EX-4.3 2 0002.txt CREDIT AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 25, 2001 CREDIT AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN INTERLOTT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND FIFTH THIRD BANK DATED AS OF JANUARY 25, 2001
CREDIT AGREEMENT This Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of the 25th day of January, 2001, by and between INTERLOTT TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware Corporation, ("Borrower") and FIFTH THIRD BANK, an Ohio banking corporation, located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio 45263 ("Bank"). Section 1. Definitions. Certain capitalized terms have the meanings set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto or in the Security Agreement. All financial terms used in this Agreement but not defined on Exhibit 1 or in the Security Agreement have the meanings given to them by generally accepted accounting principles. All other undefined terms have the meanings given to them in the Ohio Uniform Commercial Code. Section 2. Loans. 2.1. Revolving Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Bank hereby extends to Borrower a line of credit facility (the "Facility") under which Bank will make loans (the "Revolving Loans") to Borrower at Borrower's request from time to time during the term of this Agreement in amounts not exceeding the lesser of (A) Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) less Letter of Credit Liabilities, or (B) the sum of (i) 85% of the net amount of Borrower's Eligible Accounts plus (ii) the lesser of (a) 50% of the net amount of Borrower's Eligible Inventory or (b) Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) plus (iii) 70% of the net amount of Borrower's Eligible Lease Payments less (iv) Letter of Credit Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may create and maintain reserves taken as reductions of Revolving Loan availability (the "Reserves") from time to time based on such credit and collateral considerations as Bank may commercially reasonably deem appropriate. Borrower may borrow, prepay (without penalty or charge), and reborrow under the Facility, provided that the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under the Facility will not exceed Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) less the Letter of Credit Liabilities. If the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time under the Facility exceeds the limits set forth above, Borrower will immediately pay the amount of such excess to Bank in cash, provided however if the excess results from the Bank taking Reserves which had not been previously taken or from Bank deeming previously Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory or Eligible Lease Payments to be no longer eligible, then Borrower will, within two (2) days of written notice from Bank, pay the amount of the excess to Bank in cash. In the event Borrower fails to pay such excess, Bank may, in its discretion, setoff such amount against Borrower's accounts at Bank. (b) Bank will make Revolving Loans by crediting the amount thereof to Borrower's Operating Account (as hereinafter defined) at the Bank. Revolving Loan proceeds will be used for the refinance of Borrowers existing credit facility with Firstar Bank, N.A., for general working capital purposes, 1 for Acquisitions, to pay off Indebtedness of Borrower permitted under Section 5.1 of this Agreement or to make dividends or redemptions permitted under Section 5.7 of this Agreement. (c) On the date hereof, Borrower will duly issue and deliver to Bank a Revolving Note in the form of Exhibit 2.1 as amended from time to time (the "Revolving Note"), in the principal amount of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) bearing interest as specified in this Agreement. (d) Borrower shall maintain Lock Box Account No. 2678 with Bank (the "Lock Box"). Borrower shall direct all Debtors to pay all amounts due to Borrower and the proceeds of all Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) to the Lock Box which amounts Borrower shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account No. 70498115 with Bank (the "Collection Account"). As long as the Revolving Loans shall be outstanding, the Collection Account shall be the property of Bank to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any proceeds of any Collateral are received by Borrower, the Borrower shall hold such proceeds in trust for Bank and not commingle them with such Borrower's other funds, and shall promptly deliver them to Bank. When proceeds of the Collateral are deposited into the Collection Account, they will be credited by Bank on the day which such funds have cleared and become collected funds (the "Hold Period"), against the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans. All such credits shall be conditional credits subject to collection. Any item not finally paid shall be charged to Borrower whether or not the item is returned. (e) Bank will apply funds in the Collection Account on a daily basis to the payment of the Revolving Loans automatically and without notice, request or demand by Borrower, in accordance with Bank's automatic sweep program. However, in no event will the principal amount of the Facility exceed the amount provided for in clause (a) of this Section. Bank reserves the right to reasonably change the provisions and mechanics of its automatic sweep program in a separate writing to Borrower and such change need not be reflected by an amendment to this Agreement in order to be effective. (f) Borrower shall maintain Operating Account No. 