1.5 Insurance.
(a) Hazard Insurance Requirements and Proceeds.
(1) Hazard Insurance. Trustor shall at its sole expense obtain for, deliver to, assign and maintain for the benefit of Beneficiary, during the term of this Deed of Trust, insurance policies insuring the Trust Estate and liability insurance policies, all in accordance with the requirements of the Mortgage Notes Indenture. Trustor shall pay promptly when due any premiums on such insurance policies and on any renewals thereof. In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or any other transfer of title to the Trust Estate in partial or complete extinguishment of the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Beneficiary in and to all insurance policies and renewals thereof then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.
(2) Handling of Proceeds. All Proceeds from any insurance policies shall be collected, held, handled and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the Disbursement Agreement (while in effect). All proceeds of insurance allocable to Trustor, as owner of the Site, and attributable to business interruption insurance shall be collected, held, handled and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the Disbursement Agreement. Any such proceeds disbursed to Beneficiary shall be applied to pay amounts then due and payable under this Deed of Trust. The balance shall be retained by Beneficiary or its designee in an interest bearing or other investment account approved by Beneficiary, which account Trustor hereby pledges to Beneficiary to secure the Obligations. Disbursements shall be permitted from such account to pay expenses reasonably incurred by Trustor in owning and operating the Trust Estate, as reasonably approved by Beneficiary.
(b) Compliance with Insurance Policies. Trustor shall not violate or permit to be violated any of the conditions or provisions of any policy of insurance required by the Mortgage Notes Indenture or this Deed of Trust and Trustor shall so perform and satisfy the requirements of the companies writing such policies that, at all times, companies of good standing shall be willing to write and/or continue such insurance. Trustor further covenants to promptly send to Beneficiary all notices relating to any violation of such policies or otherwise affecting Trustor's insurance coverage or ability to obtain and maintain such insurance coverage.
1.6 Condemnation. Beneficiary is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own or Trustor's name any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith, and Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to take any action in Trustor's name pursuant to Beneficiary's rights hereunder.
11
Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, Trustor shall notify the Trustee and Beneficiary of the pendency of such proceedings. Trustor from time to time shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary all instruments requested by it to permit such participation; provided, however, that such instruments shall be deemed as supplemental to the foregoing grant of permission to Trustee and Beneficiary, and unless otherwise required, the foregoing permission shall, without more, be deemed sufficient to permit Trustee and/or Beneficiary to participate in such proceedings on behalf of Trustor. All such compensation awards, damages, claims, rights of action and Proceeds, and any other payments or relief, and the right thereto, are, whether paid to Beneficiary or Trustor or a third party trustee, included in the Trust Estate. Beneficiary, after deducting therefrom all its expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, shall apply all Proceeds paid directly to it in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture. All Proceeds paid directly to the Trustor shall be applied, if received by Trustor prior to the Final Completion Date, in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement and, if received on or after the Final Completion Date, in accordance with the Mortgage Notes Indenture. To the extent that any condemnation proceeds are not required to be applied towards restoration of the improvements upon the Site, then Beneficiary shall have the right to apply said condemnation proceeds towards repayment of the Obligations. Trustor hereby waives any rights it may have under NRS 37.115, as amended or recodified from time to time.
1.7 Care of Trust Estate.
(a) Trustor shall preserve and maintain the Trust Estate in good condition and repair. Trustor shall not permit, commit or suffer to exist any waste, impairment or deterioration of the Trust Estate or of any part thereof that in any manner materially impairs Beneficiary's security hereunder and shall not take any action which will increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Trust Estate or to any part thereof.
(b) Except for Permitted Dispositions, no material part of the Improvements or Tangible Collateral that are part of the Trust Estate shall be removed, demolished or materially altered, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Trustor shall have the right, without such consent, to remove and dispose of free from the lien of this Deed of Trust any part of the Improvements or Tangible Collateral that are part of the Trust Estate as from time to time may become worn out or obsolete or otherwise not useful in connection with the operation of the Trust Estate, provided that either (i) such removal or disposition does not materially affect the value of the Trust Estate or (ii) prior to or promptly following such removal, any such property shall be replaced with other property of substantially equal utility and of a value at least substantially equal to that of the replaced property when first acquired and free from any security interest of any other person (subject only to Permitted Liens), and by such removal and replacement Trustor shall be deemed to have subjected such replacement property to the lien of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.7, the Trustor may develop the Project in the manner contemplated by the Disbursement Agreement, the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents.
1.8 Leases.
(a) Trustor represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) except for the assignment effected hereby and in the other Financing Agreements, Trustor has not executed any assignment or pledge of any of Space Leases, the Rents, or of Trustor's right, title and interest in the same; and
12
(ii) this Deed of Trust does not and will not constitute a violation or default under any Space Lease, and is and shall at all times constitute a valid lien on Trustor's interests in the Space Leases.
(b) Trustor shall not enter into any Space Lease or any modifications or amendments to any Space Lease, either orally or in writing, unless such Space Lease complies with the requirements of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the Second Mortgage Notes Security Documents.
(c) After an Event of Default, upon the request of Beneficiary Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary executed copies of all Space Leases.
