Capitalized terms used herein are used with the meanings set forth for those terms in the Credit Agreement.

(a) IGT shall similarly also agree not to require such pledge or Lien;

(b) Within ten Business Days following the Initial Funding Date, (i) Borrower shall pledge all of the equity interests in the Australian Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent and to IGT pursuant to separate pledge agreements to be governed by New York law (i.e., agreements which are distinct from the Borrower Security Agreement, the Guarantor Security Agreements and the similar security agreements executed in favor of IGT), and (ii) the Australian Subsidiary shall grant a lien on all of its assets to secure the Obligations and the obligations under the IGT Subordinated Debt Documents pursuant to separate guarantor security agreements to be governed by New York law (i.e., agreements which are distinct from the Borrower Security Agreement, the Guarantor Security Agreements and the similar security agreements executed in favor of IGT); and

(c) The liens contemplated above shall be granted pursuant to agreements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and IGT, but will limit the obligations secured under both the agreements in favor of the Administrative Agent and in favor of IGT to US$10,000,000 in the aggregate (without allocation of such secured amount to the Obligations or the obligations under the IGT Subordinated Debt Documents or the guarantees thereof).

2. Other Foreign Collateral Arrangements. Borrower hereby agrees that, in addition to the actions required by Section 1 hereof, it shall, prior to September 30, 2008 (but not later than the date any similar Liens are granted to IGT), take the following actions in respect of each of its foreign Subsidiaries:

(a) Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its foreign Subsidiaries to, grant Liens on 100% of the equity securities of each foreign Subsidiary of Borrower (including without limitation the Australian Subsidiary) to secure the Obligations which Liens shall be enforceable and perfected under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of formation, provided that in respect of the equity securities of Progressive Gaming International (Netherlands) B.V. (the “Dutch Subsidiary”) only 65% of such stock shall be pledged;

(b) Cause each of its foreign subsidiaries (other than the Dutch Subsidiary) to grant liens on their respective assets to secure the Obligations; and