99945230 with Bank (the "Operating Account"). The Operating Account shall be maintained as a controlled disbursement account whereby Revolving Loans shall automatically be made by Bank in amounts necessary to make disbursements by Borrower provided, however such Revolving Loans shall not exceed the limits of the facility as set forth in Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement and such automatic Revolving Loans shall not be subject to a Pricing Option unless the notice hereinafter set forth is given by Borrower. Borrower must give Bank written or telephonic notice of its intention to borrow under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day of the proposed borrowing date for Revolving Loans that are subject to a Pricing Option. Bank is authorized to make Revolving Loans subject to a Pricing Option based on the telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an authorized representative of Borrower. Bank will make Revolving Loans by crediting the amount thereof to the Operating Account of Borrower at the Bank. 2 (g) The term of the Facility will expire on December 31, 2003 (the "Termination Date") and the Revolving Note will become payable in full on that date. 2.2 Interest on Revolving Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest as follows: (i) on amounts subject to a Pricing Option, at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin, each as in effect on the first day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period; and (ii) on amounts not subject to a Pricing Option, at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Prime Margin in effect on each date. (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may from time to time elect to have a Pricing Option apply to a portion of the principal amount outstanding on the Revolving Loans, as specified by Borrower, for a permissible LIBOR Interest Period specified by Borrower. Borrower shall make each such election by giving notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Bank in the manner and by the deadline specified in paragraph 2.1 hereof. (c) Borrower's right to elect a Pricing Option for any portion of outstanding Revolving Loans is subject to the following limitation: (i) the total number of Pricing Options outstanding at any one time under this Agreement shall not exceed four; (ii) Borrower may not elect a Pricing Option at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and the Event of Default is Continuing and has not been waived; (iii) no LIBOR Interest Period shall end later than the maturity date of the Revolving Note evidencing the borrowing of the relevant principal amount; (iv) the principal amount that can be subject to a Pricing Option is $500,000.00 or multiples of $100,000.00 above such amount or the entire outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans; and (v) once a Pricing Option has been selected for a portion of the Revolving Loans, no other Pricing Option may apply to such portion until the expiration of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to the first Pricing Option. (d) Interest on the principal amount subject to a Pricing Option is payable on the last day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period. Interest on the principal amount of the Revolving Loans not subject to a Pricing Option is payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month. In addition, all accrued interest is payable at maturity (whether by acceleration, notice of intention to prepay or otherwise). (e) Interest on the Revolving Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days involved. The interest rate applicable to amounts not subject to any Pricing Option shall change automatically upon each change in the Prime Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the Event of Default is Continuing, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the Borrower Default Rate; this provision does not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or an agreement by Bank or Banks to permit any late payments whatsoever. 3 (f) Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Revolving Loans in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without a prepayment penalty, provided that, at any time when a Pricing Option is in effect, no prepayment of such portion of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans as is subject to such Pricing Option shall be made except on the last day of the applicable Interest Period unless such prepayment shall include all fees and costs relating to such prepayment including but not limited to break funding fees. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall obligate Borrower to prepay the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. 2.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall the interest rate and other charges hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that a court determines that Bank has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the highest permissible rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the principal balance of the Loans and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there are no Obligations outstanding, Bank shall refund to Borrower such excess. 2.4 Termination of LIBOR Pricing Option. Borrower's right to elect a LIBOR Pricing Option shall be terminated automatically if Eurodollar deposits which have a maturity corresponding to the proposed LIBOR Interest Period, in an amount equal to the amount requested by Borrower to be subject to a LIBOR Pricing Option, are not readily available in the London Inter-Bank Eurocurrency Market, or that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such deposits for the proposed LIBOR Interest Period and Bank, by telephonic or telegraphic or other written notice, notifies Borrower of the same. 2.5 Illegality of Funding. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if at any time any change in any law, regulation or official directive, or in the interpretation thereof, by an governmental body charged with the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for Bank to fund or maintain its funding in Eurodollars of any portion of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans or otherwise to give effect to Bank's obligations as contemplated hereby, (i) Bank may by facsimile or other written notice thereof to Borrower declare Bank's obligations in respect of the LIBOR Pricing Option to be terminated forthwith, and (ii) all LIBOR Pricing Options then in effect shall forthwith cease to be in effect, and interest shall from and after such date be calculated at the interest rate applicable to amounts to which no Pricing Option applies; and (iii) Borrower's right to elect LIBOR Pricing Options is terminated until Bank notifies Borrower that Borrower's right to elect LIBOR Pricing Options is reinstated. 2.6 Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority 4 (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to Bank of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining the Facility subject to the LIBOR Pricing Option, then from time to time, upon written demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank for such increased cost if similar costs are actually charged by Bank to all other borrowers similarly situated. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost submitted to Borrower by Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (b) If compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank or any corporation controlling Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by the existence of such Bank's commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of such type or by the existence of outstanding Revolving Loans (or similar obligations), then, upon written demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank, from time to time as specified by Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of Bank's Revolving Loans or commitment to lend hereunder and if similar costs are actually charged by Bank to all other borrowers similarly situated. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to Borrower by Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) If, with respect to any LIBOR Pricing Option the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to Bank of making the Revolving Loans subject to the relevant LIBOR Pricing Option for such LIBOR Interest Period, Bank shall forthwith so notify Borrower in writing, whereupon Borrower's right to elect any LIBOR Pricing Option shall be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 2.7 Payments. Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Notes shall be made by Borrower to Bank at its office set forth in paragraph 8.8 hereof by 2:00 p.m., Cincinnati time, on the due date for such payment. The failure of Borrower to make any such payment by noon, Cincinnati time, shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after noon, Cincinnati time, on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Notes. If any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day the maturity thereof shall, except as otherwise provided in the definition of LIBOR Interest Period, be extended to the next Business Day, and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension. 2.8 Accounting. After the end of each calendar month, Bank will: (a) if Bank so elects, charge Borrower's account for any or all amounts due to Bank under this Agreement for interest, expenses and the like and notify Borrower of such charges; and 5 (b) render to Borrower a statement of Borrower's loan account with Bank hereunder, which statement shall be considered correct and to have been accepted by Borrower and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively binding upon Borrower unless Borrower notifies Bank in writing of any discrepancy within thirty (30) days from the mailing of such statement. 2.9 Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, litigation and other expense) incurred or paid by Bank in negotiating, documenting, administering and enforcing this Agreement and the Loan Documents and in establishing, maintaining, protecting, perfecting or enforcing any of Bank's rights or Borrower's Obligations, including, without limitation, any and all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Bank in defending Bank's title or right to the Collateral or in collecting or enforcing payment of the Collateral and all costs of filing financing, continuation or termination statements with respect to the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing the attorney fees with respect to the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents shall not exceed $11,500.00. 2.10 Fees. (a) Collateral Management Fee: So long as this Agreement is in effect, Borrower will pay to Bank a Collateral Management Fee at a rate of $1,000.00 a month which shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears for the previous calendar month. (b) Unused Facility Fee: So long as this Agreement is in effect, Borrower will pay to Bank an unused facility fee at an annual rate equal to .125% of that portion of the Facility that is not outstanding on each day(the "Unused Facility Fee"), which will be payable on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter in arrears for the previous calendar quarter with a final payment due on the termination of this Agreement. 