1.9 Further Encumbrance.
(a) Trustor covenants that at all times prior to the discharge of the Obligations, except for Permitted Liens and Permitted Dispositions, Trustor shall neither make nor suffer to exist, nor enter into any agreement for, any sale, assignment, exchange, mortgage, transfer, Lien, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any part of the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, the Rents. As used herein, "transfer" includes the actual transfer or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, by law, or otherwise, except those transfers specifically permitted herein, provided, however, that "transfer" shall not include the granting of utility or other beneficial easements with respect to the Trust Estate which have been or are granted by Trustor and are reasonably necessary to the construction, maintenance or operation of the Project.
(b) Any Permitted Lien consisting of the lien of a deed of trust which is junior to the lien of the Indenture Documents (a "Subordinate Deed of Trust") shall be permitted hereunder so long as there shall have been delivered to Beneficiary, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date thereof, a copy thereof which shall contain express covenants in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary to the effect that: (i) the Subordinate Deed of Trust is in all respects subject and subordinate to this Deed of Trust; (ii) if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Deed of Trust (regardless of whether the same is a judicial proceeding or pursuant to a power of sale contained therein), no tenant of any portion of the Trust Estate shall be named as a party defendant nor shall any action be taken with respect to the Trust Estate which would terminate any occupancy or tenancy of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, without the consent of Beneficiary; (iii) any Rents, if collected through a receiver or by the holder of the Subordinate Deed of Trust, shall be applied first to the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including principal and interest due and owing on or to become due and owing on the Notes or the other Indenture Documents, and then to the payment of maintenance expenses, operating charges, taxes, assessments, and disbursements incurred in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Trust Estate; and (iv) if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Deed of Trust, prompt notice of the commencement thereof shall be given to Beneficiary.
(c) Trustor agrees that in the event the ownership of the Trust Estate or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Trustor, Beneficiary may, without notice to Trustor, deal in any way with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust, the Notes, the other Indenture Documents and other Obligations hereby secured without in any way vitiating or discharging Trustor's or any guarantor's, surety's or endorser's liability hereunder or upon the obligations hereby secured. No sale of the Trust Estate and no forbearance to any person with respect to this Deed of Trust and no extension to any person of the time for payment of the Obligations, and other sums hereby secured given by Beneficiary shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Trustor, or such guarantor, surety or endorser either in whole or in part.
13
(d) If Trustor shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it under any FF&E Financing Agreement, except where Trustor is contesting such payment in good faith, then the Beneficiary shall be entitled to make such payment on Trustor's behalf and any and all sums so expended by the Beneficiary shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be repaid by Trustor upon demand, together with interest thereon at the interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture from the date of advance.
1.10 Partial Releases of Trust Estate.
(a) Trustor may from time to time make a Permitted Disposition including, but not limited to, (i) transferring a portion of the Trust Estate (including any temporary taking) to any person legally empowered to exercise the power of eminent domain, or pursuant to dedication agreements that are now in effect or entered into in the future in connection with the development of the Project, (ii) granting utility easements reasonably necessary or desirable for the construction and/or operation of the Project, which grant or transfer is for the benefit of the Trust Estate, or (iii) transferring a portion of the Trust Estate as permitted pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement. In each such case, Beneficiary shall execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to effectuate or confirm any such transfer or grant, free from the lien of this Deed of Trust, provided, however, that Beneficiary shall execute a lien release or subordination agreement, as appropriate, for matters described in clauses (i) and (iii) above only if:
(A) Such transfer, grant or release is not prohibited by the Mortgage Notes Indenture and all conditions precedent contained in the Mortgage Notes Indenture for such transfer, grant or release, if any, shall have been satisfied;
(B) Beneficiary and Trustee shall have received a counterpart of the instrument pursuant to which such transfer, grant or release is to be made, and each instrument which Beneficiary or Trustee is requested to execute in order to effectuate or confirm such transfer, grant or release; and
(C) Beneficiary and Trustee shall have received an Officer's Certificate if required pursuant to the Mortgage Notes Indenture.
(b) Any consideration received for a transfer to any person empowered to exercise the right of eminent domain shall be subject to Section 1.6 hereof.
1.11 Further Assurances.
(a) At its sole cost and without expense to Trustee or Beneficiary, and subject in all events to compliance with the Nevada Gaming Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, Trustor shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, notices, requests for notices, financing statements, continuation statements, certificates, assignments, notices of assignments, agreements, instruments and further assurances, and shall xxxx any chattel paper, deliver any chattel paper or instruments to Beneficiary and take any other actions that are necessary, prudent, or reasonably requested by Beneficiary or Trustee to perfect or continue the perfection and first priority of Beneficiary's security interest in the Trust Estate, to protect the Trust Estate against the rights, claims, or interests of third persons other than holders of Permitted Liens or to effect the purposes of this Deed of Trust, including the security agreement and the absolute assignment of Rents contained herein, or for the filing, registering or recording thereof.
(b) Trustor shall forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, and thereafter from time to time, cause this Deed of Trust and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, indexed, registered, recorded, given or delivered in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien hereof upon, and the title of Trustee and/or Beneficiary to, the Trust Estate.
