Grantor assigns all awards and compensation to which it is entitled for
any condemnation or other taking, or any purchase in lieu thereof, to
Beneficiary and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such awards and
compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, subject to
the terms of the Indenture. Grantor hereby waives all rights to such awards and
compensation described in the foregoing sentence.  Grantor, upon request by Beneficiary, shall make, execute and
deliver any and all instruments requested for the purpose of confirming the
assignment of the aforesaid awards and compensation to Beneficiary free and
clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature
whatsoever.  Grantor specifically,
unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner granted
under applicable law, including NRS 37.115, as amended or recodified from time
to time, which provide for an allocation of condemnation proceeds between a
property owner and a lienholder, and any other law or successor statute of
similar import.


 


(b)                                 Insurance
Proceeds.  Without limitation to the
requirements of Section 4.23 of the Indenture, Grantor shall maintain such
insurance coverage as is customarily carried by owners and operators of first
class casino and hotel complexes in Laughlin, Nevada and in no event less than
that required under the Superior Deed of


 


10

















 


Trust.  Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds
of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Trust
Property.  Except as set forth in the
Indenture, Grantor authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such proceeds
and authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance policies to
make payment for all such losses directly to Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor
and Beneficiary jointly.  In the event
that the issuer of such insurance policy fails to disburse directly or solely
to Beneficiary but disburses instead either solely to Grantor or to Grantor and
Beneficiary, jointly, Grantor shall immediately endorse and transfer such
proceeds to Beneficiary.  Upon Grantor’s
failure to do so, Beneficiary may execute such endorsements or transfers from
and in the name of Grantor, and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary
as Grantor’s agent and attorney-in-fact so to do.


 


(c)                                  Beneficiary
acknowledges that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3.7, Grantor has granted certain rights in and to condemnation
awards and insurance proceeds pursuant to the Superior Deed of Trust and,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 3.7 are entered into subject to such rights.


 


Section 3.8                                   Costs
of Defending and Upholding the Lien. 
If any action or proceeding is commenced to which action or proceeding
Trustee or Beneficiary is made a party or in which it becomes necessary for
Trustee or Beneficiary to defend or uphold the lien of this Deed of Trust,
including any extensions, renewals, amendments or modifications thereof,
Grantor shall, on demand, reimburse Trustee and Beneficiary for all expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable
appellate attorneys’ fees) incurred by Trustee or Beneficiary in any such
action or proceeding and all such expenses shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.  In any action or proceeding to
foreclose this Deed of Trust or to recover or collect the Indebtedness, the
provisions of law relating to the recovering of costs, disbursements and
allowances shall prevail unaffected by this covenant.


 


Section 3.9                                   TRANSFER OF THE SECURED PROPERTY.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED PURSUANT TO
THE TERMS OF THE INDENTURE, GRANTOR SHALL NOT SELL, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, PLEDGE,
ENCUMBER, CREATE A SECURITY INTEREST IN, LEASE, OR OTHERWISE HYPOTHECATE,
ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE TRUST PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF
BENEFICIARY.  THE CONSENT BY BENEFICIARY
TO ANY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE, CREATION OF A SECURITY
INTEREST IN, LEASE, OR OTHER HYPOTHECATION OF, ANY PORTION OF THE TRUST
PROPERTY SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A NOVATION OR A CONSENT TO ANY
FURTHER SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE, CREATION OF A SECURITY
INTEREST IN, LEASE, OR OTHER HYPOTHECATION, OR TO WAIVE THE RIGHT OF
BENEFICIARY, INDENTURE


 


11

















 


TRUSTEE AND/OR HOLDERS,
AT THEIR OPTION, TO DECLARE THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY IMMEDIATELY DUE AND
PAYABLE, WITHOUT NOTICE TO GRANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, UPON ANY SUCH
SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE, CREATION OF A SECURITY INTEREST,
LEASE, OR OTHER HYPOTHECATION TO WHICH BENEFICIARY SHALL NOT HAVE CONSENTED.


