6. VIDEO LOTTERY TERMINALS AND CONVERSION KITS

 

a)

Future VLT Market in Texas. During the Term of this Agreement, the parties agree that if the State of Texas, through the Texas Lottery, legalizes the operation of Video Lottery Terminals (“VLTs”), Bally will make VLT’s exclusively available to Spectre under mutually agreed upon pricing consistent with normal and customary practices in other similar markets, and Spectre shall be Bally’s exclusive VLT distributor in Texas except that Bally shall have no obligation to supply Video Lottery Terminals to Spectre under a distribution agreement, if the State of Texas adopts the public VLT distribution and control model, wherein the Texas Lottery purchases or leases the system and devices directly from the manufacturer. In all other situations in the State of Texas, such as the private VLT distribution and control models, whereby a licensed operator is authorized to purchase VLT’s directly from a distributor, Spectre shall have the exclusive rights to purchase Conversion kits from Bally and convert its ERU’s to VLT’s and expand its business as Bally’s exclusive VLT distributor in Texas for all markets in Texas at which Spectre is conducting its redemption business, or would have naturally expanded its redemption business in Texas. Bally will retain the right to select a separate distributor for such other VLT customers in Texas, including but not limited to, race tracks that are not then-being serviced by Spectre. Any such agreement for Spectre’s distribution rights as described in this Section 6(a) shall be set forth in a separate agreement entered into between the parties and subject to all applicable laws and findings of suitability as may be required by the Texas Lottery.

 

 

b)

Future VLT Markets in States in the Territory other than Texas. During the Term of this Agreement, if Spectre conducts redemption activities in a state within the Territory and that state’s applicable state lottery authorizes VLTs, Spectre and Bally may enter into a mutually exclusive distribution agreement for VLTs in that particular state. Any other states within the Territory may be mutually agreed upon on a case-by-case basis as Spectre creates redemption opportunities in other states. Both parties acknowledge that if Bally currently has existing business in a state in which Spectre pursues redemption business that this will be a factor in determining whether Spectre is granted a distributorship, however in all states in which Spectre conducts redemption business, Spectre will be given primary but not exclusive consideration to become Bally’s distributor for the VLT market in that state. Any such agreement for Spectre’s distribution rights as described in this Section 6(b) shall be set forth in a separate agreement entered into between the parties and subject to all applicable laws.

 

c)

During the Term of this Agreement, Bally agrees that it will be supportive of Spectre efforts in any redemption market in the Territory to converting the market to the private VLT approach, and Bally will not lobby, or directly or indirectly participate in or support efforts for the consideration of a state to follow the public VLT model. However, this provision shall not limit Bally from supporting VLT legislation that may result in a public model but Bally cannot do so at the exclusion of the private model, and shall not require Bally to violate the terms and conditions of any other existing obligations of Bally.

 

d)

In the event a state in which Spectre is conducting redemption activities selects the public VLT model and Spectre’s business is materially impacted as a result, Bally will allow Spectre to purchase a Bally Conversion Kit and convert its redemption games within the state to Class III games for sale or use into other legal jurisdictions worldwide.

 

e)

Bally may, in the exercise of reasonable discretion, elect to supply Spectre with kits that Spectre may use to convert Redemption Games and Bally Cabinets into Class II or Class III games (as that term is defined in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, at 25 U.S.C. § 2703). If Bally elects to supply such kits, Spectre’s rights with respect thereto and other applicable terms, conditions and restrictions shall be as Bally and Spectre shall mutually agree in writing.

Spectre agrees that the Trademarks are and will remain the sole property of Bally, and agrees not to do anything inconsistent with that ownership or to contest ownership of the Trademarks.

(a) Bally Indemnity. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Bally will, and Spectre agrees to allow Bally to, defend, at its own expense, any claim, suit or proceeding brought against Spectre to the extent it is based upon a claim that the Enabling Technology and the Bally Cabinets infringe any patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret of any third party. Spectre agrees that it shall promptly notify Bally in writing of any such claim or action and give Bally full information and assistance in connection therewith. Bally will pay all damages, costs and expenses finally awarded from a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal lies to third parties against Spectre in such action or any settlement of such claims made by Bally. Bally shall have the exclusive right to settle or compromise any such claim or action, subject to Spectre’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Spectre itself settles or purports to settle any such claim or action, then, without limiting Bally’s other rights or remedies, Bally shall have no obligations whatsoever under this Section 14. If a Bally Product is, or in Bally's opinion might be, held to infringe as set forth above, Bally may, at its option, replace or modify such Bally Product so as to avoid infringement, in which event Spectre will cease all further use or distribution of the replaced version of the Bally Product, or procure the right for Spectre to continue to exploit the Bally Product as provided herein.