14
1.12 Security Agreement and Financing Statements. Trustor (as debtor) hereby grants to Beneficiary (as creditor and secured party) a present and future security interest in all Tangible Collateral, Intangible Collateral, FF&E, Improvements, all other personal property now or hereafter owned or leased by Trustor or in which Trustor has or will have any interest, to the extent that such property constitutes a part of the Trust Estate (whether or not such items are stored on the premises or elsewhere), Proceeds of the foregoing comprising a portion of the Trust Estate and all products, substitutions, and accessions therefor and thereto, subject to Beneficiary's rights to treat such property as real property as herein provided (collectively, the "Personal Property"). Trustor shall execute and/or deliver any and all documents and writings, including without limitation financing statements pursuant to the UCC, as may be necessary or prudent to preserve and maintain the priority of the security interest granted hereby on property which may be deemed subject to the foregoing security agreement or as Beneficiary may reasonably request, and shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any reasonable expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of any such documents. Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary to file, on Trustor's behalf, all financing statements and refiling and continuations thereof as advisable to create, preserve and protect said security interest. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, authenticate or file, or authorize the filing of, any financing statements or other record with respect to the Personal Property (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), except as permitted by the Indenture Documents. Trustor approves and ratifies any filing or recording of records made by or on behalf of Beneficiary in connection with the perfection of the security interest in favor of Beneficiary hereunder. This Deed of Trust constitutes both a real property deed of trust and a "security agreement," within the meaning of the UCC, and the Trust Estate includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Trust Estate. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted to Beneficiary, as security of the Obligations, a security interest in the Trust Estate.
(a) Fixture Filing. Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph or of the definition of the Trust Estate, this Deed of Trust constitutes a fixture filing under Sections 9-334 and 9-502 of the UCC (NRS 104.9334 and 104.9502). For such purposes, (i) the "debtor" is Trustor and its address is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust; (ii) the "secured party" is Beneficiary, and its address for the purpose of obtaining information is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust; (iii) the real estate to which the fixtures are or are to become attached is Trustor's interest in the Site; and (iv) the record owner of such real estate is Trustor.
(b) Remedies. This Deed of Trust shall be deemed a security agreement as defined in the UCC and the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall include any or all of (i) those prescribed herein, and (ii) those available under applicable law, and (iii) those available under the UCC, all at Beneficiary's sole election. In addition, a photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing wherever filing may be necessary to perfect or continue the security interest granted herein.
(c) Derogation of Real Property. It is the intention of the parties that the filing of a financing statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in anyway derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties hereto as hereinabove stated that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Trust Estate and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real property encumbered by this Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital
15
contained herein or in any list filed with Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. It is the intention of the parties that the mention in any such financing statement of (1) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Trustor's interest as lessors in any present or future Space Lease or rights to Rents, shall never be construed as in anyway altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this Deed of Trust or impugning the priority of Beneficiary's real property lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) that notice of Beneficiary's priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to, the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government, must be filed in the UCC records.
(d) Priority; Permitted Financing of Tangible Collateral. All Personal Property of any nature whatsoever which is subject to the provisions of this security agreement shall be purchased or obtained by Trustor in its name and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, except for Permitted Liens and the lien hereof, for use only in connection with the business and operation of the Project, and shall be and at all times remain free and clear of any lease or similar arrangement, chattel financing, installment sale agreement, security agreement and any encumbrance of like kind, so that Beneficiary's security interest shall attach to and vest in Trustor for the benefit of Beneficiary, with the priority herein specified, immediately upon the installation or use of the Personal Property at the Site and Trustor warrants and represents that Beneficiary's security interest in the Personal Property is a validly attached and binding security interest, properly perfected and prior to all other security interests therein except as otherwise permitted in this Deed of Trust. The foregoing shall not be construed as limiting Trustor's rights to transfer Personal Property pursuant to Permitted Dispositions or to obtain releases of Personal Property from the Lien of this Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof.
(e) Preservation of Contractual Rights of Collateral. Trustor shall, prior to delinquency, default, or forfeiture, perform all obligations and satisfy all material conditions required on its part to be satisfied to preserve its rights and privileges under any contract, lease, license, permit, or other authorization (i) under which it holds any Tangible Collateral or (ii) which constitutes part of the Intangible Collateral, except where Trustor is contesting such obligations in good faith.
(f) Removal of Collateral. Except for damaged or obsolete Tangible Collateral which is either no longer usable or which is removed temporarily for repair or improvement or removed for replacement on the Trust Estate with Tangible Collateral of similar function or as otherwise permitted herein, none of the Tangible Collateral shall be removed from the Trust Estate without Beneficiary's prior written consent.
(g) Change of Name. Trustor shall not change its corporate (or other entity) or business name, or do business within the State of Nevada under any name other than such name, or any trade name(s) other than those as to which Trustor gives prior written notice to Beneficiary of its intent to use such trade names, or any other business names (if any) specified in the financing statements delivered to Beneficiary for filing in connection with the execution hereof, without, in each case, providing Beneficiary with the additional financing statement(s) and any other similar documents deemed reasonably necessary by Beneficiary to assure that its security interest remains perfected and of undiminished priority in all such Personal Property notwithstanding such name change.
1.13 Assignment of Leases and Rents. Subject to Nevada Gaming Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, the assignment of Leases and Rents set out above in Granting Clause (G) shall

constitute an absolute and present assignment to Beneficiary, subject to the license herein given to Trustor to collect the Rents, and shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of any party, and specifically Beneficiary shall be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder to all Rents and to enter upon the Site and the Improvements to collect such Rents, provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be obligated to take possession of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof. The absolute assignment contained in Granting Clause (G) shall not be deemed to impose upon Beneficiary any of the obligations or duties of Trustor provided in any such Space Lease (including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any lease in the event that any lessee shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title and interest and equity of redemption in the Trust Estate or any part thereof).
