(a) Grantor hereby presently, absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Secured Party, which assignment shall be effective without Secured Party having to first take possession of the Property, all of Grantor’s interests in any and all present and future Occupancy Agreements and Rents, reserving unto Grantor the right, prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), to collect and retain the Rents as they may become due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, such license reserved to Grantor shall be immediately revoked without further demand or notice, and any Rents, including those past due, unpaid or undetermined, may be collected by Secured Party or its agent. In addition to any other actions which may be taken by Secured Party to collect the Rents in accordance herewith, Secured Party may, at any time, by a receiver to be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with subsection 19(b) below, enter upon and take possession of said Property, or any part thereof, and exercise such rights and remedies as are provided by subsections 19(b) and 19(c) below including, without limitation, suing for or otherwise collecting the Rents (including those past due or unpaid). All Rents collected hereunder, less costs and expenses of operation and collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be applied towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, in such order as is required under the Credit Agreement. The collection of such Rents, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or constitute a waiver of any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. Grantor and Secured Party intend that this assignment shall be a present, absolute and unconditional assignment, not an assignment for additional security only, and shall, immediately upon the execution hereof, subject to the license granted above, give Secured Party, and its agent, the right to collect the Rents and to apply them as aforesaid. Nothing contained herein, nor any collection of Rents by Secured Party, or its agent or a receiver, shall be construed to make Secured Party: (i) a “Mortgagee-in-Possession” of the Property so long as Secured Party has not itself entered into actual possession of the Property; (ii) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any Occupancy Agreement; (iii) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or (iv) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it (provided that this clause (iv) shall not act to relieve Secured Party from liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party).
(b) Grantor hereby represents that there are no assignments or pledges of any leases of, or rentals or income from, said Property now in effect and covenants that, until Credit Facility Termination (as defined in the Credit Agreement), it will not make any such assignment or pledge to anyone other than Secured Party.
15
10. Performance by Trustee or Secured Party. Should Grantor fail to make any payment or perform any act which it is obligated to make or perform hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, then the Trustee, or Secured Party, at the election of either of them, without giving notice to Grantor, or any successor in interest of Grantor, and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereunder, may make such payment or perform such act and incur any liability, or expend whatever amounts, in its discretion, it may deem necessary therefor. All sums incurred or expended by the Trustee, or Secured Party, under the terms of this Section, shall become due and payable by Grantor to the Secured Party, on the next interest or installment payment date under any of the promissory notes secured hereby and shall bear interest until paid at an annual percentage rate equal to the Default Rate expressed in the Credit Agreement. In no event shall such payment or performance of any such act by Trustee or Secured Party be construed as a waiver of the default occasioned by Grantor’s failure to make such payment(s) or perform such act(s).
11. Actions Affecting Property. Grantor promises and agrees that if, during the existence of this trust, there shall be commenced or pending any suit or action affecting said Property, or any part thereof, or the title thereto, or if any adverse claim for or against said Property, or any part thereof, be made or asserted, it will appear in and defend any such matter purporting to affect the security of this Deed of Trust and will pay all costs and damages arising because of such action.
12. Eminent Domain. Any award of damages in connection with any condemnation or similar actions in regard to said Property, or any part thereof, shall be paid directly to Secured Party and shall be: (i) retained by Secured Party; or (ii) released to Grantor by Secured Party; all in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.
13. Subrogation. To the extent that any sums advanced by Secured Party are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such sums shall be deemed to have been advanced by Secured Party at the request of Grantor and Secured Party shall be subrogated to any and all rights and liens held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and prior encumbrances, regardless of whether said liens, charges or encumbrances are released.
14. Due on Sale. If Grantor shall be voluntarily, or involuntarily, divested of title or possession of any Property, by merger or otherwise, or shall lease, sell, convey, further encumber or in any other manner voluntarily or involuntarily alienate any of its interest in any of the Property, or shall enter into an agreement to do any of the foregoing, other than as permitted in the Credit Agreement, any indebtedness
16
or obligation secured hereby, irrespective of the maturity dates expressed in any notes evidencing the same, shall at the option of Secured Party, and upon the giving of any notice which may be required under the Credit Agreement, immediately become due and payable.
15. Partial or Late Payment. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Secured Party does not waive its right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums so secured or to declare default, as herein provided, for failure to so pay.