 


Section 3.10                            Security Deposits.  To the extent required by law, or after an
Event of Default has occurred and during its continuance, if required by
Beneficiary, all security deposits of tenants of the Trust Property shall be
treated as trust funds not to be commingled with any other funds of
Grantor.  Within twenty (20) days after
request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish satisfactory evidence of
compliance with this Section 3.10, as necessary, together with a
statement of all security deposits deposited by the tenants and copies of all
Leases not theretofore delivered to Beneficiary, as requested thereby,
certified by Grantor.


 


Section 3.11                            Lease Representations, Warranties and
Covenants.  Grantor
hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:


 


(a)                                  each
Lease is by its terms subordinate to this Deed of Trust and the tenant
thereunder has agreed to attorn to Beneficiary;


 


(b)                                 Grantor
shall, upon request, furnish Beneficiary with executed copies of all Leases and
all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto;


 


(c)                                  Grantor
shall (i)  observe and perform in all material respects all the
obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit
to be done anything to materially impair the value of the Leases as security
for the Indebtedness and the Obligations; (ii) promptly send copies to
Beneficiary of all notices of default which Grantor shall send or receive
thereunder; (iii) enforce all the material terms, covenants and conditions
contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed
or performed, (iv) not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in
advance, except as may be specifically required in the applicable Lease;
(v) not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in the
Leases or the Rents; and (vi) use reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to
Beneficiary, upon request, tenant estoppel certificates from each tenant at the
Premises in the form required under the applicable Lease, or if no such form is
provided, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary; and


 


(d)                                 Grantor
shall not, except to the extent Grantor has received the prior written consent
of Beneficiary, (A) alter, modify or change the terms of any Lease in any
material respect; (B) consent to any assignment of or subletting under any


 


12

















 


Lease not in accordance
with its terms; and (C) cancel or terminate any Lease or accept a
surrender thereof, unless such tenant is in default thereunder and a new Lease
has been entered into on substantially the same terms or more favorable terms
as the canceled Lease.


 


Section 3.12                            Additional
Lease Covenants.


 


(a)                                  Grantor
shall give Beneficiary and Trustee not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice of the date on which Grantor shall apply to any court or other
governmental authority for authority and permission to reject any of the Leases
in the event that there shall be filed by or against Grantor any petition,
action or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other similar
federal or state law now or hereafter in effect and if Grantor determines to
reject any of the Leases.  Beneficiary
and Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Grantor
within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that (i) Beneficiary
or Trustee demands that Grantor assume and assign any of the Leases to
Beneficiary or Trustee subject to and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code
and (ii) Beneficiary covenants to cure or provide reasonably adequate
assurance thereof with respect to all defaults reasonably susceptible of being
cured by Beneficiary or Trustee and of future performance under the applicable
Leases.  If Beneficiary or Trustee
serves upon Grantor the notice described above, Grantor shall not seek to
reject any of the Leases and shall comply with the demand provided for in
clause (i) above within fifteen (15) days after the notice shall have been
given by Beneficiary and Trustee.


 


(b)                                 During
the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary and Trustee shall have the
right, but not the obligation, (i) to perform and comply with all obligations
of Grantor under the Leases without relying on any grace period provided
therein, (ii) to do and take, without any obligation to do so, such action as
Beneficiary or Trustee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any
default by Grantor under any of the Leases, including, without limitation, any
act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever that Grantor may do in order to cure a
default under the applicable Leases and (iii) to enter in and upon the Land or
any part thereof to such extent and as often as Beneficiary or Trustee  deems
necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any default of Grantor under
the Leases.  Grantor shall on demand,
reimburse Beneficiary for all advances made and expenses incurred by
Beneficiary in exercising the foregoing rights (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), together with interest thereon
at three percentage points above the “prime rate” announced by Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. at its principal office in San Francisco from time to time (the “Applicable
Rate”) from the date that an advance is made or expense is incurred,
to and including the date the same is paid and such monies so expended by
Beneficiary with interest thereon shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.  Grantor shall, within five (5) days after
written request is made therefor by Beneficiary or Trustee, execute and deliver
to Beneficiary or to any party designated by Beneficiary or Trustee, such
further instruments, agreements,


 


13

















 


powers, assignments,
conveyances or the like as may be reasonably necessary to complete or perfect
the interest, rights or powers of Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph or as
may otherwise be required by Beneficiary  or Trustee.