1.14 Expenses.
(a) Trustor shall pay when due and payable all out-of-pocket costs, including without limitation, those reasonable appraisal fees, recording fees, taxes, abstract fees, title policy fees, escrow fees, attorneys' and paralegal fees, travel expenses, fees for inspecting architect(s) and engineer(s) and all other costs and expenses of every character which may hereafter be incurred by Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary in connection with the preparation and execution of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents to which Trustor is a party or instruments, agreements or documents of further assurance, the funding of the indebtedness secured hereby, and the enforcement of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document to which Trustor is a party. Other than costs associated with the enforcement of any Indenture Document, all such costs shall be itemized in reasonable detail; and
(b) Trustor shall, upon demand by Beneficiary, reimburse Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary for all such reasonable expenses which have been incurred or which shall be incurred by it; and
(c) Trustor shall indemnify Beneficiary with respect to any transaction or matter in any way connected with any portion of the Trust Estate, this Deed of Trust, including any occurrence at, in, on, upon or about the Trust Estate (including any personal injury, loss of life, or property damage), or Trustor's use, occupancy, or operation of the Trust Estate, or the filing or enforcement of any mechanic's lien, or otherwise caused in whole or in part by any act, omission or negligence occurring on or at the Trust Estate, including failure to comply with any Legal Requirement or with any requirement of this Deed of Trust that applies to Trustor, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Trustee or Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a party to any litigation as to which either Trustor is required to indemnify Beneficiary (or is made a defendant in any action of any kind against Trustor or relating directly or indirectly to any portion of the Trust Estate) then, at Beneficiary's option, Trustor shall undertake Beneficiary's defense, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary (and any settlement shall be subject to Beneficiary's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in any case shall indemnify Beneficiary against such litigation. Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal costs, that Beneficiary pays or incurs in connection with any such litigation. Any amount payable under any indemnity in this Deed of Trust shall be a demand obligation, shall be added to, and become a part of, the secured obligations under this Deed of Trust, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest at the interest rate specified in the Mortgage Notes Indenture. Such indemnity shall survive any release of this Deed of Trust and any foreclosure.
1.15 Beneficiary's Cure of Trustor's Default. If Trustor defaults hereunder in the payment of any tax, assessment, lien, encumbrance or other Imposition, in its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder, or in the performance or observance of any other covenant, condition or term of this Deed of Trust or
17
any other Financing Agreement or any FF&E Financing Agreement, Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, to preserve its interest in the Trust Estate, perform or observe the same, and all payments made (whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments) and reasonable costs and expenses incurred or paid by Beneficiary in connection therewith shall become due and payable immediately. The amounts so incurred or paid by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture, from the date incurred until paid by Trustor, shall be added to the indebtedness and secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary, is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Site or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term, without thereby becoming liable to Trustor or any person in possession holding under Trustor. No exercise of any rights under this Section 1.15 by Beneficiary shall cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.
1.16 Use of Land. Trustor covenants that the Trust Estate shall be used and operated in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Indenture Documents.
1.17 Compliance with Permitted Lien Agreements. Trustor shall comply with each and every material obligation contained in any agreement pertaining to a Permitted Lien.
1.18 Defense of Actions. Trustor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding affecting or purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including cost of title search and insurance or other evidence of title, preparation of survey, and reasonable attorneys' fees in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear or may be joined as a party and in any suit brought by Beneficiary based upon or in connection with this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document to which Trustor is a party. Nothing contained in this section shall, however, limit the right of Beneficiary to appear in such action or proceeding with counsel of its own choice, either on its own behalf or on behalf of Trustor.
1.19 Affiliates.
(a) Subject to Trust Deed. Subject to compliance with the requirements of applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, Trustor shall cause all of its Affiliates in any way involved with the operation of the Trust Estate or the Project to observe the covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust to the extent necessary to give the full intended effect to such covenants and conditions and to protect and preserve the security of Beneficiary hereunder. Trustor shall, at Beneficiary's request, cause any such Affiliate to execute and deliver to Beneficiary or Trustee such further instruments or documents as Beneficiary may reasonably deem necessary to effectuate the terms of this Section 1.19.
(b) Restriction on Use of Subsidiary or Affiliate. Except as permitted under the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the other Indenture Documents, Trustor shall not use any Affiliate in the operation of the Trust Estate or the Project if such use would in any way impair the security for the Obligations or circumvent any covenant or condition of this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or of any other Indenture Document.
1.20 Title Insurance. Promptly after the execution of this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall cause to be delivered to Trustee at Trustor's expense, one or more ALTA extended coverage Lender's Policies of Title Insurance showing fee title to the real property situated in the County of Xxxxx, State of Nevada, more specifically described in Schedule A attached hereto, vested in Trustor and the lien of this Deed of Trust to be a perfected lien, prior to any and all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (excluding, however, any such non-Permitted Encumbrances for which the Title Insurer has agreed to
18
provide an endorsement or affirmative coverage protecting the lien of this Deed of Trust against such non-Permitted Encumbrances).
ARTICLE TWO
MORTGAGE NOTES INDENTURE PROVISIONS
2.1 Interaction with Mortgage Notes Indenture
(a) Incorporation by Reference. All terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and requirements of the Mortgage Notes Indenture are incorporated by reference in this Deed of Trust.
