FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, and to
induce Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxx, a resident of the State of Texas (“Xxxxxx”), to enter into the
Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated July 7, 2009, in the principal amount
of Six
Million and No/100
Dollars
($6,000,000.00) in favor of Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“NGC”), Gold
Mountain Development, L.L.C., a Colorado limited liability company
(“GMD”), CGC Holdings,
L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company (“CGC”), Colorado
Grande Enterprises, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“CGE”), NG Washington,
L.L.C., a Washington state limited liability company (“NGW”), and Nevada Gold
BVR, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company (“NGBVR”), and Xxxxxx all enter
into this Loan Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) as follows:
1. GMD,
CGC, CGE, NGW, and NGBVR are collectively referred to in this Guaranty as the
“NGC Guarantors.”
2. The
terms “Obligation” and “Obligations” are used interchangeably throughout this
Guaranty in their broadest and most comprehensive sense and shall include, but
are not limited to, payment of all amounts payable by NGC to Xxxxxx and
performance of all covenants to be performed by NGC in connection with that
certain Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “July 2009 Note) and that
certain July 2009 Amended and Restated Security Agreement (the “July 2009 ARSA”)
both executed by NGC in favor of Xxxxxx and both dated July 7, 2009
(collectively referred to as the “July 2009 Loan Documents”), and any and all
subsequent modifications, amendments, extensions, renewals, accommodations, or
substitutions of the July 2009 Loan Documents. The July 2009 Loan
Documents are incorporated by reference in this Guaranty for all purposes as if
fully set forth at length, and any and all definitions and provisions of the
July 2009 Loan Documents shall apply to this Guaranty, including but not limited
to the definition of the terms “Obligation” and “Obligations.”
3. The
NGC Guarantors all, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantee and warrant to Xxxxxx, as long as this Guaranty is in effect, the full
and faithful payment by NGC of each and every Obligation. The terms
and conditions of each and every instrument evidencing the Obligations are
incorporated in this Guaranty by reference and shall be binding upon the NGC
Guarantors, jointly and severally, to the same extent as they are binding on
NGC. The NGC Guarantors all, jointly and severally, irrevocably and
unconditionally promise and guarantee to pay to Xxxxxx the entire principal
amount borrowed under the July 2009 Loan Documents and all accrued, unpaid
interest and other sums due under the July 2009 Loan Documents, including but
not limited to attorney’s fees, expenses, and court costs incurred by Xxxxxx in
collection efforts under the July 2009 Loan Documents and this Guaranty, without
notice or demand, immediately upon any acceleration of the July 2009 Note,
regardless of whether Xxxxxx will have a right of recovery under the July 2009
Loan Documents against NGC following any acceleration. This Guaranty
shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations have been fully
paid and satisfied.
4. The
Obligations may be amended, modified, or waived, further agreements may be
entered into, and further credit may be granted from time to time at the request
of NGC and without further authorization from or notice to any of the NGC
Guarantors, all of which are expressly waived by the NGC
Guarantors. None of these actions shall terminate, release, reduce,
diminish, or in any way affect any of the obligations of any of the NGC
Guarantors under this Guaranty or give any of the NGC Guarantors any recourse or
defense against Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx need not inquire into the power of NGC
or the authority of its officers, partners, members, or agents acting or
purporting to act on its behalf. Any amendments granted to NGC shall
be deemed to have been granted also at the request of the NGC Guarantors and in
consideration of and in reliance upon this Guaranty.
5. Xxxxxx
may alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, or change the time or manner for the
payment of any Obligation guaranteed by this Guaranty; accept any additional
indebtedness from NGC; add interest to the Credit Facility and increase or
reduce the rate of interest; release NGC by a deed or other transfer or
assignment in lieu of foreclosure; or otherwise as to all or any portion of the
Obligations guaranteed waive any default by NGC; fail to assert any rights
against NGC; grant to NGC any other indulgence or concession with respect to all
or any part of any of the Obligations; release, substitute, or add any one or
more guarantors or endorsers; accept additional or substituted security; or
release or subordinate any security; and may generally deal with NGC, any
guarantor, endorser, or any other person, any indebtedness of NGC to Xxxxxx, or
any security for the indebtedness, as Xxxxxx sees fit. None of these
actions and no change, impairment, or suspension of any right or remedy of
Xxxxxx shall terminate, release, reduce, diminish, or in any way affect any of
the obligations of any of the NGC Guarantors under this Guaranty or give any of
them or any other guarantor any recourse or defense against Xxxxxx.
6. This
is a Guaranty of payment and performance under the July 2009 Loan Documents and
this Guaranty and not of collection, and the NGC Guarantors, and all other
guarantors, if any, waive and agree not to assert or take advantage
of:

a. the
defense of the statute of limitations in any action under this Guaranty or for
the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any Obligation
guaranteed in this Guaranty;
b. any
defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or
disability of, or revocation of this Guaranty by NGC or any other person or
person, or the failure of Xxxxxx to file or enforce a claim against the estate
(either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of NGC or any
other person or persons;
c. demand,
presentment, protest, and notice of any kind including, but not limited to
notice under the laws of the State of Texas and notice of the existence,
creation, or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of
any action or non-action on the part of NGC or any other person, in connection
with any Obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Xxxxxx as collateral or
in connection with any Obligation guaranteed by this Guaranty;
d. except
as may be provided for in this Guaranty, any defense based upon an election of
remedies by Xxxxxx, including without limitation an election to proceed by
non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise
impairs the subrogation rights of any of the NGC Guarantors or any endorser of
the July 2009 Loan documents to proceed against NGC for reimbursement, or both;
and
e. any
duty on the part of Xxxxxx to disclose to any of the NGC Guarantors any facts
she may now or subsequently learn about NGC, regardless of whether Xxxxxx has
reason to believe that the facts materially increase the risk beyond that which
the NGC Guarantors intend to assume, or has reason to believe that the facts are
unknown to any of the NGC Guarantors, or has a reasonable opportunity to
communicate the facts to any of the NGC Guarantors. The NGC
Guarantors all understand and agree that they are fully responsible for being
informed and keeping themselves informed of the financial condition of NGC and
of all circumstances bearing on the risk of payment of any Obligations
guaranteed by this Guaranty.
7. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Guaranty, until all Obligations have been paid in
full, even though the Obligations may be in excess of the liability of the NGC
Guarantors under this Guaranty, the NGC Guarantors all waive any claims or other
rights that they may now have or subsequently acquire against NGC or any other
guarantor of all or any of the Obligations that arise from the existence or
performance of the NGC Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty or any other
instrument (all of these claims and rights are referred to as the “NGC
Guarantors’ Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, or
any benefit of, right to participate in or right or enforce any claim that
Xxxxxx now has or subsequently acquires, regardless of whether the claim,
remedy, benefit or right arises in equity, under contract, statute or common
law, by any payment made under this Guaranty or otherwise, including without
limitation, the right to take or receive from NGC, directly or indirectly, in
cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security
on account of the claim or other rights. If, notwithstanding these
provisions, any amount is paid to any guarantor on account of the NGC
Guarantors’ Conditional Rights and the amount is paid to any of the NGC
Guarantors at any time when the Obligations have not been paid or performed in
full, then the amount paid to each of the NGC Guarantors shall be held in trust
by the receiving entity for the benefit of Xxxxxx and shall immediately be paid
to Xxxxxx to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in the order that Xxxxxx, in her sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine.
8. The
amount of liability of the NGC Guarantors and all rights, powers, and remedies
of Xxxxxx under this Guaranty and under any other agreements now or at any time
subsequently in force between Xxxxxx and any of the NGC Guarantors, including
any other guaranty executed by any of the NGC Guarantors relating to any
indebtedness of NGC to Xxxxxx, shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall
be deemed to include all rights, powers, and remedies given to Xxxxxx by
law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of
any other guarantor of any indebtedness of NGC to Xxxxxx.
9. The
NGC Guarantors shall be jointly and severally liable for, and they each agree to
pay on demand, actual attorneys’ fees and all costs and other expenses incurred
by Xxxxxx in enforcing, collecting, or compromising any Obligations guaranteed
by this Guaranty or in enforcing or collecting upon this Guaranty against any of
the NGC Guarantors, regardless of whether suit is filed.
10. If
any one or more provisions of this Guaranty shall be determined to illegal or
unenforceable, all other provisions of this Guaranty shall nevertheless be
effective and enforceable and this Guaranty shall be interpreted as if the
illegal or unenforceable provision was not included.

11. This
Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Xxxxxx and her successors and assigns,
including the assigns of any Obligations guaranteed by this Guaranty, and binds
the officers, shareholders, representatives, successors, and assigns of the NGC
Guarantors. This Guaranty is assignable by Xxxxxx with respect to all
or any portion of the Obligations, and if and when this Guaranty is assigned,
the NGC Guarantors shall be liable to the assignees under this Guaranty without
in any way affecting the liability of the NGC Guarantors under this Guaranty
regarding any Obligations that may be retained by Xxxxxx.
12. No
provision of this Guaranty or right of Xxxxxx under this Guaranty can be
amended, modified, or waived, nor can any of the NGC Guarantor be released from
any of their Obligations under this Guaranty, except upon the express written
consent of Xxxxxx.
13. This
Guaranty shall be governed and construed in accordance with laws of the State of
Texas. Venue for any action brought to enforce this Guaranty shall be
and is agreed to be proper in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas.
14. The
NGC Guarantors represent and warrant and shall be estopped from denying that
this Guaranty is made directly to Xxxxxx and is independent collateral, separate
and distinct from any Obligations. This Guaranty is not intended as a
guaranty of any of the NGC Guarantors’ own obligations.
15. Any

given by certified mail with return receipt requested, by receipted courier, by
overnight delivery service, or by hand delivery and sent to the persons at the