 


(c)                                  During
the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event of any arbitration under
or pursuant to the Leases in which Beneficiary elects to participate, Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and Trustee as its true and lawful
attorneys-in-fact (which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest)
to exercise, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all right, title
and interest of Grantor in connection with such arbitration, including, without
limitation, the right to appoint arbitrators and to conduct arbitration
proceedings on behalf of Grantor and Beneficiary.  All costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary and Trustee in
connection with such arbitration and the settlement thereof shall be borne
solely by Grantor, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements.  Nothing contained in
this paragraph shall obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to participate in any such
arbitration.


 


Section 3.13                            Estoppel Certificates.  Grantor shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain and deliver to Beneficiary within twenty (20) days after
written demand by Beneficiary, an estoppel certificate from the applicable
lessee under the Leases setting forth (i) the name of the lessee and the
lessor thereunder, (ii) that the applicable Lease is in full force and
effect and has not been modified or, if it has been modified, the date of each
modification (together with copies of each such modification), (iii) the
basic rent payable under the applicable Lease, (iv) the date to which all
rental charges have been paid by the lessee under the applicable Lease, (v) whether
a notice of default has been received by the fee owner or lessor which has not
been cured, and if such notice has been received, the date it was received and
the nature of the default, (vi) whether there are any alleged defaults of the
lessee under the applicable Lease and, if there are, setting forth the nature
thereof in reasonable detail, and (vii) if the lessee under the applicable
Lease shall be in default, the default.


 


Section 3.14                            FF&E
Financing Arrangements.  Grantor
shall comply with the terms of all FF&E Financing Arrangements.  If Grantor has acquired or hereafter
acquires Operational Property or Fixtures subject to any FF&E Financing
Arrangement, or becomes lessee under a lease for any of the same, the Lien of
this Deed of Trust on such acquired or leased assets shall be subordinate to
the Lien of such FF&E Financing Arrangement and Beneficiary, at Grantor’s
cost, shall execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor may
reasonably request evidencing such subordination.


 


Section 3.15                            Maintenance
of Premises.  Grantor shall
maintain and keep the Premises in such good repair, working order and condition
and shall make or cause to be made all such needful and proper repairs,
renewals and replacements thereto consistent with the standards of other first
class casino and hotel complexes in Laughlin, Nevada.  Grantor shall occupy and continuously operate the Casino Hotel
and keep the


 


14

















 


Casino Hotel supplied
with Tangible Personal Property, all in a manner consistent with the standards
of other first class casino and hotel complexes in Laughlin, Nevada.


 


