Exhibit 99.1

MGM Resorts International to Name Kirk Kerkorian as Director Emeritus

Long-time Director and Legendary Businessman to Transition into Advisory Role for Board and Management

LAS VEGAS, April 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The Board of Directors of MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) today announced that it had voted unanimously to recognize Kirk Kerkorian, the legendary businessman and philanthropist, with the distinction of Director Emeritus.

As Director Emeritus, Mr. Kerkorian will serve as a senior advisor to both MGM Resorts management and the Board, and will have a standing invitation to attend any meeting of the Board or its executive committee. He will not, however, retain voting rights on Board matters.

“Kirk’s contributions to the growth and development of MGM Resorts are far too many to detail,” said MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO James J. Murren. “Of even greater impact, however, have been the contributions of his time, talent and treasure to so many throughout the Las Vegas community, across the United States and around the world,” Mr. Murren said.

“Throughout the years, I have relied on Kirk far beyond his role as our largest shareholder,” said Mr. Murren. “He has always been available to discuss any detail or issue, and I look forward to continuing to receive the benefit of his counsel for many years to come.”

Mr. Kerkorian will serve out his current term as a board member, due to expire at the company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders this June, at which time he will transition to his status as Director Emeritus. Upon his formal appointment, he will become the first Director Emeritus in the company’s history.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of my life has been my association with MGM Resorts and its predecessor companies,” said Mr. Kerkorian. “I am deeply indebted to the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have worked for our companies through these many years. Their hard work and dedication to success created the extraordinary opportunity to share our success with others. It has been a privilege to work with them all, and I look forward to continuing to regularly consult with Jim and the Board of this wonderful company.”

BACKGROUND NOTES

Corporate History

Mr. Kerkorian first visited Las Vegas in 1945 as a Cessna pilot. His first venture in the gaming business was with a stake in the Dunes Hotel in 1955. In the 1960s, he was actively buying land in Las Vegas for development.

By 1969, his International Leisure company was opening what was then the largest hotel in the world: the International Hotel. From its opening night, the $55 million International Hotel set a new bar for entertainment: Barbra Streisand was the resort’s first headliner, the rock musical ‘Hair’ was in another showroom and the opening lounge act was Ike and Tina Turner. Elvis Presley followed Streisand in the main showroom and changed the face of Las Vegas.

In 1973, Mr. Kerkorian’s company opened the original MGM Grand Hotel (now Bally’s), which was the largest hotel in the world at that time. The new $107 million megaresort was named for a 1932 MGM film, “Grand


Hotel,” and featured 2,084 rooms, a 1,200-seat showroom and amenities like a shopping arcade, movie theater and jai alai fronton.

Following the 1986 sale of the original MGM Grand hotels in Las Vegas and Reno to Bally’s, Mr. Kerkorian led the development of the present day MGM Grand Hotel. At 5,000 rooms, it was the largest hotel in the world when it opened in 1993. To celebrate the opening, Barbra Streisand gave an unprecedented concert in the 17,000 seat MGM Grand Garden arena.

In 2000, Mr. Kerkorian led the first of two significant transactions, the acquisition of Mirage Resorts. The second occurred just four years later when that company, MGM MIRAGE, merged with Mandalay Resort Group.

The 2009 opening of CityCenter would mark the fourth time that Mr. Kerkorian would be involved in the opening of a record-setting hotel complex. The $8.5 billion resort, residential and retail complex was not only the largest private investment ever made in U.S. history, but it would also be recognized as the largest sustainable project ever built.

MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is one of the world’s leading global hospitality companies, operating a peerless portfolio of destination resort brands, including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage. The Company has significant holdings in gaming, hospitality and entertainment, owns and operates 15 properties located in Nevada, Mississippi and Michigan, and has 50% investments in four other properties in Nevada, Illinois and Macau. One of those investments is CityCenter, an unprecedented urban resort destination on the Las Vegas Strip featuring its centerpiece ARIA Resort & Casino. Leveraging MGM Resorts’ unmatched amenities, the M life loyalty program delivers one-of-a-kind experiences, insider privileges and personalized rewards for guests at the Company’s renowned properties nationwide. Through its hospitality management subsidiary, the Company holds a growing number of development and management agreements for casino and non-casino resort projects around the world. MGM Resorts International supports responsible gaming and has implemented the American Gaming Association’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Gaming at its gaming properties. The Company has been honored with numerous awards and recognitions for its industry-leading Diversity Initiative, its community philanthropy programs and the Company’s commitment to sustainable development and operations.

Attention: Dan Taylor

 

  Re: $25,000,000 Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. is pleased to make available to TRACINDA CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), a $25,000,000 revolving credit facility on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated (“MLPFS”) is designated as the sole Lead Arranger and sole and exclusive Book Manager for the credit facilities contemplated by this letter. This agreement (the “Agreement”) evidences an amendment and restatement of that certain letter agreement dated April 15, 2008, as amended, between the parties hereto. Terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit A hereto.

 

1. The Facility.

 

  (a) The Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower until the Expiration Date a revolving credit facility providing for loans (“Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $25,000,000 (the “Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Loan, the Effective Amount of all Loans shall not at any time exceed the least of (i) the Commitment in effect at such time (ii) the then applicable Borrowing Base, and (iii) the maximum amount permissible pursuant to the applicable Margin Regulations. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Loans until the Expiration Date.

 

  (b)

Loans. The Borrower may request a Base Rate Loan by notice to the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day of the requested Loan. The Borrower may request a Eurodollar Rate Loan by delivering a notice to the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) at least three Business Days prior to the requested Loan, specifying the Interest Period therefor. Notices pursuant to this Paragraph 1(b) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing and shall specify whether any portion of the proceeds thereof will be

used to acquire Margin Stock. Each Loan shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof in excess thereof.

 

  (c) Interest. At the option of the Borrower, Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.50%; or (ii) the Base Rate plus 0.25%. Interest on Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Lender’s “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days and actual days elapsed. All other interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

The Borrower promises to pay interest (i) for each Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and if the Interest Period is longer than three months, on the three month anniversary of the commencement of such Interest Period; (ii) for Base Rate Loans, on the 10th Business Day of each calendar quarter; and (iii) for all Loans, on the Expiration Date. If the time for any payment is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest shall continue to accrue for such extended period.

After the date any principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether on the Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary obligation hereunder shall have become due and payable (in each case without regard to any applicable grace periods), the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.25%. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be payable on demand. In no case shall interest hereunder exceed the amount that the Lender may charge or collect under applicable law.

 

  (d) Evidence of Loans. The Loans and all payments thereon shall be evidenced by the Lender’s loan accounts and records; provided, however, that upon the request of the Lender, the Loans may be evidenced by a promissory note. Such loan accounts, records and promissory note shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans and payments thereon. Any failure to record any Loan or payment thereon or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

 

  (e) Commitment Fee. The Borrower promises to pay a commitment fee, at the rate of 0.50% per annum, on the actual daily unused portion of the Commitment, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and upon the Expiration Date, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

 

  (f) Repayments. The Borrower promises to pay all Loans then outstanding on the Expiration Date.


TRACINDA CORPORATION

  (g) Prepayments; Commitment Reductions; Collateral Requirements.

 

  (i) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and upon same-day notice in the case of Base Rate Loans (in each case prior to 1:00 p.m, California time), prepay Loans on any Business Day in a minimum amount of at least $5,000,000 and in $1,000,000 increments thereafter.

 

  (ii) Loans in Excess of Borrowing Base. If, on any date, the Effective Amount of all Loans exceeds:

 

  (A) the maximum amount permitted under the applicable Margin Regulations; or

 

  (B) the then applicable Borrowing Base;

then within three Business Days after such date the Borrower shall either:

 

  (i) prepay the Loans; or

 

  (ii) grant a first priority security interest to the Lender in, and provide to the Lender custody of, Collateral (including the appropriate form of custody agreement for uncertificated securities, if applicable);

in each case in an amount which results in the Effective Amount of all Loans being not greater than the amount permitted by the Margin Regulations or the Borrowing Base.