(b) Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Deed of Trust and those of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the Disbursement Agreement, the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the Disbursement Agreement, as applicable, shall govern.
2.2 Other Collateral. This Deed of Trust is one of a number of security agreements delivered by or on behalf of Trustor and other Persons pursuant to the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents and securing the Obligations secured hereunder. All potential junior Lien claimants are placed on notice that, under any of the Indenture Documents (including a separate future unrecorded agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary), other collateral for the Obligations secured hereunder (i.e., collateral other than the Trust Estate) may, under certain circumstances, be released without a corresponding reduction in the total principal amount secured by this Deed of Trust. Such a release would decrease the amount of collateral securing the same indebtedness, thereby increasing the burden on the remaining Trust Estate created and continued by this Deed of Trust. No such release shall impair the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust. By accepting its interest in the Trust Estate, each and every junior Lien claimant shall be deemed to have acknowledged the possibility of, and consented to, any such release. Nothing in this paragraph shall impose any obligation upon Beneficiary.
2.3 Subordination to Bank Deed of Trust.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the security interest granted herein, the rights, power and remedies of the Trustee and the Beneficiary and the obligations of Trustor set forth herein, shall, to the extent provided in the Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement, be subject and subordinate to the Bank Palo Deed of Trust.
19
3.1 Event of Default. The term "Event of Default," wherever used in this Deed of Trust, shall mean any of (i) one or more of the events of default listed in the Mortgage Notes Indenture or (ii) so long as the Disbursement Agreement is in effect, one or more of the events of default listed in the Disbursement Agreement (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body).
ARTICLE FOUR
REMEDIES
4.1 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may (except that such acceleration shall be automatic if the Event of Default is caused by any Issuer's or Trustor's Bankruptcy), in accordance with the Indenture Documents, declare the Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration such principal and interest and other sums shall immediately become due and payable without demand, presentment, notice or other requirements of any kind (all of which Trustor waives) notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust or any Indenture Document or applicable law to the contrary.
4.2 Protective Advances. If any Issuer or Trustor fails to make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Financing Agreement, then without thereby limiting Beneficiary's other rights or remedies, waiving or releasing any of Trustor's obligations, or imposing any obligation on Beneficiary, Beneficiary may either advance any amount owing or perform any or all actions that Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate to cure such default. All such advances shall constitute "Protective Advances." No sums advanced or performance rendered by Beneficiary shall cure, or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default.
4.3 Institution of Equity Proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for specific performance of this Deed of Trust, the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document, all of which shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or other equitable remedy. Trustor waives any defense based on laches or any applicable statute of limitations.
4.4 Beneficiary's Power of Enforcement.
(a) If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, to prepare and record on its own behalf, or to deliver to Trustee for recording, if appropriate, written declaration of default and demand for sale and written Notice of Breach and Election to Sell (NRS 107.080(3)) (or other statutory notice) to cause the Trust Estate to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and in the case of delivery to Trustee, Trustee shall cause said notice to be filed for record.
(b) After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said Notice of Breach and Election to Sell, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, including compliance with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, Trustee without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof at the time and place fixed by it in said notice, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder, of cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee may, for any cause it deems expedient, postpone the sale of all or any portion of said property until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of postponement shall be given by public announcement thereof at the time and place last appointed for the sale and from time to time thereafter Trustee may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser its Deed, Xxxx of Sale,
20
or other instrument conveying said property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such instrument of conveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale.
(c) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses of Trustee or Beneficiary in connection with a sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture to the payment of all other sums then secured hereby and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto as provided in NRS 40.462.
(d) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if any Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Trust Estate, and without regard to whether or not the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action or proceeding to foreclose or any other action for any default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding: (1) to enforce payment of the Obligations, to the extent permitted by law, or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (2) to foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages or deeds of trust on real property and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada or under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in any such proceeding all costs and expenses incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees in such amount as shall be awarded by the court; (3) to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Indenture Documents; and (4) to pursue any other remedy available to it. Beneficiary shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Beneficiary may determine.
(e) The remedies described in this Section 4.4 may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the Personal Property, either simultaneously with the sale of any real property encumbered hereby or independent thereof. Beneficiary shall at any time be permitted to proceed with respect to all or any portion of the Personal Property in any manner permitted by the UCC. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary's inclusion of all or any portion of the Personal Property (and all personal property that is subject to a security interest in favor, or for the benefit, of Beneficiary) in a sale or other remedy exercised with respect to the real property encumbered hereby, as permitted by the UCC, is a commercially reasonable disposition of such property.
4.5 Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if an Event of Default occurs, (i) Trustor, upon demand of Beneficiary, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual possession and, if and to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Trust Estate including the Personal Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and may exclude Trustor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with Trustor to the books, papers and accounts of Trustor; and (ii) Trustor shall pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary on Beneficiary's entry into possession, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, all Rents then due and payable.
