          (a) Acceleration . Declare the Secured Debt to be immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debt Documents.

          (b) Entry on Property . Enter the Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto.

6


 

          (e) Receiver . Prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to the institution of foreclosure proceedings, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or anyone claiming under Grantor or regard to the value of the Property or the solvency or insolvency of Grantor or the adequacy of any collateral for the repayment of the Secured Debt or the interest of Grantor therein, the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof.

          (f) Other . Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Secured Debt Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity (including an action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Secured Debt Documents, or a judgment on the Notes either before, during or after any proceeding to enforce this Deed of Trust).

          (g) Liquor Licenses . Grantor shall cooperate with Beneficiary to (i) facilitate the orderly transfer (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws) to Beneficiary or its designee, for the benefit of Secured Parties, all liquor license permits in respect of the Property and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, enable the continued provision of alcoholic beverages and operation of liquor services at the Property without interruption, in each case, until such time as Beneficiary or its designee shall have obtained such Permits, for the benefit of Secured Parties, but in no case for a period of more than 120 days following foreclosure by Beneficiary; provided that nothing contained herein shall require Grantor to undertake to renew any liquor license permit after foreclosure by Beneficiary. If any other party is the holder of the liquor license permits in respect of the Property, either as of the date hereof or subsequent to the date hereof, Grantor shall cause such party to deliver to Beneficiary in writing an agreement to abide by the foregoing. To the extent that Grantor or any affiliate of Grantor executes any document, application or other instrument or agreement in furtherance of the cooperation obligations of Grantor in connection with this subsection (g), Beneficiary, by its acceptance hereof, agrees to execute, for the benefit of Grantor or such affiliate, an agreement in a form and of substance reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary and Grantor, pursuant to which Secured Parties shall release and indemnify (and Secured Parties, by its acceptance hereof, agrees to execute and be bound by such agreement) Grantor or such affiliate from any and all claims arising out of such document, application or other instrument or agreement or otherwise in connection with the sale of liquor at the Property from and after the date of such termination.

          Section 3.2 Separate Sales . If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect, subject to applicable law; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

7


 

          Section 3.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive . Beneficiary (for and on behalf of the Secured Parties) shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Secured Debt Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other remedy so provided or permitted, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor, or against the Property, or against any one or more of them, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Beneficiary or Trustee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Secured Debt Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

          Section 3.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral . Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Property, any part of the Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Secured Debt Documents or their stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Property. For payment of the Secured Debt, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.

          Section 3.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshaling of Assets . To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or “moratorium law” or other law or judicial decision exempting the Property or any part thereof, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption reinstatement (to the extent permitted by law) or extension of time for payment, (b) any right to a marshaling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation, and (c) any and all rights it may have to require that the Property be sold as separate tracts or units in the event of foreclosure.

          Section 3.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings . If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Secured Debt Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor, the Secured Parties shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Debt, the Secured Debt Obligations, the Secured Debt Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of the Secured Parties shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Secured Debt Documents for such Event of Default.

8


 

          Section 3.7 Application of Proceeds . Except as otherwise provided in the Secured Debt Documents and unless otherwise required by applicable law, by its acceptance hereof, each of the Beneficiary and the Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) agrees to apply the proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Property, in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, subject to the provisions of NRS 40.462.

          Section 3.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure . The purchaser at any foreclosure sale pursuant to Section 3.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the Property. All occupants of the Property shall, at the option of such purchaser, become tenants of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand. It shall not be necessary for the purchaser at said sale to bring any action for possession of the Property other than the statutory action of forcible detainer in any justice court having jurisdiction over the Property.

          Section 3.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement . If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor or Issuers. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary and/or any such Secured Party under this Section 3.9 , or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Secured Debt Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest and be repayable as provided for in the Secured Debt Documents and Grantor covenants and agrees to pay them to the order of Beneficiary for the benefit of the Secured Parties as required under the Secured Debt Documents.

          Section 3.10 No Lender in Possession . Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 3 , the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 4 , the security interests under Article 6 , nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary under the Secured Debt Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Beneficiary or Trustee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Property, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to lease the Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

ARTICLE 4

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES

          Section 4.1 Assignment . Subject to the license granted in Section 4.2 and the provisions of Chapter 106, Statutes of Nevada (2007) and Chapter 107A of NRS, Grantor does hereby presently, absolutely and unconditionally assign to Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, solely as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and not in its individual capacity, Grantor’s right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and the absolute, unconditional and continuing right to receive and collect all Rents, it being intended by Grantor

9


 

that this assignment constitutes a present, outright, immediate, continuing and absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall not be construed to bind Beneficiary to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Beneficiary or the Secured Parties. None of Beneficiary or the Secured Parties shall have any responsibility on account of this assignment for the control, care, maintenance, management or repair of the Property, for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary for and on behalf of the Secured Parties such additional instruments, in form and substance acceptable to Beneficiary, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by Beneficiary or the Secured Parties to further evidence and confirm such assignment.