Section 3.16                            Alterations.  All alterations to the Premises (a) shall be
carried out in conformity with the Indebtedness Documents, Legal Requirements
and insurance requirements in a good and workmanlike manner and prosecuted with
reasonable dispatch subject to force majeure; (b) shall be undertaken only with
appropriate workers compensation insurance covering workers engaged in such alterations
and appropriate commercial general liability insurance covering all hazards
resulting from such alterations; and (c) affecting the structure of any of the
Improvements, the building systems or any material portion of the Improvements,
(i) shall be carried out under the supervision of a reputable architect with no
less than ten (10) years’ experience in the design and construction of first
class casino and hotel complexes in Laughlin, Nevada, (ii) shall be notified to
Beneficiary prior to the commencement thereof and, upon Beneficiary’s request,
Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of all drawings, plans,
specifications and cost estimates therefor prepared and approved in writing by
said architect and accompanied by a certificate of such architect stating that
such drawings, plans and specifications are in compliance with all Legal
Requirements and insurance requirements, and (iii) shall not be commenced until
Grantor has furnished to Beneficiary, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, a
surety bond or bonds, covering performance, labor and material payments with
respect to the work, naming Beneficiary as obligee (or as co-obligee with the
beneficiary under the Superior Deed of Trust and Grantor), issued by a
responsible surety company, authorized to do business in the State of Nevada,
in a form generally and customarily used by such surety in an amount equal to
the estimated cost of construction of the work, guaranteeing the performance
and completion of such construction, substantially in conformity with the plans
and specifications and within a reasonable time subject to force majeure free
and clear of all Liens, claims and liabilities for the cost of such alterations
(if such surety bond is unobtainable, Grantor shall provide equivalent security
in the form of cash, letter of credit or other guarantee).  No alterations of any kind shall be made
which shall change the primary use of the Casino Hotel from its use as a gaming
and hotel facility.


 


ARTICLE 4

DEFAULT


 


Section 4.1                                   Events
of Default.  The occurrence of
any of the following events shall constitute an event of default under this
Deed of Trust (each an “Event of Default”):


 


(a)                                  an
“Event of Default” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) shall have
occurred;


 


15

















 


(b)                                 the
revocation, termination, suspension or other cessation of effectiveness of (i)
any Liquor License which results in the cessation or suspension of the serving
of alcohol at the Casino Hotel or a material portion thereof for more than 90
consecutive days or (ii) any other Permit which results in the cessation or
suspension of all or a substantial portion of the operations of the Casino
Hotel for more than 90 consecutive days, in either case, other than as a result
of an Asset Sale permitted under the Indenture or any voluntary relinquishment
that is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, both desirable in
the conduct of the business of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders;


 


(c)                                  if
Grantor shall give Beneficiary Notice of Election to Terminate under NRS
106.380;


 


(d)                                 Grantor’s
breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Deed of Trust; or


 


(e)                                  if
any misstatement or misrepresentation exists now or hereafter in any warranty
or representation set forth in Article 3 hereof.


 


ARTICLE 5

REMEDIES AND FORECLOSURE


 


Section 5.1                                   Remedies.  If an Event of Default exists, Beneficiary
may, at Beneficiary’s election and by or through Trustee or otherwise, exercise
any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:


 


(a)                                  To
the extent permitted under the Indenture and in accordance with the provisions
thereof, declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without
further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby
is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately
due and payable.


 


(b)                                 Notify
all tenants of the Premises and all others obligated on leases of any part of
the Premises that all rents and other sums owing on leases have been assigned
to Beneficiary and are to be paid directly to Beneficiary, and to enforce
payment of all obligations owing on leases, by suit, ejectment, cancellation,
releasing, reletting or otherwise, whether or not Beneficiary has taken
possession of the Premises, and to exercise whatever rights and remedies
Beneficiary may have under any assignment of rents and leases.


 


(c)                                  As
and to the extent permitted by law, enter the Trust Property, either personally
or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and take exclusive


 


16

















 


possession thereof and
thereupon, Beneficiary may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain,
repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Premises and
conduct business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Premises in
such manner and form as Beneficiary deems advisable in the reasonable exercise
of its judgment; (iii) exercise all rights and power of Grantor with respect to
the Premises, whether in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify leases, obtain and
evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all earnings, revenues,
rents, issues, profits and other income of the Premises and every part thereof,
which rights shall not be in limitation of Beneficiary’s rights under any
assignment of rents and leases securing the Indebtedness; and (iv)  apply
the receipts from the Premises to the payment of the Indebtedness, after
deducting therefrom all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in
connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the
taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges in connection with the Trust
Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of
Beneficiary, its counsel, agents and employees.


 


(d)                                 Hold,
lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Trust Property upon such
terms and conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances
(making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other
actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and
apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Trustee in connection therewith
in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7 hereof.


