Investment Related Property is located in a jurisdiction outside of the United
States, each Debtor shall take such additional actions, including, without

within the definitions of any Intellectual Property
acquired under such contracts;
(ix) it shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its
use of any of the Intellectual Property; and
22
(x) it shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all
amounts due or to become due to such Debtor in respect of
the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof. In
connection with such collections, each Debtor may take such
action as such Debtor may deem reasonably necessary or
advisable to enforce collection of such amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall have the
right at any time, to notify, or require any Debtor to
notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of
the existence of the security interest created hereby.
4.6 COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIMS.
(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Debtor hereby represents and
warrants, on the Issue Date, that Schedule 4.6 sets forth all Commercial Tort
Claims of each Debtor; and
(b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Debtor hereby covenants and agrees
that with respect to any Commercial Tort Claim hereafter arising it shall
deliver to Secured Party a completed Pledge Supplement, substantially in the
form of Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all Supplements to Schedules
thereto, identifying such new Commercial Tort Claims.
5. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL DEBTORS.
5.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES.
(a) Each Debtor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such
Debtor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable in
order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of 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 any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Debtor shall:
(i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements,
or amendments thereto, and execute and deliver such other
agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney
or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interests granted or
purported to be granted hereby;
(ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of
appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest
granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property with any
intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual

registration is pending including, without limitation, the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State,
and the foreign counterparts on any of the foregoing;
23
(iii) at any reasonable time, upon request by Secured Party,
exhibit the Collateral to and allow inspection of the

Secured Party; and
(iv) appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may

interest in all or any part of the Collateral.
(b) Each Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file a Record or
Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements,
and amendments thereto, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as are
necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Secured Party
herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner
as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral
that describes such property in any other manner as is necessary, advisable or
prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral
granted to Secured Party herein. Each Debtor shall furnish to Secured Party from
time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the
Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral, all in
reasonable detail.
(c) Each Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to modify this
Agreement after obtaining such Debtor's approval of or signature to such
modification by amending Schedule 4.5 (as such schedule may be amended or
supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or
interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property
acquired or developed by any Debtor after the execution hereof or to delete any
reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which
any Debtor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.
5.2 ADDITIONAL DEBTORS. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof,
additional Guarantors may become Additional Debtors pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture, by executing a Pledge Joinder substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B. Upon delivery of any such counterpart agreement to Secured
Party, notice of which is hereby waived by Debtors, (a) each Additional Debtor
shall be a Debtor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Debtor
were an original signatory hereto and (b) the supplemental schedules thereto
shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement the respective
schedules to this Agreement; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and
be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security
Agreement Supplement. Each Debtor expressly agrees that its obligations arising
hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Debtor hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any
Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Debtor hereunder. This Agreement
shall be fully effective as to any Debtor that is or becomes a party hereto
regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to
be a Debtor hereunder.
6. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
6.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured
Party (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Debtor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Debtor and
in the name of such Debtor, Secured Party or the Credit Facility Secured Party,
from time to time in its discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that it may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent
then in effect), including, without limitation, the following:
24
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Debtor
pursuant to the Indenture;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, 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) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above, subject in all
respects to the rights of any lender under the Credit Facility to receive,
endorse and collect the same;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
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 prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such
Debtor as debtor;
(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual
property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest
granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Debtor as
assignor;
(g) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or
comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the
Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same, any such payments made by Secured Party to become
obligations of such Debtor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without
demand; and
(h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default and subject to the provisions of the UCC, 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 such
Debtor's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things
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 such Debtor might do.
6.2 NO DUTY ON THE PART OF SECURED PARTY. The powers conferred on Secured
Party hereunder are solely to protect the interests of Secured Party in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such
powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of
its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Debtor
for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
25
7. REMEDIES.
7.1 GENERALLY.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
subject to applicable Gaming Laws, 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 at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of
Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the
affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then
owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the
following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Debtor to, and each Debtor hereby agrees that
it shall at its expense and promptly 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;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and
take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) 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;
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC,
sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or
nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral
or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any of 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; and
(v) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, apply
the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank
at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the
balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of
Secured Party.
(b) Secured Party may be a purchaser of any or all of the Collateral
at any public or private (to the extent permitted by applicable law, including
any applicable Gaming Law) sale in accordance with the UCC and Secured Party, as
Secured Party for and representative of the Holders, 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 sale made in accordance
with the UCC, 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 any Debtor, and each
Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of
26
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.
