AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Trustor hereby covenants to and agrees with Beneficiary
as follows:
SECTION 4.1. SECURED OBLIGATIONS OF TRUSTOR. Trustor
will perform, observe and comply with its Secured Obligations
arising under this Deed of Trust and shall continue to be liable for
the performance of its Secured Obligations arising under this Deed
of Trust until discharged in full, notwithstanding any actions of
partial foreclosure that may be brought hereunder to recover any
amount or amounts expended by Beneficiary on behalf of Trustor in
order to cure any of Trustor's defaults or to satisfy any of
Trustor's obligations or covenants under any agreement relating to
the Trust Estate and to which Trustor is a party or by which the
Trust Estate is bound.
SECTION 4.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; MAINTENANCE OF
APPROVALS. Except as expressly permitted by the Indenture, Trustor
shall (i) comply in all material respects with all requirements of
law applicable to the ownership, operation, use and occupancy of all
or any portion of the Trust Estate, whether or not such compliance
requires work or remedial measures that are ordinary or
extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or structural or
nonstructural, and (ii) maintain in full force and effect all
authorizations, approvals or other actions, including, without
limitation, Gaming Licenses and liquor licenses and permits, which
are necessary for the performance of Trustor's obligations pursuant
to this Deed of Trust or for the business conducted by Trustor on
the Property.
SECTION 4.3. OTHER REPORTS. Trustor shall provide from
time to time such additional information regarding Trustor or the

may reasonably request.

required by Section 4.16 of the Indenture ("Insurance Policies").
SECTION 4.5. WASTE AND REPAIR. Except as expressly
permitted by Section 4.15 of the Indenture, Trustor shall at all
times cause the Trust Estate to be maintained in normal working
order and condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted). Trustor

done thereon anything not otherwise permitted in the Indenture that
may in any way impair the security of this Deed of Trust. Trustor
shall not abandon the Property nor
18
leave the Property unprotected or deserted.
SECTION 4.6. IMPOSITIONS; IMPOUNDS; TAXES; CAPITAL
COSTS.
4.6.1. IMPOSITIONS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY. Trustor shall
pay when due all Impositions (or currently payable installments
thereof) that are or that may become a lien on the Property or are
assessed against the Property or the Rents; provided, however, that
Trustor may, at its sole cost and expense, contest the amount or
validity or application of any such Impositions by appropriate legal
proceedings promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with
due diligence; provided that (i) neither the Property nor any part
thereof will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
canceled, or lost as a result of such contest, and (ii) except in
the case of a Lien junior to the Lien of this Deed of Trust, Trustor
shall have posted such bond or furnished such other security as may
be reasonably required by Beneficiary or as required by Applicable
Laws to release such Lien.
4.6.2. IMPOUNDS; IMPOUND ACCOUNT. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the request
of Beneficiary, Trustor will pay to Beneficiary monthly an amount
equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual cost (or such greater
amount as may be reasonably necessary for Beneficiary to have on
hand sufficient funds to pay the next installment prior to
delinquency) of Impositions on the Property (but only those
Impositions defined in clause (i) of the definition of
"Impositions"), together with an amount equal to the premium for
hazard and other required insurance in order to accumulate with
Beneficiary sufficient funds to pay such Impositions and premiums at
least 30 days prior to their respective due dates. Such funds shall
be held by Beneficiary on a commingled basis and shall not bear
interest. Said accumulated funds shall be paid and applied by
Beneficiary with respect to such Impositions and insurance premiums
as and when due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Trustor is paying
Impositions and premiums for hazard and other required insurance to
Foothill Capital Corporation ("Foothill") pursuant to the terms of
that certain Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, and Fixture Filing
with Financing Statement and Assignment of Rents, dated as of the
date hereof (the "Foothill Deed of Trust"), made by Trustor, to
Trustee, for the benefit of Foothill, then Trustor's requirements
under this Section 4.6.2 shall be satisfied. If Beneficiary is
entitled to request Trustor to comply with the terms of this Section
4.6.2 and such payments are not being required by or made to
Foothill for any reason, Trustor shall promptly comply with the
terms of this Section 4.6.2.
SECTION 4.7. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Trustor shall, at its
own expense, perform such acts as may be necessary, or that
Beneficiary may request at any time, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver all such additional papers and instruments (including,
without limitation, a declaration of no setoff) and all such further
assurances of title and will do or cause to be done all further acts
and things as may be proper or reasonably necessary to carry out the
purpose hereof and to subject to the
19
Liens hereof any property intended by the terms hereof to be covered
thereby and any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or
betterments thereto.
SECTION 4.8. REIMBURSEMENT: WAIVER OF OFFSETS.
4.8.1. In the event any tax, stamp tax, assessment,
water rate, sewer rate, insurance premium, repair, rent charge,
debt, claim, inspection, Imposition or lien having priority over the
Lien of this Deed of Trust, or in the event any other amount
required to be paid by Trustor hereunder shall remain unpaid and
Trustor is not contesting such amount pursuant to the terms hereof
or the Indenture, Beneficiary shall have the right to pay such
amount and shall have the right to declare immediately due and
payable any such amount so paid. Any amount so paid by Beneficiary
shall bear interest at the default interest rate specified in
Section 4.1 of the Indenture ("Default Rate") from the date of
payment by Beneficiary, shall constitute an additional Secured
Obligation secured hereby, prior to any right, title or interest in
or claim upon the Trust Estate attaching or accruing subsequent to
the Lien of this Deed of Trust, shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust and shall be payable by Trustor to Beneficiary within thirty
(30) days after receipt by Trustor of written demand.
4.8.2. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the
Indenture or in the other Security Documents, all sums payable by
Trustor hereunder or under the other Security Documents shall be
paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or
defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or
reduction, and the obligations and liabilities of Trustor hereunder
shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected by
reason of: (i) any damage to or destruction of or any condemnation
or similar taking of the Trust Estate or any part thereof; (ii) any
restriction or prevention of or interference with any use of the
Trust Estate or any part thereof; (iii) any title defect or
encumbrance or any eviction from the Property or the Improvements or
any part thereof by title paramount or otherwise; (iv) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment,
dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to
Beneficiary, or any action taken with respect to this Deed of Trust
by any trustee or receiver of Beneficiary, or by any court, in any
such proceeding; (v) any claim which Trustor has or might have
against Beneficiary; (vi) any default or failure on the part of
Beneficiary to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of
any other agreement with Trustor or (vii) any other occurrence
whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing; whether
or not Trustor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the
foregoing. Trustor waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by
statute or otherwise to any abatement, suspension, deferment,
diminution or reduction of any sum secured hereby and payable by
Trustor.
SECTION 4.9. LITIGATION. Trustor will, promptly upon
obtaining actual knowledge thereof, give notice in writing to
Beneficiary of any litigation commenced that is likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Property or the Liens created
20
hereby other than unlawful detainer proceedings brought by Trustor
in connection with the Leases.
SECTION 4.10. CERTAIN REPORTS. Trustor will, promptly
and in any event within fifteen days after actual receipt by Trustor