16. Certain Acts by Trustee or Secured Party. At any time, and from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice to Grantor, upon written request of Secured Party and, if required by Trustee, upon presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Notes secured hereby for endorsement, and without affecting the effect of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of said Property, Trustee may: reconvey to Grantor any part of said Property; consent in writing to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon, or join in any extension agreement or subordination agreement in connection herewith. The Secured Party may without notice to or consent of Grantor extend the time of the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby to any successors in interest of Grantor without discharging Grantor from liability thereon.
17. Release. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations and all other then accrued indebtedness and performance in full of all obligations hereunder, Secured Party, at Grantor’s expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Deed of Trust.
18. Right of Secured Party and Trustee to Appear. If, during the existence of the trust, there be commenced or pending any suit or action affecting the Property, or any part thereof, or the title thereto, or if any adverse claim for or against the Property, or any part thereof, be made or asserted, the Trustee or Secured Party (unless such suit, action or claim is being contested in good faith by Grantor and Grantor shall have established and maintained adequate reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the full payment and satisfaction of such suit or action if determined adversely to Grantor), may appear or intervene in the suit or action and retain counsel therein and defend same, or otherwise take such action therein as they may be advised, and may settle or compromise same or the adverse claim; and in that behalf and for any of the purposes may pay and expend such sums of money as the Trustee or Secured Party may deem to be necessary and Grantor shall reimburse Trustee, or Secured Party, as the case may be, for such sums expended,
17
together with accrued interest thereon, at the Default Rate which is defined in the Credit Agreement.
19. Remedies. Upon, and at any time subsequent to, the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, Secured Party and/or Trustee will be entitled to invoke any and all of the following rights and remedies, all of which will be cumulative, it being provided that exercise of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not constitute an election of remedies:
(a) With respect to any Event of Default as defined in any of subsections 7.01(a) through (f) or (j) through (v) of the Credit Agreement, all sums secured hereby shall, at the option of Secured Party, and upon the giving of notice required by the Credit Agreement, if any, become immediately due and payable. With respect to any Event of Default as defined in any of subsections 7.01(g), (h) or (i) of the Credit Agreement, all sums secured hereby shall automatically become due and payable without notice and without any action on the part of Secured Party.
(b) Secured Party and/or Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction, by ex parte application or otherwise, for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property or any part thereof, without notice to Grantor or anyone claiming under Grantor, as a matter of absolute right, and without regard to the then value of the Property, the adequacy of any security for the obligations secured hereby or the solvency of any person or entity liable therefor, and Grantor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers of Secured Party in case of entry as provided by subsection (c) below and as provided in the Credit Agreement and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the termination of such receivership with the consent of Secured Party or pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. All expenses incurred by the receiver or his agents, including obligations to repay funds borrowed by the receiver, shall constitute a part of the obligations secured hereby. Any revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied first to the expenses of the receivership, including attorneys’ fees incurred by the receiver and by Secured Party, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined the Credit Agreement) from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied toward the obligations secured hereby or in such other manner as the court may direct. Secured Party may also request, in connection with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the West Virginia State Lottery Commission and/or the West Virginia Racing Commission, to the extent permissible by law, petition the Circuit Court of the applicable County of West Virginia for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal racetrack, video lottery and related activities on the Property following such foreclosure proceeding.
18
(c) Secured Party, in person, by agent or by court appointed receiver, under subsection (b) above, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, subject to applicable laws, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust; all with or without process of law, and without liability to Grantor or to any other owner or owners of the Property. Such other things may include, among other things, any of the following: taking and possessing all of Grantor’s or the then owner’s books and records with respect to the Property; obtaining and evicting tenants in accordance with any applicable leases; fixing or modifying rents in accordance with any applicable leases; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Grantor with respect to the Property; completing construction; and contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Secured Party so requests, Grantor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Real Property in violation of any of the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and make all of it available to Secured Party at the site of the Real Property. Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party (or, if applicable, Secured Party’s receiver) as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Secured Party in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures. All expenses incurred by Secured Party or its agents under this subsection 19(c) shall constitute a part of the obligations secured hereby. Any revenues collected by Secured Party shall be applied first to the expenses so incurred (including attorneys’ fees) together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined the Credit Agreement) from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied toward the obligations secured hereby or in such other manner as the court may direct. Regardless of any provision of this Deed of Trust, or the Credit Agreement, Secured Party shall not be considered to have accepted any personal property (other than cash or immediately available funds which have been actually, and indefeasibly, delivered to Secured Party and are not held in the hands of a receiver or other third party) in satisfaction of any obligation of Grantor to Secured Party, unless Secured Party has given express written notice of Secured Party’s election of that remedy in accordance with the Commercial Code. Any person, or persons in possession of all or any part of the Property upon exercise of any remedies under this subsection 19(c) shall be deemed a tenant at will and shall at once surrender such possession on demand of Secured Party, the Trustee, a receiver, or the agent of any of them.
