collections, Grantor may take (and, at Secured Party's
direction, shall take) such action as Grantor or Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of amounts due or to become due
under the Accounts; provided, however, that Secured Party shall have the right
at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default or a Potential Event of Default and upon written notice to Grantor of
its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any
Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to Secured Party and to direct such
account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due
to Grantor thereunder directly to Secured Party, to notify each Person
maintaining a lockbox or similar arrangement to which account debtors or
obligors under any Accounts have been directed to make payment to remit all
amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items from time to
time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement directly to
Secured Party and, upon such notification and at the expense of Grantor, to
enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment
XVI-13
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Grantor might have done.
After receipt by Grantor of the notice from Secured Party referred to in the
proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including
checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of the Accounts and
the Related Contracts shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured
Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be
forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 18, and (ii) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any
account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
SECTION 10. Special Provisions With Respect to the Assigned
Agreements.
(a) Grantor shall at its expense:
(i) perform and observe all terms and provisions of
the Assigned Agreements to be performed or observed by it, maintain the
Assigned Agreements in full force and effect, enforce the Assigned
Agreements in accordance with their terms, and take all such action to
such end as may be from time to time reasonably requested by Secured
Party; and
(ii) furnish to Secured Party, promptly upon receipt
thereof, copies of all notices of default received by Grantor under or
pursuant to the Assigned Agreements, and from time to time (A) furnish
to Secured Party such information and reports regarding the Assigned
Agreements as Secured Party may reasonably request and (B) upon
reasonable request of Secured Party make to the appropriate
counterparty to an Assigned Agreement such demands and requests for
information and reports or for action as Grantor is entitled to make
under the Assigned Agreements.
(b) Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Requisite Lenders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld:
(i) cancel or terminate any of the Assigned Agreements
or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof if such
cancellation or termination, together with all other such cancellations
or terminations, would result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) amend or otherwise modify the Assigned Agreements
or give any consent, waiver or approval thereunder if the effect of
such amendment or modification, together with all other amendments,
modifications, consents, waivers or approvals made or consents, waivers
or approvals given, is to increase materially the obligations of
Grantor thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the
XVI-14
counterparties to such Assigned Agreements that could reasonably be
expected to be materially adverse to Grantor or Lenders;
(iii) waive any default under or breach of the
Assigned Agreements;
(iv) consent to or permit or accept any prepayment of
amounts to become due under or in connection with the Assigned
Agreements, except as expressly provided therein; or
(v) take any other action in connection with the
Assigned Agreements that would impair the value of the interest or
rights of Grantor thereunder or that would impair the interest or
rights of Secured Party.
SECTION 11. Deposit Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party and each Lender may exercise
dominion and control over, and refuse to permit further withdrawals (whether of
money, securities, instruments or other property) from any deposit accounts
maintained with Secured Party or such Lender constituting part of the
Collateral.
SECTION 12. License of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, etc.
Grantor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party, effective upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, the nonexclusive right and license to
use all trademarks, tradenames, service marks, copyrights, customers lists,
patents or technical processes owned or used by Grantor that relate to the
Collateral and any other collateral granted by Grantor as security for the
Secured Obligations, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the
extent necessary to enable Secured Party to use, possess and realize on the
Collateral and to enable any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the
Collateral. This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors,
assigns and transferees of Secured Party and its successors, assigns and
transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment,
transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and
license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment
whatsoever be made to Grantor.
SECTION 13. Transfers and Other Liens. Grantor shall not:
(a) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement;
or
(b) except for the security interest created by this Agreement
and the interests disclosed in Schedule IV hereto which are permitted by the
Credit Agreement, create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any
of the Collateral to secure the indebtedness or other obligations of any Person.
XVI-15
SECTION 14. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with
full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor,
Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion to
take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including
without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by
Grantor or paid to Secured Party pursuant to Section 8;
(b) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b)
above;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings (including, without limitation, any proceeding before any Gaming
Authority) that Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection
of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party
with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens
permitted under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or
threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the
amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Secured Party in its
sole discretion, any such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations
of Grantor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand;
(f) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills,
bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other
documents relating to the Collateral; and
(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect
to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as
though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to
do, at Secured Party's option and Grantor's expense, at any time or from time to
time, all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security interest
therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as Grantor might do.