inchoate lien) upon the Trust Estate.
SECTION 4.12. FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT. Trustor hereby
represents and warrants to Beneficiary under penalty of perjury
that:
(i) Trustor's U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number is
91-2118674;
(ii) Trustor's business address is set forth in the
preamble hereto; and
(iii) Trustor is not a "foreign person" within the
meaning of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Code (i.e., Trustor is not
a nonresident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined in the
Code and regulations promulgated thereunder). Trustor agrees to
indemnify, defend, protect and hold Beneficiary and Beneficiary's
agents harmless of, from and against any and all loss, liability,
costs, damages, claims or causes of action including reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses which may be actually incurred
by Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents by reason of any failure of
any representation or warranty made by Trustor in this Section 4.12
to be true and correct in all respects, including, but not limited
to, any liability for failure to withhold any amount required under
Code Section 1445 in the event of foreclosure or other transfer of
the Property.
SECTION 4.13. PRESERVATION OF CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS. Except
as otherwise expressly permitted by the Indenture or as would not
have a Material Adverse Effect, Trustor shall, prior to delinquency,
default or forfeiture, perform all material 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
21
or other authorization (a) under which it holds any Tangible
Property, or (b) which constitutes part of the Intangible Property.
SECTION 4.14. TAX SERVICE CONTRACT. At any time after
the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not such Event of
Default is cured), at the request of Beneficiary and at Trustor's
and/or its permitted successor's sole cost and expense, Beneficiary
shall be furnished a tax service contract in form satisfactory to
Beneficiary issued by a tax reporting agency satisfactory to
Beneficiary, which contract shall remain in force until indefeasible
discharge in full of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 4.15. LIENS. Trustor shall pay and promptly
discharge, at Trustor's sole cost and expense, all Liens upon the
Trust Estate, or any part thereof or interest therein other than the
Permitted Liens. Trustor shall have the right to contest in good
faith the validity of any such Lien, provided Trustor shall first
post such bond or furnish such other security as may be reasonably
required by Beneficiary or as required by Applicable Law to release
such Lien, and provided further that Trustor shall thereafter
diligently proceed to cause such Lien to be removed and discharged.
If Trustor shall fail to so diligently proceed or to discharge any
such Lien, then upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default (unless the Property is in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, canceled, or lost as a result of such contest, in which
case, Beneficiary may act in the absence of an Event of Default),
then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Beneficiary,
Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same,
either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the
discharge of such Lien by depositing in court a bond for the amount
claimed or otherwise giving security for such Lien, or in such
manner as is or may be prescribed by law. Any amount so paid by
Beneficiary shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of
payment by Beneficiary, shall constitute an additional Secured
Obligation secured hereby, prior to any right, title or interest in
or claim upon the Trust Estate attaching or accruing subsequent to
the Lien of this Deed of Trust, shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust and shall be payable by Trustor to Beneficiary upon demand.
SECTION 4.16. INSPECTION. Trustor shall permit
Beneficiary, upon 24 hours' prior notice, to enter upon and inspect,
during normal business hours, the Property and the construction and
operation thereof, for such purposes reasonably deemed necessary by
Beneficiary; provided, however, that no such prior notice shall be
necessary and such inspection may occur at any time if (i)
Beneficiary reasonably believes that an emergency exists or is
imminent or (ii) the giving or delivery of such notice is prohibited
or stayed by Applicable Laws.

hereunder if not cured within such applicable cure period:

connection with the Indenture or in any other document provided by Trustor,
including this Deed of Trust, is found to be materially false or misleading and

misleading within sixty (60) days after notice from Beneficiary of such
statement, representation or warranty was made, but in no event beyond the
maturity date of the Notes.

