| October 1, 2011 |
For good and valuable consideration, Galaxy Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“Maker”), hereby makes and delivers this Promissory Note and Security Agreement – US (this “Note”) in favor of Prime Table Games, LLC (“Holder”). The parties acknowledge that this Note and a companion promissory note of even date herewith and referenced as Promissory Note and Security Agreement – UK collectively represent Exhibit A of the Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (collectively the “Notes”). The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Principal Obligation and Interest. For value received, Maker promises to pay to Holder, in currently available funds of the United States, the principal sum of Twelve Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Dollars ($12,200,000 USD). Maker’s obligation under this Note shall accrue interest at the following rates per annum:
| Year | Annual Interest | |
| 2011 | 0% | |
| 2012 | 3% | |
| 2013 | 4% | |
| 2014 | 5% | |
| 2015 | 6% | |
| 2016 | 7% | |
| 2017 | 8% | |
| 2018 & Beyond | 9% |
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable, and actual days lapsed. In the event future monthly revenue received by Maker from the “Assets,” as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, is less than 90% of the Notes monthly payment due to Holder, then the Note payments may, at Maker’s option, be adjusted to the higher of $100,000 per month or 90% of the monthly revenue amount. If Maker engages this payment adjustment election, the Note shall not be deemed in default and the interest rate of the Note, as depicted in the table in this Section 1, shall increase 2% per annum for this duration of the Note or until the standard payment schedule resumes.
2. Payment Terms.
a. Monthly payments shall be due under the Note, commencing with $100,000 due on or before January 28, 2012. Subsequent payments shall each be due on the 28th day of each month and the payment amount shall increase to $130,000 per month beginning sixteen (16) months after the Closing Date, $160,000 per month beginning twenty-eight (28) months after the Closing Date, $190,000 per month beginning forty (40) months after the Closing Date, $220,000 beginning fifty-two (52) months after the Closing Date until fully paid. Additional principal payments on the Note may be made by Galaxy at any time without pre-payment penalty.

b. All payments shall be applied first to interest, then to principal and shall be credited to the Maker's account on the date that such payment is physically received by the Holder.
c. Maker shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal due under this Note at any time without penalty.
d. In the event of losses suffered, incurred or sustained by Maker under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement signed simultaneously herewith, Maker shall be entitled to deduct the amount of such losses from the total balance due and owing to Holder under the terms of this Note (the “Off-Set”). The Off-Set shall be subject to the following conditions and procedures: (i) the right to off-set may only be determined upon the maturity date of this Note, (ii) the amount of the Off-Set must be either (x) agreed upon by the parties, or (y) determined in final (including all available appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction hereunder, (iii) for purposes of this section, “losses” shall include only those direct, actual, reasonable and out-of-pocket costs incurred by Maker in good faith and paid to arms-length third parties as a result of such applicable violation under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and further, Maker shall, upon written request from Holder, provide copies of all documentary or other applicable information necessary to support the amount and validity of the foregoing direct expenses, and provided, further, direct expenses shall not include consequential, indirect or punitive expenses, and (iv) the amount of the Off-Set, as finally determined hereunder, shall be deducted from the final payment under this Note on the maturity date.
3. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt, complete, and timely satisfaction of all present and future indebtedness, liabilities, duties, and obligations of Maker to Holder evidenced by or arising under this Note, and including, without limitation, all principal and interest payable under this Note and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Maker in the collection or enforcement of the same (collectively, the “Obligations”), Maker hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Holder a continuing security interest and lien in all of Maker’s right, title and interest in and to the property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Maker and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence or acquired, including the proceeds of any disposition thereof, described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Collateral”). As applicable, the terms of this Note with respect to Maker’s granting of a security interest in the Collateral to Holder shall be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), with Maker as the debtor and Holder as the secured party.
4. Perfection. Upon the execution and delivery of this Note, Maker authorizes Holder to file such financing statements and other documents in such offices as shall be necessary or as Holder may reasonably deem necessary to perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Note, including any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals thereof. Maker agrees, upon Holder’s request, to take all such actions as shall be necessary or as Holder may reasonably request to perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Note, including any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals thereof.
