(c) Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel of Beneficiary’s choice) Beneficiary, its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, demands, liabilities, fines, penalties, assessments, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses), arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of (i) the presence on or under the Property (including, but not limited to, the surrounding streets and sidewalks) of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, the existence in the aquifer underlying the Property and other portions of Reno, Nevada, or in soils affecting that aquifer, of PCE (tetrachloroethylene) and hydrocarbons, or either of them on or prior to the “Transfer Date” (as such term is defined in the “Environmental Indemnity” described in Section 45 below), or any Release of any Hazardous Material on, under or from the Property on or prior to the Transfer Date, or (b) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off the Property on or prior to the Transfer Date, whether by Trustor or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Trustor or any third persons occupying or present on the Property, in connection with the use, holding, handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, cleanup, transport, Release, generation, processing or abatement of any Hazardous Material located or present in, on or under the Property (including, but not limited to, the surrounding streets and sidewalks). The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination in, on or under the Property (including, but not limited to, the surrounding streets and sidewalks), or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, holding, handling, treatment, removal, decontamination, cleanup, storage, transport, Release, processing or abatement of any such Hazardous Material on or prior to the Transfer Date, and irrespective of whether any of such activities are undertaken in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, but shall not include, with respect to any particular indemnitee and loss, that portion, if any, of that loss which was caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of that indemnitee. Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed of Trust to the contrary, the obligations of Trustor under this Section 5(c) shall be unlimited personal obligations of Trustor, shall not be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall survive any foreclosure under this Deed of Trust, any transfer in lieu thereof, and any satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
6. Insurance.
(a) Types and Amounts Required. During the continuance of this Trust, Trustor shall at all times provide, maintain and keep in force, at no expense to Trustee or Beneficiary, for the benefit of Trustor and Beneficiary, as their respective interests may appear, the following policies of insurance:
12
(i) Property insurance protecting the property against losses or damages as is customarily covered by so-called “all-risk” policy or a property policy covering “special” causes of loss and losses resulting from earthquakes or floods for a business of similar type and size; provided, however, that such insurance shall provide coverage of not less than the least of (a) 130% of the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (y) the aggregate commitments under the New Credit Facility, (b) 100% of actual replacement value (as determined at each policy renewal based on the X.X. Xxxxx Building Index or some other recognized means) of any improvements customarily insured consistent with industry standards and (c) in the case of earthquake or flood insurance, such coverage as is available on commercially reasonable terms and, in any event, is consistent with coverage obtained by businesses of a similar type and size and, in each case, with a deductible no greater than 3% of the insured value of the Hotel/Casino Property (as defined in the Indenture) or such greater amount as is available on commercially reasonable terms;
(ii) Commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1.0 million per occurrence;
(iii) Workers’ compensation insurance to the extent required to comply with all applicable state, territorial or United States laws and regulations, or the laws and regulations of any other applicable jurisdiction;
(iv) Umbrella or excess liability insurance providing excess liability coverages over and above the foregoing underlying insurance policies up to a minimum limit of $50.0 million; and
(v) Such other insurance and in such amounts, and such additional amounts of the foregoing insurance, as may reasonably be required by Beneficiary, from time to time, due consideration being given to standard practices in the industry and to the risks involved in Trustor’s business, operations or interest.
All insurance required by this covenant (except worker’s compensation) shall name the Trustor and the Beneficiary as additional insureds loss payees, as the case may be, with losses in excess of $1.0 million payable jointly to the Trustor and the Beneficiary (unless a Default or Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is then continuing, in which case all losses are payable solely to the Beneficiary), with no recourse against the Beneficiary for the payment of premiums, deductibles, commissions or club calls. All such insurance policies shall be issued by carriers having an A.M. Best & Company, Inc. rating of A or higher and a financial size category of not less than X, or if such carrier is not rated by A.M. Best & Company, Inc., having the financial stability and size deemed appropriate by an opinion from a reputable insurance broker. Trustor shall deliver to the Beneficiary on each anniversary of the date hereof a certificate of an insurance agent describing the insurance policies obtained by the Trustor, together with an officer’s certificate stating that such policies comply with this Section 6.
(b) Uniform Policy Requirements. All policies of insurance required by the terms of this Deed of Trust:
13
(i) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act, failure to act, negligence or breach of representation or warranty of Trustor, or of any party holding under Trustor, which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said insurance;
(ii) shall contain a waiver by the insurer of all rights of setoff, counterclaim and deduction against Trustor;
(iii) shall contain a waiver of subrogation by the insurer in favor of Beneficiary and a clause providing that the policy is primary and that any other insurance of Beneficiary with respect to the matters covered by such policy shall be excess and non-contributing;
(iv) shall, in the case of policies affording liability insurance coverage, name Beneficiary (and Beneficiary’s officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives) as additional insured by an endorsement satisfactory to Beneficiary and contain cross-liability and severability of interest clauses satisfactory to Beneficiary, and, in the case of other policies, shall name Beneficiary as a loss payee and have attached thereto a lender’s loss payable endorsement, for the benefit of Beneficiary, in form satisfactory to Beneficiary (Form 438 BFU, unless otherwise specified by Beneficiary); and
(v) shall contain a provision that, notwithstanding any contrary agreement between Trustor and insurance company, such policies will not be canceled, fail to be renewed or materially amended (which term shall include any reduction in the type, scope or limits of coverage) without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Beneficiary.