Beneficiary may:
8.2.1. In person, by agent, or by a receiver, and without
regard to the adequacy of security, the solvency of Trustor or any other matter,
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, in its
own name or in the name of Trustee, (ii) inspect the Property for the purpose of
determining the existence, location, nature and magnitude of any past or present
release of Hazardous Materials into, onto, beneath or from the Property, (iii)
negotiate with Governmental Authorities with respect to compliance with
Environmental Laws and remedial measures, (iv) take any action necessary to
ensure compliance with Environmental Laws, including, but not limited to,

the Rents, issues and profits thereof and apply the same, less costs and
expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees
actually incurred, to the Secured Obligations, all in such order as Beneficiary
may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of said Property, the
collection of such Rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as

invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, or deprive Beneficiary of the
benefits of any indemnity set forth herein;

the manner provided by Applicable Laws for the foreclosure of mortgages or deeds
of trust of real property;
8.2.3. Seek a judgment that Trustor has breached its
covenants, representations and/or warranties set forth in this Deed of Trust, or
any other Security Document regarding Environmental Laws and/or Hazardous

arising from, an action for breach of contract, without regard to whether
Beneficiary has commenced an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust, and to seek
injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief and/or the recovery of any and
all Environmental Damages, it being conclusively presumed between Trustor and
Beneficiary that any reasonable costs advanced or expenses actually incurred
25
by Beneficiary relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action
with respect to the Property were made or incurred by Beneficiary in good faith;
8.2.4. Intentionally Deleted;
8.2.5. If the Secured Obligations become or are declared
immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Indenture and Trustor
fails to make such payment as and when due, then Beneficiary may waive its Liens
against any parcel of the Property or all or any portion of the Fixtures or
Personalty attached to the Property, to the extent such property is determined
to be environmentally impaired, and to exercise any and all rights of an
unsecured creditor against Trustor and all of Trustor's assets for the recovery
of any deficiency, including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order.
TRUSTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN THIS DEED OF TRUST OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER SECURITY
DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY NONRECOURSE OR EXCULPATORY
LANGUAGE, IF ANY), TRUSTOR SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY RECOVERY DESCRIBED
IN THIS PARAGRAPH 8.2.5. AND SUCH LIABILITY SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT

remedies; and/or
8.2.7. Pursue any and all other remedies it may have, at law
or in equity, or under any other document or instrument, except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture.