 


(e)                                  Require
Grantor to assemble any collateral under the UCC and make it available to
Beneficiary, at Grantor’s sole risk and expense, at a place or places to be
designated by Beneficiary, in its sole discretion.


 


(f)                                    Institute
proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, either by
judicial action or by power of sale, in which case the Trust Property may be
sold for cash or credit in accordance with applicable law in one or more
parcels as Beneficiary may determine. 
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, with respect to any
notices required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that ten (10) days’
prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At any such sale by virtue of any judicial
proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the
title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the
purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be
completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest,
claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in
equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both
at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other Persons claiming or
to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor.  Beneficiary, the Indenture Trustee or any of
the Holders may be a purchaser at such sale. 
If Beneficiary is the highest bidder, Beneficiary may credit the portion
of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary against the


 


17

















 


Indebtedness in lieu of
paying cash.  In the event this Deed of
Trust is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement and valuation of the Trust
Property is waived. In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 5
(whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of
foreclosure and sale) the entire Indebtedness, if not previously due and
payable, immediately thereupon shall become due and payable. The failure to
make any such tenants of the Premises party to any such foreclosure proceedings
and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Grantor, a
defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the sums
secured hereby.


 


(g)                                 With
or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures
provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure
of this Deed of Trust for the portion of the Indebtedness then due and payable
(if Beneficiary shall have elected not to declare the entire Indebtedness to be
immediately due and owing), subject to the continuing lien of this Deed of
Trust for the balance of the Indebtedness not then due; or (1) as and to the
extent permitted by law, sell for cash or upon credit the Trust Property or any
part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of
Grantor therein, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales,
as an entity or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such
notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law, and in the event of a
sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Trust Property, this
Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Trust
Property; or (2) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the
specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein
or in any Indebtedness Document; or (3) to the extent permitted by applicable
law, recover judgment on the Indenture either before, during or after any
proceedings for the enforcement of this Deed of Trust.


 


(h)                                 Make
application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such
court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to
the adequacy of the Trust Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the
appointment of a receiver of the Trust Property, and Grantor irrevocably
consents to such appointment.  Any such
receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar
cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the
Trust Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply
such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7
hereof.  Beneficiary may request, in connection
with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Nevada Gaming Commission
petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a supervisor
to conduct the normal gaming activities on the Premises following such
foreclosure proceeding.


 


(i)                                     Exercise
all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Indebtedness
Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.


 


18

















 


Section 5.2                                   Separate
Sales.  The Trust Property may
be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Trustee in its
sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of
Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.


 


Section 5.3                                   Remedies
Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive.  Beneficiary and Trustee shall have all rights, remedies and
recourses granted in the Indebtedness Documents and available at law or equity
(including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulated and concurrent, (b) may
be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others
obligated under the Indebtedness Documents, or against the Trust Property, or
against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary or
Trustee, as the case may be, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall
not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy
or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by Beneficiary or Trustee in the
enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Indebtedness
Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of
Default.


 


Section 5.4                                   Release
of and Resort to Collateral. 
Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the
necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on
the Trust Property, any part of the Trust Property without, as to the
remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien
or security interest created in or evidenced by the Indebtedness Documents or
their status as a lien and security interest in and to the Trust Property
second in priority to the Superior Deed of Trust only.  For payment of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary
may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may
elect.


 


Section 5.5                                   Waiver
of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all
benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute
of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Trust Property from
attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution,
exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment,
(b) all notices of any Event of Default or of any election by Trustee or
Beneficiary to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse
provided for under the Indebtedness Documents, and (c) any right to a
marshalling of assets, a sale in inverse order of alienation or to require sale
of assets in a particular order, including rights provided by NRS 100.040 and
100.050, as such sections may be amended or recodified from time to time.  Each successor and assign of Grantor,
including any holder of a lien or security interest subordinate to this Deed of
Trust, by acceptance of its interest or lien or security interest, agrees that
it shall be bound by the above waiver, as if it had given the waiver itself.