 

(b) Limitations. Bally will not have any liability for any claim of infringement arising as a result of use of the Bally Products in combination with any items not supplied by Bally, any modification of the Bally Products by Spectre or third parties if the Bally Products would not have been infringing but for such modifications, or the use of other than the most recent release of the Bally Products provided by Bally to Spectre, if such claim would have been avoided by the use of the most recent release.

 

 

(c) Entire Liability. The foregoing states the entire liability of Bally concerning infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Right, including without limitation any U.S. or other patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret.

 

(d) Spectre Indemnity. Spectre agrees to indemnify and hold Bally harmless from and against any claims, damages, expenses or costs arising as a result of the use of or otherwise in connection with the Bally Products or any distribution or other exploitation of the foregoing by Spectre or any of its subdistributors, dealers or other contractors or other exercise by any of the foregoing of any rights under this Agreement; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any claims, damages, expenses or costs based solely on or arising solely as a result claims of infringement that are subject to indemnification under Section 14(a).

 

(e) Insurance. Each party agrees that it will obtain and maintain during the Term at its own expense, general liability insurance (including coverage for product liability) from a recognized and qualified insurance company naming the other as additional insured in the amount of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence against any claims, suits, losses or damages, including attorneys' fees, arising out of any alleged defects in the Bally Cabinets or the manufacture, marketing, distribution, sale or use of the Bally Cabinets. Such policy shall be non-cancelable except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other party. As proof of such insurance, a fully paid certificate of insurance will be submitted to the other party for its prior written approval before any Bally Cabinet is distributed or sold, and at the latest within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

 

 

 

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions hereof that limit liability, disclaim warranties or exclude consequential damages or other damages or remedies are essential terms of this Agreement that are fundamental to the parties' understanding regarding allocation of risk. Accordingly, such provisions shall be severable and independent of any other provisions and shall be fully enforced regardless of any breach or other occurrence hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that all limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties and exclusions of consequential damages or other damages or remedies shall remain fully valid, effective and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, even under circumstances that cause any exclusive remedy under this Agreement to fail of its essential purpose.

 

 

16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

 

(a) Contingency. This Agreement is contingent on any necessary initial and continued approvals and licenses from any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Parties or the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party shall promptly apply to the appropriate regulatory authorities for any licenses and approvals necessary for that Party to perform under this Agreement, shall diligently pursue its applications and pay all associated costs and fees, and shall otherwise cooperate with any requests, inquiries, or investigations of any regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies in connection with Spectre, Bally or their affiliates, or this Agreement. If any material license or approval necessary for either Party to perform under this Agreement is denied, suspended, or revoked, this Agreement shall be void effective the date of the denial, suspension, or revocation for the portion of the Territory affected, provided, however, that if the denial, suspension, or revocation affects performance of the Agreement in part only, the Parties may by mutual agreement continue to perform under this Agreement to the extent it is unaffected by the denial, suspension, or revocation.

 