(c) Blanket and Umbrella Policies. If Beneficiary consents, Trustor may provide any of the required insurance through an umbrella policy or policies or through blanket policies carried by Trustor and covering more than one location, or by policies procured by a tenant or other party holding under Trustor; provided, however, that the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Real Property and available with respect to occurrences required to be insured against shall be such as to furnish protection the equivalent of separate policies in the amounts herein required, and provided further, that, in all other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with all of the other provisions of this Deed of Trust.
(d) Procurement by Beneficiary. If Trustor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver to Beneficiary the policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may (but shall have no obligation to) procure such insurance, or single interest insurance for such risks covering Beneficiary’s interests, and Trustor will pay all premiums therefor promptly upon demand by Beneficiary; and until such payment is made by Trustor, the amount of all such premiums, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the rate borne by the Notes (the “Agreed Rate”), shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
(d) Reserve Fund. Upon request by Beneficiary following an Event of Default (as defined in Section 22 hereof) relating to the payment of money, or following and
14
during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an initial cash reserve in an amount adequate to pay all insurance premiums due within the next succeeding twelve calendar months on all policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust, and shall thereafter deposit with Beneficiary each month, commencing with the first month after such request by Beneficiary and continuing until all sums secured hereby are paid in full or Beneficiary notifies Trustor to cease making such deposits, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the aggregate annual insurance premiums on all policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust, as reasonably estimated by Beneficiary. In such event Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to the foregoing insurance premiums to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents evidencing that a premium for a required policy is then payable, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, Beneficiary shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may be then or subsequently due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, nor shall anything contained herein modify the obligation of Trustor to maintain and keep in force at all times such insurance as is required by this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may commingle said reserve with its own funds and Trustor shall be entitled to no interest thereon.
(e) Replacement Cost. Whenever Beneficiary requires insurance with full replacement cost protection, such full replacement cost shall be determined annually (except in the event of substantial changes, alterations or additions to the Improvements or in the event of new construction undertaken by the Trustor, in which event such full replacement cost shall be determined from time to time as required to assure full replacement cost coverage). Such determination of full replacement cost shall be made by written agreement of the insurance carrier and Trustor, subject to the reasonable approval of Beneficiary. If they cannot agree or the value shall not be approved by Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after such request, such full replacement cost shall be determined by an appraiser, architect or contractor who shall be reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary. No omission on the part of Beneficiary to request any such determination shall relieve Trustor of its obligations hereunder, and any such determination to the contrary notwithstanding, Beneficiary may require Trustor to obtain additional insurance as provided in this Section.
(f) Separate Insurance. Trustor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Section to be furnished by Trustor unless Beneficiary is a named insured therein, with loss payable as provided herein. Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary of the taking out of any such separate insurance and shall cause the original policies in respect thereof or certificates therefor to be delivered to Beneficiary.
(g) Compliance with Insurance Requirements. Trustor shall observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of insurance required to be maintained in accordance with this Deed of Trust and shall cause the requirements of the companies writing such policies to be so performed and satisfied that at all times companies of good standing
15
satisfactory to Beneficiary shall be willing to write and to continue such insurance. Notwithstanding any approval, disapproval, acceptance or acquiescence by Beneficiary with respect to such insurance, or Beneficiary’s obtaining or failure to obtain any insurance, Beneficiary shall incur no liability as to the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, the solvency of any insurer or the payment of any loss, and Trustor hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor.
(h) Assignment of Policies upon Foreclosure. In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title or assignment of any of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the debt secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to all policies of insurance required by this Section with respect to such Property and any unearned premiums paid thereon shall, without further act, be assigned to and shall inure to the benefit of and pass to the successor in interest to Trustor or the purchaser or grantee of the Property, and Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary its lawful attorney-in-fact to execute an assignment thereof and any other document necessary to effect such transfer.
(i) Waiver of Subrogation. Trustor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Beneficiary, its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Trustor, the Property, any other property of Trustor, or any property of others under Trustor’s control, from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
(j) Requirements Supplemental. The requirements of this Deed of Trust with respect to insurance and maintenance of the Property shall be supplemental to and not exclusive of the requirements of the Indenture and the Security Agreement relating thereto.
7. Casualties; Insurance Proceeds.
(a) Notice of Casualties. Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary after the happening of any material casualty to or in connection with the Property or any part thereof, whether or not such casualty is covered by insurance.
(b) Payment of Proceeds. Prior to any Default or Event of Default, proceeds of insurance in an amount not greater than $1,000,000 payable in connection with any casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property shall be payable to Trustor. Proceeds in any greater amount and, after a Default or Event of Default, all proceeds, payable in connection with any casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property shall be payable to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to Beneficiary. If Trustor receives any proceeds of insurance resulting from a casualty which, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, are to be paid to Beneficiary, Trustor shall promptly pay over such proceeds to Beneficiary. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction of the Property or any part thereof under any policy or policies of insurance in connection with a loss in an amount of $1,000,000 or more without the prior written consent of Beneficiary to such settlement, adjustment or compromise; and, after an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the sole and exclusive right, and Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary, to settle, adjust or compromise any such claims.
