If the amount so paid is not sufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, levies, fees, charges and premiums when due, then Trustor will immediately pay Beneficiary or such depository, as the case may be, on demand, amounts sufficient to pay the same. Sums deposited by Trustor pursuant hereto may be used to pay such taxes, assessments, levies, fees, charges and insurance premiums when due provided that Trustor has furnished Beneficiary with all tax statements, premium notices and other such notices at least 30 days prior to the date that any such taxes, assessments, levies, fees, charges or premiums may be due; provided, however, that Beneficiary may elect to apply the funds deposited with it or such depository in such manner as Beneficiary may deem desirable, in its sole and absolute discretion. Nothing herein shall impose on Beneficiary or such depository the obligation to pay any amount on account of taxes, assessments, levies, fees, charges or premiums in excess of the amount then deposited with Beneficiary or such depository pursuant hereto. Beneficiary and any depository may commingle funds deposited hereunder with their general funds and no interest shall accrue or be allowed on any payments made pursuant to this section. Payments or deposits pursuant to this section, if made, shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any other right or remedy available hereunder to Beneficiary in an Event of Default. Transfer of title to the Property shall automatically transfer the interest of the then Trustor in any deposits made pursuant to this section.

    2.15  Notice of Actions.  If any action or proceeding shall be instituted for any purpose affecting the Property, any part thereof, any interest therein, title thereto or this Deed of Trust, or should Trustor receive any notice from any governmental agency relating to the structure, use or occupancy of the Property, Trustor will immediately upon service thereof on or by Trustor, deliver to Beneficiary true copies of each notice, petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause, and all other process, pleadings and papers, however designated, served in any action or proceeding. Immediately upon becoming aware of any development or other information which may materially and adversely affect the property, business, prospects, profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of Trustor or the Property or the ability of Trustor to perform the obligations secured hereby, Trustor shall notify Beneficiary of the nature of such development or information and such anticipated effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any substantial change in the occupancy rate of the Real Property.

    2.16  Defense of Actions.  Trustor promises and agrees that if during the existence of this Deed of Trust there be commenced or pending any suit, action, arbitration, or other proceeding affecting the Property, any part thereof, or in relation thereto, the title thereto or this Deed of Trust, 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 and will pay all costs and damages arising because of such proceeding. Beneficiary may elect to appear in any such proceeding. Subject to any applicable Gaming Law, Beneficiary shall have the option to control such action or defense, whether or not Beneficiary elects to appear. If Beneficiary elects to appear in any such action or proceeding, Beneficiary shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice. Trustor shall be solely responsible for any and all expenses and costs, including, but not limited to, the fees of counsel retained by Beneficiary, which are incurred pursuant to this section. If Beneficiary elects to appear in or control any action or proceeding, Trustor agrees to indemnify Beneficiary against, release Beneficiary from, and hold Beneficiary harmless from any damages, liability, costs, expenses, litigation, or claims incurred in or in connection with such action or appearance or in the exercise of such control, except as a result of Beneficiary's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    2.17  Liens.  Trustor will not permit or suffer the filing of any mechanics', materialmen's, or other liens against the Property, any part thereof, any interest therein, or the revenue, rents, issues, income and profits arising therefrom. If any lien shall be filed against the Property, any part thereof, or any interest therein, Trustor agrees to discharge the same of record within ten days after the same shall have been filed.

    2.18  Prescriptive Easements and Adverse Possession.  Trustor shall take any and all such action as may be necessary to prevent any third parties from acquiring any prescriptive easement upon, over, or across any part of the Property, or from acquiring any rights whatsoever to or against the Property by virtue of adverse possession.