Where additional Collateral is provided, the Borrower shall provide the required Collateral in the following order until the deficiency in Collateral is remedied:

 

  (A) first, the Borrower will provide all of its Cash Equivalents to the extent in excess of $1,000,000;

 

  (B) second, the Borrower will provide all of its Non-Control Stock; and

 

  (C) third, the Borrower will provide Control Stock.

 

  (iii) Mandatory Commitment Reduction Upon Disability of Kirk Kerkorian. Upon the occurrence of a Kerkorian Event:

 

  (A) the Commitment shall automatically and immediately be reduced to the then outstanding amount of the Loans; and


TRACINDA CORPORATION

April 15, 2011

Page 4

 

  (B) no portion of the Loans which are thereafter prepaid or repaid may be reborrowed.

 

  (iv) Compliance with Margin Regulations. If the Lender determines in good faith that for any reason the Effective Amount of Loans needs to be reduced in order to comply with the applicable Margin Regulations, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the amount specified by the Lender in order to so comply with the applicable Margin Regulations.

 

  (v) Collateral Documents. The Borrower shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, in respect of any Collateral which is required to be delivered in pledge hereunder, or as to which the Lender at any time has any security interest (i) one or more duly executed Collateral Documents (or amendments to existing Collateral Documents) in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender relating to any type of Collateral being hypothecated in order to obtain a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral and/or (ii) if an equity security is being pledged, a correctly completed questionnaire, together with any additional information, if and as reasonably requested by the Lender from time to time in order to determine the applicability of Rule 144, the Margin Regulations or any other rule or regulation governing the issuance, transfer or hypothecation of such securities.

 

  (vi) Compensation for Prepayments. If any prepayment is made hereunder, the Borrower shall at the time of prepayment compensate the Lender for any loss, cost, or expense that the Lender incurs as a result of such prepayment. Prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans must be accompanied by a payment of interest on the amount so prepaid. In addition, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for any loss, cost or expense that the Lender incurs as a result of a demand for payment of the indebtedness hereunder or the automatic acceleration thereof as provided herein.

 

  (vii) Dispositions After Disability of Kirk Kerkorian or During Restricted Period. Upon the disposition by the borrower of any Core Investments or other Collateral (i) after the occurrence of a Kerkorian Event or (ii) during a Restricted Period, the Borrower shall repay outstanding Loans (and the Commitment shall be reduced) in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such disposition.

 

  (viii) Voluntary Commitment Reductions. The Borrower may, upon five Business Days’ notice, reduce or cancel the undrawn portion of the Commitment, provided, that the amount of such reduction is not less than $1,000,000.


TRACINDA CORPORATION

  (h) Payments. Each payment hereunder by Borrower shall be made to the office of Lender from time to time notified by Lender to Borrower in immediately available funds (or, as directed by Borrower, by Lender debiting Borrower’s deposit account with Lender), not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day). All payments received after 1:00 p.m. (California time) on any particular Business Day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.

All payments by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder shall be made to the Lender in full without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and exempt from, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof. The Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for any taxes imposed on or withheld from such payments (other than taxes imposed on the Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on the Lender, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof).

 

  (i) Reserves. In the event that the Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), then the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, upon 15 days’ written request for compensation under this provision, additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by the Lender, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, but only with respect to the 90-day period immediately preceding the making of each such request. The Lender agrees to give prompt notice to the Borrower should said compensation no longer be requested or required. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the basis for determining any additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender will be supported by a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for and the amount of such cost and will be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent error.