16
(c) Use in Restoration. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, and provided that (i) at the time of such damage or destruction or thereafter, an Event of Default does not exist hereunder, and (ii) application of insurance proceeds to restoration of the Property will not, in Beneficiary’s judgment exercised according to the Indenture, materially impair Beneficiary’s security for the obligations secured hereby, insurance proceeds payable in connection with such damage or destruction shall be applied, first, toward reimbursement of all of Beneficiary’s reasonable costs and expenses of recovering the proceeds, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; then, to payment of all sums advanced by Beneficiary to protect the Property or the security of the Secured Obligations; then, to payment of installments of principal and interest then due and payable under the Notes; then, to restoration of the Property, upon conditions and provisions then customarily used for disbursements of a construction loan (including, without limitation: delivery to Beneficiary by Trustor of detailed plans and specifications providing for restoration in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project, together with a detailed estimate of the cost of the work and schedule therefor and a construction contract satisfactory to Beneficiary, with a contractor satisfactory to Beneficiary, for performance of the work within the budgeted amount, and within the scheduled time for completion; proof that the insurance required hereby is in force; proof that an amount equal to the sum which Beneficiary is requested to disburse has theretofore been paid by Trustor, or is then due and payable, for materials theretofore installed or work theretofore performed upon the Property and properly includable in the cost of repair, reconstruction or restoration thereof; proof that, after repair or reconstruction, the Property will be at least as valuable as it was immediately before the damage or condemnation occurred; and proof that the insurance proceeds available for repair or restoration are sufficient, in Beneficiary’s determination, to pay for the total cost of repair or reconstruction, including all associated development costs and interest projected to be payable on the Secured Obligations until the repair or reconstruction is complete, or Trustor must provide its own funds in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds available for repair or restoration and a reasonable estimate, made by Trustor and found acceptable by Beneficiary, of the total cost of repair or reconstruction); and, upon completion of the work of restoration and payment of the cost thereof, any balance of such proceeds shall be applied to the indebtedness secured hereby, in such order as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, shall determine according to the Indenture; and, if any then remains, it shall be paid over to Trustor.
(d) Application by Beneficiary. If (i) at the time of such damage or destruction or thereafter, an Event of Default exists hereunder, or (ii) application of insurance proceeds to restoration will, in Beneficiary’s judgment exercised according to the Indenture, materially impair Beneficiary’s security for the obligations secured hereby, Beneficiary, acting according to the Indenture, shall decide whether (1) to apply all or any portion of such proceeds to any indebtedness or other obligation secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not be due according to the terms thereof, or (2) to apply all or any portion of such proceeds to the restoration of the Property, according to the provisions of the Indenture, or (3) to deliver all or any portion such proceeds to Trustor, subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine.
17
(e) Duty to Restore. Nothing in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to excuse Trustor from restoring, repairing and maintaining the Property, as herein provided (other than Beneficiary’s failure to apply insurance proceeds to the restoration of the Property as and to the extent required by Section 7(c) above, which failure shall excuse Trustor only to the extent of the insurance proceeds so withheld by Beneficiary), regardless of whether or not insurance proceeds are available for restoration, whether or not any such proceeds are sufficient in amount, or whether or not the Property can be restored to the same condition and character as existed prior to such damage or destruction.
8. Taxes and Impositions.
(a) Payment by Trustor. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(d) below, Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid, at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency, all real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-governmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, owner association dues or charges or fees, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property or the Skyways, which are assessed or imposed upon the Property or the Skyways, or become due and payable, and which create, may create or appear to create a lien upon the Property, or any part thereof, or the Skyways, or upon any personal property, equipment or other facility used in the operation or maintenance thereof (all of which taxes, assessments and charges, together with any and all other taxes, and charges of a similar kind or nature are collectively referred to hereinafter as “Impositions”); provided, however, that if, by law, any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, Trustor may pay the same or cause it to be paid, together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment and interest.
(b) New Impositions. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be assessed or imposed (i) a tax or assessment on the Property in lieu of or in addition to the Impositions payable by Trustor pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section, or (ii) a license fee, tax or assessment imposed on Beneficiary and measured by or based in whole or in part upon the amount of the Notes or other obligations secured hereby, then all such taxes, assessments or fees shall be deemed to be included within the term “Impositions” as defined in Subsection (a) of this Section, and Trustor shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided with respect to the payment of Impositions, if Trustor is permitted by law to pay the same. If Trustor is prohibited by law from paying such Impositions, then, at the option of Beneficiary, all obligations secured hereby, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Trustor shall have no obligation to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, income, excess profits or similar tax levied on Beneficiary or on the obligations secured hereby.
(c) Proof of Payment. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (d) of this Section, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary, within seven (7) days after the date upon which any Imposition is due and payable by Trustor in accordance with this Deed of Trust, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to Beneficiary, evidencing the payment thereof.
18
(d) Contest of Assessments. Trustor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity or amount of any such Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Trustor’s covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section unless Trustor has given prior written notice to Beneficiary of Trustor’s intent so to contest or object to an Imposition, and unless, at Beneficiary’s sole option, (i) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary’s satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Property, or any part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings; or (ii) Trustor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Beneficiary; or (iii) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary’s satisfaction that Trustor has provided a good and sufficient undertaking as required or permitted by law to accomplish a stay of any such sale.