2.11 Field Audit. Bank shall have the right to perform field audits of Borrower as requested by Bank and as long as no Event of Default exists and no Event of Default is Continuing such field audits shall be during normal business hours and upon three (3) days prior notice. Borrower shall fully cooperate with Bank in regards to such field audit and shall give Bank access to all books and records and Borrower's facilities for such field audit during normal business hours. Borrower shall pay Bank a field audit fee of $400.00 per diem payable within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the field audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing during said period in which no Event of Default exists and no Event of Default is Continuing, Bank shall endeavor to limit the field audits to not more than one field audit per calendar year and in said event of only one field audit per calendar year the field examination fee shall not exceed $1,200.00 per calendar year. 6 2.12 Letters of Credit. (a) Bank agrees on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until 90 days before the Termination Date (the "Letters of Credit"), subject to the conditions that (i) the aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit outstanding at any point in time does not exceed at any time the Standby and Commercial Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) the Available Amount for each such Letter of Credit plus the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans does not exceed maximum principal amounts of Revolving Loans permitted under Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the Termination Date. Subject to the limits referred to above, Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section (herein referred to as the "Letter of Credit Facility"), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this section. (b) The payment of Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement an irrevocable request by Borrower for Revolving Loans in the amount of such draw, bearing interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans to which no Pricing Option applies. However, if for any reason the conditions to the making of Revolving Loans are not satisfied on the date payment of such draft is made or Bank cannot make Revolving Loans for any other reason, the payment by Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall instead constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance ("Letter of Credit Advance"), in the amount of such draft. Letter of Credit Advances shall bear interest at the Borrower Default Rate until paid pursuant to this Agreement. (c) The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any application for a Letter of Credit (an "Application") and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Advance (collectively, the "Letter of Credit Related Documents") shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit Related Document under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Letter of Credit Related Documents; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Related Documents; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Letter of Credit Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 7 (v) payment by Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the term of such Letter of Credit, unless such noncompliance is evident on the face of the documents presented to Bank; (vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral; or (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or a guarantor. (d) If any Letter of Credit are outstanding on the Termination Date, Borrower shall deposit with Bank cash or other liquid collateral acceptable to Bank, in an amount at least equal to the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held by Bank pursuant to a cash collateral agreement acceptable to Bank in its reasonable discretion. (e) If Bank determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank or any corporation controlling Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by the existence of Bank's commitment to lend or issue Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or by the existence of outstanding Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit (or similar obligations), then, upon written demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank from time to time as specified by Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of Bank's Revolving Loans or commitment to lend hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to Borrower by Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (f) Borrower shall pay to Bank a letter of credit fee equal to the Bank's standard Letter of Credit fees (which are currently as set forth on Exhibit. 2.12 (f)) payable upon issuance of Letter of Credit(s) ("Letter of Credit Fee") with respect to the stated amount of each Letter of Credit. Borrower shall also be responsible for fees customarily charged by the Bank in connection with the issuance, drawings or transfers of a Letter of Credit. All computations of interest and fees shall be made by Bank; interest and all fees stated as an annual rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, and charged in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by Bank of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 8 Section 3. Representations And Warranties.