Section 5.6                                   Discontinuance
of Proceedings.  If Beneficiary
or Trustee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted under the Indebtedness Documents and shall thereafter elect to
discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary or Trustee, as the case
may be, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event,
Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be restored to their former positions
with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Indebtedness Documents,
the Trust Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and
powers of Beneficiary and Trustee shall continue as if the right, remedy or
recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment
shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of
Beneficiary or Trustee thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse
under the Indebtedness Documents for such Event of Default.


 


Section 5.7                                   Application
of Proceeds.  The proceeds of
any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 5, together with
any Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management,
operation or other use of the Trust Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary
or Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless
otherwise required by applicable law:


 


(a)                                  to
the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Trust
Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the
same, including, without limitation (1) trustee’s and receiver’s fees and
expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced by any receiver’s
certificates, (2) court costs, (3) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and
expenses, and (4) costs of advertisement;


 


(b)                                 to
the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations in such
manner and order of preference as set forth in the Indenture; and


 


(c)                                  the
balance, if any, to the payment of the Persons legally entitled thereto.


 


Section 5.8                                   Occupancy
After Foreclosure.  Except as
otherwise required by applicable law, any sale of the Trust Property or any
part thereof in accordance with Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f)
hereof will divest all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the
property sold.  Subject to applicable
law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of
the property purchased.  If Grantor
retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such
sale, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and
will, if Grantor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to
eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

of Enforcement.


 


(a)                                  If
any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of
Grantor.  All sums advanced and expenses
incurred at any time by Beneficiary under this Section 5.9, or
otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Indebtedness Documents
or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced
or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at
the Applicable Rate, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall
be secured by this Deed of Trust.


 


(b)                                 Grantor
shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and
all costs and expenses related to legal work, research and litigation) of or
incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust and the
other Indebtedness Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of
the Indebtedness or any claim under this Deed of Trust and the other
Indebtedness Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or
asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof, by litigation
or otherwise.


 


Section 5.10                            No
Mortgagee in Possession. 
Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 5,
the assignment of the rents and leases under Article 6, the security
interests under Article 7, nor any other remedies afforded to
Beneficiary under the Indebtedness Documents, at law or in equity shall cause
Beneficiary or Trustee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in
possession of the Trust Property, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to lease
the Trust Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any
expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise.

OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: 
(A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF BENEFICIARY, INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND/OR
HOLDERS TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE INDENTURE OR OTHER
INDEBTEDNESS DOCUMENTS UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT;  (B) TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES, THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL
STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL
HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY BENEFICIARY OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN
PROVIDED TO BENEFICIARY; 
(C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR HAS READ THIS DEED OF TRUST AND ITS
PROVISIONS HAVE

ARTICLE 6

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES


 


Section 6.1                                   Assignment.  In furtherance of and in addition to the
assignment made by Grantor in Section 2.1 of this Deed of Trust,
Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and
conveys to Trustee (for the benefit of Beneficiary) and to Beneficiary all of
its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or
hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents.  This assignment is an absolute assignment
and not an assignment for additional security only.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and to the extent not prohibited by the Indenture, Grantor shall
have a revocable license from Trustee and Beneficiary to exercise all rights
extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and
collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and
performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same.  The foregoing license is granted subject to
the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.  Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings
have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the
Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall
automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Trustee or Beneficiary
(any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor).


 


Section 6.2                                   Perfection
Upon Recordation.  Grantor
acknowledges that Beneficiary and Trustee have taken all actions necessary to
obtain, and that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust Beneficiary and Trustee
shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully
perfected, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all
security for such Leases, subject only to the assignment of such Rents pursuant
to the Superior Deed of Trust and/or any separate assignment of Rents executed
in conjunction therewith.  Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Trustee’s
and Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected,
“choate” and enforced as to Grantor and all third parties, including, without
limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of
the United States Code (the ”Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of
commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Deed of Trust, making
formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking
any other affirmative action.