(e) Reserve Fund. Upon request by Beneficiary following an Event of Default relating to the payment of money, or following and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an initial cash reserve in an amount adequate to pay all Impositions for the ensuing tax fiscal year, and shall thereafter deposit with Beneficiary each month, commencing with the first month after such request by Beneficiary and continuing until all sums secured hereby are paid in full or Beneficiary gives notice to Trustor to cease making such deposits, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the sum of the annual Impositions. In such event, Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to Impositions to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents evidencing that Impositions are then payable, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, Beneficiary shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and upon such notice Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, nor shall anything contained herein modify the obligation of Trustor to pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions. Beneficiary may commingle said reserve with its own funds and Trustor shall be entitled to no interest thereon. Beneficiary will impound or reserve for future payment of Impositions such excess portion of such payments if the payments are above what is needed for payment of the Impositions, applying the balance upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not yet be due according to the terms thereof. Should Trustor fail to deposit with Beneficiary (exclusive of that portion of said payments which has been applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby) sums sufficient to fully pay such Impositions at least thirty (30) days before delinquency thereof, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election, but without any obligation so to do, advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate, shall be secured hereby and shall be repayable to Beneficiary upon demand; or, at the option of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, without making any advance whatever, apply any sums held by it upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order as
19
Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not yet be due according to the terms thereof.
(f) Joint Assessment. Trustor shall not initiate, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall not suffer or permit the joint assessment of any real and personal property which may constitute all or a portion of the Property or any other procedure whereby the lien of real property taxes and the lien of personal property taxes shall be assessed, levied or charged to the Property as a single lien.
(g) Tax Service. Trustor shall cause to be furnished to Beneficiary a tax reporting service, covering the Property, of the type and duration, and with a company, satisfactory to Beneficiary.
9. Liens. Trustor shall pay and promptly discharge, at Trustor’s cost and expense, all liens, encumbrances and charges upon the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein; provided that Trustor shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity or amount of any such lien, encumbrance or charge in accordance with the provisions hereof or of the Indenture, and provided further that Trustor will not be required to pay or discharge Permitted Liens. If Trustor shall fail to remove and discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge when due (or, if being contested in accordance with the Indenture, promptly upon final determination of such contest proceedings), then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien, encumbrance or charge by depositing in a court a bond or the amount claimed or otherwise giving security for such claim, or by procuring such discharge in such manner as is or may be prescribed by law. Trustor shall, immediately upon demand therefor by Beneficiary, pay to Beneficiary an amount equal to all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the exercise by Beneficiary of the foregoing right to discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge, together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate.
10. Easements and Leaseholds. If a leasehold estate or an easement or other incorporeal right constitutes a portion of the Real Property, Trustor agrees not to amend, change or modify (other than any such amendment, change or modification that is beneficial to the Real Property) or terminate such leasehold estate, easement or other right or interest, or any right thereto or interest therein, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications. Trustor shall submit to Beneficiary any such request for consent in writing (which request shall include such information and documentation as appropriate to enable Beneficiary to make an informed decision regarding such request), and Beneficiary will have thirty (30) days after receipt thereof in which to review and respond to such request. If Beneficiary fails to respond to Trustor’s request within said thirty (30) day period, Trustor may resubmit its request in writing, stating that Beneficiary failed to respond to the initial request within said thirty (30) day period and, if Beneficiary thereafter fails to respond to such request within five (5) days, Beneficiary shall be deemed to have consented thereto. Trustor agrees to perform all obligations and agreements with respect to said leasehold, easement or other right or interest and shall not take any action or omit to take any action which would
20
effect or permit the termination thereof. Trustor agrees to promptly notify Beneficiary in writing with respect to any default or alleged default by any party thereto and to deliver to Beneficiary copies of all notices, demands, complaints or other communications received or given by Trustor with respect to any such default or alleged default. Beneficiary shall have the option, but not the obligation, to cure any such default and to perform any or all of Trustor’s obligations thereunder or with respect thereto. All sums expended by Beneficiary in curing any such default shall be secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable without demand or notice and shall bear interest from date of expenditure at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate.
11. Further Acts. Trustor shall do and perform all acts necessary to keep valid and effective the charges and lien hereof, to carry into effect its object and purposes, to protect the lawful owners of the Notes and other obligations secured hereby; shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary at any time, upon request of Beneficiary, all other and further instruments in writing necessary to vest in and secure to Trustee each and every part of the Real Property and to Beneficiary the Rents therefrom and rights and interest of Beneficiary therein or with respect thereto; and, upon request by the Beneficiary, shall supply evidence of fulfillment of each of the covenants herein contained concerning which a request for such evidence has been made.