provided in Section 8.1 hereof, then, in that event, the entire Subsidiary
Guarantee Obligations, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall, at the
option of Beneficiary, be and become at once due and payable without notice to
Trustor, and Trustee shall, at the request of Beneficiary, but subject to
Applicable Gaming Laws, invoke the power of sale and any other remedies
permitted by Applicable Law. If Beneficiary directs Trustee to invoke the power
of sale, Beneficiary shall give written notice to Trustee of the occurrence of
an Event of Default and of Beneficiary's election to cause the Trust Estate to
be sold. Trustee shall record a copy of such notice in the county in which the
Trust Estate is located. Trustee shall publish a notice of sale for the time and
in the manner provided by Applicable Law and shall mail copies of such notice of
sale in the manner prescribed by Applicable Law to Trustor and to the other
persons prescribed by Applicable Law. After the lapse of such time as may be
required by Applicable Law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the
Trust Estate at public auction to the highest bidder for cash at the time and
place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more
parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine. Trustee may postpone the
sale of all or any
26
parcel of the Trust Estate by public announcement at the time and place of any
previously scheduled sale. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser Trustee's
certificate describing the Trust Estate and the time when the purchaser will be
entitled to Trustee's deed thereto. The recitals in Trustee's deed shall be
prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. Any Person,
including, without limitation, Trustor or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale
and Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser
or purchasers against the claims of all Persons claiming by, through or under
Trustor. If allowed by Applicable Law, Beneficiary, if it is the purchaser, may
apply the amount of the Secured Obligations then due and payable toward payment
of the purchase price. Trustor hereby waives its right to require that the Trust
Estate be sold as separate tracts or units in the event of foreclosure. Trustee,
upon such sale and after expiration of the applicable redemption periods, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws, shall make (without any covenant or
warranty, express or implied), execute and, after due payment made, deliver to
purchaser or purchasers, or his or their heirs or assigns, a deed or deeds, or
other record or records of interest, as the case may be, in and to the Trust
Estate so sold that shall convey to the purchaser all the title and interest of
Trustor in the Trust Estate (or the portion thereof sold), but without any
warranty, express or implied, and after deducting all costs, fees and expenses
of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including costs of evidence of title in
connection with such sale, shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of (a)
all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest
at the Default Rate and (b) all other sums then secured hereby and the
remainder, if any, to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto.
SECTION 8.4. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
SECTION 8.5. PROTECTION OF SECURITY. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, then upon at least 15 days prior written
notice to Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligations or defaults
hereunder, Beneficiary or Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to: (i) make payment or otherwise perform such obligations of Trustor upon which
such Event of Default is based in such manner and to such extent as either may
reasonably deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary and
Trustee being authorized to enter upon the Property for such purpose; (ii)
appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect, in any
manner whatsoever, the Secured Obligations, the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iii) pay, purchase or compromise any
encumbrance, charge or lien (other than Permitted Liens); (iv) advance any and
all costs and expenses reasonably necessary to cure or pay Environmental Damages
or otherwise to comply with Environmental Laws; and (v) in exercising any such
powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay attorneys' fees. Trustor
hereby agrees to repay within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand
all reasonable sums actually expended by Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to this
Section 8.5. with interest at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by
Beneficiary, and such sums, with interest, shall be secured hereby.
SECTION 8.6. RECEIVER. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of strict right and without
regard to the then value of
27
the Property, shall have the right to apply, ex parte or otherwise, to any court
having jurisdiction to appoint a Receiver or Receivers of the Property, subject
to Applicable Gaming Laws. Any such Receiver or Receivers shall have all the
powers and duties of receivers under Applicable Laws in like or similar cases
and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided in
this Deed of Trust, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers
until the date of confirmation of sale, unless such receivership is sooner
terminated.
SECTION 8.7. CURING OF DEFAULTS.
8.7.1. If Trustor shall at any time fail to perform or comply
with any of the terms, covenants and conditions required on Trustor's part to be
performed and complied with under this Deed of Trust or any other Security
Document relating to the Trust Estate (after the lapse of any cure period
provided therein), then Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the
obligation, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, without waiving or releasing any of the Secured Obligations, to:
8.7.1.1. make any payments thereunder payable by
Trustor and take out, pay for and maintain any of the insurance policies
provided for therein, and/or
8.7.1.2. after the expiration of any applicable grace
period and subject to Trustor's rights to contest certain obligations
specifically granted hereby, perform any such other acts thereunder on the part
of Trustor to be performed and enter upon the Property and incur reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses for such purpose.
8.7.2. The making by Beneficiary of such payment out of
Beneficiary's own funds shall not, however, be deemed to cure such default by
Trustor, and the same shall not be so cured unless and until Trustor shall have
reimbursed Beneficiary within the applicable cure period for such payment
including interest at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure. All
sums so paid and all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred and paid by
Beneficiary in connection with the performance of any such act, together with
interest on unpaid balances thereof at the Default Rate from the respective
dates of Beneficiary's making of each such payment, shall be secured by the lien
of this Deed of Trust, prior to any right, title or interest in or claim upon
the Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the lien of this Deed of Trust,
and shall be payable by Trustor to Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written demand.
SECTION 8.8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All remedies of Beneficiary
provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies provided in the other Security Documents or provided by
Applicable Law, including any banker's lien and right of offset. The exercise of
any right or remedy by Beneficiary hereunder shall not in any way constitute a
cure or waiver of default hereunder or under the
28
Security Documents, or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of
default, or prejudice Beneficiary in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder
or under the Security Documents unless, in the exercise of said rights, all
Secured Obligations are fully discharged.

SECTION 10.10. Assignment of Rents. Subject to Section 10.2.
and to Applicable Gaming Laws, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all of the Rents, whether now due, past due
or to become due, and hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right,
power and authority to collect such Rents and apply the same to the Secured
Obligations secured hereby. Trustor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true
and lawful attorney, at the option of Beneficiary at any time while an Event of
Default exists, to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts,
releases and satisfactions, and to sue, either in the name of Trustor or in the
name of Beneficiary, for all such Rents and apply the same to the Secured
Obligations secured hereby. It is understood and agreed that neither the
foregoing assignment of Rents to Beneficiary nor the exercise by Beneficiary or
any of its rights or remedies under this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to make
Beneficiary a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in
any manner with respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or
operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Beneficiary, in person
or by its own agent, assumes actual possession thereof, nor shall appointment of
a Receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by
agreement with Trustor or the entering into possession of the Property or any
part thereof by such Receiver be deemed to make Beneficiary a
"mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with
respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or
any portion thereof.
SECTION 10.11. Collection of Rents. Notwithstanding anything

rights with respect thereto, subject to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the license hereinabove
granted to Trustor shall, without the requirement of the giving of notice or
taking of any action by any party, be revoked, and Beneficiary shall have the
complete right and authority to exercise and enforce any and all of its rights
and remedies provided herein or by Applicable Laws.

times comply with the following requirements; provided, however, that in
connection with the non-compliance with any of the provisions contained in
Sections 11.2.1 through 11.2.4, inclusive, no breach shall be deemed to have
occurred if Trustor complies with the requirements of Section 11.2.5 with
respect thereto:
11.13.1. Trustor shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Material to be brought upon, treated, kept, stored, disposed of, discharged,
released, produced, manufactured, generated, refined or used upon, within or
beneath the Property or any portion thereof by Trustor, its agents, employees,
contractors, or invitees, or any other Person, except in compliance with all

the commission by Trustor, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or by
any other Person of a violation of any Environmental Laws upon, within or
beneath the Property or any portion thereof.
32

respect to the Property or permit any of its agents to create or suffer to exist
any environmental lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance of any