 


22

















 


Section 6.3                                   Bankruptcy
Provisions.  Without limitation
of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor,
Trustee and Beneficiary agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a
“security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code, (b) the security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to
property of Grantor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy
and to all amounts paid as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to
all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.


 


Section 6.4                                   No
Merger of Estates.  So long as
part of the Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and
undischarged, the fee and leasehold estates to the Trust Property shall not
merge, but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of
such estates either in Grantor, Beneficiary, any tenant or any third party by
purchase or otherwise.


 


ARTICLE 7

SECURITY AGREEMENT


 


Section 7.1                                   Security

constitutes a “security agreement” on personal property within the meaning of
the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Operational Property,
Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds,
Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards. 
To this end, Grantor grants to Beneficiary a security interest in
the Operational Property, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property
Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards and all
other Trust Property which is personal property, second in priority to the
security interest created by the Superior Deed of Trust only, to secure the
payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and agrees that
Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
UCC with respect to such property.  Any
notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with
respect to the Operational Property, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts,
Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards
sent to Grantor at least five (5) days prior to any action under the UCC shall
constitute reasonable notice to Grantor.

PROPERTY IN WHICH BENEFICIARY HAS OBTAINED AND/OR PERFECTED A SECURITY INTEREST
UNDER SEPARATE INSTRUMENTS.

provide authorization for Beneficiary to prepare and record, in form and
substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, financing statements (and shall make,
execute and/or otherwise deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance
satisfactory to Beneficiary, such further documentation and assurances) as
Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create,
perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest

hereunder and Beneficiary
may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such
times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect
and preserve such security interest.

Section 7.3                                   Fixture
Filing.  This Deed of Trust
shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC against
all of the Trust Property which is or is to become fixtures.  Information concerning the security interest
herein granted may be obtained at the address of Debtor (Grantor) and Secured
Party (Beneficiary) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.


 


Section 7.4                                   Applicable Provisions of Gaming Laws and
Liquor Laws.  The parties
acknowledge and agree that all rights, remedies, and powers provided in this
Deed of Trust relative to the Trust Property may be exercised only to the
extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory
provision of the applicable Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and all provisions of
this Deed of Trust relative to the Trust Property are intended to be subject to
all applicable mandatory provisions of the applicable Gaming Laws and Liquor
Laws and to be limited solely to the extent necessary to not render the
provisions of this Deed of Trust invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in
part.  Beneficiary will timely apply for

Gaming Laws) and for the sale of liquor and other alcoholic beverages regulated

performance of its duties, including those arising from joint, concurrent, or
comparative negligence of Trustee; however, Grantor shall not be liable


 


24

















 


under such

hereunder.


 


Section 8.3                                   Successor

absolute discretion, desire to appoint a substitute Trustee, Beneficiary shall
have full power to appoint one or more substitute Trustees and, if preferred,
several substitute Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
rights, powers and duties of Trustee.

acknowledged and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by
Grantor.

has been appointed to act as Agent hereunder by the Indenture Trustee.  Agent shall have the right hereunder to make
demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights,
and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation,
the release or substitution of the Trust Property) in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture, any related agency agreement between Agent and the Indenture
Trustee (collectively, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or
replaced from time to time, the “Agency Documents”) and this Deed of
Trust.  Grantor and all other persons
shall be entitled to rely on releases, waivers, consents, approvals,
notifications and other acts of Agent, without inquiry into the existence of
required consents or approvals of the Indenture Trustee therefor.