SECTION 15. Secured Party May Perform. If Grantor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or
cause performance of, such
XVI-16
agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by Grantor under Section 20.
SECTION 16. Standard of Care. The powers conferred on Secured
Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise
of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall
have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords
its own property.
SECTION 17. Remedies.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if Secured
Party elects, upon any Event of Default, to sell real property and any
of the Collateral together under any of the Mortgages and applicable
law, then the terms of such Mortgage shall, with respect to such sale
and Collateral, control and supersede any terms in this Agreement with
respect to such sale and Collateral; provided that Secured Party's
election to exercise remedies under such Mortgage shall have no effect
on the terms contained in this Agreement with respect to any Collateral
as to which Secured Party has not so elected.
(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured
party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction (or, in the case of Louisiana, the Louisiana
Commercial Laws - Secured Transactions (Louisiana Revised Statutes,
Title 10, Chapter 9)) (the "Code") (whether or not the Code applies to
the affected Collateral), and also may (a) require Grantor to, and
Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of
Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a
place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient
to both parties, (b) enter onto the property where any Collateral is
located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process,
(c) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair
or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for
disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems
appropriate, (d) take possession of Grantor's premises or place
custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and
use the same and any of Grantor's equipment for the purpose of
completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the
preceding clause (c) and collecting any Secured Obligation, and (e)
without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
of
XVI-17
Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon
such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable.
Secured Party or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as administrative agent
for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its
or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders
shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose
of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to
use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of
the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such
sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and
Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all
rights of redemption, stay and/or 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. Grantor agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to
Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured
Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned. Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral
may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which
might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party
accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to
more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition
of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations,
Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any
attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Further, as to all Collateral now or hereafter located in the
State of Louisiana, or as to which the laws of the State of Louisiana
may now be or hereafter become applicable, the Grantor hereby
acknowledges the Secured Obligations, whether now or existing or to
arise hereafter, and confesses judgment thereon if the Secured
Obligations are not paid at maturity, and does by these presents
consent, agree and stipulate that if any portion of the Secured
obligations is not promptly and fully paid when due, or if there should
occur an Event of Default, the Secured Obligations shall, at the option
of the Secured Party become immediately due and payable and it shall be
lawful for the Secured Party, without making a demand and without
notice or putting in default, the same being hereby expressly waived,
to cause all and singular the Collateral to be seized and sold by
executory process, without appraisement (appraisement being hereby
expressly waived), either in its entirety or in lots or parcels, as the
Secured Party may determine, to the highest bidder for cash, or on such
terms as plaintiff in such proceedings may direct.
XVI-18
Grantor hereby expressly waives: (a) the benefit of
appraisement, as provided in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724,
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws conferring the
same; (b) the demand and three (3) days delays accorded by Articles
2639 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (c) the notice of
seizure required by Articles 2293 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure; (d) the three (3) days delay provided by Articles 2331 and
2722, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; and (e) the benefit of the
other provisions of Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure, and the benefit of any other Articles or laws relating
to rights of appraisement, notice, or delay not specifically mentioned
above; and Grantor expressly agrees to the immediate seizure of the
Collateral in the event of suit herein. Further, Grantor acknowledges
that Secured Party shall have all rights to appointment of a keeper in
connection with any action to foreclose the lien hereof, all in
accordance with Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:5136 et seq. The
compensation of the keeper is hereby fixed at 1% of the amount due or
sued for or claimed or sought to be protected or enforced, and shall
constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations secured by the lien
hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if,
upon an Event of Default hereunder or under the Credit Agreement and
foreclosure upon any gaming permits pledged and assigned herein,
Secured Party is not qualified under the Gaming Laws to hold such
gaming permits, then Secured Party shall designate an appropriately
qualified third party to which an assignment of such gaming permits can
be made in compliance with the Gaming Laws.