(b) Alliance Compliance Program. Spectre acknowledges that Alliance Gaming Corporation (Bally's parent company), as a company operating under privileged licenses in a highly regulated industry, maintains the "Alliance Compliance Program" as part of a compliance program to protect and preserve the name, reputation, integrity, and good will of Alliance Gaming Corporation (“Alliance”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates (including Bally) through a thorough review and determination of the integrity and fitness, both initially and thereafter, of any person or company that performs work for those companies or with which those companies are otherwise associated, and to monitor compliance with the requirements established by gaming regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions around the world. This Agreement and Bally's association with Spectre or Spectre's Customers are contingent on the continued approval under the Alliance Compliance Program and its compliance committee (the "Compliance Committee"). Spectre shall cooperate with Alliance and the Compliance Committee as requested by Alliance or the Committee and provide the Committee with such information as it may request. If Alliance, acting on the reasonable recommendation of the Compliance Committee, withdraws its approval of this Agreement or Spectre for reasons reasonably related to Spectre's suitability, then this Agreement shall be void and neither Party shall have any rights hereunder, with the exception of Spectre’s applicable termination rights set forth in Section 16(d) below. In addition, Spectre shall promptly provide Bally with all information reasonably requested by the Compliance Committee of Bally with respect to Spectre's (including Spectre's officers', directors' and controlling shareholders') financial condition, litigation, indictments, criminal proceedings, and the like, in which they are or may have been involved, if any, in order for the Compliance Committee to determine that no such information would disclose any fact which would jeopardize, in any manner, any gaming licenses or permits held by Bally or its affiliates with any gaming commission, board or similar regulatory agency. It shall be cause for early termination under Section 12(b) if Alliance Gaming Corporation or the Compliance Committee obtains from any source information with respect to Spectre or this Agreement that would, in the reasonable opinion of Alliance or the Committee or both, jeopardize the gaming licenses, permits, or status of Alliance or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (including Spectre), with any gaming commission, board, or similar regulatory or law enforcement authority, however Spectre’s rights on such termination shall be determined under Section 16(d), below. Alliance shall be a third party beneficiary of Spectre’s obligations under this Section 16.

 

(c) During the term of this Agreement, upon approval by the Compliance Committee, at its sole discretion, of Bally’s sale of Bally Cabinets and Licensed Themes to Spectre, the parties shall negotiate any required supplemental provisions to this Agreement to govern such transactions. Bally shall grant Spectre exclusive rights to purchase Bally Cabinets and Licensed Themes for the redemption markets described herein. The Compliance Committee shall have no obligation to grant such approval and any information provided to the Compliance Committee shall be provided by Spectre.

 

(d) On termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 16, Spectre shall have the right to the following:

 

(i) To the extent permitted by law, a continued license to the Enabling Technology for what would have been the then-remaining Term of this Agreement as of the date of termination, unless such termination is related to Spectre’s suitability, in which instance Spectre shall only retain the rights to the license for the Enabling Technology in ERU then-placed by Spectre in the Territory.

 

(ii) To the extent permitted by law, a continued right to purchase Bally Alpha *** from a third-party vendor approved by Bally for the then-remaining Term of this Agreement as of the date of termination, unless such termination is related to Spectre’s suitability, in which instance Spectre shall not be permitted to continue to purchase Bally Alpha ***.

 

 

Neither party shall hire, solicit or employ any person who, at the time or within one (1) year prior to such hiring, solicitation or employment, was employed or engaged by the other.

 

 

 

a. Independent Contractors. Spectre is an independent contractor under this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties hereto. Neither party shall have authority to enter into agreements of any kind on behalf of the other or otherwise to bind or obligate the other to any third party in any manner whatsoever.

 

b. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when (i) delivered by hand; (ii) delivered by facsimile or overnight delivery service; or (iii) delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows, until notice of another address and/or facsimile number shall have been received by the other Party.

PROMISSORY NOTE (“Note”)

$3,000,000.00

May 18, 2005

         

For valuable consideration, Spectre Gaming, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("Promisor") does hereby promise to pay to the order of Bally Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Promisee" or “Lender”) the principal sum of Three Million and No/100 ($3,000,000.00 U.S.) together with interest accruing thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12.00%) per annum starting on the date of this Note, with principal and interest payable as follows, for the purchase of certain technology rights from Promisee under the conditions of the Redemption Technology and Supply Agreement dated May __, 2005, (“Agreement”) entered into between Promisor and Promisee. This Note, together with any interest thereon, shall be payable upon demand (a) in the event of default under the Agreement between Promisor and Promisee or (b) in the Event of Default (as defined below) hereunder.

 

The principal sum of this Note, and any interest thereon, shall become due in full from Promisor to Promissee no later than the end of a two (2) year period beginning on the Effective Date of the Agreement (the “Term”). Promisor shall make four equal, consecutive semi-annual payments to Promisee during the Term of this Note, in the amount of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand and No/100 ($750,000.00 (U.S.)), plus any interest owing and accruing under this Note at the time of such payment, with the first payment of principal and interest due and owing six months after the Effective Date of the Agreement. Principal and interest are payable at the office of Promisee, at 6601 South Bermuda Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119, or at such place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing.