 


(b)                                 Beneficiary
shall at all times be the same Person that is Agent under the Agency
Documents.  Written notice of
resignation by Agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute
notice of resignation as Agent under this Deed of Trust.  Removal of Agent pursuant to any provision
of the Agency Documents shall also constitute removal as Agent under this Deed
of Trust.  Appointment of a successor
Agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute appointment of a
successor Agent under this Deed of Trust. 
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent
under the Agency Documents, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring or removed Agent as the Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, and the
retiring or removed Agent shall promptly (i) assign and transfer to such
successor Agent all of its right, title and interest in and to this Deed of
Trust and the Trust Property, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor
Agent such assignments and amendments and take such other actions, as may be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor
Agent of the liens and security interests created hereunder, whereupon such
retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Deed of Trust.  After any
retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Agency Documents shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Deed of
Trust while it was the Agent hereunder.


 


(c)                                  Each
reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power
exercisable, exercised or action taken by the “Beneficiary” shall be deemed to
be a reference to or be deemed to have been so taken, as the case may be, by
Beneficiary, together with its successors and assigns, in its capacity as
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders, all
as more fully set forth in the Indenture

LOCAL LAW PROVISIONS


 


Section 10.1                            Power of Sale.  Should default be made by Grantor in the
payment or performance of any Indebtedness or other Obligation or agreement
secured hereby and/or in the performance of any agreement herein, or should
Grantor otherwise be in default hereunder, Beneficiary may, subject to
NRS 107.080, declare all sums secured hereby immediately due by delivery
to Trustee of a written notice of breach and election to sell (which notice
Trustee shall cause to be recorded and mailed as required by law) and shall surrender
to Trustee this Deed of Trust.


 


After three (3) months shall have elapsed following recordation of any
such notice of breach, Trustee shall sell the property subject hereto at such

act itself or through any auctioneer, agent or attorney.  The place of sale may be either in the
county in which the property to be sold, or any part thereof, is situated, or
at an office of the Trustee located in the State of Nevada.


 


Upon the request of Beneficiary or if required by law Trustee shall
postpone sale of all or any portion of said property or interest therein by
public announcement at the time fixed by said notice of sale, and shall
thereafter postpone said sale from time to time by public announcement at the
time previously appointed.


 


At the time of sale so fixed, Trustee shall sell the property so
advertised or any part thereof or interest therein either as a whole or in
separate parcels, as Beneficiary may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United
States, payable at the time of sale, and shall deliver to such purchaser a deed
or deeds or other appropriate instruments conveying the property so sold, but
without covenant or warranty, express or implied.  Beneficiary and Trustee may bid and purchase at such sale.  To the extent of the Indebtedness secured
hereby, Beneficiary need not bid for cash at any sale of all or any portion of
the Property pursuant hereto, but the amount of any successful bid by
Beneficiary shall be applied in reduction of said Indebtedness.  Trustor hereby agrees, if it is then still
in possession, to surrender, immediately and without demand, possession of said
property to any purchaser.


 


29

















 


Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to the payment of
expenses of sale and all charges and expenses of Trustee and of these trusts,
including costs of evidence of title and Trustee’s fees in connection with
sale; all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued
interest at the default rate determined by the Indenture; all other sums then
secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally
entitled thereto.


 


Beneficiary, from time to time before Trustee’s sale, may rescind any
notice of breach and election to sell by executing, delivering and causing
Trustee to record a written notice of such rescission.  The exercise by Beneficiary of such right of
rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any breach or default then existing
or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Beneficiary to execute and
deliver to Trustee, as above provided, other notices of breach and election to
sell, nor otherwise affect any term, covenant or condition hereof or under any
obligation secured hereby, or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of the
parties thereunder.


 


Section 10.2                            Credit Bids.  At any foreclosure sale, any person,
including Grantor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Trust
Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable
law.  Instead of paying cash for such
property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales
price of the property against the obligations in the order provided by
NRS 40.462.


 


Section 10.3                            Nevada Law.  Where not inconsistent with the above, the
following covenants, Nos. 1; 2 (full replacement value); 3; 4 (the rate or
rates at which interest is computed upon default of the Indebtedness); 5; 6; 7
(attorneys’ fees as provided herein); 8 and 9 of NRS 107.030 are
hereby adopted and made a part of this Deed of Trust.