12. Assignment of Rents.
(a) Assignment to Beneficiary; Trustor’s Limited License to Collect Prior to Default. Notwithstanding any language contained herein, or in any other document, to the contrary, Trustor hereby irrevocably and absolutely assigns and transfers to Beneficiary, without having to first take possession of the Property, all Rents, including all present and future Leases and other rental agreements, reserving unto Trustor a license to collect such Rents prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license reserved to Trustor shall be immediately revoked without further demand or notice, and any Rents, including those past due, unpaid or undetermined, may be collected by Beneficiary or its agent, and any amount so collected shall be applied, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to any indebtedness and/or obligations secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary shall determine, provided that, upon Trustor’s cure of any Event of Default not relating to the payment of money, Beneficiary will reinstate Trustor’s license to collect such Rents. The collection of such Rents, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or constitute a waiver of any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. Trustor and Beneficiary intend that this assignment shall be a present, absolute and unconditional assignment, not an assignment for additional security only, and shall, immediately upon the execution hereof, subject to the license granted above, give Beneficiary, and its agent, the right to collect the Rents and to apply them as aforesaid. Nothing contained herein, nor any collection of Rents by Beneficiary, or its agent or a receiver, shall be construed to make Beneficiary (i) a “Mortgagee-in-Possession” of the Property so long as Beneficiary has not itself entered into actual possession of the Property; (ii) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any Lease; (iii) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or (iv) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all
21
or any part of it (provided that this clause (iv) shall not act to relieve Beneficiary from liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary).
(b) No Other Assignments. Other than in connection with the New Credit Facility, Trustor hereby represents to Beneficiary that there is no assignment or pledge of any Leases of, or Rent from, the Property now in effect, and covenants that, until the Notes are fully paid, and the other Secured Obligations are fully satisfied, Trustor will not make any such assignment or pledge to anyone other than Beneficiary nor will it accept any periodic payments which are to be made pursuant to such Leases or Rents more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which such payments are due.
13. Actions Affecting Property. Trustor shall give Beneficiary and Trustee prompt written notice of the assertion of any claim with respect to, or the filing of any action or proceeding affecting or purporting to affect, the Property or Skyways, or title thereto or any right of possession thereof, or this Deed of Trust or the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder. Trustor shall appear in and contest any such action or proceeding at Trustor’s sole expense; and shall pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear.
14. Eminent Domain. If any proceeding or action be commenced for the taking of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise, or if the same be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner, or should Trustor receive any notice or other information regarding such proceeding, action, taking or damage (including, without limitation, a proposal to purchase the Property or some portion thereof in lieu of condemnation), Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, without regard to the adequacy of its security, to investigate and negotiate with the condemnor concerning the proposed taking, to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any such action or proceeding, and, if the amount of the Award (defined below) is an amount greater than $1,000,000, or if an Event of Default then exists hereunder, to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage. Trustor shall not compromise or settle any such action or proceeding or agree to any sale in lieu of condemnation if the amount of the Award is an amount greater than $1,000,000 without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. All compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds awarded to Trustor by reason of any such taking, transfer or damage (the “Award”) are hereby assigned to Beneficiary and Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Award as Beneficiary or Trustee may require. After deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with any such negotiations, action or proceeding (whether or not prosecuted to judgment), Beneficiary shall, if (i) an Event of Default does not then exist hereunder, and (ii) if application of the Award to restoration of the Property will not, in Beneficiary’s judgment exercised according to the Indenture, materially impair Beneficiary’s security for the obligations secured hereby, apply the Award to the restoration of the Property, upon conditions substantially similar to the disbursement provisions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and all other conditions and provisions established by Beneficiary which are similar to conditions and provisions then
22
used by Beneficiary for disbursements of a construction loan (it being expressly understood and agreed that Beneficiary may condition disbursement of such proceeds for restoration upon proof that an amount equal to the sum which Beneficiary is requested to disburse has theretofore been paid by Trustor without reimbursement therefor, or is then due and payable, for materials theretofore installed or work theretofore performed upon the Property and properly includable in the cost of repair, reconstruction or restoration thereof). If, at the time of receipt by Beneficiary of such proceeds, (i) an Event of Default then exists hereunder, or (ii) application of the Award to restoration will, in Beneficiary’s judgment exercised according to the Indenture, materially impair Beneficiary’s security for the obligations secured hereby, Beneficiary shall, according to the Indenture, decide whether (1) to apply all or any portion of the Award upon any indebtedness or other obligation secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not be due according to the terms thereof, or (2) to apply all or any portion of the Award to the restoration of the Property, according to the provisions of the Indenture, or (3) to deliver all or any portion of the Award, after such deductions, to Trustor, subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine (and, if the Award is not sufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations in full, Trustor shall immediately pay any remaining balance, together with all accrued interest thereon). Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Trustor from restoring, repairing and maintaining the Property, as herein provided (other than Beneficiary’s failure to apply the Award to the restoration of the Property as and to the extent required by the provisions of this Section 14, which failure shall excuse Trustor only to the extent of the Award so withheld by Beneficiary), regardless of whether or not the Award is available for restoration, whether or not any such Award is sufficient in amount, or whether or not the Property can be restored to the same condition and character as existed prior to such damage or partial taking. Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner under all laws, including NRS 37.115, as amended or recodified from time to time, which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder.
15. Partial or Late Payments. By accepting payment of any indebtedness secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive its right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other indebtedness so secured or to declare default, as herein provided, for failure to so pay.
16. Reconveyance By Trustee. Upon receipt of written request from Beneficiary reciting that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and the Notes secured hereby to Trustee for cancellation and retention, or such other disposition as Trustee, in its sole discretion, may choose, and upon payment of its fees, the Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty or recourse, the Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters of fact shall be conclusive proof of the truth thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described in general terms as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto”.