    2.19  Transfers of the Property.  Any sale, agreement to sell, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, including, but not limited to, the granting of any option to do any of the foregoing, whether voluntary or involuntary, by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, of the whole or any portion of Trustor's right, title or interest in and to the Property or any portion thereof shall be in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

    2.20  Lease or License of the Property.  Any lease or license for the use of the Property, or any part thereof, shall be in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

    2.21  Employee Benefit Plans.  Immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any (i) "reportable event," as such term is defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, or (ii) "prohibited transaction," as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with any pension plan or any trust created thereunder, a written notice specifying the nature thereof, what action Trustor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, and, when known, any action taken or proposed to be taken by the Internal Revenue Service and/or the Department of Labor with respect thereto shall be delivered to Beneficiary. Trustor will not at any time permit any pension plan maintained by it or to which Trustor is a contributing employer to (a) engage in any "prohibited transaction," as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (b) incur any "accumulated funding deficiency," as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived; or (c) terminate any such pension plan in a manner which could result in the imposition of a lien on the Property pursuant to Section 4068 of ERISA. Trustor shall not take any action which will cause or effect any withdrawal, complete or partial, or any resulting withdrawal liability, with respect to any such plan. Trustor shall promptly pay all contributions to any employee benefit plan to which it is required to pay.

    2.22  Performance of the Leases.  Trustor will diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Leases to be performed and observed by Trustor to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired Trustor's rights under the Leases.

Trustor shall enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance of each and every term, covenant and condition of each such Lease to be performed by the lessee thereunder.

the rents thereunder. Any other provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, no lien or other encumbrance may be prior to any Lease (other than the Liens pursuant to the Indenture) if the result of such priority might be to allow such Lease to be terminated without the consent of Beneficiary.

    2.23  Subordination of Leases.  Trustor acknowledges and agrees that said Leases are and shall be subordinate hereto and that upon any sale or deed in lieu of sale hereunder such lessees shall attorn to the purchaser or grantee, as the case may be, and recognize the same as lessor under said Leases as fully as if such purchaser or grantee had been named as lessor under such Leases, but without any claim or offset against such purchaser or grantee for any liability of any previous lessor. Such lessees shall from time to time during the term hereof, within ten days after demand therefor by Beneficiary, execute and deliver to Beneficiary, or any party designated by Beneficiary, a certificate in recordable form certifying that attached thereto is a true and correct copy of such lessee's Lease, the term of said lease, the date to which all rentals and other charges have been paid, the amount of any security deposit, that no rent has been prepaid or discounted, that such Lease is in full force and effect, and that no defaults have occurred thereunder (or specifying the nature of such defaults).

about the Property or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (c) any use, non-use or condition of the Property or any part thereof or of the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (d) any failure on the part of Trustor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Deed of Trust or any instrument or agreement secured hereby, (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof made or suffered to be made by or on behalf of Trustor, (f) any negligence or tortious act on the part of Trustor or any of its respective agents, contractors, lessees, licensees or invitees, or (g) any work in connection with any alterations, changes, new construction or demolition of the Property, whether or not permitted hereunder. All amounts payable to Beneficiary, Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, under this Section 2.28 shall be payable on demand and shall be deemed indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.

    2.29  Subordination.  All obligations of Trustor to any of its affiliates, including, but not limited to, any of its shareholders, partners or members are hereby subordinated to the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust and such obligations may be paid unless prohibited by the Indenture or upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (as defined herein).

ARTICLE III.
Assignment of Leases and Rents

    3.01  Assignment of Leases and Rents.  As additional security for the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 1.02, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary, all of Trustor's right, title and interest in the following:

    (a) all leases, subleases, occupancy agreements, licenses, usufructs, rental contracts and other agreements written or oral, now or hereafter existing relating to the use or occupancy of all or any portion of the Property, together with all guarantees, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof subject to applicable Gaming Laws (collectively, the "Leases");

    (b) any and all guaranties of the obligations of the tenants (the "Tenants") under any of such Leases; and

    (c) subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 below, the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or that may become due or to which Trustor may now or shall hereafter (whether during any applicable period of redemption, or otherwise) become entitled or may demand or claim, arising or issuing from or out of the Leases, or from or out of the Property or any part thereof, subject to applicable Gaming Laws (collectively, the "Rents").