11.13.5. Trustor shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
take any and all actions required by any federal, state or local governmental
agency or political subdivision (as hereinafter provided) to mitigate
Environmental Damages, which requirements or necessity arise from the presence
upon, about or beneath the Property, of Hazardous Materials or a violation of
Environmental Law or the disposal, discharge or release of Hazardous Materials
from the Property ("Environmental Action"). Such actions shall include, but not
be limited to, the investigation of the environmental condition of the Property,
the preparation of any feasibility studies, reports or remedial plans, and the
performance of any cleanup, remediation, containment, operation, maintenance,
monitoring or restoration work, whether on or off of the Property. Trustor shall
take all actions as are reasonably necessary under Environmental Laws to allow
unrestricted activities and operations on the Property. Trustor shall proceed
diligently with such investigatory and remedial actions, and in all cases such
actions shall be in accordance with Applicable Laws. Any such actions shall be
performed in a good, safe and workmanlike manner and shall minimize any impact
on the business conducted at the Property. Trustor shall pay all Environmental
Damages in connection with such investigatory and remedial activities,
including, but not limited to, all power and utility costs, and any and all
taxes or fees that may be applicable to such activities. Trustor shall promptly
provide to Beneficiary copies of testing results and reports that are generated
in connection with the above activities. Promptly upon completion of such

Applicable Laws and regulations, remove all associated equipment, and restore
the Property to the extent reasonably possible, which shall include, without

times (except in cases of emergency or imminent threat of harm to human health
or the environment), the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 11.2.7 of this Deed
of Trust) shall have the right but not the obligation to enter upon the Property
to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property and
its use, including conducting environmental assessments, audit and sampling
(including, but not limited to soil and groundwater sampling if Trustor has a
reasonable belief that such soil or groundwater may be contaminated) not more
than once a year, except where Trustor has a reasonable belief that a release of
Hazardous Materials or a violation of Environmental Laws has occurred or is
likely to occur, all at the expense of Trustor. Trustor and Trustee shall
cooperate in choosing Consultants to conduct such work and Trustor shall provide
access to the Indemnities and their agents, representatives, consultants and
employees
33
(together, the "Indemnitees" for purposes of this Section 11.2.5) in connection
with such investigations. In the event that Trustor fails to fulfill its
obligations under this Deed of Trust relating to environmental matters,
including this Section 11.2.5, following the expiration of 30 days written
notice by Beneficiary of its intent to invoke its rights under this section,
unless Beneficiary has a reasonable belief that a more immediate response is
required under Environmental Laws, Beneficiary shall have the right to undertake
any action necessary or prudent under Environmental Laws, and shall have the
right to pursue any and all legal theories and remedies provided by law or
contract to enforce the covenants in this Section 11.2 and the other provisions
of this Article 11. Nothing in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to create, or
construed as creating, any liability of the Indemnitees under Environmental Laws
for environmental conditions relating to the Property.
11.13.6. If Trustor shall become aware of or receive notice or
other communication concerning any actual, alleged, suspected or threatened

present activities of any Person thereon, including, but not limited to, notice
or other communication concerning any actual or threatened investigation,
inquiry, lawsuit, claim, citation, directive, summons, proceedings, complaint,
notice, order, writ or injunction, relating to same, then Trustor shall deliver
to Beneficiary, within seven (7) days of the receipt of such notice or
communication by Trustor, a written description of said violation, liability, or
actual or threatened event or condition, together with copies of any documents
evidencing same. Receipt of such notice shall not be deemed to create any
obligation on the part of Beneficiary to defend or otherwise respond to any such
notification.
11.13.7. Trustor agrees to indemnify, reimburse, defend,
exonerate, pay and hold harmless Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, the
Holders, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees,
agents, contractors, subcontractors, experts, licensees, affiliates, lessees,
trustees, and invitees (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any
and all Environmental Claims and Environmental Damages arising in any manner
whatsoever out of Environmental Laws pertaining to the Trustor's operations and
activities and the Land and the activities thereon, whether foreseeable or
unforeseeable, and regardless of when such Environmental Claims arose and
Environmental Damages occurred, except to the extent directly caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees. The indemnity obligations
of Trustor contained in this Section 11.2.7. shall survive the termination,
release and/or reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and the discharge of Trustor's
other obligations hereunder.

SECTION 12.14. RELEASE. In the event that Trustor is released

ARTICLE 13
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 13.15. BENEFICIARY'S EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S
FEES. Regardless of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Trustor
agrees to pay to Beneficiary any and all advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and
any experts or agents, that Beneficiary may reasonably incur in connection with
(i) the administration of this Deed of Trust, including any amendment thereto or
any workout or restructuring, (ii) the creation, perfection or continuation of
the Lien of this Deed of Trust or protection of its priority or the Trust
Estate, including the discharging of any prior or junior Lien or adverse claim
against the Trust Estate or any part thereof that is not permitted hereby or by
the Indenture, (iii) the custody, preservation or sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any of the Trust Estate, (iv) the exercise or