Each Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least ten (10) days notice to such Debtor 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. Each Debtor agrees that it
would not be commercially unreasonable for Secured Party to dispose of the
Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the
auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.
Each Debtor 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, each Debtor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any
attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Debtor
further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section
will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against such Debtor, and such Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to
assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured
Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing
in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of Secured Party hereunder.
(c) Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any
warranties as to the Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim or
modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be
considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.
(d) If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, the
Secured Obligations will be credited only with payments actually made by the
purchaser and received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the
purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured
Party may resell the Collateral, subject to applicable Gaming Laws.
(e) Secured Party shall have no obligation to xxxxxxxx any of the
Collateral.
(f) All amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments)
received by any Debtor in respect of amounts due to such Debtor in respect of
the Collateral or any portion thereof following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Debtor and
shall be forthwith paid over or delivered (subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement to the extent then in effect) 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 7.5 following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Upon demand from Secured Party, Debtors
shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount
or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit
or discount thereon.
27
7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this
Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale, any
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
shall be 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 the applicable Debtor, 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 or under the Indenture, all in accordance with the
terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds,
to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the
Holders; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment
to or upon the order of such Debtor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
7.3 INVESTMENT RELATED PROPERTY. Each Debtor recognizes that, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all
or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior
registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the
Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those
who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property
for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof and to comply with applicable Gaming Laws. Each Debtor
acknowledges that any such sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable
than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including a
public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities
Act) and each Debtor agrees that any such sale shall not be deemed to have not
been made in a commercially reasonable manner by reason of such circumstances
and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period
of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of
public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so
register it. If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or
all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Debtor shall
and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each
partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to
Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to
determine the number and nature of interests, shares or other instruments
included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by Secured Party
in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to
time in effect.
7.4 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to
the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent then in effect:
(i) Secured Party shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or
proceeding in the name of any Debtor, Secured Party or
otherwise, in Secured Party's sole discretion, to enforce
any Intellectual Property which
28
is material to any Debtor's business, in which event such
Debtor shall, at the request of Secured Party, do any and
all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required
by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement and such Debtor
shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify
Secured Party as provided in Section 10 hereof in
connection with the exercise of its rights under this
Section, and, to the extent that Secured Party shall elect
not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property
which is material to any Debtor's business as provided in
this Section, each Debtor agrees to use all reasonable
measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise,
to prevent the infringement of any such Intellectual
Property by others and for that purpose agrees to
diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against
any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent
such infringement;
(ii) upon written demand from Secured Party, each Debtor shall
grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to Secured
Party all of such Debtor's right, title and interest in and
to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver
to Secured Party such documents as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this
Agreement;
(iii) each Debtor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording
shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations
outstanding only to the extent that Secured Party receives
cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other
realization upon, the Intellectual Property; and
(iv) Secured Party shall have the right to notify, or require
each Debtor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts
due or to become due to such Debtor in respect of the
Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security
interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make
payment of all such amounts directly to Secured Party, and,
upon such notification and at the expense of such Debtor,
to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the
same manner and to the same extent as such Debtor might
have done.
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of
cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing,
(ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an
assignment or other transfer to Secured Party of any rights, title and interests
in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall
have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not
have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Debtor,
Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver to such Debtor, at such
Debtor's sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be
necessary to reassign to such Debtor any such rights, title and interests as may
have been assigned to Secured Party as aforesaid, subject to any disposition
thereof that may have been made by Secured Party; provided, after giving effect
to such reassignment, Secured Party's security interest granted pursuant hereto,
as well as all
29
other rights and remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall continue to
be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and
interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any Liens granted by or on
behalf of Secured Party.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise
rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as Secured Party shall
be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Debtor hereby
grants to Secured Party, to the extent it has the right to do so, an
irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Debtor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to
sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Debtor to
avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under,
license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired
by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located.
7.5 CASH PROCEEDS. In addition to the rights of Secured Party specified in
Section 4.3 with respect to payments of Receivables, Cash Proceeds shall be held
by such Debtor in trust for Secured Party, segregated from other funds of such
Debtor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Debtor, unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 4.4, be turned over to Secured Party in the exact
form received by such Debtor (duly indorsed by such Debtor to Secured Party, if
required). Any Cash Proceeds received by Secured Party (whether from a Debtor or
otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
shall be held by Secured Party for the ratable benefit of the Holders, as
collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured)
and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in
the sole discretion of Secured Party, (A) be held by Secured Party for the
ratable benefit of the Holders, as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time
thereafter may be applied by Secured Party against the Secured Obligations then
due and owing.