          Section 4.2 License . Notwithstanding that Grantor hereby presently grants to Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, solely as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and not in its individual capacity, an outright, immediate, continuing and absolute assignment of the Rents and Leases and not merely the collateral assignment of, or the grant of a lien or security interest in, the Rents and Leases, Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby grants to Grantor and its successors and not to any tenant or any other person, a revocable license to collect and receive the Rents and to retain, use and enjoy the same and otherwise exercise all rights assigned to Beneficiary under Section 4.1 hereof, including all rights and remedies, benefits or entitlements as landlord under any Lease, in each case subject to the terms hereof and of the Secured Debt Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) the license granted herein to Grantor shall immediately and automatically cease and terminate and shall be void and of no further force or effect, (ii) Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents (whether or not Beneficiary enters upon or takes control of the Property) and (iii) at the request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall notify in writing all tenants and subtenants under any of the Leases that all Rent due thereunder should be paid to Beneficiary for and on behalf of the Secured Parties at its address set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement, or at such other place as Beneficiary shall notify Grantor in writing; provided that, if such Event of Default ceases to exist, the license described in the foregoing clause shall automatically be reinstated. Notwithstanding said license, Grantor agrees that Beneficiary, and not Grantor, shall be deemed to be the creditor of each tenant or subtenant under any Lease in respect to assignments for the benefit of creditors and bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution or receivership proceedings affecting such tenant or subtenant (without obligation on the part of Beneficiary, however, to file or make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or otherwise to pursue creditors’ rights therein), with an option to apply in accordance with the Secured Debt Documents any money received from such tenant or subtenant in reduction of any amounts due under the Secured Debt Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any portion of the Rents held by Grantor shall be held in trust for the benefit of Beneficiary on behalf of the Secured Parties for use in the payment of the Secured Debt.

10


 

     Section 4.3 Certain Rights of Beneficiary . Subject to the revocable license granted above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the immediate and continuing right, power and authority, either in person or by agent, without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, without the necessity of taking possession of the Property in its own name, and without the need for any other authorization or action by Grantor or Beneficiary, in addition to and without limiting any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies hereunder, under the Indenture and any other Secured Debt Documents and as otherwise available at law or in equity, (a) to notify any tenant or other person that the Leases have been assigned to Beneficiary, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and that all Rents are to be paid directly to Beneficiary for the account of the Secured Parties, whether or not Beneficiary has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Property; (b) to settle, compromise, release, extend the time of payment of, and make allowances, adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations in, to and under the Leases; (c) to demand, sue for or otherwise collect, receive, and enforce payment of Rents, including those past-due and unpaid and other rights under the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding, and defend against any claim with respect to the Rents and Leases; (d) to enter upon, take possession of and operate the Property whether or not foreclosure under this Deed of Trust has been instituted and without applying for a receiver; (e) to lease all or any part of the Property; and/or (f) to perform any and all obligations of Grantor under the Leases and exercise any and all rights of Grantor therein contained to the full extent of Grantor’s rights and obligations thereunder.

          Section 4.4 Irrevocable Instructions to Tenants . At Beneficiary’s request, Grantor shall deliver a copy of this Deed of Trust to each tenant under a Lease and to each manager and managing agent or operator of the Property, and Beneficiary shall have the continuing right to do so. Grantor irrevocably directs any tenant, manager, managing agent, or operator of the Property, without any requirement for notice to or consent by Grantor, to comply with all demands of Beneficiary under this Article 4 and to turn over to Beneficiary, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand all Rents which it receives. Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that payment of any Rents by a person to Beneficiary as hereinabove provided shall constitute payment by such person, as fully and with the same effect as if such Rents had been paid to Grantor. Beneficiary is hereby granted and assigned by Grantor the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, upon an Event of Default that is continuing, to enter upon the Property in person or by agent, without bringing any action or proceeding, or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of the license (until such time as the same may be reinstated in accordance with Section 4.2 ) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 4 nor any other remedies or security interests afforded to Beneficiary or each Secured Party under the Secured Debt Documents, at law or in equity, shall cause Beneficiary or any such Secured Party to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Property, to obligate Beneficiary or any Secured Party to lease the Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any

11


 

expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

          Section 4.5 Unilateral Subordination . Beneficiary may, at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor, any tenant or any other person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder; and nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Deed of Trust to any Lease.

          Section 4.6 Savings Clause . Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Grantor makes no assignment or grant of rights with respect to any (i) personal property or (ii) any general intangibles or any other rights to any Leases, management agreements, contracts, instruments, licenses or other documents (collectively, “ Contract Rights ”), as to which the grant of a security interest therein would constitute a violation of applicable law or of any valid and enforceable obligation in favor of a third party relating to such personal property or under such Contract Rights.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY AGREEMENT

          Section 6.1 Security Interest . This Deed of Trust constitutes both a real property mortgage and a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents and all other personal property within the definition of Property (said portion of the Property subject to the UCC, the “ Collateral ”). The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Grantor in the Property. Grantor, by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust, hereby grants to Beneficiary, solely as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and not in its individual capacity, a first and prior security interest in the Fixtures, Leases, Rents and all other Property which is personal property to secure the payment of the Secured Debt and performance of the Secured Debt Obligations, subject only to Permitted Liens, and agrees that Beneficiary (solely as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and not in its individual capacity) shall, subject to compliance with the Gaming Laws, have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as

12


 

Beneficiary may deem necessary or advisable for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary or its agents or representatives, Grantor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at the Property. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including actual reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor. By its acceptance hereof, Beneficiary agrees to apply, except as otherwise required by law, the proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof in accordance with Section 3.7 hereof.

          Section 6.2 Further Assurances . Grantor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary and/or file, in form and substance acceptable to Beneficiary, this Deed of Trust and such further statements, documents and agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, and such further assurances and instruments, and do such further acts, as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary, desirable or proper to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest hereunder and to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest; provided that such further statements, documents, agreements, assurances, instruments and acts do not increase the liability or obligations or decrease the rights of Grantor from those provided for in the Secured Debt Documents. As of the date hereof, Grantor’s chief executive office and principal place of business is at the address set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust, and Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any change in such address.

          Section 6.3 Fixture Filing . This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC upon all of the Property which is or is to become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the UCC), upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the City or County wherein such fixtures are located. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Grantor) and Secured Party (Beneficiary, solely as collateral trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and not in its individual capacity) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.
