an Event of Default:
(a) Any material representation or warranty made by or on behalf of
the Debtor herein or in any report, certificate or other document furnished by
or on behalf of the Debtor pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to be false or
misleading in any material respect when made or at any time shall fail to be
true and correct in all material respects.
(b) The Debtor shall default in the due observance or performance of
any of its material obligations hereunder and such default shall continue for
thirty (30) days (unless a shorter or longer cure period is provided under the
terms of this Agreement) after written notice thereof has been sent to the
Debtor by Secured Party; provided, however, that if the nature of such default
(but specifically excluding defaults curable by the payment of money) is such
that it is not possible to cure such breach within thirty (30) days, such 30-day
period shall be extended for so long as the Debtor shall be using diligent
efforts to effect a cure thereof but no more than an additional sixty (60) days.
(c) A Material Breach (as defined in the Consulting Contract) or an
"Event of Default" (as defined in any other Transaction Document) shall occur.
6.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default
hereunder, the Debtor expressly covenants and agrees that Secured Party may, at
its option, in addition to other rights and remedies provided herein or
otherwise available to it, without notice to or demand upon Debtor (except as
otherwise required herein), exercise any one or more of the rights as set forth
as follows:
(a) declare all Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable,
whereupon all Secured Obligations shall become and be immediately due and
payable;
(b) if the Consulting Contract is terminated and either (i) the the
Gaming Facility has not opened for business to the general public, or (ii) the
Debtor does not or at any time fails to continue operations of Class II Gaming
and/or Class III Gaming at the Project's Gaming Facility or any material portion
of the Project Facilities, Secured Party may immediately take possession of any
of the Collateral wherever it may be found or require the Debtor to assemble the
Collateral or any part thereof and make it available at one or more places as
Secured Party may designate, and to deliver possession of the Collateral or any
part thereof to Secured Party, who shall have full right to enter upon any or
all of Debtor's places of business, premises and property to exercise Secured
Party's rights hereunder; and without notice (except as specified below), sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at one or more public
or private sales, at any of Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, at such time
or times, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
Page 9 of 15
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as shall be commercially
reasonable. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' written notice to Debtor
of the time and place of any public sale or of the date on or after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Any public
sale shall be held at such time or times during ordinary business hours and at
such place or places as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party
may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale, or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for sale or, with respect to a private sale, after which such sale may
take place, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which it was so adjourned or, with respect to a private sale, after
which such sale may take place. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold free from any claim or right on the part of Debtor, and the Debtor
hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by law, all rights of stay and/or
appraisal which Debtor now has or may at any time in the future have under any
rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Debtor also 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 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. The parties hereto agree that the notice provisions, method, manner
and terms of any sale, transfer or disposition of any Collateral in compliance
with the terms set forth herein or any other provision of this Security
Agreement are commercially reasonable;
(c) exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided for by the
Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code, applicable law or by other agreement,
specifically including, without limitation, the right to recover the attorneys'
fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement of this
Security Agreement or in connection with the Debtor's redemption of the
Collateral; provided however that if the Debtor is the prevailing party in any
action or proceeding seeking enforcement of this Agreement, then the Debtor
shall not be and Secured Party shall be responsible for such related costs and
expenses. Secured Party may exercise its rights under this Security Agreement
independently of any other collateral or guaranty that Debtor may have granted
or provided to Secured Party in order to secure payment and performance of the
Secured Obligations, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to
foreclose or levy upon any other collateral given by Debtor to secure any
Secured Obligation or to proceed against any guarantor before enforcing its
rights under this Security Agreement. The Debtor shall reimburse Secured Party
upon demand for, or Secured Party may apply any proceeds of Collateral to, the
reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees, transfer taxes and any
other charges) incurred by Secured Party in connection with any sale,
disposition, repair, replacement, alteration, addition, improvement or retention
of any Collateral hereunder; provided however that if the Debtor is the
prevailing party in any action or proceeding seeking enforcement of this
Agreement, then the Debtor shall not be and Secured Party shall be responsible
for such related costs and expenses;
(d) the powers conferred on the Secured Party by this Section 6.2 and
otherwise in this Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Party's interests
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and
Page 10 of 15
neither the Secured Party nor any of their officers, directors, trustees,
employees, representatives or agents shall, in the absence of willful misconduct
or gross negligence, be responsible to the Debtor for any act or failure to act
pursuant to this Section 6.2 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; and
(e) the Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under Section 9-207 of the Code
or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party
deals with similar property for their own account. Neither the Secured Party nor
any of their directors, officers, trustees, employees, representatives, 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
the Debtor or otherwise.

