On November 6, 2008, the Company entered into a Machine Disposal Agreement with Elixir International Limited (“Elixir International”), a Macau company and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Elixir Group, pursuant to which the Company sold and returned to Elixir International 715 electronic gaming machines, previously purchased by the Company from Elixir International, in consideration of Elixir International’s agreement to cancel approximately $14,000,000 of trade payables owed by the Company to Elixir International.

 

On November 6, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment to Trade Credit Facility Agreement and Related Note with Elixir International (“Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties have amended the terms of the Trade Credit Facility Agreement between the parties dated April 21, 2008 (the “Facility Agreement”) and refinanced the $12.1 million outstanding principal balance under the Facility Agreement.  Pursuant to the Amendment, the fixed interest rate on advances under the Facility Agreement, including the $12.1 million outstanding principal balance under the Facility Agreement, is reduced from 8% per annum to 5% per annum effective as of January 1, 2009. In addition, Elixir International has agreed to restructure the payment schedule of the outstanding credit balance.  Under the revised payment schedule, the Company is not required to make any repayment under the Facility Agreement until January 1, 2009, and thereafter the outstanding credit balance will be paid in 24 equal monthly installments.

 

On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with Gordon Yuen, its former chief executive officer, pursuant to which the parties agreed to modify certain terms of the Employment Agreement dated May 31, 2008 between the parties.  Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company is required to pay Mr. Yuen his then current salary, currently in the annual amount of $425,000, following termination of his employment.  Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Yuen agreed to accept a lump sum payment $318,750 in lieu of $425,000 following his termination of employment.  Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the parties confirmed that Mr. Yuen’s options to purchase 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at $2.90 per share, will not be subject to early termination as result of  the termination of his employment, and will expire by their terms on January 1, 2011.  The parties also confirmed that all other options held by Mr. Yuen will expire on January 1, 2009.  The Separation Agreement contains a release of Mr. Yuen of all other claims against the Company and its affiliates.
