ARTICLE III
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
3.1           Representations and Warranties of the Sellers.  The Sellers severally and not jointly hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser that:
 
(a)           Organization and Authority.  Each Seller that is not a natural person is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except, in each case, where failure to be so organized and existing, qualified or to have such corporate power and authority would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect such Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
 
(b)           Capitalization; Ownership of Shares.  (i) Schedule 2.1 sets forth, with respect to each Seller, the number of Shares owned by such Seller opposite such Seller’s name.  The Shares listed across from such Seller’s name on Schedule 2.1 represent all of the shares of Common Stock held by such Seller and, based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of October 31, 2008 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, constituted 87.2% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date.  The Sellers own all the Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances and upon the closing, assuming the Purchaser does not have “notice of any adverse claim”, the Purchaser will be a “protected purchaser” with respect to the Shares, as such terms are defined in Article 8 of the UCC in effect in New York.
 
(ii)           As of the date of this Agreement, no Seller has or is bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of Common Stock or any other equity securities of the
 
 
4

 
Company or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of capital stock of the Company (including any rights plan or agreement).  As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Sellers, the Company does not have in effect a “poison pill” or rights agreement.
 
(c)           Authorization.
 
(i)           SMR has full legal right and capacity to execute and deliver the Agreement and to carry out his obligations hereunder, and each of NAI and Sumco has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and each of NAI and Sumco has the corporate power and authority to carry out their respective obligations hereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by each Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of each Seller and its stockholders, as the case may be.  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Sellers and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of each Seller party hereto enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).  No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the execution and delivery by the Sellers of this Agreement, the performance by them of their obligations hereunder or the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(ii)           Neither the execution and delivery by the Sellers of this Agreement nor the consummation by the Sellers of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the Sellers with any of the provisions hereof, will (A) with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the material properties or assets of the Sellers under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) with respect to NAI and Sumco, the articles of incorporation, charter or bylaws or other governing document of such Seller or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which any Seller is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any Seller or any of the properties or assets of any Seller may be subject, or (B) violate any law (including any fraudulent conveyance or similar law), statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, concession, grant, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to any Seller or any of their respective properties or assets.
 
(d)           Governmental Consents.  Other than the securities or blue sky laws of the various states, no material notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting periods, is necessary for the
 
5

 
consummation by the Sellers of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Participation Agreement.
 
(e)           Offering of Securities.  None of the Sellers or any person acting at their direction has taken any action which would subject the sale of any of the Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
 
(f)           Brokers and Finders.  Except for Citigroup Global Markets Inc., none of the Sellers or any of their respective officers or directors has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for any Seller, in connection with this Agreement or the Participation Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission to any broker, finder or investment banker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Participation Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Sellers or their Affiliates.

EXECUTION COPY
 
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated on November 28, 2008 by and between National Amusements, Inc. (“Grantor”) and Acquisition Holdings Subsidiary I LLC (“Participant”).

 
 
WHEREAS, reference is made to (i) the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 29, 2008 (as the same may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Secured Facility”), by and among Midway Home Entertainment Inc. (“Midway Home”) and Midway Amusement Games, LLC (“MAG”), as Borrowers, Midway Games Inc. (“Midway”, and together with Midway Home and MAG, collectively referred to herein as, the “Borrowers”), Midway Games West Inc., Midway Interactive Inc., Midway Sales Company, LLC, Midway Home Studios Inc., Surreal Software Inc., Midway Studios-Austin Inc. and Midway Studios-Los Angeles Inc., as U.S. Credit Parties, and Grantor, as Lender and (ii) the Unsecured Loan Agreement, dated as of February 29, 2008 (as the same may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Unsecured Facility”, and together with the Secured Facility, the “Credit Agreements”), between Midway, as Borrower, and Grantor, as Lender, copies of each of the Credit Agreements have been furnished to Participant.  Pursuant to each of the Credit Agreements, Grantor, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, agreed to make advances and loans (the “Loans”) to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers under such Credit Agreement from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding (i) $30,000,000 under the Secured Facility and (ii) $40,000,000 under the Unsecured Facility.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Secured Facility; and
 
WHEREAS, in connection with and as part of the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”);