(d) At any time after the exercise by Secured Party of the option to declare the sums secured hereby immediately due and payable (or at any time after the sums secured hereby have automatically become due and payable), Trustee, upon the written request of Secured Party, shall foreclose upon and sell the Property, in whole or in part, to satisfy the Secured Obligations at public auction at the front door of the courthouse of Hancock County, West Virginia, in the City of New Cumberland, for cash in hand on the day of sale, or upon such other terms as Secured Party may designate and direct to Trustee, after first giving notice of such sale by publishing such
19
notice in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county wherein the Property is located, or if there be no such newspaper, in a qualified newspaper of general circulation in said county, once a week for two successive weeks preceding the day of sale and after giving notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Grantor and to any subordinate lienholder who has previously notified Secured Party of the existence of a subordinate lien at least twenty (20) days prior to the sale, and no other notice of such sale shall be required. Out of the proceeds of such sale Trustee shall pay, first, the costs and expenses of executing this trust, together with a commission as provided by law to Trustee, or to the one so acting; second, to Secured Party and Trustee all moneys which they or either of them may have paid for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges or fees, insurance, repairs, court costs, and all other costs and expenses incurred or paid under the provisions of this Deed of Trust, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Note from the date of payment; third, to Secured Party the full amount due and unpaid on the Secured Obligations and all other indebtedness hereby secured, together with all interest accrued thereon to date of payment; and fourth, the balance, if any, to Grantor, its successors or assigns, upon delivery of and surrender to the purchaser or purchasers of possession of the Property less the expense, if any, of obtaining such possession. The parties hereto agree that any sale hereunder may be adjourned, from time to time, without notice other than oral proclamation of such adjournment at the time and place of sale, or at the time and place of any adjourned sale.
(e) The rights and remedies of Secured Party upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement (whether such rights and remedies are conferred by statute, by rule of law, by this Deed of Trust, by any Loan Document, as defined in the Credit Agreement, or otherwise) may be exercised by Secured Party, in the sole discretion of Secured Party, either alternatively, concurrently, or consecutively in any order. The exercise by Secured Party or Trustee at the express direction of Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not be construed to be an election of remedies nor a waiver of any other rights and remedies Secured Party might have unless, and limited to the extent that, Secured Party shall so elect or so waive by an instrument in writing delivered to Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that this Deed of Trust covers both Real Property and Personal Property, Secured Party may, in the sole discretion of Secured Party, either alternatively, concurrently, or consecutively in any order:
(i) proceed as to both the Real Property and Personal Property in accordance with Secured Party’s rights and remedies in respect of the Real Property; or
(ii) proceed as to the Real Property in accordance with Secured Party’s rights and remedies in respect of the Real Property and proceed as to
20
the Personal Property in accordance with Secured Party’s rights and remedies in respect of the Personal Property.
If Secured Party should elect to proceed as to both the Real Property and Personal Property collateral in accordance with Secured Party’s rights and remedies in respect to the Real Property:
(i) all, or any portion of, the Real Property and all, or any portion of, the Personal Property may be sold, in the manner and at the time(s) and place(s) provided in this Deed of Trust, in one lot, or in separate lots consisting of any combination or combinations of Real Property and Personal Property, as the Secured Party may elect, in the sole discretion of Secured Party.
(ii) Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a disposition of the Personal Property collateral in accordance with Secured Party’s rights and remedies in respect of Real Property, as hereinabove provided, is a commercially reasonable disposition of said collateral.
If Secured Party should elect to proceed as to the Personal Property collateral in accordance with Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect to personal property, Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies conferred on a secured party by the Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions (NRS 104.9101 et seq.; as amended and recodified from time to time). Secured Party may, in the sole discretion of Secured Party, appoint Trustee as the agent of Secured Party for the purpose of disposition of the Personal Property in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions.
(f) Every right, power and remedy granted to Trustee or Secured Party in this Deed of Trust shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and in addition to all rights, powers and remedies granted at law or in equity or by statute, and each such right, power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Secured Party, and the exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the time or thereafter, any other right, power or remedy. In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted under the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust, but are not completed, the Trustee shall be entitled to charge and collect the necessary costs and expenses incurred by it.