17. Right of Beneficiary and Trustee to Appear. If, during the existence of the trust created hereby, there be commenced or pending any suit or action materially and adversely affecting the Property, or any part thereof, or the title thereto, or if any adverse claim for or against the Property, or any part thereof, be made or asserted, the Trustee or Beneficiary may appear or intervene in the suit or action and retain counsel therein and,
23
unless such suit or action is being diligently contested in good faith by Trustor and Trustor shall have established and maintained adequate reserves with Beneficiary for the full payment and satisfaction of such suit or action if determined adversely to Trustor, may defend same, or otherwise take such action therein as the Trustee or Beneficiary may be advised and may pay and expend such sums of money as the Trustee or Beneficiary may deem to be necessary and Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Trustee and Beneficiary incurred in connection therewith.
18. Performance by Trustee or Beneficiary. If Trustor fails to make any payment or perform any act as and in the manner provided in any of the Transaction Documents, then the Trustee or Beneficiary, at the election of either of them and without any obligation to do so, after the giving of reasonable notice to the Trustor, or any successor in interest of the Trustor, or any of them and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, may make such payment or perform such act and incur any liability, or expend whatever amounts not prohibited by the Indenture. In connection therewith (without limiting their general and other powers, whether conferred herein, in another Transaction Document or by law), Beneficiary and Trustee, and each of them, shall have and are hereby given the right, but not the obligation, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Property; (ii) to make additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Property which they or either of them may consider necessary or proper to keep the Property in good condition and repair; (iii) to appear and participate in any action or proceeding affecting or which may affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iv) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or debt which in the judgment of either may affect or appears to affect the security of this Deed of Trust or to be prior or superior hereto; and (v) in exercising such powers, to pay necessary expenses, including employment of counsel and other necessary or desirable consultants. All sums incurred or expended by the Trustee or Beneficiary, under the terms hereof (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs of evidence of title, court costs, appraisals, surveys, and receiver’s, Trustee’s and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys for Trustee), whether or not an action is actually commenced in connection therewith), shall become due and payable by the Trustor to the Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case may be, on the next interest or installment payment date under the Notes secured hereby and shall bear interest until paid at an annual percentage rate equal to the Agreed Rate. In no event shall payment by Trustee or Beneficiary be construed as a waiver of the default occasioned by Trustor’s failure to make such payment or payments.
19. Inspections. Beneficiary, or its agents, representatives or workers, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon or in any part of the Property for the purpose of inspecting the same and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform hereunder or under the terms of any of the Transaction Documents.
20. Invalidity of Lien. If the lien of this Deed of Trust is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations, or if the lien is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Property, the unsecured or partially secured portion of such Secured Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or partially secured portion of such Secured Obligations, and all payments made on such Secured Obligations, whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure, shall be considered to have been first paid on and applied to the full payment of
24
that portion of such Secured Obligations which is not secured or is not fully secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
21. Subrogation. To the extent that proceeds of the Notes or other sums advanced by Beneficiary are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds shall be deemed to have been advanced by Beneficiary at Trustor’s request and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any and all rights and liens held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and prior encumbrances, regardless of whether said liens, charges or encumbrances are released.
22. Events of Default. Trustor will be in default under this Deed of Trust upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (some or all collectively, “Events of Default”; any one singly, an “Event of Default”):
(a) Failure to Pay. Any amount due under any of the Notes, the Indenture, this Deed of Trust or any other Transaction Document, or any other amount the payment of which is secured hereby, is not paid when due; or
(b) Other Breaches Hereof. A breach by Trustor of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Deed of Trust which is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Trustor of notice of such breach; or
(c) Future Advances. Trustor or any other “borrower” (as that term is defined in NRS 106.310, as amended or recodified from time to time) who may send a notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), as amended or recodified from time to time with respect to this Deed of Trust, (i) delivers, sends by mail or otherwise gives, or purports to deliver, send by mail or otherwise give, to Beneficiary, (A) any notice of an election to terminate the operation of this Deed of Trust as security for any Secured Obligation, including any obligation to repay any “future advance” (as defined in NRS 106.320, as amended or recodified from time to time) of “principal” (as defined in NRS 106.345, as amended or recodified from time to time), or (B) any other notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), as amended or recodified from time to time, (ii) records a statement pursuant to NRS 106.380(3), as amended or recodified from time to time, or (iii) causes this Deed of Trust, any Secured Obligation, or Beneficiary to be subject to NRS 106.380(2), 106.380(3) or 106.400, each as amended or recodified from time to time; or
(d) Defaults Under Other Transaction Documents. The occurrence under any of the Transaction Documents of an “Event of Default” (as defined therein).
23. Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement Beneficiary and Trustee will be entitled to invoke any and all of the following rights and remedies, all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall not constitute an election of remedies:
(a) Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind.
25
(b) Receiver. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property or any part thereof, without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under Trustor, and without regard to the then value of the Property or the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein and in the Indenture and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the later of (i) the date of confirmation of sale of all of the Property; (ii) the disbursement of all proceeds of the Property collected by such receiver and the payment of all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or (iii) the termination of such receivership with the consent of Beneficiary, acting in accordance with the Indenture, or pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Beneficiary may also request, in connection with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Nevada Gaming Commission petition a District Court of the State of Nevada for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal gaming activities on the Property following such foreclosure proceeding.