(b) Headings. The various headings in this Security Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation
of this Security Agreement or any provision hereof.
(c) Amendments. This Security Agreement or any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, or terminated only by a statement in writing signed by the
party against which such change, waiver or termination is sought to be enforced,
and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(d) No Waiver. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any power,
privilege or right under this Security Agreement or any related agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by Secured
Party of any power, privilege or right under this Security Agreement or any
related agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other power, privilege or right. The powers, privileges and rights in
this Security Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other
remedies provided by law. No waiver by Secured Party of any default hereunder
shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall any waiver operate as a waiver
of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.
(e) Binding Agreement. All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. Subject to the terms of the
Consulting Contract, Debtor shall not assign any of its interest under this
Security Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Any
purported assignment inconsistent with this provision shall, at the option of
Secured Party, be null and void.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with any other
agreement executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions thereof. Acceptance of or acquiescence in
a course of performance rendered under this Security Agreement shall not be
relevant to determine the meaning of this Security Agreement even though the
accepting or acquiescing party had knowledge of the nature of the performance
and opportunity for objection.
(g) Severability. If any provision or obligation of this Security
Agreement should be found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions and obligations or any other agreement executed in connection
herewith, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way
Page 12 of 15
be affected or impaired thereby and shall nonetheless remain in full force and
effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(h) Survival of Provisions. All representations, warranties and
covenants of Debtor contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Security Agreement, and shall terminate only upon the termination of this
Security Agreement pursuant to Subsection 7(k) hereof.
(i) Power of Attorney. The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured
Party its attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with
full authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor,
Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion (a)
to execute and file financing and continuation statements (and amendments
thereto and modifications thereof) on behalf and in the name of the Debtor with
respect to the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (b)
to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to exercise its rights under Section 5(p) hereunder, and
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to
take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement,
including, without limitation:
(i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Secured
Party pursuant hereto;
(ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue 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;
(iii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clauses (i) and
(ii) above;
(iv) to sell, convey or otherwise transfer any item of Collateral
to any purchaser thereof; and
(v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which 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.
(j) Counterparts. This Security Agreement and any amendments, waivers,
consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
facsimile, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement.
(k) Termination of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to
Section 3 hereof, this Security Agreement and the security interest hereunder
shall not terminate until full and final payment and performance of all
indebtedness and obligations secured hereunder. At such time, Secured Party
shall reassign and redeliver to Debtor all of the Collateral hereunder which has
not been sold, disposed of, retained or applied by Secured Party in accordance
with the terms hereof, and execute and deliver to Debtor such documents as
Debtor may reasonably request to
Page 13 of 15
evidence such termination. Such reassignment and redelivery shall be without
warranty by or recourse to Secured Party, and shall be at the expense of Debtor;
provided, however, that this Security Agreement (including all representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein) shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by Secured
Party in respect of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereunder is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Secured Party upon or in
connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of Debtor or any other person or upon or in connection with the
appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official
for, Debtor or any other person or any substantial part of its assets, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
(l) Sovereign Immunity Waiver; Arbitration; Submission to
Jurisdiction. This Agreement constitutes the security agreement referred to in
the Consulting Contract. As such and without limiting the scope of such
agreements, the provisions of Article 12 of the Consulting Contract apply to
this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference, including, without
limitation, the limited sovereign immunity waiver, limitations on recourse and
arbitration provisions contained therein and the Resolution of Limited Waiver.
This Agreement will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Oklahoma
without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties hereto may
not change the law governing this Agreement without express written consent of
the Debtor and Secured Party.