(b) If Trustor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Trust Estate, the Personal Property or any part thereof after Beneficiary's demand, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Beneficiary or Trustee the right to immediate possession or requiring Trustor
21
to deliver immediate possession of all or part of such property to Beneficiary or Trustee and Trustor hereby specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary or Trustee, upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary or Trustee, their attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Beneficiary or Trustee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Trust Estate and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and without being under any duty to so act:
(1) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property;
(2) insure or keep the Trust Estate insured;
(3) manage and operate the Trust Estate and exercise all the rights and xxxxxx of Trustor in their name or otherwise with respect to the same;
(4) enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted Beneficiary or Trustee, all as Beneficiary or Trustee from time to time may determine; and, subject to the absolute assignment of the Leases and Rents to Beneficiary, Beneficiary or Trustee may collect and receive all the Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter; and shall apply the monies so received by Beneficiary or Trustee in such priority as Beneficiary may determine to (1) the payment of interest and principal due and payable on the Notes or the other Indenture Documents, (2) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due, (3) the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and other proper charges upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof; (4) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary or Trustee; and (5) any other charges or costs required to be paid by Trustor under the terms hereof; and
(5) rent or sublet the Trust Estate or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted by this Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary or Trustee shall surrender possession of the Trust Estate and the Personal Property to Trustor only when all that is due upon such interest and principal, tax and insurance deposits, and all amounts under any of the terms of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or this Deed of Trust, shall have been paid and all defaults made good. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
4.6 Leases. Beneficiary is authorized to foreclose this Deed of Trust subject to the rights of any tenants of the Trust Estate, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights shall not be, nor be asserted by Trustor to be, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the sums secured hereby or to collect any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof. Unless otherwise agreed by Beneficiary in writing, all Space Leases executed subsequent to the date hereof, or any part thereof, shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien of this Deed of Trust; provided, however that (i) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Documents, Beneficiary may be required to execute a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in connection with certain Space Leases; and (ii) from time to time Beneficiary may execute and record among the land records of the jurisdiction where this Deed of Trust is recorded, subordination statements with respect to such of said Space Leases as Beneficiary may designate in its sole discretion, whereby the Space Leases so designated by Beneficiary shall be made superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust for the term set forth
22
in such subordination statement. From and after the recordation of such subordination statements, and for the respective periods as may be set forth therein, the Space Leases therein referred to shall be superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall not be affected by any foreclosure hereof. All such Space Leases shall contain a provision to the effect that the Trustor and Space Lessee recognize the right of Beneficiary to elect and to effect such subordination of this Deed of Trust and consents thereto.
4.7 Purchase by Beneficiary. Upon any foreclosure sale (whether judicial or nonjudicial), Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the property subject to such sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability.
4.8 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Trustor agrees to the full extent permitted by law that if an Event of Default occurs, neither Trustor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the absolute sale of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Trustor for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Trust Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Trustee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Trust Estate in part or as an entirety.
4.9 Receiver. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law and subject to compliance with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, and without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate and to collect all Rents and apply the same as the court may direct, and such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon application by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may have a receiver appointed without notice to Trustor or any third party, and Beneficiary may waive any requirement that the receiver post a bond. Beneficiary shall have the power to designate and select the Person who shall serve as the receiver and to negotiate all terms and conditions under which such receiver shall serve. Any receiver appointed on Beneficiary's behalf may be an Affiliate of Beneficiary. The expenses, including receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, costs and agent's compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Trust Estate and to collect all Rents, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the other Indenture Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such Rents (including, without limitation, security deposits) actually received by Beneficiary, whether received pursuant to this section or any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Deed of Trust to, Beneficiary.
4.10 Suits to Protect the Trust Estate. Beneficiary shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Beneficiary, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable (a) to prevent any impairment of the Trust Estate by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Trust Estate, or (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other Legal Requirement that may be
23
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Beneficiary's interest.
4.11 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, Insolvency, Bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting Trustor, or, to the extent the same would result in an Event of Default hereunder, any Subsidiary, or any guarantor, co-maker or endorser of any of Trustor's obligations, its creditors or its property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim or other documents as it may deem to be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Trustor under the Indenture Documents, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Trustor after such date.
4.12 Trustor to Pay the Obligations on Any Default in Payment; Application of Monies by Beneficiary.
(a) In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Trust Estate and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the sums secured hereby, Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce payment from Trustor of any additional amounts then remaining due and unpaid with respect to the Obligations and to recover judgment against Trustor for any portion thereof remaining unpaid, with interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal as set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture.
(b) Trustor hereby agrees to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any such judgment by Beneficiary or other action by Beneficiary and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Trust Estate or any other property shall in any way affect the Lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any Lien, rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such Lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
(c) Any monies collected or received by Beneficiary under this Section 4.12 shall be first applied to the payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary, and the balance remaining shall be applied to the Obligations.
(d) The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the provisions of any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the other Indenture Documents.
4.13 Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Beneficiary or any Second Mortgage Note Holder to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to Beneficiary whether contained herein or in the other Indenture Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary.
4.14 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon. If Beneficiary or the required percentage of the Second Mortgage Note Holders (as determined pursuant to the Mortgage Notes Indenture), to the extent applicable under the Mortgage Notes Indenture, (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture, this Deed of Trust, the Disbursement Agreement or any other Indenture Document; (d) releases any part of the Trust Estate from the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument securing the Obligations; (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the Site (to the extent
24
such consent is required); (f) consents to the granting of any easement on the Site (to the extent such consent is required); or (g) makes or consents to any agreement changing the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture Document subordinating the lien or any charge hereof, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Trustor under the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document or otherwise, or any subsequent purchaser of the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any maker, co-signer, surety or guarantor. No such act or omission shall preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary, shall the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby, except to the extent expressly provided in any releases, maps, easements or subordinations described in clause (d), (e), (f) or (g) above of this Section 4.14. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Trust Estate, Beneficiary, without notice to any person, firm or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Trust Estate or the indebtedness secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the liabilities or undertakings hereunder, or waiving its right to declare such sale or transfer an Event of Default as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture Document, (i) in the case of any non-monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may continue to accept payments secured hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such or any other Event of Default and (ii) in the case of any monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may accept partial payments of any sums secured hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such Event of Default if the partial payment is not sufficient to completely cure such Event of Default.