    3.02  Rights of Beneficiary.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 below, Beneficiary shall have the right, power and authority (but not the obligation) to: (a) notify any person that the Leases have been assigned to Beneficiary and that all Rents are to be paid directly to Beneficiary, whether or not Beneficiary has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Property; (b) settle, compromise, release, extend the time of payment of, and make allowances, adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations under the Leases; (c) enforce payment of Rents and other rights under the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding, and defend against any claim with respect to Rents and Leases; (d) without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon but not take possession of the Property, or take possession of and operate the Property; (e) lease all or any part of the Property; and/or (f) perform any and all obligations of Trustor under the Leases and exercise any and all rights of Trustor therein contained to the full extent of Trustor's rights and obligations thereunder, with or without the bringing of any action or the appointment of a receiver, and any other rights and remedies under any applicable Nevada laws; provided, however, that the acceptance by Beneficiary of this Deed of Trust, with all of the rights, power, privileges, and authority created, will

10

not, prior to entry on and taking of possession of the Property by Beneficiary, be deemed or construed to make Beneficiary a mortgagee-in-possession, nor in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases. Trustor 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. Trustor irrevocably directs any Tenant, manager, managing agent, or operator of the Property, without any requirement for notice to or consent by Trustor, to comply with all demands of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust and to turn over to Beneficiary on demand all Rents which it receives.

    3.03  Trustor's Limited License.  Provided that no Default or Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred and is continuing, Trustor shall have the right under a license granted hereby and Beneficiary hereby grants to Trustor a license to collect, but not more than one month in advance (except as regards security and similar deposits and payments of last months' rentals), all of the Rents arising from or out of the Leases or any renewals or extensions thereof, or from or out of the Property or any part thereof. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use and apply any Rents received hereunder in accordance with this Deed of Trust and the Indenture, and Trustor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by the Beneficiary from or on behalf of Trustor, and Trustor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Beneficiary shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default against the Obligations in accordance with this Deed of Trust and the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property (by agent, court appointed receiver or otherwise), the license granted hereby shall be deemed revoked and the license shall immediately be revocable by Beneficiary upon which revocation Beneficiary will be entitled to immediate possession of all rents and revenues generated by the Property.

    3.04  Trustor's Obligations.  Trustor represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, it occupies the Property, and there are no Leases in effect with respect to the Property except for unrecorded month-to-month leases and as expressly set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. With respect to any Leases entered into after the date hereof, Trustor shall, in addition to any other obligations of Trustor provided for herein with respect to such Leases, at its sole cost and expense: (i) cause all tenant improvements to be constructed in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (ii) to the extent that Trustor is no longer in occupancy of any material portion of the Property, use reasonable efforts to keep such unoccupied portions of the Property leased at all times to lessees which Trustor reasonably and in good faith believes are creditworthy at rents not less than the fair market rental value (including, but not limited to, free or discounted rents to the extent the market so requires); (iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, growing out of or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liabilities of the landlord or of any lessees thereunder; (iv) promptly execute (and use reasonable efforts to cause all necessary third parties to execute) and record any additional assignments of landlord's interest under any Lease to Beneficiary and specific subordinations of any Lease to this Deed of Trust; and (v) furnish Beneficiary a written statement containing the names of all lessees and the terms of all Leases, including the spaces occupied and the rentals payable thereunder.

    3.05  Limitation.  The acceptance by Beneficiary of the assignment provided in this Article III, together with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created in this Article III or elsewhere in this Deed of Trust, shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Property by Beneficiary be deemed or construed to constitute Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession" or to obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases, the Rents or the Property or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits

11

delivered to Trustor by any Tenant and not assigned and delivered to Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Property.

    3.06  Right of Subordination.  Notice is hereby given to each Tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No subordination referred to in this Section shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Deed of Trust to any Lease.

ARTICLE IV.
Trustee's and Beneficiary's Rights

    4.01  No Waiver or Release of any Event of Default or any Provisions, Covenants and Conditions.  The waiver or release by Beneficiary or Trustee of any Default or Event of Default or of any of the provisions, covenants and conditions hereof on the part of Trustor to be kept and performed shall not be a waiver or release of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision, covenant or condition contained herein. The subsequent acceptance of any sum in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or any other payment hereunder by Trustor to Beneficiary or Trustee shall not be construed to be a waiver or release of any preceding breach by Trustor of any provision, covenant or condition of this Deed of Trust other than the failure of Trustor to pay the particular sum so accepted, regardless of Beneficiary's or Trustee's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such payment. No payment by Trustor or receipt by Beneficiary of a lesser amount than the amount herein provided shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest sums due and payable hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Beneficiary may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Beneficiary's right to recover the balance of such sum or pursue any other remedy provided in this Deed of Trust. The consent by Beneficiary or Trustee to any matter or event requiring such consent shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent matter or event.