 

2. Conditions Precedent to Loans.

 

  (a) Conditions Precedent to Closing. As a condition precedent to the obligations of the Lender to make the initial Loan hereunder, the Lender must receive the items set forth under Conditions to Initial Borrowing in Exhibit C hereto, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

paid, would be undistributed personal holding company income (as defined in Section 545 of the Code).

a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against the Lender for breach in bad faith of the Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Paragraph 7(h) shall survive the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. All amounts due under this Paragraph 7(h) shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 

  (i) If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

  (j) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and each counterpart, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

The Borrower hereby consents and agrees that the Issuers of, or obligors on, the Pledged Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any of the Pledged Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right of the Lender to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by the Borrower or any other Person to such Issuers or such obligors or to any such registrar or transfer agent or trustee.

6. Voting Rights; Dividends; etc. So long as no Event of Default under the Letter Agreement occurs and remains continuing:

6.1 Voting Rights. The Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Letter Agreement, or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not exercise, or shall refrain from exercising, any such right if it would result in a Default or an Event of Default.

6.2 Dividend and Distribution Rights. The Borrower shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use only those dividends or distributions paid to the Borrower with respect to the Pledged Collateral as permitted under the terms of the Letter Agreement; provided, however, that any and all such dividends or distributions received in the form of capital stock shall be, and the Certificates representing such capital stock forthwith shall be delivered to the Lender to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Borrower, be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, be segregated from the other property of the Borrower, and forthwith be delivered to the Lender as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

7. Rights During Event of Default. When an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

7.1 Voting, Dividend, and Distribution Rights. At the option of the Lender, all rights of the Borrower to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 above, and to receive the dividends and distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.2 above, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Lender who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and to hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and distributions. The Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) neither the giving of such notice nor the receipt thereof by the Borrower shall be a condition to exercise of any rights of the Lender hereunder, and (ii) the Lender shall incur no liability for failing to give such notice.

7.2 Dividends and Distributions Held in Trust. All dividends and other distributions which are received by the Borrower contrary to the provisions of the Letter Agreement or this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be


segregated from other funds of the Borrower, and forthwith shall be paid over to the Lender as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

7.3 Irrevocable Proxy. The Borrower hereby revokes all previous proxies with regard to the Pledged Collateral and appoints the Lender as its proxyholder to attend and vote at any and all meetings of the shareholders of the corporations which issued the Pledged Collateral, and any adjournments thereof, held on or after the date of the giving of this proxy and prior to the termination of this proxy and to execute any and all written consents of shareholders of such corporations executed on or after the date of the giving of this proxy and prior to the termination of this proxy, with the same effect as if the Borrower had personally attended the meetings or had personally voted its shares or had personally signed the written consents; provided, however, that the proxyholder shall have rights hereunder only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Letter Agreement, and that the Lender shall have instructed the proxyholder to exercise voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any of them. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to substitute another Person as the proxyholder and, upon the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, hereby authorizes and directs the proxyholder to file this proxy and the substitution instrument with the secretary of the appropriate corporation. This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as all Obligations have been paid and performed in full and the Commitment has been terminated in full.

8. Transfers and Other Liens. The Borrower agrees that, except as specifically permitted under the Loan Documents, it will not (i) sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or contract to sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral (provided that Borrower shall be entitled to direct the investment and reinvestment of any securities or other funds contained in the Account (but may not withdraw such securities or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any distributions or dividends payable in respect of such securities or other such funds from the Account)), (ii) create or permit to exist any lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for liens in favor of the Lender, or (iii) take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral which is inconsistent with the provisions or purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

9. Lender May Perform Obligations: If the Borrower fails to perform any Obligation contained herein, the Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand upon the Borrower, perform the same and take such other action as the Lender may deem necessary or desirable to protect the Pledged Collateral or the Lender’s security interests therein, the Lender being hereby authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any lien which in the reasonable judgment of the Lender appears to be prior or superior to the Lender’s security interests, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expense, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Borrower hereby agrees to repay immediately upon demand all sums so expended by the Lender, together with interest from the date of expenditure at the rates provided for in the Letter Agreement. The Lender shall not be under any duty or obligation to (i) preserve, maintain or protect the Pledged Collateral or any of the Borrower’s rights or interest therein, (ii) exercise any voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, or (iii) make or give


any notices of default, presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance or dishonor, protests, notices of protest or notice of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Pledged Collateral on behalf of the Borrower or any other Person having any interest therein; and the Lender does not assume and shall not be obligated to perform the obligations of the Borrower, if any, with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