All defined terms contained herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Agreement. The principal balance outstanding hereunder, will bear interest from the date of the first advance until paid the interest rate as provided in the Agreement. On December 31, 2003, all outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable. Interest will be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed, and will be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month except for interest subject to a Pricing Option which shall be payable as set forth in the Agreement. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, this Note will bear interest (computed and adjusted in the same manner, and with the same effect, as interest hereon prior to maturity) payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, until paid, and whether before or after the entry of judgment hereon. The Prime Rate means the rate of interest per annum announced to be its Prime Rate from time to time by Bank at its principal office Cincinnati, Ohio whether or not Bank will at times lend to borrowers at lower rates of interest, or, if there is no such Prime Rate, then its base rate or such other rate as may be substituted by Bank for the Prime Rate. The principal amount of each loan made by Bank under this Note and the amount of each prepayment made by Borrower under this Note will be recorded by Bank on the schedule attached hereto or in the regularly maintained data processing records of Bank. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans set forth in such schedule or in such records will be presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on this Note. However, failure by Bank to 36 make any such entry will not limit or otherwise affect Borrower's obligations under this Note or the Agreement. All payments received by Bank under this Note will be applied first to payment of amounts advanced by Bank on behalf of Borrower or which may be due for insurance, taxes and attorneys' fees or other charges to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Agreement), then to accrued interest on this Note, then to principal which will be repaid in the inverse order of maturity. This Note is the Revolving Note referred to in the Agreement, and is entitled to the benefits, and is subject to the terms, of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings attributed thereto in the Agreement. The principal of this Note is prepayable in the amounts and under the circumstances, and its maturity is subject to acceleration upon the terms, set forth in the Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, if any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than one on which Bank is open for business (a "Business Day"), the maturity thereof will be extended to the next Business Day, and interest will be payable at the rate specified herein during such extension period. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and the Event of Default is Continuing, all amounts of principal outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default will bear interest at the Default Rate, in Bank's sole discretion, without notice to Borrower. This provision does not constitute a waiver of any Events of Default or an agreement by Bank to permit any late payments whatsoever. Any prepayments under this Note in advance of any amortized payments will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal amount of this Note in the inverse chronological order of maturity. In no event will the interest rate on this Note exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction will, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that a court determines that Bank has received interest and other charges under this Note in excess of the highest permissible rate applicable hereto, such excess will be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce the amounts due to Bank from Borrower under this Note, other than interest, and the provisions hereof will be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there are no such amounts outstanding, Bank will refund to Borrower such excess. Borrower and all endorsers, sureties, guarantors and other persons liable on this Note hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, performance and enforcement of this Note, and consent to one or more renewals or extensions of this Note.

To induce Bank to make the Loans, and as security for all Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns to Bank as collateral and grants to Bank a continuing first priority pledge and security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in the following property of Borrower (the "Collateral"), whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where it is located: (a) all Accounts; (b) all Inventory; (c) all Equipment; (d) all General Intangibles; (e) all proceeds and products of Collateral and all additions and accessions to, replacements of, insurance or condemnation proceeds of, and documents covering Collateral, all tort or other claims against third parties arising out of damage or destruction of Collateral, all property received wholly or partly in trade or exchange for Collateral, all fixtures, all leases of Collateral and all rents, revenues, issues, profits and proceeds arising from the sale, lease, license, encumbrance, collection, or any other temporary or permanent disposition, of the Collateral or any interest therein; and (f) all instruments, chattel paper, documents, securities, money, cash, letters of credit, warrants, dividends, distributions, contracts, agreements, contract rights or other property, owned by Borrower or in which Borrower has an interest, which now or hereafter are at any time in the possession or control of Bank or in transit by mail or carrier to or in the possession of any third party 40 acting on behalf of Bank, without regard to whether Bank received the same in pledge, for safekeeping, as agent for collection or transmission or otherwise or whether Bank had conditionally released the same, and the proceeds thereof, all rights to payment from all claims against Secured Party, and any deposit accounts of Borrower with Bank, including certificates of deposit, all demand, time, savings, passbook or other accounts. 