the Credit Documents or the Obligations or any bankniptcy or similar proceeding involving Borrower).
The obligations of Borrower under this Section 8.2 shall survive the payment and perforrnance of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Lender is authorized, at Borrower's expense, to
obtain a tax service contract with a third-party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Casino
Real Property and the Gaming Facilities satisfactory to Lender.
8.3 Indemnification, To the fullest extent permitted by Iaw, and in addition to any other
indemnity set forth in the Credit Documents, Borrower agrees to (a)protect, indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Lender and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents,
trustees and advisors (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damagas,penalties,judgments, costs, disbursements,claims or expenses of any kind or nature and
from any suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for reasonable attorneys' fees and other
expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or failure to act by
Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or relating to (a)the Credit Docuinents or any transaction
contemplated thereby or related thereto, including the malcing of any Loans, issuing of any Letters of
Credit, any use by Borrower of any proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, (b) any Environmental
Damages, (c) any elaims for brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the Credit Documents or
any transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with Borrower's failure to conchide any other
financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all reasonable legal and other expenses
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing,or(d) any and all excise, sales
or other similar taxes which inay be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the
Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Security Documents,
including any penalties, claims or other losses resulting froin any delay in paying such excise, sales or
other similar taxes; rovided,however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall obligate Borrower
to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnitee against any such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages,penalties,judgments, costs, disbursements, claims or expenses to the extent determined
by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen froin(i)the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indeinnitee or(ii) a material breach of any Credit Document by
such Indeinnitee. Upon receiving lcnowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that
Lender believes is covered by this indemnity,Lender shall give Borrower notice of the matter and Lender
may select its own counsel or request that Borrower defend such suit, claim or demand,with legal counsel
satisfactory to Lender, at Borrower's sole cost and expense and (b)reimburse each Indemnitee for all
reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such Indemnitee's investigation or defense of
any of the foregoing; provided, however, that Lender shall have the right to defend, at Borrower's sole
cost and expense, any such matter that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any
Goverrunental Authority having authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of Lender or Lender's business
or that of its Affiliates. Lender may also require Borrower to defend the matter. In the event an Indemnitee
(or any of its officers, directors or employees) appears as a witness in any action or proceeding brought
70
against Borrower in which an Indemnitee is not named as a defendant,Borrower agrees to reimburse such
Indemnitee for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel)in corulection with its appearing as a witness. Any faihire or delay of Lender to notify Borrower
of any such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 8.3,
except to the extent that Borrower is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. No
Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients
of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transinission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than
for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willfiil misconduct of such Indeinnitee
as detennined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.Borrower shall
not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that
would give rise to the right of any Indemnitee to claim indeinnification hereunder unless such settlement
(x)includes a fiill and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against
such Indemnitee, (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (z)involves only the payment of a monetary sum(and does
not restrict any future activity of such Indemnitee). Borrower agree that no Indemnitee shall have any
liability(whether direct or indirect,in contract or tort,or otherwise)to Borrower or its Affiliates or to their
respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final, non-
appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from(i) such Indemnitee's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee under the Credit Documents or(ii) a material
breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 8.3
shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the tennination of this Agreement, The
obligations of Borrower with respect to Enviromnental Damages are (1) separate and distinct from the
Obligations described within the Real Property Security Documents and the Liens and security interests
created in the Rea1 Property Security Documents, and (2)inay be enforced against Borrower without
regard to the existence of the Real Property Security Documents and independently of any action with
respect to the Real Property Security Documents.

of securities pledged hereunder, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as
Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Lender
shall have no duty to Barrower to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any
failure to do so or delay in so doing. Borrower authorizes Lender, on the terms set forth in this Section 7, to enter -
the premises where the Collateral is located, to talce possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay,
purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which, in the opinion of Lender, appears to
be prior or superior to i#s security interest. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to
the extent not prohibited by applicable law,upon any such private sale or sales,to purchase the whole or any part `
of said Collateral so sold,free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption Borrower hereby -

disclaim any warranties of title, which procedures shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial �
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Borrower further agrees, at Lender's request, to asseinble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select,whether at Borrower's
premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,

608(1)(a)(3)of the UCC(or any other then applicable provision of the UCC),need Lender account for the surplus,
if any, to Borrower. To the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims,
dainages, and demands against Lender arising out of the re�ossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except
such as are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise out of the '
gross negligence or willfiil misconduct of Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender need not give more than ten(10) ;
days' prior written notice(which notification shall be deemed given in accordance with the Credit Agreement) of
the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may talce place and that such notice '
is reasonable notification af such matters. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or disposition of the Callateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender and participants, if any, '

are entitled, and Borrower shall also be liable for attorneys' fees or costs of any attorneys employed by Lender to
collect such deficiency.
(b) As to any Collateral constituting certificated securities or uncertificated securities, if, at
any time when Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of such Collateral, such
Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (as so ainended the "Act"), Lender may, in its discretion (subject only to
applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such
circumstances as Lender may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this
Section 7(b), and shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the saine to be effected.Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in any such event Lender may, in its sole discretion, {i} in accordance with
applicable securities laws,proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the
purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach
and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii)restrict such sale to a purchaser who `
will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account,for investment, and not with a view
to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this
Section 7(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the �
Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then Lender shall not be required to effect such registration or
cause the same to be effec�ed but may, in its sole discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law),
require that any sale hereunder (including, without limitation, a sale at auction) be canducted subject to such {
restrictions as Lender may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in arder that such sale
(notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.
(c) In arder to permit Lender to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may
be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Security Agreement with respect to the Pledged Collateral and to receive _
all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive under this Security Agreeinent with
respect to the Pledged Collateral, (i)Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to Lender all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Lender may from time =
to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, Borrower hereby grants to =
Lender an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral held by Borrower and to exercise all
other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of such Pledged Collateral would be entitled
(including giving or witl�Iiolding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be,
calling special meetings of shareholders,partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings),
which proxy shall be effective automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of
such Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereo� by any other Person (including the issuer of
such Pledged Collater�l or any officer or agent thereo� during each period of time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged
Collateral pledged hereunder by Borrower to(i) comply with any instruction received by it from Lender in writing :
that(a) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the
terms of this Security Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Borrower, and Borrower agrees
that such issuer shall be fully protected in so coinplying, and (ii)unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, _
pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to Lender in compliance with
any such instructions.
(d) Borrawer agrees that in any sale of any of such Collateral, whether at a foreclosure sale or
otherwise, Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale
as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law(including, without

bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required
approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority, and Borrower further agrees that such
compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially -
reasonable manner,nor shall Lender be liable nor accountable to Borrower for any discount allowed by the reason
of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restrictian.
(e) Borrower also agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of Lender, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and costs,incur�ed in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and rernedies �

extent not prohibited by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. :
(g) Borrower agrees that a breach by Borrower of any covenants contained in this Section 7 -
will cause irreparable injury to Lender, that in such event Lender and would have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and,as a consequence, agrees that in such event each and every covenant contained in this
Section 7 shall be specifically enforceable against Borrower, and Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert �
any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured
Obligations are not then due and payable.