    4.02  Bankruptcy Petition Filing.  Notwithstanding the right otherwise provided to Trustor to collect rent and other payments pursuant to the Leases while Trustor is not in default under the Notes or this Deed of Trust, if there is filed any petition in bankruptcy by or against any lessee under any of the Leases or there is appointed a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or a substantial portion of the assets of such lessee or there is a general assignment by such lessee for the benefit of creditors, or any action is taken by or against such lessee under any state or federal insolvency law or bankruptcy act, or any similar law now or hereafter in effect, Beneficiary is appointed a creditor of such lessee and is entitled to recover on any claim or right of recovery that Trustor may have against such lessee or its receiver or trustee; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be obligated to pursue any such claim or right of recovery.

    4.03  Right of Entry.  Beneficiary may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspection of the Property.

    4.04  Successor Trustees.  Beneficiary may, at any time, by instrument in writing, appoint a successor or successors to the Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, and recorded in the Office of the County Recorder, Clark County, Nevada, shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such successor trustee, who shall have all the estate, powers, duties and trusts in the premises vested in or conferred on the original trustee. If there be more than one trustee, either may act alone and execute these trusts upon the request of Beneficiary and his acts shall be deemed to be the acts of all trustees, and the recital in any conveyance executed by such sole trustee of such requests shall be conclusive evidence thereof, and of the authority of such sole trustee to act.

12

    4.05  Releases, Modifications and Waivers.  Without affecting the liability of Trustor or any other person or entity, except any person or entity expressly released in writing, for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or for performance of any of the obligations or any of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof, and without affecting the rights of Trustee and Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, at any time and from time to time, without notice or consent other than consent of Beneficiary, Trustee and/or Beneficiary may:

    (a) Release any person or entity liable for payment of all or any part of the indebtedness or for the performance of any obligation;

    (b) Make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all or any part of said indebtedness or modifying or waiving any obligation or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof;

    (c) Exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right either of them may have;

    (d) Accept additional security of any kind; and,

    (e) Release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the obligations secured hereby.

    4.06  Attorney-In-Fact.  If Trustor fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver to Beneficiary any and all mortgages, assignments, transfers, assurances, financing statements, maps, and other instruments or documents required to be so executed, acknowledged or delivered hereunder, within 15 days after Beneficiary's demand or such lesser period as may be provided elsewhere herein, then Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to act in Trustor's name, place and stead to execute, acknowledge and deliver the same.

    4.07  Payment of Trustor's Obligations.  Whenever under any provision of this Deed of Trust Trustor shall be obligated to make any payment or expenditure, or to do any act or thing, or to incur any liability whatsoever, and Trustor fails, refuses or neglects to perform as herein required, Beneficiary shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to make any such payment or expenditure or to do any such act or thing, or to incur any such liability, all on behalf of and at the cost and for the account of Trustor. In such event, the amount thereof shall be paid by Trustor on demand of Beneficiary. Such amount shall be added to the principal balance due under the Notes and shall accrue interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any act or payment by Beneficiary to cure, forestall, prevent or mitigate an Event of Default hereunder shall be at the sole option of Beneficiary, shall be at the cost of Trustor and shall be reimbursed to Beneficiary as above provided. Beneficiary shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened tax, assessment, adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim, or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing, removing or paying the same. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all rights, equities and liens discharged by any such expenditure. All funds advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.07 or any other provision of this Deed of Trust for the performance of any obligation of Trustor or to protect Beneficiary's security shall be deemed obligatory advances regardless of the person or entity to whom such funds are furnished and such advances, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

13

ARTICLE V.
Default and Remedies

    5.01  Events of Default.  As used in this Deed of Trust, each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

    (a) Any default in the performance of any term, covenant or condition contained herein and such event or circumstance, if capable of being cured, is not cured within 35 days after written notice thereof is given by Trustee or Beneficiary to Trustor; or

    (b) The occurrence of any "Event of Default" under the terms of the Indenture or any other Loan Document.