NOW, THEREFORE, with respect to each Credit Agreement, Grantor hereby sells, grants, conveys and transfers to Participant, and Participant hereby purchases, acquires and receives from Grantor, an undivided interest and participation in (a) 100% of all of the Loans made by Grantor which are outstanding on the date hereof under each Credit Agreement and as set forth on Schedule I hereto, (b) 100% of the Loans made by Grantor after the date hereof pursuant to any of the Credit Agreements, (c) any and all of Grantor’s right, title, and interest in, to and under the Credit Agreements, (d) any and all guarantees, collateral, pledges and security interest of any kind for or in respect of the foregoing, (e) all claims (including “claims” as defined in Bankruptcy Code §101(5)), suits, causes of action, and any other right of Grantor, whether known or unknown, against the Borrowers, any obligor, any guarantor, or any of their respective affiliates, agents, representatives, contractors, advisors, or any other entity that in any way is based upon, arises out of or is related to any of the foregoing, including, to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims (including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, and claims under any law governing the purchase and sale of, or indentures for, securities), suits, causes of action, and any other right of Grantor against any attorney,

accountant, financial advisor, or other entity arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreements or the transactions related thereto or contemplated thereby, and (f) all distributions or proceeds related to the foregoing (“Distributions”) (clauses (a) through (f) above are hereinafter referred to as the “Participation”), on the following terms and conditions:

1.           Purchase of Participation.  (a)  In consideration of Grantor’s sale, grant, conveyance and transfer to Participant of the Participation, Participant covenants and agrees to pay to Grantor, on the date hereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Grantor, the Purchase Price (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement).  The Purchase Price shall be paid in United States dollars.  For the avoidance of doubt, Participant hereby purchases, assumes and shall be responsible for the obligations and liabilities of Grantor relating to the Participation resulting from facts, events or circumstances arising or occurring on or after the date hereof, other than in respect of the Unfunded Commitments (as hereinafter defined).  Participant shall not be responsible for any obligations or liabilities of Grantor that (i) result from facts, events or circumstances arising or occurring prior to the date hereof, (ii) result from Grantor’s breach of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under this Agreement or the Credit Agreements (except to the extent any such breach results from a breach by Participant of its obligations hereunder), (iii) result from Grantor’s bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct or (iv) are attributable to Grantor’s actions or obligations in any capacity other than as a Lender under the Credit Agreements.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Unfunded Commitments” shall mean any unused Commitment (as defined in the applicable Credit Agreement) under each of the Credit Agreements on the date hereof as set forth on Schedule 1.
 
(b)          Grantor shall, promptly upon receipt of notice of a proposed advance (a “Funding Advance”) under any Credit Agreement, notify Participant of the facility under which such proposed Funding Advance has been requested, the date and amount of such Funding Advance as well as the Interest Period (as defined in the applicable Credit Agreement) selected by the applicable Borrower and the interest rate basis and rate applicable to the Participation pursuant this Agreement.  Participant shall, on the date of such Funding Advance, pay to Grantor, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Grantor, cash in an amount equal to 100% of such Funding Advance in United States dollars; provided, however, that Participant shall have no obligation to pay any Funding Advance, except from funds on deposit in the Segregated Account or the Escrow Account (each as defined below).
 
(c)          Each of Grantor and Participant hereby agree to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to an escrow agreement, which shall be on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed, with an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be mutually agreed, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.  Grantor and Participant hereby agree that the escrow agreement shall provide that upon termination of any of the Credit Agreements (i) any amounts on deposit in the Escrow Account which relate to the Unfunded Commitments under such Credit Agreement shall be returned to Grantor and (ii) all other amounts on deposit in the Escrow Account relating to such Credit Agreement shall be returned to Participant.  From and after the date the Escrow Account has been established, all Distributions shall be deposited into the Escrow Account and such funds shall be applied to pay any Funding Advances required hereunder.  Grantor hereby agrees to deposit an amount equal to the aggregate Unfunded Commitments into the Escrow Account upon the establishment thereof.   
 

 
3
 
Prior to the date the Escrow Account is established, Grantor and Participant hereby agree that all Distributions shall be deposited into a segregated account (the “Segregated Account”) to be held by Grantor in trust for Participant and all such funds shall be applied to pay any Funding Advances required hereunder.
 