20. Substitution of Trustee. The parties hereto agree that Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time hereafter, without notice, appoint and substitute another Trustee or Trustees, corporations or persons, in place of the Trustee herein named to execute this Trust. Upon such appointment, either with or without a conveyance to the substituted Trustee or Trustees by the Trustee herein named, or by any substituted Trustee in case the right of appointment is exercised more than once,
21
the new and substituted Trustee or Trustees in each instance shall be vested with all the rights, titles, interests, powers, duties and trusts in the premises which are vested in and conferred upon the Trustee herein named; and such new and substituted Trustee or Trustees shall be considered the successors and assigns of the Trustee who is named herein within the meaning of this Deed of Trust, and substituted in his place and stead. Each such appointment and substitution shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing which shall recite the parties to, and the book and page of record of this Deed of Trust, and be executed and acknowledged by Secured Party, and, upon recordation in the office of the Clerk of the County Commission of Hancock County, West Virginia, shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution and appointment of such successor Trustee or Trustees, and notice of such proper substitution and appointment to all parties in interest. In the event two or more Trustees are named herein, or in the event two or more substitute Trustees are appointed under the provisions of this Section 20, any one or more of such Trustees or substitute Trustees may act in the execution of this trust with the full power and authority granted hereunder. The Trustee herein may act by agent or attorney in the execution of this Trust and it shall not be necessary for the Trustee to be present in person at any foreclosure sale conducted hereunder.
21. Binding Nature. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors, and assigns. It is expressly agreed that the Trust created hereby is irrevocable by Grantor. If there is more than one Grantor hereunder, the obligations of said Grantors hereunder shall be joint and several.
22. Acceptance of Trust; Recognition by Trustee. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law, reserving, however, unto the Trustee, the right to resign from the duties and obligations imposed herein whenever Trustee, in its sole discretion, deems such resignation to be in the best interest of the Trustee. Written notice of such resignation shall be given to Grantor and Secured Party.
23. Waiver of Certain Rights by Grantor. Grantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) all rights to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto; and (ii) the rights to have any of the Property or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for the indebtedness secured hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or of any other security for any such indebtedness.
24. Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall be deemed to have appointed and does hereby appoint Secured Party the attorney-in-fact of Grantor to:
22
(i) prepare, sign, file and/or record one or more financing statements, any documents of title or registration, or any similar papers; and (ii) take any other action(s) deemed necessary, useful or desirable by Secured Party to perfect and preserve the lien and/or security interest of this Deed of Trust against the rights or interests of third persons.
25. Environmental Indemnity.
(a) Grantor agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless Secured Party and each of the Banks, as well as their respective, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and shareholders (individually, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses or liabilities, of any kind or nature from any investigations, suits, claims or demands, including reasonable counsel fees incurred in investigating or defending such claim, suffered by any of them and caused by, relating to, arising out of, resulting from or in any way connected with: (a) the presence in, on or under the Property of any Hazardous Materials, referred to below, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from the Property; (b) any violation of Hazardous Materials Laws, as also referred to below; or (c) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off the Property, whether prior to or during the term of the Credit Facility, and whether by Grantor or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Grantor or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on the Property, in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on or under the Property. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on or under the Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any property or natural resources, arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances. It is provided, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to indemnify, protect, defend or save harmless an Indemnified Party if, and to the extent that, any such loss, damage, expense or liability was caused by: (i) the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of such Indemnified Party; or (ii) the breach of this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Indemnified Party or the breach of any laws, rules or regulations by such Indemnified Party (other than those breaches arising from Grantor’s default). Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Grantor under this Section 25 shall be unlimited personal obligations of Grantor and shall survive any foreclosure under this Deed of Trust, any transfer in lieu thereof, any reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and any satisfaction of the obligations which are secured hereby. Grantor acknowledges that Secured Party’s appraisal of the Property is such that Secured Party would not extend the Credit Facility but for the personal liability undertaken by Grantor for the
23
obligations under this Section 25. Grantor and Secured Party agree that any obligations of Grantor under this Section 25 which may also be obligations of Grantor under the Environmental Certificate (which is referred to below) shall be deemed to arise solely under this Section 25 and not under the Environmental Certificate. The obligations of Grantor under this Section 25 are separate from and in addition to the obligations to pay the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other obligations secured by, or imposed under, this Deed of Trust. The liability of Grantor under this Section 25 shall not be limited to or measured by the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby or the value of the Property. Grantor shall be fully and personally liable for all obligations of Grantor under this Section 25 and a separate action may be brought and prosecuted against Grantor under this Section 25. Grantor waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of this Section 25 or to any action brought to enforce this Section 25. This Section 25 shall not affect, impair or waive any rights or remedies of Secured Party or any obligations of Grantor with respect to Hazardous Materials created or imposed by Hazardous Materials Laws (including Secured Party’s rights of reimbursement or contribution under Hazardous Materials Laws). The remedies under this Section 25 are cumulative and in addition to all remedies provided by law.
