9. Transfers and Other Liens. Subject to compliance with Gaming Laws, Grantor agrees that, except as specifically permitted under the Loan Documents, it will not (i) sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or contract to sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, or (iii) take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral which is inconsistent with the provisions or purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 10. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. As additional security for the Obligations, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor, and in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion to do any of the following acts or things: (a) to do all acts and things and to execute all documents necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and to preserve, maintain and protect the Pledged Collateral; (b) if Grantor fails to take any action within ten days after request, to do any and every act which Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement; (c) to prepare, sign, file and record, in Grantor’s name, any financing statement covering the Pledged Collateral; and (d) to endorse and transfer the Pledged Collateral upon foreclosure by Secured Party; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any liability or responsibility for any act (other than Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or omission taken with respect thereto. Grantor hereby agrees to repay immediately upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or expended by Secured Party in exercising any right or taking any action under this Agreement including, without limitation, those incurred or expended to comply with Gaming Laws, together with interest from the date which is two Business Days following such demand thereof at the Default Rate.
11. Administrative Agent May Perform Obligations. Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file financing statements, confirmations thereof and amendments thereto, with respect to Pledged Collateral (including financing statements containing a broader description of Pledged Collateral than the description set forth herein). If Grantor fails to perform any Obligation contained herein for ten days after demand, Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand upon Grantor, perform the same and take such other action as Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to protect the Pledged Collateral or Secured Party’s security interests therein, Administrative Agent being hereby authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any Lien which in the reasonable judgment of Secured Party appears to be prior or superior to Secured Party’s security interests, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. Grantor hereby agrees to repay immediately upon demand all sums so expended by Secured Party, together with interest from the date which is two Business Days following demand at the Default Rate. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be under any duty or obligation to (i) preserve, maintain or protect the Pledged Collateral or any of Grantor’s rights or interest therein, (ii) exercise any voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or (iii) make or give any notices of default, presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance or dishonor, protests, notices of protest or notice of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Pledged Collateral on behalf of Grantor or any other Person having any interest therein; and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party assumes and none shall be obligated to perform the obligations of Grantor, if any, with respect to the Pledged Collateral. 12. Reasonable Care. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall comply with the conditions, if any, imposed by any Gaming Board in connection with the approvals of the security interest granted hereunder by Grantor, including, without limitation, any conditions requiring Administrative Agent to permit representatives of the Gaming Board to inspect such securities and Certificates. Administrative Agent shall not surrender possession of any Pledged Collateral to any party other than Grantor without the prior approval of the applicable Gaming Board or as otherwise permitted by applicable Gaming Laws. 13.
