A.
Gaming Devices and Related Equipment and Supplies.
1.
IGT hereby sells and Buyer hereby purchases the gaming devices and
related equipment and supplies listed in Exhibit A (sometimes
hereinafter “equipment”) for the prices and under the
terms specified therein. Buyer promises to pay IGT said purchase
price, with interest on any unpaid principal balance from the date
of delivery of the equipment, until paid in full, at an annual
rate, determined on the basis of the “high Wall Street
Journal prime lending rate” as defined in the money rates
section of the Wall Street Journal (Prime Rate). Principal
and interest shall be payable by Buyer at IGT, 9295 Prototype
Drive, Reno, Nevada 89521, or such other place as IGT. may
designate. Payment shall be based on a 60-month amortization
payable in thirty-six (36) monthly installments of principal and
accrued interest with a balloon payment on the 37 th
month of
1
the
outstanding remaining principal and any accrued interest. The first
payment shall be due thirty (30) days from the date of Go-Live or
no later than 90 days from the date of delivery.
Within ten (10) days after each change in said
Prime Rate, IGT shall provide notice to Buyer advising Buyer of the
amount of the interest rate adjustment, the amount of the unpaid
principal balance, and the amount of the next monthly payment.
Buyer may prepay the outstanding principal balance at any time
without penalty.
2.
In addition to the payments referred to above, Buyer agrees that it
will pay IGT a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount past
due, per month, for any payment not received in full by IGT on its
due date.
3.
IGT shall retain title to and ownership of the equipment until the
entire contract balance has been paid in full and all covenants and
agreements herein have been performed. If for any reason, title is
ever deemed vested in Buyer before all payments are received in
full, and to protect IGT in that event, to the extent allowed by
law, Buyer hereby grants IGT a purchase money security interest and
IGT hereby retains a purchase money security interest in the
equipment. Buyer further agrees to provide information and execute
any and all documents necessary to file and perfect and keep
current that interest. For that purpose, this agreement is a
security agreement and Buyer hereby agrees that IGT’s
interest is the first lien against the equipment. Buyer also agrees
to inform any of its other creditors of said agreement, title, and
ownership of the equipment and this security agreement in the event
that any such creditor might consider the equipment as additional
security for any other loan or agreement.
The
Buyer agrees to promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be
necessary, or that the IGT may reasonably request, to perfect and
protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby or to enable IGT to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to any equipment (but any failure
to request or assure that the Buyer execute and deliver such
instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or
impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this
Agreement and the security interest, regardless of whether any such
item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a
similar context or on a prior occasion).
The
Buyer hereby authorizes IGT to file one or more financing
statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, and
amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the equipment
without the signature of the Buyer where permitted by law. A
photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing
statement covering the equipment or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. If a
signature is required by law, then the Buyer appoints IGT as the
Buyer’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing
statements.
4.
The equipment which is the subject of this agreement shall at all
times remain personal property and shall not be considered as
fixtures or trade fixtures, notwithstanding that any such personal
property may become attached to or permanently rest upon real
property.

5.
Buyer shall not make any alterations or improvements to the
equipment without the prior written consent of IGT, except for the
usual and customary slot monitoring or slot computer data
system. Except for slot monitoring or slot computer data
system, any such addition or improvement and any and all
replacement parts and accessories will immediately become the
property of IGT and subject to the terms of this agreement. Buyer
also agrees to take no action that would cause any liens or
encumbrances of any nature, including judgments and material
men’s or mechanic’s liens, to be attached to the
equipment. Buyer shall indemnify, save, and hold harmless IGT from
all liens or lien claims imposed upon such personal property
resulting from activities of Buyer and Buyer shall further
indemnify, save, and hold harmless IGT from all loss, cost, damage,
or expense arising out of such liens or claims imposed on the