10. Reasonable Care. The Lender shall in all events (and without restriction on the limitations on liability of the Lender contained herein) be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the Lender accords its own property, it being understood that the Lender shall not have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

11. Events of Default and Remedies.

11.1 Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Letter Agreement, the Borrower shall be in default hereunder and the Lender shall have in any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that the Lender may have under this Agreement and under applicable law or in equity, all rights and remedies of a Lender under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any such jurisdiction, and in addition the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without further notice to the Borrower:

(a) to notify any Issuer of or obligors on any Pledged Collateral, that the same has been pledged to the Lender and that all dividends and other payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to the Lender; to renew, extend, modify, amend, accelerate, accept partial payments on, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits with respect to, release, settle, compromise, compound, collect or otherwise liquidate, on terms acceptable to the Lender, in whole or in part, the Pledged Collateral and any amounts owing thereon or any guaranty or security therefor; to enter into any other agreement relating to or affecting the Pledged Collateral; and to give all consents, waivers and ratifications with respect to the Pledged Collateral and exercise all other rights (including voting rights), powers and remedies and otherwise act with respect thereto as if the Lender were the owner thereof;

(b) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all of the Pledged Collateral and take or bring, in the Lender’s name or in the name of the Borrower, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by the Lender necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Pledged Collateral;

(c) in accordance with applicable law, to take possession of and operate or control the Pledged Collateral with or without judicial process;


(d) to endorse, in the name of the Borrower, all checks, notes, drafts, money orders, instruments and other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral;

(e) to transfer any or all of the Pledged Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee or nominees; and

(f) in accordance with applicable law, to foreclose the liens and security interests created under this Agreement or under any other agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process, and to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or securities exchange, in lots or in bulk, for cash, on credit or on future delivery, or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties, and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to the Lender; all at the sole option of and in the sole discretion of the Lender.

11.2 Appointment of a Receiver. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court (and the Borrower hereby expressly consents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to the appointment of such a receiver), and without regard to the adequacy of an security for the Obligations, to take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise the proxy granted to the Lender under Section 7.3. Taking possession of the Pledged Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

11.3 Notice of Sale. The Lender shall give the Borrower at least five (5) days’ written notice of sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral shall be held at such time or times and at such place or places as the Lender may determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion. The Lender may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of Obligations) for and purchase for the account of the Lender or any nominee of the Lender the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Collateral may have been given. The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn the sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

11.4 Public Sales.

(a) In the event the Lender is permitted to sell any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 11.1, upon the written request of the Lender, the Borrower:


(i) unless in the opinion of counsel for the Lender such registration is not required, will use its best efforts to cause to become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and as from time to time in effect and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act”), a registration statement or statements relating to any or all of the Pledged Collateral and will use its best efforts to keep effective each such registration and cause to be filed such post-effective amendment or amendments to each such registration statement (including any amended or supplemented prospectuses required by the Securities Act) as may be appropriate to permit the sale or other disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement at such time and on such terms as the Lender may determine;

(ii) will use best efforts to cause to be furnished to the Lender, such number of copies as the Lender may reasonably request of each preliminary prospectus and prospectus, will promptly notify the Lender of the happening of any event as a result of which any then effective prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of then existing circumstances and will use best efforts to cause the Lender to be furnished with such number of copies as the Lender may reasonably request of each such supplement to or amendment of such prospectus as is necessary to eliminate such untrue statement or supply such omission;

(iii) will use best efforts to cause each Issuer to and will itself to the extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender from and against all losses, liabilities, expenses or claims (including legal expenses and the reasonable costs of investigation) which the Lender may incur, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, expenses or claims arise out of or are based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement (or any amendment thereto) or in any preliminary prospectus or prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arise out of or are based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except to the extent that any such losses, liabilities, expenses or claims arise solely out of or are based upon any such alleged untrue statement made or such alleged omission to state a material fact with respect to information furnished by the Lender and included in any such document on the written authority of the Lender;