SECTION 18. Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect
of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of
the Collateral may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party
as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in full
or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in the following
order of priority:
FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale,
collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to
Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is
entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured
Party hereunder for the account of Grantor, and to the payment of all
costs and expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with
the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, all in accordance with
Section 20;
SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for
the ratable benefit of the holders thereof) in such order as Secured
Party shall elect; and
XVI-19
THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Grantor, or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining
from such proceeds.
SECTION 19. Regulatory Matters. Grantor and Secured Party
acknowledge and agree that:
(a) The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the rights and
obligations created hereunder shall be subject to compliance with all applicable
Gaming Laws.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
required prior approvals under applicable Gaming Laws will be obtained in
connection with Secured Party's exercise of any of the rights set forth in
Section 15 or the remedies set forth in Section 17 upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default including, without limitation, any separate prior approvals
required in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral; and
(c) Grantor agrees to assist Secured Party in obtaining all
approvals of the Gaming Authorities or any other Governmental Authority that are
required by law for or in connection with any action or transaction contemplated
by this Agreement and, at Secured Party's reasonable request upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to prepare, sign and file
with the appropriate Gaming Authorities the transferor's portion of any
application or applications for consent to the transfer of control thereof
necessary or appropriate under applicable Gaming Laws for approval of any sale
or transfer of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise of Secured Party's
remedies under Section 17.
SECTION 20. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Grantor agrees to indemnify Secured Party and each Lender
from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating
to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of this
Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result
solely from Secured Party's or such Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Grantor shall pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of
any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (ii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or
(iii) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
XVI-20
SECTION 21. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans or
Letters of Credit. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the
indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments and the termination, cancellation or expiration
of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (b) be binding upon Grantor, its
successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(c), but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement,
any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it or
Administrative Agent may assign any Letters of Credit issued by it to any other
Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the
indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments and the termination, cancellation or expiration
of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor. Upon any
such termination Secured Party will, at Grantor's expense, execute and deliver
to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
SECTION 22. Secured Party as Administrative Agent.
(a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party
hereunder by Lenders. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right
hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.
(b) Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation
by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall
also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement;
removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit
Agreement shall also constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement;
and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5
of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured
Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring or removed Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring
or removed Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to
such successor Secured Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral
held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or
appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor
Secured Party under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such
successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such
other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
assignment to such successor Secured Party
XVI-21
of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or
removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative
Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of
this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
SECTION 23. Amendments; Etc. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such
amendment or modification, by Grantor. Any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given.
SECTION 24. Notices. Any notice or other communication herein
required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally
served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier
service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by
courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile or telex, or five Business Days
after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly
addressed. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as
set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof or, as to either
party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice delivered to the other party hereto.
SECTION 25. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies
Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of
any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or
privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 26. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 27. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any
substantive effect.
SECTION 28. Governing Law; Terms. 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 CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES, EXCEPT TO THE
XVI-22
EXTENT THAT THE CODE PROVIDES THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE
SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY
PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE
STATE OF NEVADA. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement,
terms used in Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of
Nevada are used herein as therein defined.
SECTION 29. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. ALL
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
IN THE STATE OF NEVADA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT GRANTOR
ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND
WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY
ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. Grantor hereby
agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may
be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to Grantor at
its addresses as provided in Section 24, such service being hereby acknowledged
by Grantor to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against
Grantor in any such court and to be otherwise effective and binding service in
every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Secured Party to bring
proceedings against Grantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 30. Waiver of Jury Trial. GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY
HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The scope of this
waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be
filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction,
including without limitation contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty
claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. Grantor and Secured Party
each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for Grantor and
Secured Party to enter into a business relationship, that Grantor and Secured
Party have already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and
that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings.
Grantor and Secured Party further warrant and represent that each has reviewed
this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily
waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS
WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN
WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this
Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
XVI-23
SECTION 31. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but
all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached
to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to
the same document.