 

Should any event of default, as hereinafter de-fined, occur, the whole sum of principal and interest hereunder shall, after notice and ten days to cure, immediately become due at the option of the holder hereof. An event of default by Promisor (“Event of Default”) hereunder shall include, but not be limited to the following:

(a) an uncured default by Promisor under the Agreement;

(b) any representation or statement made or furnished to Promisee by Promisor made prior to the date hereof proves to have been false in any material respect when made or furnished;

(c) dissolution, insolvency, appointment of a receiver, or commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Promisor; or

(d) expiration (without immediate renewal) or revocation of any material licenses of Promisor.

(e) failure to pay any sums due Promisee as set forth under this Note when due and owing.

In the Event of Default under this Note, interest shall be payable on the whole of the sum outstanding at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the "Agreed Rate") for the duration of such Event of Default.

Promisor and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of this obligation do hereby severally waive presentment for payment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor, and nonpayment of this Note and expressly agree that the maturity of this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time, at the option of the holder hereof, without in any way affecting the liability of each. Promisor agrees that the holder hereof may release all or part of the security for the payment thereof or release any party liable for this obligation. Any such extension or release may be made without notice to any of the parties and without discharging their liability.

 

Promisor promises to pay all costs incurred in col-lec-tion and/or enforcement of this Note or any part thereof or oth-er-wise in connection herewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, and, in the event of court action, all costs and such additional sums and attorneys' fees as the court may adjudge reasonable.

 

If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Note, or any application thereof, should be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, all provisions, covenants and conditions of this Note and all ap-pli-ca-tions thereof not held invalid, void or unenforceable, shall continue in full force and effect and shall in no way be af-fected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

 

Promisor hereby waives notice of default, diligence, demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment and protest. The obligations of Promisor hereunder are joint and several.

 

This Note shall be construed according to Nevada law without regard to its choice of law rules. Promisor expressly consents to suit in the federal courts of Nevada for the sole purpose of resolving any claims or causes of action arising solely under this Note. If any action is taken by Promissee (whether by Court proceeding or otherwise) to enforce payment of this Note, Promisor promises to pay to Promissee any and all costs of such action, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein.

Each gaming system obtained hereunder with cashless capability (a “Licensed Cashless Gaming System”) is provided under a limited license to one or more of the following U.S. Patent Nos. 5,290,033; 5,265,874; 6,048,269; 5,429,361; 5,470,079; 6,729,957; 6,729,958 and 6,736,725. Any use of a Licensed Cashless Gaming System constitutes the acknowledgement of and agreement to the following “Limited License”:

 

i.

Licensed Cashless Gaming System License Rights. Licensed Cashless Gaming Systems are licensed solely for use to facilitate the cashless aspects of gaming machines that are separately licensed under these patents (“Licensed Gaming Machines”). The use of a Licensed Cashless Gaming System to facilitate cashless transactions by an unlicensed gaming machine is an unlicensed use.

 

ii.	Other License Limitations. Each Limited License is expressly limited to the original Licensed Cashless Gaming System (i.e., one serial number per license). A license may not be transferred from one gaming system to another. Any unauthorized transfer voids this license.

 

iii.

Transferred Cashless Gaming Machines. Any Cashless Gaming Machine (other than a Bally Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine or an IGT Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine) transferred to Spectre from an Affiliated Property must have a transfer authorization certificate issued by IGT before such Cashless Gaming Machine can be considered a Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine and connected to a Licensed Cashless Gaming System; without such transfer authorization certificate such Cashless Gaming Machines shall be deemed an unlicensed Cashless Gaming Machine. Any Cashless Gaming Machine (other than a Bally Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine or an IGT Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine) acquired by Spectre from a non-Affiliated Property shall be deemed an unlicensed Cashless Gaming Machine, even if such Cashless Gaming Machine was previously licensed because such license is not transferable between non-Affiliated Properties. For purposes of this Limited License, Affiliated Properties are properties with a common owner who has a majority interest in both properties.

 

b.

i.

Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine License Rights. Licensed Cashless Gaming Machines are licensed for use solely in connection with a cashless gaming system that is separately licensed under these patents (a “Licensed Cashless Gaming System”). The use of a Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine with an unlicensed gaming system that has cashless capability is an unlicensed use.

 

ii.	Other License Limitations. Each Limited License is expressly limited to the original Licensed Cashless Gaming Machine (i.e., one serial number per license). A license may not be transferred from one gaming machine to another. Any unauthorized transfer voids this license.