(iv) will use its best efforts to have qualified, filed or registered any of the Pledged Collateral under the “Blue Sky” or other securities laws of such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Lender and will use best efforts to cause to be kept effective all such qualifications, filings and registrations;


(v) will, if the offering pursuant to any registration statement is, at the written request of the Lender, to be made through underwriters, itself, if requested by such underwriters, enter, and use best efforts to cause the Issuer to enter, into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters and to indemnify such underwriters, its officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act to the same extent as hereinbefore provided with respect to the indemnification of the Lender;

(vi) will provide (if available) at its expense, provided such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, a policy or policies of insurance, from such insurer or insurers satisfactory to the Lender, in substance indemnifying and holding harmless to the extent of 100% of the contemplated aggregate public offering price of the Pledged Collateral, the Lender, each underwriter who may be participating in such sale, and each other person referred to as being insured under such policy or policies, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the assured may become subject under the Securities Act, or any other statute or common law, arising out of or based on the ground that any preliminary prospectus, prospectus or registration statement relating to such sale includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(vii) will use best efforts to take or cause to be taken all requisite action in connection with any declaration of, registration with, or approval of any other governmental official or authority (in addition to that provided for above) before such Pledged Collateral may be transferred or sold by the Lender;

(viii) will use best efforts to cause the Lender to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to clauses (i), (iv) or (vii) above and as to the completion thereof;

(ix) will do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Lender to consummate any proposed sale or other disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement; and

(x) will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations hereunder. The Borrower agrees that promptly upon the written request of the Lender it will use its best efforts to cause to be withdrawn from registration or, if the registration statement has been declared effective, to be deregistered, any of the Pledged Collateral the Lender requests be withdrawn or deregistered.


(b) The Borrower agrees that the Lender shall have the right, at any time when in the Lender’s sole and exclusive judgment exercised in good faith, the Lender is, or might be deemed to be, a controlling person of the Issuer (i) to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and to require the insertion therein of material which in its judgment, as aforesaid, should be included; (ii) at the Borrower’s expense, to retain counsel and/or independent public accountants to assist it in such participation; and (iii) at the Borrower’s expense, to receive an opinion or opinions of counsel and a letter or letters from independent public accountants, addressed to the Lender, to the same effect as any such opinion and letter delivered to the Borrower, the Issuer or any underwriter in connection with such registration and sale. If any such registration statement refers to the Lender by name or otherwise, then, the Lender shall have the right to require (A) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to it, to the effect that its relationship to the Borrower or the Issuer is not to be construed as a recommendation by the Lender of the investment quality of the Issuer’s securities covered thereby and does not imply that it will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Borrower or the Issuer, or (B) in the event that such reference to it by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to it.

(c) The Borrower agrees that it will give the Lender prompt written notification of (i) the filing of any registration statement pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act (a “1934 Act Registration Statement”) relating to any class of equity securities of any Issuer, and (ii) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and the number of shares of such class of equity securities outstanding at the time such Registration Statement becomes effective, in order that the Lender may be in a position to file any required statements under the 1934 Act or the Securities Act. The Borrower further agrees that it will (A) at its expense, upon the Lender’s written request, use best efforts to cause the Issuer to file a 1934 Act Registration Statement relating to any class of equity securities of the Issuer then held by the Lender; (B) use best efforts to cause the Issuer to file all reports required by Section 13 of the 1934 Act within the time periods specified therein or any extension thereof granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 12b-25 or any other comparable rule under the 1934 Act; and (C) use best efforts to cause the Issuer to furnish to the Lender any information which the Lender may reasonably required for the purpose of completing Form 144, or any other comparable form, in connection with any proposed sale by the Lender pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as then in effect, or any other comparable rule, of any of the Pledged Collateral.