2.2 Assignment of Lease Payments. As further security for the repayment of the Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns to Bank all of the rents, issues, profits or payments due or to come due under any real or personal property leases to which it is or may become a party as Lessor, including but not limited to any and all Leases of lottery equipment by any third party lessee (the "Leases"). Bank may demand, collect, and receive from any lessee all rents, issues, profits charges, or other amounts of whatever nature due or to come due under any such Lease, endorse the name of Borrower on any checks, notes, other instruments for the payment of money, deposit the same in bank accounts, and apply the proceeds in repayment of the Obligations, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Borrower shall execute such Assignment of Lease Proceeds or other documents reasonably requested by Bank necessary to cause the lessees on any of the Leases to direct payment to Bank. Borrower shall notify Bank of any new, additional or replacement Leases within five (5) business days of the execution thereof. Borrower shall not in any material respect, without prior written consent of Bank, amend, assign, modify, cancel or surrender any of the Leases provided however the foregoing does not prohibit Borrower from making immaterial amendments to Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall not be responsible for the performance of any obligation of Borrower under the Lease, which shall remain the sole obligation of Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, to the extent of any prohibition in a Lease applicable thereto, the assignment of the payments and/or rights under each Lease from Borrower to Bank shall not be effective as to each Debtor under a Lease until such time as the Assignment of Lease Proceeds shall be executed by such Debtor. 2.3 Representations in Schedule I. The representations and warranties in Schedule I attached hereto entitled the Specific Representation Schedule are true and correct. Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, Borrower will not change its name, transfer executive offices or maintain records with respect to Accounts at any location other than the present locations specified in that schedule. 2.4 Provisions Concerning Accounts. (a) Borrower represents and warrants that each Account reflected in Borrower's books and records and on each Collateral Report submitted to Bank is, or at the time it arises will be owned by Borrower free and clear of all Liens in favor of any third party other than Bank, will be a bona fide existing obligation created by the final sale and delivery goods or the completed performance of services by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business, will be for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in the supporting data covering such transaction, and will not be subject to any known deduction, offset, counterclaim, return privilege or other 41 condition, except as reflected on Borrower's books and records and on all Collateral Reports delivered to Bank. Borrower will not redate any invoices. Any allowances between Borrower and its customers will be in accordance with the usual customary practices of Borrower, as they exist at this time. (b) Any officer, employee or agent of Bank will have the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the name of Bank or its nominee (including Borrower), to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, or otherwise. After an Event of Default and the Event of Default is Continuing, Bank or its designee may at any time notify Debtors that Accounts have been assigned to Bank or of Bank's security interest therein, and after default by Borrower hereunder collect the same directly and charge all collection costs and expenses to Borrower's account. (c) If Borrower becomes aware that a Debtor disputes liability or makes any claim with respect to an Account in excess of $10,000 or that a receivership petition or petition under any chapter of the federal bankruptcy act is filed by or against a Debtor, or that a Debtor dissolves, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, becomes insolvent, fails or goes out of business, or that any other event occurs which adversely affects the value of any Account owed by a debtor, Borrower will immediately notify Bank of each such event where such event is material in nature. After an Event of Default and the Event of Default is Continuing, Borrower will not grant any discounts, credit or allowances to any Debtor and will not accept returns of merchandise without Bank's consent. After an Event of Default and the Event of Default is Continuing, Bank may settle disputes and claims directly with Debtors, and in such cases, Bank will credit Borrower's account with the net amounts collected from such disputed Accounts, after expenses of collection. (d) Borrower appoints Bank or Bank's designee as its attorney-in-fact to endorse Borrower's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's possession; to sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Accounts or Inventory, on drafts against Debtors, on schedules and assignments of Accounts or Inventory, on notices of assignment and other public records, on verifications of Accounts and on notices to Debtors; to notify post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower's mail to an address designated by Bank, to receive and open all mail addressed to Borrower and to retain all mail relating to Collateral and forward all other mail to Borrower; to send requests for verification of accounts to customers or Debtors, and to do all things necessary to carry out or enforce this Agreement. Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of Bank as attorney-in-fact. Bank as attorney-in-fact will not be liable for any acts or omissions, or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law except for bad faith. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully satisfied; provided that Bank will not exercise this power until after an Event of Default and the Event of Default is Continuing.

(d) Borrower will not permit any item of Equipment to become a fixture to real estate or accession to other property and the Equipment is now and will at all times remain and be personal property, except with the prior written consent of Bank.