(c) Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may do pursuant to the Indenture which are necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other things may include, among other things, any of the following: taking and possessing all of Trustor’s or the then owner’s books and records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Real Property in violation of the Transaction Documents and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Real Property. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor’s attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents in accordance with the Indenture in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name on any instruments, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate Beneficiary to take any such action. Regardless of any provision of this Deed of Trust or the Indenture, Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any property other than cash or immediately available funds in satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary, unless Beneficiary has given express written notice of Beneficiary’s election of that remedy in accordance with the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as it may be amended or recodified from time to time.
(d) Cure; Protection of Security. Either Beneficiary or Trustee may cure any breach or default of Trustor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary or Trustee may also enter the Property and, whether or not Beneficiary or Trustee enter the Property, do any and all other things which it, in its sole discretion, may consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of
26
lien which in Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary or Trustee to be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under this Deed of Trust; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary or Trustee. Beneficiary and Trustee may take any of the actions permitted under this Subsection either with or without giving notice to any person.
(e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. With respect to Personal Property, Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under NRS Section 104.9101 et seq. (the Nevada enactment of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code), together with any and all other rights and remedies provided in the Security Agreement.
(f) Judicial Action. Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or agreements of this Deed of Trust or for any other remedy provided herein, in the Indenture, in any Transaction Document or otherwise provided by law or in equity.
(g) Power of Sale. Under the power of sale herein granted, Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law and the Indenture.
(i) Sales of Personal Property.
(A) For purposes of the power of sale herein granted, Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If Beneficiary chooses to do so, Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of real property, in any manner permitted by or under the NRS, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law.
(B) The following provision shall apply in the absence of any specific statutory requirement which permits or requires a different notice period: In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Trustor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale to Trustor not later than ten (10) days prior to such sale. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will, to the extent reasonably practicable, make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours prior to the sale. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.
27
(ii) Trustee’s Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.
(A) Beneficiary may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which consists solely of real property in any manner then permitted by applicable law. In its discretion, Beneficiary may also or alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the Property, in any combination consisting of both real and personal property, together in one sale to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property. Trustor agrees that any sale of personal property together with real property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the personal property. For purposes of this power of sale, either a sale of real property alone, or a sale of both real and personal property together in accordance with law, will sometimes be referred to as a “Trustee’s Sale.”
(B) Before any Trustee’s Sale, Beneficiary or Trustee shall give and record such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Trustee shall sell the property being sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to make demand on Trustor before any Trustee’s Sale. From time to time, in accordance with then applicable law, Trustee may, and in any event at Beneficiary’s request shall, postpone any Trustee’s sale by public announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.
(C) At any Trustee’s Sale, Trustee shall sell to the highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of the United States. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the property being sold without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied. The recitals in any such deed of any matters or facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or validity of any Trustee’s Sale, shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive against all persons as to the facts recited in it.
(h) Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property at the time of sale or other disposition consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Beneficiary may:
(i) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and
(ii) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels or items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held or made under the power of sale herein granted, or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner that Beneficiary may deem to be in its best
28
interests (any such sale or disposition, a “Foreclosure Sale;” any two or more, “Foreclosure Sales”).
If Beneficiary chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Beneficiary at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at such different times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
24. Costs of Enforcement. If an installment of principal or interest on the Notes is not paid when due or if any other Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary and Trustee, and each of them, may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect their rights hereunder. Trustor promises to pay to Beneficiary, on demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of such attorneys and all other costs of enforcing the obligations secured hereby, including but not limited to, recording fees, the expense of a Trustee’s Sale Guarantee, Trustee’s fees and expenses, receivers’ fees and expenses, and all other expenses, of whatever kind or nature, incurred by Beneficiary and Trustee, and each of them, in connection with the enforcement of the obligations secured hereby, whether or not such enforcement includes the filing of a lawsuit. Until paid, such sums shall be secured hereby and shall bear interest, from date of expenditure, at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate.
25. Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed of Trust or under any Transaction Document or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the said indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Trustee’s or Beneficiary’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce this Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee in such order that is in accordance with the Indenture. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Transaction Documents to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue inconsistent remedies.
26. Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle therefor by crediting such portion of the following obligations against the sales price of the property as is necessary to equal such price:
29
(a) First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents; and
(b) Second, any of the other Secured Obligations, in any order and proportion as Beneficiary, according to the Indenture, may elect.
27. Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary and Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner:
(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other Transaction Document;
(b) Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Beneficiary or Trustee under the terms of this Deed of Trust which then remain unpaid;
(c) Third, to pay any and all other Secured Obligations, in any order and proportion as Beneficiary, according to the Indenture, may elect; and
(d) Fourth, the remainder, if any, shall be remitted to the person or persons entitled to it.
28. Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums, other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale, which Beneficiary may receive or collect, in the following manner:
(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Trustee, Beneficiary or any receiver;
(b) Second, to pay any and all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportion as Beneficiary, according to the Indenture, may elect; and
(c) Third, the remainder, if any, shall be remitted to the person or persons entitled to it.
Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.
29. Incorporation of Certain Nevada Covenants. The following covenants, Nos. 1, 3, 4 (at the Agreed Rate), 6, 7 (reasonable percentage), 8 and 9 of NRS 107.030, where not in conflict with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, are hereby adopted and made a part of this Deed of Trust. Upon any Event of Default by Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary may (a) declare all sums secured immediately due and payable without demand or notice or (b) have a receiver appointed as a matter of right without regard to the sufficiency of said property or any other security or guaranty and without any showing as required by NRS
30
§107.100. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or afforded by law or equity and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively. The sale of said property conducted pursuant to Covenants Nos. 6, 7 and 8 of NRS §107.030 may be conducted either as to the whole of said property or in separate parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine.
30. Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary or assigns may, from time to time, by a written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, recorded in the county in which the Real Property is located and otherwise complying with applicable law, appoint a successor trustee or trustees to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, to execute the trust created by the Deed of Trust or other conveyance in trust. Upon the recording of such instrument, the new trustee or trustees shall, without conveyance from the predecessor trustee, be vested with all the title, estate, interest, rights, powers, duties and trusts in the premises vested in or conferred upon the predecessor trustee. If there be more than one trustee, either may act alone and execute the trusts upon the request of the Beneficiary, and all his acts thereunder shall be deemed to be the acts of all trustees, and the recital in any conveyance executed by such sole trustee of such request shall be conclusive evidence thereof, and of the authority of such sole trustee to act.
31. Binding Nature. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of and binds Trustor and the heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, personal representatives, executors and the successors and assigns thereof, Trustee and Beneficiary. As used herein, the term “Beneficiary” shall include the owners and holders of the Notes and other Secured Obligations from time to time, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein (it being expressly agreed, however, that Beneficiary may act through an agent; that only the signature of such agent is required on any amendment hereof or any consent, approval or other action hereunder; and that The Bank of New York, is the initial such agent hereunder); the term “Trustee” shall mean the trustee appointed hereunder from time to time, whether or not notice of such appointment is given; and the term “Trustor” shall mean the Trustor named herein and the successors-in-interest, if any, of said named Trustor, in and to the Property or any part thereof. If there be more than one Trustor hereunder, their obligations hereunder shall be joint and several. It is expressly agreed that the Trust created hereby is irrevocable by Trustor.
32. Acceptance of Trust; Resignation by Trustee. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law, reserving, however, unto the Trustee, the right to resign from the duties and obligations imposed herein whenever Trustee, in its sole discretion, deems such resignation to be in the best interest of the Trustee. Written notice of such resignation shall be given to Trustor and Beneficiary.
33. Full Performance Required; Survival of Warranties. All representations, warranties and covenants of Trustor contained in any loan application or made to Beneficiary in connection with the loan secured hereby or contained in any of the Transaction Documents or incorporated by reference therein, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and shall remain continuing obligations, warranties and representations of Trustor so long as any portion of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust remains outstanding.
31
34. Waiver of Certain Rights By Trustor. Trustor waives, to the extent permitted by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Property, (ii) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created, and (iii) all rights and remedies which Trustor may have or be able to assert by reason of the laws of the State of Nevada pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights (including any rights provided by NRS 100.040 and 100.050) to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Property or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for the indebtedness secured hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or of any other security for any of such indebtedness.
35. Construction. The language in all parts of this Deed of Trust shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Headings at the beginning of Sections, Subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Deed of Trust are solely for the convenience of the parties, are not a part hereof and shall not be used in construing this Deed of Trust. The preamble, any recitals and all exhibits and schedules to this Deed of Trust are part of this Deed of Trust and are incorporated herein by this reference. When required by the context: whenever the singular number is used in this Deed of Trust, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular; and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa. Unless otherwise required by the context (or otherwise provided herein): the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and similar words shall refer to this Deed of Trust generally and not merely to the provision in which such term is used; the word “person” shall include individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business trust, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated association, joint venture, governmental authority and other entity of whatever nature; the words “including”, “include” or “includes” shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words “but [is] not limited to” or “but without limiting the generality of the foregoing” or “without limitation” immediately followed the same; the word “month” shall mean calendar month; and the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Nevada. If the day on which performance of any act or the occurrence of any event hereunder is due is not a business day, the time when such performance or occurrence shall be due shall be the first business day occurring after the day on which performance or occurrence would otherwise be due hereunder. All times provided in this Deed of Trust for the performance of any act will be strictly construed, time being of the essence hereof.
36. Priority. This Deed of Trust is intended to have, and retain, priority over all other liens and encumbrances upon the Real Property, excepting only: (i) such Impositions as, at the date hereof, have, or, by law, gain, priority over the lien created hereby; (ii) covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, rights of way and Leases which are of record or are disclosed of record and which, on the date hereof, affect the Real Property and are superior in right to or have priority over this Deed of Trust; (iii) Leases, liens, encumbrances and other matters as to which Beneficiary hereafter expressly subordinates the lien of this Deed of Trust by written instrument in recordable form and (iv) pursuant to the terms of the
32
Intercreditor Agreement, such Indebtedness as is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture to be incurred or remain outstanding under the New Credit Facility. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary be obligated or required to subordinate the lien hereof to any lien, encumbrance, covenant or other matter affecting the Real Property or any portion thereof. Beneficiary may, however, at Beneficiary’s option, exercisable in accordance with the Indenture, subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust, in whole or in part, to any or all Leases, liens, encumbrances or other matters affecting all or any portion of the Real Property, by executing and recording, in the Office of the County Recorder of the county or counties in which the Real Property is located, a unilateral declaration of such subordination specifying the Lease, lien, encumbrance or other matter or matters to which this Deed of Trust shall thereafter be subordinate.