(d) In the event that any action required to be taken by the Borrower under Subsection 11.4(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii), or under Subsection 11.4(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) or under Subsection 11.4(c) involves the incurring of costs and expenses by any Issuer, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower shall not be required to take such action unless it shall have available to it funds in amounts sufficient to reimburse the Issuer for such costs and expenses to be incurred by the Issuer. Funds shall be deemed available to the Borrower for the


foregoing purposes if the Lender is willing to advance funds to the Borrower for such purposes on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Loans provided under the Letter Agreement; provided, however, the provisions of this paragraph shall not in any way constitute a commitment on the part of the Lender to provide such funds.

11.5 Private Sales.

(a) Whether or not any of the Pledged Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable laws, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable in any manner which complies with applicable law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion:

(i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purposes of registering such Pledged Collateral or such part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act;

(ii) may approach and negotiate with a restricted number of potential purchasers to effect such sale; and

(iii) may restrict such sale to purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention including, without limitation, to purchasers each of whom will represent and agree to the satisfaction of the Lender that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, it being understood that the Lender may require the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby agrees upon the written request of the Lender, to cause: (A) a legend or legends to be placed on the certificates to be delivered to such purchasers to the effect that the Pledged Collateral represented thereby have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth or referring to restrictions on the transferability of such securities; (B) the issuance of stop transfer instructions to the Issuer’s transfer agent, if any, with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or, if the Issuer transfers its own securities, a notation in the appropriate records of the Issuer; (C) to be obtained from the purchasers a signed written agreement that the Pledged Collateral will not be sold without registration or other compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act; and (D) to be delivered to the purchasers a signed written agreement of the Borrower and the Issuer that such purchasers shall be entitled to the rights of the Lender pursuant to this Section 11.


(c) In the event of any such sale, the Borrower does hereby consent and agree that the Lender shall not incur any responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price which the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were public and deferred until after registration as aforesaid. In such event, (A) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (B) the Borrower shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (C) the Lender shall not incur any liability or responsibility to the Borrower in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale. The Borrower recognizes that a ready market may not exist for Pledged Collateral which is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by the Lender of any such Pledged Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of Pledged Collateral or Pledged Collateral that is privately traded.

11.6 Title of Purchasers. Upon consummation of any sale of Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 11, the Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Pledged Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Lender shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Obligations until such amount actually is received by the Lender, and any Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Lender until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof. The Lender shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.

11.7 Disposition of Proceeds of Sale. The cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied, first, to the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting and liquidating the Pledged Collateral, and the like; second, to the satisfaction of all Obligations, with application as to any particular Obligations to be in the order set forth in the Letter Agreement or other Loan Documents; and, third, to all other indebtedness secured hereby in such order and manner as the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.

12. Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies provided herein in favor of the Lender shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies in favor of the Lender existing at law or in equity including, without limitation, all of the rights, powers and remedies available to a bank under the provisions of the


Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in any appropriate jurisdiction. The Borrower shall indemnify and save harmless the Lender from and against any liability or damage which it may incur in the exercise and performance of any of its rights, powers and remedies set forth herein.

13. No Waiver, Etc. No delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by the Lender and the Borrower.

14. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by: (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Borrower or the Issuer; (b) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver, by the Lender of any rights, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Obligations, the Letter Agreement or any note, or any security for any of the Obligations (other than this Agreement); or (c) any amendment to or modification of the Obligations, the Letter Agreement or any note or any security for any of the Obligations (other than this Agreement); whether or not the Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

15. Release of Collateral. After the payment in full of all of the Obligations, the Lender shall promptly return to the Borrower all of the Pledged Collateral and all other property and cash which have not been used or applied toward the payment in full of the Obligations.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

18. Subscription Rights. The Lender shall not be under any obligation to exercise or to give the Borrower notice of any subscription rights or privileges, any rights to exchange, convert or redeem or any other rights or privileges relating to any of the Pledged Collateral.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and thereto, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
