         THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT SECURED BY THE DEED OF TRUST AS AMENDED HEREBY IS
         $8,142,00.00, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AND OTHER AMOUNTS HEREIN
         DESCRIBED. INTEREST ON THE AMOUNT SECURED HEREBY MAY FLUCTUATE FROM
         TIME TO TIME.

THIS AMENDMENT TO DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY
AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FILING ("AMENDMENT") is entered into this 29th day of
August, 2003, by and between: FIRST NATIONAL BANK, having its offices at 909 St.

CREEK, INC., a Colorado corporation, having its office at 3290 Lien Street,
Rapid City, South Dakota, Nevada 57702, ("GRANTOR" OR "BORROWER"); and the
PUBLIC TRUSTEE OF GILPIN COUNTY (the "TRUSTEE").

                                    RECITALS

On or about July 31, 2002, Lender and Borrower, as well as certain named
Guarantors and, as to the Deed of Trust, Trustee, entered into the following
agreements:

(a)      Loan Agreement;

(b)      Promissory Note;

(c)      Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and
         Fixture Filing (also entered into by the Public Trustee of Gilpin
         County [the "TRUSTEE"]), which was recorded in the official records of
         the County of Gilpin, Colorado, on August 2, 2002, in Book 766, Page
         233 (the "DEED OF TRUST"), affecting the property described in Exhibit
         A hereto;

(d)      Other documents in connection with the foregoing, including, without
         limitation, certain Guaranties, a Subordination Agreement, and other
         related documents, all of which, together with the foregoing, will
         collectively be referred to herein as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS." The
         indebtedness and obligations created and memorialized by the Loan
         Documents will be referred to herein as the "LOAN."

The original purpose of the Loan was to provide funds for use by Borrower in
constructing certain improvements on and to the Premises. However, Borrower has
requested Lender to advance additional funds to Borrower to enable completion of
the construction. Lender has agreed to advance such additional funds, in
consideration for which the parties hereto have agreed to this Amendment to
amend the Deed of Trust to reflect the increased Maximum Amount secured thereby,
in connection with which Borrower and Lender have executed a Loan Modification
Agreement (the "MODIFICATION AGREEMENT") of even date herewith. The Modification
Agreement, among other things, increases the principal balance of the Loan and