7.6 REGULATORY MATTERS. Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) In the event that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Secured Party exercises any of the voting and consensual
rights afforded under this Agreement, or one or more of the remedies set forth
in Section 7 of this Agreement, including but not limited to (i) re-registration
of the Pledged Equity Interests in respect of a Gaming Subsidiary or (ii)
foreclosure, transfer or other enforcement of security interests in the Pledged
Equity Interests, pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws, such exercise of remedies
shall require the separate and prior approval of the applicable Gaming
Authorities and/or licensing of Secured Party (unless such licensing requirement
is waived by such Gaming Authorities upon application of Secured Party) pursuant
to applicable Gaming Laws.
(b) The approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities of this
Agreement shall not act or be construed as the approval, either express or
implied, for Secured Party to take any actions or steps provided for in this
Agreement for which prior approval of such Gaming Authority is required, without
first obtaining such prior and separate approval of the Gaming Authorities to
the extent then required by applicable law.
(c) To the extent Secured Party takes possession of the certificates
or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Equity Interests of Xxxxxx
Nevada Gaming, LLC, Secured Party shall be required to maintain such Pledged
Equity Interests within the State of Nevada at all times at a location
designated to the Nevada Board, and shall make such certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing such Pledged Equity Interests available for
30
inspection by agents or employees of the Nevada Board immediately upon request
during normal business hours.
8. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTES.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, be binding upon each Debtor, its successors and
assigns (except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indenture), and 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, but subject to the terms of the Indenture, any
Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any Note held by it to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to Holders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate
hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral granted hereunder shall
revert to Debtors. Upon any such termination Secured Party shall, at Debtors'
expense and upon documents provided by it, execute and deliver to Debtors such
documents as Debtors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
9. STANDARD OF CARE; SECURED PARTY MAY PERFORM.
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. Neither Secured Party nor any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of any Debtor or otherwise. If any Debtor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured
Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Debtor under
Section 11.2 hereof.
10. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.
(a) Each Debtor agrees:
(i) to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel),
indemnify, pay and hold harmless each Indemnitee, from and
against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) 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 from such Indemnitee's
own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally and
31
unappeallably determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction; and
(ii) to pay to Secured Party promptly following written 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 in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Indenture.
(b) The obligations of each Debtor in this Section 10 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of such Debtor's other
obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1 NOTICES. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or
other communication herein required or permitted to be given to a Debtor or
Secured Party, shall be sent to such Person's address as set forth in the
Indenture. Each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally
served 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 and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile or
three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage
prepaid and properly addressed; provided, no notice to Secured Party shall be
effective until received by Secured Party.
11.2 EXPENSES. Debtors agree to pay promptly all the costs and expenses of
preparation of the Collateral Agreements and any consents, amendments, waivers
or other modifications thereto; all the costs of furnishing all opinions by
counsel for Debtors; the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel
to Secured Party (in each case including allocated costs of internal counsel) in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of
the Collateral Agreements and any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Debtors;
all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in
favor of Secured Party, for the benefit of Holders pursuant hereto, including
filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes,
search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel to Secured Party and of counsel providing any opinions
in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral
Agreements; all the actual costs and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements
of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers; all the actual costs
and reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or
retained by Secured Party and its counsel) in connection with the custody or
preservation of any of the Collateral; and after the occurrence of a Default or
an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement,
incurred by Secured Party in enforcing any Secured Obligations of or in
collecting any payments due from any Debtor hereunder or under the other
Indenture Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in
connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of
the Collateral) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the
credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a "work-out" or pursuant
to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.
32
11.3 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.
(a) Secured Party's Consent. Subject to Section 11.3(b) and 11.3(c)
and the terms of the Indenture, no amendment, modification, termination or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any
Debtor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written
concurrence of Secured Party.
(b) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Debtor
therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision herein as the
same applies to Secured Party without the consent of Secured Party except as
provided in accordance with the Indenture.
(c) Waiver. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice
to or demand on any Debtor in any case shall entitle any Debtor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
11.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns including all persons
who become bound as debtor to this Agreement. No Debtor shall, except as
permitted under the Indenture, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.
11.5 INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not
avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