foreclosure of the Lien of this Deed of Trust) or any bankruptcy proceeding or
(v) the failure by Trustor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
All such amounts and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be payable on
demand, together with interest at the Default Rate.
SECTION 13.16. INDEMNITY. Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Indemnitees against (i) any and all transfer taxes,
documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by
reason of the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and the other
Security Documents, and (ii) any and all claims, actions, liabilities, costs and
expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against any of them, in any way relating to or arising out of this Deed of Trust
or any action taken or omitted by them hereunder, except to the extent that they
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee.
SECTION 13.17. WAIVERS; MODIFICATIONS IN WRITING. No amendment
of any provision of this Deed of Trust (including a waiver thereof or consent
relating thereto) shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by Beneficiary and Trustor. Any waiver or consent relating to any
provision of this Deed of Trust shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Trustor
in any case shall entitle Trustor to any other or further notice or demand in
similar circumstances, except as otherwise provided herein or as required by
law.
35
SECTION 13.18. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; FAILURE OR DELAY. The
rights and remedies provided for under this Deed of Trust are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights and remedies that may be available to Beneficiary
under Applicable Laws, the other Security Documents or otherwise. No failure or
delay on the part of Beneficiary in the exercise of any power, right or remedy
under this Deed of Trust shall impair such power, right or remedy or shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or remedy preclude other or further exercise of such or any
other power, right or remedy.
SECTION 13.19. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and, subject to the next sentence, inure to the benefit of Trustor
and Beneficiary and their respective successors and assigns. Except as expressly
permitted under the Indenture, Trustor shall not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. The benefits of this Deed of Trust shall pass automatically with
any assignment of the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof), to the
extent of such assignment.
SECTION 13.20. INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants under
this Deed of Trust shall each be given independent effect so that, if a
particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant, the fact
that it would be permitted by another covenant or by an exception thereto shall
not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is
taken or condition exists.
SECTION 13.21. CHANGE OF LAW. In the event of the passage,
after the date of this Deed of Trust, of any law changing in any way the laws
now in force for the taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, or debts secured by
mortgages or deeds of trust (other than laws imposing taxes on income), or the
manner of the collection of any such taxes, so as to affect adversely the rights
of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, then an Event of Default shall be
deemed to have occurred under Section 6.1 of the Indenture; provided, however,
that no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred (i) if Trustor, within
thirty (30) days after the passage of such law, shall assume the payment of any
tax or other charge so imposed upon Beneficiary for the period remaining until
discharge in full of the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that such
assumption is permitted by Applicable Laws, (ii) if the adverse effect upon
Beneficiary of such tax or other charge is not material, or (iii) if and so long
as Trustor, at its expense, shall contest the amount or validity or application
of any such tax or other charge by appropriate legal proceedings promptly
initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence; provided that (A)
neither the Property nor any part thereof the absence of which would have a
material adverse effect on the value of the Property or would have a material
and adverse effect on Trustor's operation or use of the Property will be in
danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled, or lost as a result of
such contest and (B) Trustor shall have posted such bond or furnished such other
security as may be required by law to release such tax or charge.
36
SECTION 13.22. NO WAIVER. No waiver by Beneficiary of any
Default or breach by Trustor hereunder shall be implied from any omission by
Beneficiary to take action on account of such Default if such Default persists
or is repeated, no express waiver shall affect any Default other than the
Default in the waiver, and such waiver shall be operative only for the time and
to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term or condition
contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by Beneficiary to
or of any act by Trustor requiring further consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any
subsequent similar act.
SECTION 13.23. NOTICES. All notices and other communications
under this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered
or sent by prepaid courier, by overnight, registered or certified mail (postage