(b) In case any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party based upon any of the above and in respect to which indemnity may be sought against Grantor, Secured Party shall promptly notify Grantor in writing, and Grantor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by Grantor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the payment of all costs and expenses and the right to negotiate and consent to settlement upon the consent of the Indemnified Party. Upon reasonable determination made by an Indemnified Party that such counsel would have a conflict representing such Indemnified Party and Grantor, the applicable Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ, at the expense of Grantor, separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. Grantor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent, but if settled with Grantor’s consent, or if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any such action, Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(c) As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials Laws” shall mean any and all state, federal and local statutes, regulations, ordinances, plans, policies or decrees and the like relating to: (i) environmental matters, including, without limitation, those relating to fines, injunctions, penalties, damages, contribution, cost recovery compensation, losses or injuries resulting from the release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials; (ii) the generation, use, storage, transportation, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials; or (iii) occupational safety and health, industrial hygiene; in any manner applicable to Grantor or to any of the Property; all including, without limitation, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1251, et seq.),
24

(d) As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” or “Hazardous Materials” shall mean (a) any chemical, material or substance at any time defined as or included in the definition of “hazardous substances”, “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous materials”, “extremely hazardous waste”, “restricted hazardous waste”, “infectious waste”, “toxic substances” or any other formulations intended to define, list or classify substances by reason of deleterious properties such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, carcinogenicity, toxicity, reproduction toxicity, “TCLP toxicity” or “EP toxicity” or words of similar import under any applicable Hazardous Materials Laws or publications promulgated pursuant thereto; (b) any petroleum, including crude oil and any fraction thereof, petroleum derived substances, any drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated with the exploration, development or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal resources, any flammable substances or explosives, any radioactive materials; (c) asbestos in any regulated form, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, electrical equipment which contains any oil or dielectric fluid containing levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in excess of fifty parts per million; (d) any pesticides; and (e) any other chemical, material or substance, exposure to which is prohibited, limited or regulated by any governmental authority under any Hazardous Material Law or which could reasonably be expected to pose a hazard to the health and safety of the owners, occupants, or any persons in the vicinity of, the Real Property.
25
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 25 to the contrary, the indemnity provided herein shall not extend to any Environmental Event (as defined below) which occurs subsequent to the Title Divestment Date (as also defined below). As used herein “Environmental Event” shall mean an occurrence of any of the following: (i) a release of Hazardous Materials onto, under or from the Real Property; or (ii) any activity undertaken at the Real Property in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law. As used herein “Title Divestment Date” shall mean the date when: (i) a consummated foreclosure has occurred (or a deed in lieu of such foreclosure has been recorded) under this Deed of Trust which indefeasibly divests Grantor of any interest which it may have in the Real Property; and (ii) Grantor has indefeasibly delivered possession and control of the Real Property to the person or entity in which the Real Property title has vested. For the purposes of this Section 25, all Environmental Events shall be rebuttably presumed to have occurred prior to the Title Divestment Date, which presumption may only be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.
26. Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall, in all respects, be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of conflicts of law; provided, however, that with respect to the perfection and enforcement of the liens and interests granted herein and the foreclosure and receivership remedies herein, this Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia. To the extent that this Deed of Trust is governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, all references herein to the “Commercial Code” shall be to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Nevada. To the extent that this Deed of Trust is governed in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia, all references herein to the “Commercial Code” shall be to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of West Virginia.

(iv) To the extent permitted by law and without regard to the solvency or insolvency at the time of any Person then liable for the payment of any of the Secured Obligations or the then value of the Personal Property, and without requiring any bond from any party to such proceedings, be entitled to request the appointment of a special receiver or receivers (who may be Secured Party or any other Bank) for the Personal Property or any part thereof and for the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income therefrom, which receiver shall have such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to request the entry of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole or any part of the Personal Property be segregated, sequestered and impounded for the benefit of Secured Party and the other Banks; and