4.15 Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry of judgment or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Beneficiary, then and in every such case Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken.
4.16 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy, including without limitation remedies with respect to any security for Obligations, conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture Document is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or any other Indenture Document, now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to resort to such rights, powers, remedies or security as Beneficiary shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable.
4.17 Interest After Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all sums outstanding and unpaid under the Obligations shall, at Beneficiary's option, bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture until such Event of Default has been cured. Trustor's obligation to pay such interest shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
4.18 Foreclosure; Expenses of Litigation. If Trustee forecloses, reasonable attorneys' fees for services in the supervision of said foreclosure proceeding shall be allowed to the Trustee and Beneficiary as part of the foreclosure costs. In the event of foreclosure of the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after foreclosure sale or entry of the decree) of procuring all such
25
abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies and guarantees, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably advisable either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to a bidder at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this section mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Trust Estate and the maintenance of the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust, including the fees of any attorney employed by Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, civil, probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Trustor, with interest thereon at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture, and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Trustee waives its right to any statutory fee in connection with any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees to accept a reasonable fee for such services.
4.19 Deficiency Judgments. If after foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or Trustee's sale hereunder, there shall remain any deficiency with respect to any Obligations, and Beneficiary shall institute any proceedings to recover such deficiency or deficiencies, all such amounts shall continue to bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture. Trustor waives any defense to Beneficiary's recovery against Trustor of any deficiency after any foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate. Trustor expressly waives any defense or benefits that may be derived from any statute granting Trustor any defense to any such recovery by Beneficiary.

4.21 Exculpation of Beneficiary. The acceptance by Beneficiary of the assignment contained herein with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate by Beneficiary, be deemed or construed to make Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession"; nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Space Leases, the Rents or the Trust Estate, or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Space Lease or to assume any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits except to the extent such deposits are actually received by Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary, prior to such entry and taking, be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in or about the Trust Estate.
ARTICLE FIVE
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE;
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, Trustor and Beneficiary agree as follows.
26
5.1 Exercise of Remedies by Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust or applicable law, including all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, authorizes or empowers, or does not require approval for, Beneficiary to exercise any remedies set forth in Article Four hereof or otherwise, or perform any acts in connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so required under the law of the State of Nevada) shall have the power to exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on Beneficiary's behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State of Nevada. In connection therewith, Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any of Beneficiary's remedies (other than any rights of Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement), except at Beneficiary's request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of Beneficiary's remedies at Beneficiary's request, and in accordance with Beneficiary's directions as to the manner of such exercise or waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary's request or direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.
5.2 Rights and Privileges of Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust requires Trustor to indemnify Beneficiary or reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same indemnity and the same rights to reimbursement of expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would apply in the case of Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates or limits Beneficiary's liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Trustor, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney in fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee shall be entitled to act on Trustor's behalf without joinder or confirmation by the other.
5.3 Resignation or Replacement of Trustee. Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, and Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause (i.e., in Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion) by an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary. In case of the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute, successor or replacement Trustee to act instead of Trustee originally named (or in place of any substitute, successor or replacement Trustee), then Beneficiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, without any formality other than appointment and designation in writing executed by Beneficiary, which instrument shall be recorded if required by the law of the State of Nevada. The law of the State of Nevada (including, without limitation, the Nevada Gaming Laws) shall govern the qualifications of any Trustee. The authority conferred upon Trustee by this Deed of Trust shall automatically extend to any and all other successor, substitute and replacement Trustee(s) successively until the obligations secured hereunder have been paid in full or the Trust Estate has been sold hereunder or released in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents. Beneficiary's written appointment and designation of any Trustee shall be full evidence of Beneficiary's right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited. No confirmation, authorization, approval or other action by Trustor shall be required in connection with any resignation or other replacement of Trustee.
5.4 Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation, state banking corporation or a national banking association and the instrument of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on Beneficiary's behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking corporation or national banking association, then such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of Beneficiary.
5.5 Effect of Appointment of Successor Trustee. Upon the appointment and designation of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, and subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming
27
Laws and other applicable laws, Trustee's entire estate and title in the Trust Estate shall vest in the designated successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. Such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.
5.6 Confirmation of Transfer and Succession. Upon the written request of Beneficiary or of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, any former Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee all of the right, title, estate and interest in the Trust Estate of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor, substitute or replacement Trustee.
5.7 Exculpation. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or otherwise be responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law). Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.
5.8 Endorsement and Execution of Documents. Upon Beneficiary's written request, Trustee shall, without liability or notice to Trustor, execute, consent to, or join in any instrument or agreement in connection with or necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents. Trustor hereby irrevocably designates Trustee as its attorney in fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver, on Trustor's behalf and in Trustor's name, all instruments or agreements necessary to implement any provision(s) of this Deed of Trust or to further perfect the lien created by this Deed of Trust on the Trust Estate. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive any disability of Trustor.