prepaid) or by prepaid telex, facsimile or telegram, and shall be deemed given
when received by the intended recipient thereof. Unless otherwise specified in a
notice given in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.9,
notices and other communications shall be given to the parties hereto at their
respective addresses (or to their respective telex or facsimile numbers)
indicated in Section 11.2 of the Indenture or, in the case of the Trustee,
Schedule 13.9 hereto.
SECTION 13.24. REFERENCES TO FORECLOSURE. References hereto to
"foreclosure"' and related phrases shall be deemed references to the appropriate
procedure in connection with Trustee's private power of sale, any judicial
foreclosure proceeding, and any deed given in lieu of any such Trustee's sale or
judicial foreclosure.
SECTION 13.25. JOINDER OF FORECLOSURE. Should Beneficiary hold
any other or additional security for the payment and performance of any Secured
Obligation, its sale or foreclosure, upon any default in such payment or
performance, in the sole discretion of Beneficiary, may be prior to, subsequent
to, or joined or otherwise contemporaneous with any sale or foreclosure
hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, in addition to the
rights herein specifically conferred, Beneficiary, at any time and from time to
time, may exercise any right or remedy now or hereafter given by Applicable Laws
to beneficiaries under deeds of trust generally, or to the holders of any
obligations of the kind hereby secured.
SECTION 13.26. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BENEFICIARY AND
TRUSTEE. At any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and
without notice, and without releasing or otherwise affecting the liability of
any Person for payment of any Secured Obligations, Beneficiary at its sole
discretion and only in writing may subordinate the Liens or either of them, or
charge hereof to the extent not prohibited by the Indenture. Beneficiary and
Trustee shall, however, promptly upon Trustor's request from time to time, join
in the following actions (including the execution and delivery of documents) as
Trustor determines are reasonably necessary for the development, use and
operation of the Trust Estate: (i) the making of any map or plat of the
Property, (ii) the granting, creating, amending and modifying of any customary
easements, covenants, conditions
37
and restrictions with respect to the Property and (iii) the application for and
prosecution of any development, building, use and similar permits and land use
and utility approvals and installations regarding the Property; provided,
however, that Beneficiary and Trustee shall not be required to join in or take
any such action (a) while an Event of Default exists, (b) to the extent such
action would impair the Liens of this Deed of Trust or the first priority
thereof or (c) to the extent prohibited by the Indenture. Any such request shall
be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate (as defined in the Indenture). Upon
written request of Beneficiary and surrender of this Deed of Trust to Trustee
for cancellation, and upon payment to Trustee of its reasonable fees and
expenses actually incurred, Trustee shall cancel and reconvey this Deed of
Trust.
SECTION 13.27. COPIES. Trustor will promptly give to
Beneficiary copies of all notices of violations relating to the Property that
Trustor receives from any Governmental Authority.
SECTION 13.28. SUBORDINATION. At the option of Beneficiary,
this Deed of Trust shall become subject and subordinate in whole or in part (but
not with respect to priority of entitlement to any insurance proceeds, damages,
awards, or compensation resulting from damage to the Property or condemnation or
exercise of power of eminent domain), to any and all easements, contracts of
sale and/or any and all leases of all or any part of the Property upon the
execution by Beneficiary and recording thereof in the official records of Gilpin
County, Colorado of a unilateral declaration to that effect. Beneficiary may
require the issuance of such title insurance endorsements to the Title Policy in
connection with any such subordination as Beneficiary, in its judgment, shall
determine are appropriate, and Trustor shall be obligated to pay any cost or
expense incurred in connection with the issuance thereof.
SECTION 13.29. SECURITY INSTRUMENTS. Trustor covenants and
agrees that if Beneficiary at any time holds additional security for any Secured
Obligations secured hereby, it may enforce the terms thereof or otherwise
realize upon the same, at its option, either before or concurrently herewith or
after a sale is made hereunder, and may apply the proceeds upon the Secured
Obligations without affecting the status or of waiving any right to exhaust all
or any other security, including the security hereunder, and without waiving any
breach or Default or any right or power whether exercised hereunder or contained
herein or in any such other security.
SECTION 13.30. SUITS TO PROTECT PROPERTY. Trustor covenants
and agrees to appear in and defend any action or proceeding the consequence of
which, if successful, would be that the Liens, or either of them, of this Deed
of Trust would not satisfy the requirements as to extent, perfection or priority
set forth in the Indenture; and to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
actually incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary, including cost of evidence of
title and attorneys' fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding
in which Beneficiary and/or Trustee may appear or be made a party.