(d)          Grantor shall, promptly upon receipt of notice of the applicable Borrower’s selection of a new Interest Period (as defined in the applicable Credit Agreement) for any LIBOR Rate Loan (as defined in the applicable Credit Agreement), notify Participant of such Interest Period selected by the applicable Borrower(s) and of the interest rate basis and rate applicable to the Participation in such LIBOR Rate Loan.
 
(e)          If, for any reason, Participant fails to make timely payment to Grantor with respect to any Funding Advance under any Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 1(b) above, Grantor shall be entitled to (i) collect interest from Participant on the amount of such Funding Advance for the period from the date when payment was due until payment is made at the overnight rate for Federal funds transactions between member banks of the Federal Reserve System, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Federal Funds Rate”) for each day during that period, (ii) withhold or set-off any amounts received by Grantor, and to apply to such amounts to the payment of such Funding Advance and any related interest, (iii) withhold from Participant any right of consent provided to Participant pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement and (iv) bring an action or suit against Participant in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover such Funding Advance and any related interest.
 
(f)           Grantor hereby authorizes Participant to file UCC financing statements naming Grantor as seller reflecting the sale, conveyance and transfer effected by this Agreement.
 
2.           Payments.  (a)  Whenever Grantor receives a payment of principal, interest, commitment fee or premium (if any) or other payment, or whenever Grantor makes an application of funds, in connection with the Loans outstanding under a Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any Distribution), Grantor shall promptly pay such Distribution to Participant to an account designated by Participant, in United States dollars (or, if another currency was received or applied by Grantor in such other currency) and in the kind of funds so received or applied by Grantor, an amount equal to such payment or application.  If, for any reason, Grantor fails to pay such Distribution to Participant within two business days of receipt of such Distribution (the “Delayed Payment Date”), Grantor shall pay interest to Participant on such amount thereof for the period from the Delayed Payment Date until the date such Distribution is received by Participant at the Federal Funds Rate.
 
(b)          All computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed.  Any determination made by Grantor as to the allocation of payments received or amounts applied to the Participation in the Loans shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(c)          If, for any reason, Grantor makes any Distribution to Participant before receipt of the corresponding Distribution (it being understood that Grantor is under no obligation to do so), and Grantor does not receive the corresponding Distribution within five business days of its payment to Participant, Participant shall, at Grantor’s request, promptly return such
 

 
4
 
 
Distribution to Grantor (together with interest on that Distribution at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the making of that Distribution to Participant until its return to Grantor).
 
(d)          If, after Grantor has paid to Participant any Distribution received by Grantor, Distribution is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or must be paid over by Grantor to any other person or entity, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or otherwise, Participant shall, at Grantor’s request, promptly return such payment to Grantor (together with interest on that Distribution at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the making of that Distribution to Participant until its return to Grantor).
 
3.           Elevation.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreements, other than as permitted by an occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Credit Agreement) that is caused solely by the sale of Grantor’s equity interest in Midway pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the request of Participant, each of Grantor and Participant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable, cause Participant to become a Lender under the Credit Agreements with respect to the Loans (the “Elevation”).  In connection with the Elevation, Grantor and Participant shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit A-1 to each of the Credit Agreements. Upon the effective date of an Elevation, this Agreement shall be deemed to be an agreement for the outright assignment of the Loans from Grantor to Participant, and the terms and conditions hereof shall be construed accordingly.
 
4.           Responsibilities of Seller. Grantor shall exercise the same degree of care with respect to the administration of the Participation as it would exercise for the extension of credit in which it had not granted a participation interest; provided, that, Grantor will not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any Act (as defined in Section 8 below) or any action omitted to be taken by Grantor at the direction of Participant, except for as a result of Grantor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Grantor (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by Grantor and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by Grantor in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any of the Credit Agreements or any document relating thereto or for the financial condition of any of the Borrowers or any guarantor or for the value of any collateral; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of the Credit Agreements or any document relating thereto on the part of any of the Borrowers or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any of the Borrowers; (d) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any of the Credit Agreements or any document relating thereto or any collateral therefor; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any of the Credit Agreements or any such document or collateral by acting upon any notice, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by Grantor to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
 
5.           Representations and Warranties.   (a)  Grantor represents and warrants to Participant, and Participant represents and warrants to Grantor, as of the date hereof, that:

(iv)           all approvals, authorizations or other actions by, or filings with, any governmental authority necessary for the validity or enforceability of its obligations under this Agreement have been obtained.