5.9 Multiple Trustees. If Beneficiary appoints multiple trustees, then any Trustee, individually, may exercise all powers granted to Trustee under this instrument, without the need for action by any other Trustee(s).
5.10 Terms of Trustee's Acceptance. Trustee accepts the trust created by this Deed of Trust upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Delegation. Trustee may exercise any of its powers through appointment of attorney(s) in fact or agents.
(b) Counsel. Trustee may select and employ legal counsel (including any law firm representing Beneficiary). Trustor shall reimburse all reasonable legal fees and expenses that Trustee may thereby incur.
(c) Security. Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action upon any Event of Default unless furnished security or indemnity, in form satisfactory to Trustee, against costs, expenses, and liabilities that Trustee may incur.
(d) Costs and Expenses. Trustor shall reimburse Trustee, as part of the Obligations secured hereunder, for all reasonable disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by reason of and as provided for in this Deed of Trust, including any of the foregoing incurred in Trustee's administering and executing the trust created by this Deed of Trust, in complying with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and performing Trustee's duties and exercising Trustee's powers under this Deed of Trust.
(e) Release. Upon full and indefeasible payment and performance of the Obligations secured hereunder, Beneficiary shall request that Trustee release this Deed of Trust. Upon receipt of such request Trustee shall release this Deed of Trust to Trustor. Trustor shall pay all costs of recordation, if any.

6.5 Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. In the event that any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein or in the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the lien

Any agreement hereafter made by Trustor and Beneficiary relating to this Deed of Trust shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.
6.7 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) Business Days after Beneficiary's written request, Trustor shall from time to time execute a certificate, in recordable form (an "Estoppel Certificate"), stating, except to the extent it would be inaccurate to so state: (a) the current amount of the Obligations secured hereunder and all elements thereof, including principal, interest, and all other elements; (b) that Trustor has no defense, offset, claim, counterclaim, right of recoupment, deduction, or reduction against any of the Obligations secured hereunder; (c) that neither the Mortgage Notes Indenture, this Deed of Trust nor any other Indenture Documents to which it is a party have been amended, whether orally or in writing; (d) that Trustor has no claims against Beneficiary of any kind; (e) that any power of attorney granted to Beneficiary is in full force and effect; and (f) such other matters relating to this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document to which it is a party and the relationship of Trustor and Beneficiary as Beneficiary shall request. In addition, the Estoppel Certificate shall set forth the reasons why it would be inaccurate to make any of the foregoing assurances.
6.8 Waiver of Setoff and Counterclaim. All Obligations shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever.

6.9 Governing Law. The Mortgage Notes Indenture and the Notes provide that they are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Deed of Trust shall also be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of New York; provided, however, that (i) the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust pertaining to the priority, perfection, enforcement or realization by Beneficiary of its respective rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust with respect to the Trust Estate shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada (the "State") without giving effect to the conflicts-of-law rules and principles of the State; (ii) Trustor agrees that to the extent deficiency judgments are available under the laws of the State after a foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, or any other realization thereon by Beneficiary or any Second Mortgage Note Holder under the Indenture Documents, Beneficiary or such Second Mortgage Note Holder, as the case may be, shall have the right to seek such a deficiency judgment against Trustor in the State; and (iii) Trustor agrees that if Beneficiary or any Second Mortgage Note Holder under the Indenture Documents obtains a deficiency judgment in another state against Trustor, then Beneficiary or such Second Mortgage Note Holder, as the case may be, shall have the right to enforce such judgment in the State to the extent permitted under the laws of the State, as well as in other states.

Trustor shall notify Beneficiary promptly of the occurrence of any of the following and shall immediately provide Beneficiary a copy of the notice or documents referred to: (i) receipt of notice from any Governmental Authority relating to all or any material part of the Trust Estate if such notice relates to a default or act, omission or circumstance which would result in a default after notice or passage of time or both; (ii) receipt of any notice from any tenant leasing all or

any material portion of the Trust Estate if such notice relates to a default or act, omission or circumstance which would result in a default after notice or passage of time or both; (iii) receipt of notice from the holder of any Permitted Lien relating to a default or act, omission or circumstance which would result in a default after notice or passage of time or both; (iv) the commencement of any proceedings or the entry of any judgment, decree or order materially affecting all or any portion of the Trust Estate or which involve the potential liability of Trustor or its Affiliates in an amount in excess of $25,000,000 (other than for personal injury actions and related property damage suits which are covered by such insurance); or (v) commencement of any judicial or administrative proceedings or the entry of any judgment, decree or order by or against or otherwise affecting Trustor or any Affiliate of Trustor, a material portion of the Trust Estate, or a material portion of the Personal Property, or any other action by any creditor or lessor thereof as a result of any default under the terms of any lease.

34
of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the fullest extent permitted by NRS 40.485 (1) and (2), the provisions of NRS 40.430 are waived.
8.3 Net Worth Limitation. If, notwithstanding the representation and warranty set forth in Section 1.2(b) hereof or anything to the contrary herein, enforcement of the liability of Trustor under this Deed of Trust for the full amount of the Obligations would be an unlawful or voidable transfer under any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or any comparable law, then the liability of Trustor hereunder shall be reduced to the highest amount for which such liability may then be enforced without giving rise to an unlawful or voidable transfer under any such law.