SECTION 13.31. TRUSTOR WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Trustor waives the
benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted providing for
(i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Trust Estate, and (ii)
the benefit of all laws that may be hereafter enacted in any way extending the
time for the enforcement of the Secured Obligations or creating or extending a
period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt. To the full
extent Trustor may do so, Trustor agrees that Trustor will not at any time
insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or
hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption, and Trustor, for Trustor, Trustor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all Persons ever
claiming any interest in the Trust Estate, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Laws, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation,
appraisement, stay of execution, and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of
the liens hereby created. If any law referred to in this Section 13.17. and now
in force, of which Trustor, Trustor's heirs, devisees, representatives,
successors and assigns or other Person might take advantage despite this Section
13.17, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not
thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section 13.17. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Trustor expressly waives and relinquishes
any and all rights and remedies which Trustor may have or be able to assert by
reason of the laws of the State of Colorado pertaining to the rights and
remedies of sureties.
SECTION 13.32. CHARGES FOR STATEMENTS. Trustor agrees to pay
Beneficiary's customary charge, to the maximum amount permitted by Applicable
Laws, for any statement regarding the Secured Obligations requested by Trustor
or in its behalf.
SECTION 13.33. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust,
together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Security
Documents, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement
regarding the subject matter hereof and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions of such agreement.
SECTION 13.34. PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein contained, this Deed of Trust, the Secured Obligations and
the Lien and Security Interest of this Deed of Trust shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or
any part thereof, of any or all of the Secured Obligations is rescinded,
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to
be restored or returned by Beneficiary in connection with any bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving Trustor, any other party liable
with respect to the Secured Obligations or otherwise, if the proceeds of the
Trust Estate are required to be returned by Beneficiary under any such
circumstances, or if Beneficiary reasonably elects to return any such payment or
proceeds or any part thereof in its discretion, all as though such payment had
not been made or such proceeds not been received. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if prior to any such rescission, invalidation,
declaration, restoration or return, this Deed of Trust shall have been
terminated, released and/or reconveyed and the Lien and Security Interest or any
of the
39
Trust Estate shall have been released or terminated in connection with such
termination, release and/or reconveyance, this Deed of Trust and the Lien and
Security Interest and such portion of the Trust Estate shall be reinstated in
full force and effect, and such prior termination, release and/or reconveyance
shall not diminish, discharge or otherwise affect the obligations of Trustor in
respect of the amount of the affected payment or application of proceeds, the
Lien, the Security Interest or such portion of the Trust Estate.
SECTION 13.35. SUBSTITUTION. Beneficiary may at any time,
without giving notice to Trustor or the original or successor Trustee, and
without regard to the willingness or inability of any original or successor
Trustee to execute this trust, appoint another Person or succession of Persons
to act as Trustee, and such appointee in the execution of this trust shall have
all the powers vested in and obligations imposed upon Trustee. Should
Beneficiary be a corporation or unincorporated association, then any officer
thereof may make such appointment.
SECTION 13.36. CHOICE OF FORUM. All actions or proceedings
arising in connection with this Deed of Trust shall be tried and litigated in
state or Federal courts located in Gilpin County, State of Colorado, unless such
actions or proceedings are required to be brought in another court to obtain
subject matter jurisdiction over the matter in controversy. TRUSTOR WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, TO ASSERT THAT
IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO
THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 13.22.
SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUFFICIENT FOR PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION AGAINST
TRUSTOR, MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
TO ITS ADDRESS INDICATED IN SECTION 13.9 HEREOF.
SECTION 13.37. REGULATORY MATTERS. Whenever in this Deed of
Trust a right is given to Beneficiary, which right is affected by Applicable
Gaming Laws or Liquor Laws or the enforcement of which is subject to Applicable
Gaming Laws or Liquor Laws, the enforcement of any such right shall be subject
to Applicable Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and approval, if so required, of the
applicable Gaming Authorities or authorities enforcing the Liquor Laws.
SECTION 13.38. GUARANTOR WAIVERS. If and to the extent that
Trustor (for the purposes of this Section 13.24, "Guarantor") would be deemed or
construed to be a guarantor or surety under Applicable Law with respect to its
obligations hereunder, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
13.38.1. Guarantor expressly agrees that until each and every
term, covenant and condition of this Deed of Trust is fully performed, Guarantor
shall not be released by any act or event which, except for this provision of
this Deed of Trust might
40
be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or exoneration of a surety, or because
of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay or other act or
omission of Beneficiary or its failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as
against any Issuer or any other Guarantor, as the case may be (individually and
collectively, in its or their capacity as the entity or entities the obligations
of which are guaranteed hereunder by Guarantor, the "Principal") or Guarantor,
or because of any action taken or omitted or circumstance which might vary the
risk or affect the rights or remedies of Guarantor as against the Principal, or
because of any further dealings between the Principal and Beneficiary, whether
relating to this Deed of Trust or otherwise. Guarantor hereby expressly waives
and surrenders any defense to Guarantor's liability under this Deed of Trust
based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements, waivers or
any of them. It is the purpose and intent of this Deed of Trust that the
obligations of Guarantor under it shall be absolute and unconditional under any
and all circumstances, subject to and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Deed of Trust.
13.38.2. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section
13.24.1, Guarantor waives:
13.38.2.1. all statutes of limitations as a defense
to any action or proceeding brought against Guarantor by Beneficiary, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws;
13.38.2.2. any right it may have to require
Beneficiary to proceed against the Principal or pursue any other remedy in
Beneficiary's power to pursue, it being acknowledged and agreed that the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the
Principal hereunder, and Beneficiary shall not be required to make any demand
upon, exercise any right to declare a default by, or proceed against, the
Principal prior to proceeding against Guarantor to the full extent of
Guarantor's obligations hereunder;
13.38.2.3. any defense based on any legal disability
of the Principal and any discharge, release or limitation of the liability of
the Principal to Beneficiary, whether consensual or arising by operation of law
or any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency, or debtor-relief
proceeding, or from any other cause, or any claim that Guarantor's obligations
exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Principal;
13.38.2.4. except as specifically provided herein or
in the Indenture or any Security Document, all presentments, demands for
performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Deed of Trust and of the existence,
creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and
notices of every kind;
41
13.38.2.5. any defense based on or arising out of any
defense that the Principal may have to the payment or performance of any
obligation set forth in this Deed of Trust (other than payment or performance in
full); and
13.38.2.6. until all obligations under this Deed of
Trust have been paid and performed in full, all rights of subrogation and all
rights to enforce any remedy that Guarantor may have against the Principal, all
regardless of whether Guarantor may have made any payments to Beneficiary.
13.38.3. Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping
informed of the financial condition and business operations of the Principal and
all other circumstances affecting the Principal's ability to pay for and perform
its obligations, and agrees that Beneficiary shall have no duty to disclose to
Guarantor any information which Beneficiary may receive about the Principal's
financial condition, business operations, or any other circumstances bearing on
its ability to perform.
13.38.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided
elsewhere herein, in no event shall Guarantor have any liability under this Deed
of Trust beyond its interest in the portion of the Property that is owned by
Guarantor, and in no event shall Guarantor's obligations hereunder be enforced
against any property of Guarantor other than its interest in such portion of the
Property.
SECTION 13.39. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TRUSTOR AND
BENEFICIARY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION UNDER THIS DEED OF
TRUST OR ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES
SUCH ACTION OR ACTIONS.