    All notice and cure periods provided herein, in the Indenture or in any other Loan Document shall run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, Beneficiary or the Trustee shall be entitled to cause a notice of breach and election to sell to be recorded and mailed if any event occurs which, with the giving of notice and/or passage of time, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or thereunder or would entitle Beneficiary to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby and the recording and mailing to Trustor of such notice of breach and election to sell shall constitute notice of a failure to perform pursuant hereto or thereto.

    5.02  Rights and Remedies.

    (a) At any time after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Beneficiary may exercise any and all of its rights provided hereunder, under the Indenture or applicable law, subject to applicable Gaming Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Personal Property may, at the sole and absolute option of Beneficiary, (i) be sold hereunder, (ii) be sold pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Nevada, or (iii) be dealt with by Beneficiary in any other manner provided by statute, law or equity. Without limiting the foregoing, Beneficiary may require Trustor to assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Beneficiary at a place to be designated by Beneficiary. At any time after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall be the attorney-in-fact of Trustor with respect to any and all matters pertaining to the Property with full power and authority to give instructions with respect to the collection and remittance of payments, to endorse checks, to enforce the rights and remedies of Trustor, and to execute on behalf of Trustor and in Trustor's name any instruction, agreement or other writing required therefor. This power shall be irrevocable and deemed to be a power coupled with an interest. Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, appoint Trustee as the agent of Beneficiary for the purpose of disposition of the Personal Property in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that a disposition of the Personal Property in accordance with Beneficiary's rights and remedies in respect to real property as hereinabove provided is a commercially reasonable disposition thereof.

    (b) At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, to the full extent permitted by law, including any applicable Gaming Law, in addition to all other rights and remedies, forthwith after any such Event of Default, enter upon and take possession of the Property, complete any buildings or other improvements under construction, construct new improvements and make modifications to and/or demolish any of the foregoing. In connection therewith Beneficiary shall have the power to file any and all notices and obtain any and all necessary permits and licenses, including, but not limited to, the filing of notices of completion and the obtaining of certificates of occupancy. Beneficiary shall also have the right but not the obligation to receive all of the rents, issues and profits of the Property, overdue, due or to become due, and to apply the same, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees, on account of the indebtedness secured hereby. Beneficiary may do any and all of the foregoing in its own name or in the name of Trustor and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints

14

Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact for such purposes. Beneficiary may also, at any time after such default, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver and Trustor agrees that such appointment shall be made upon a prima facie showing of a claimed Event of Default without reference to any offsets or defenses against such Event of Default and without regard to whether any portion of the Property is in danger of being lost, removed, injured or destroyed or of waste, whether income from the Property is in danger of being lost or whether the Property is or may become insufficient to discharge the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust. Such receiver shall have all the rights and powers provided Beneficiary pursuant to this section or otherwise provided hereunder or by law. Said receiver may borrow monies and issue certificates therefor. Said certificates shall be a lien on the Property subordinate only to this Deed of Trust and the Leases; provided, however, that should any of said certificates be acquired by Beneficiary the amount thereof shall constitute additional indebtedness secured hereby. Such receiver may lease all or any portion of the Property on such terms and for such a term (which may extend beyond the terms of such receiver's appointment and/or, if Beneficiary so consents, sale of the Property hereunder) as such receiver may deem appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property pursuant to this section and the collection of the rents, issues and profits therefrom shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof hereunder or invalidate any act of Beneficiary pursuant thereto.

    (c) Should default be made by Trustor in payment or performance of any indebtedness or other obligation or agreement secured hereby and/or in performance of any agreement herein, or should an Event of Default otherwise occur hereunder, Beneficiary may, subject to NRS § 107.080, declare all sums secured hereby immediately due by delivery to Trustee of a written notice of breach and election to sell (which notice Trustee shall cause to be recorded and mailed as required by law).

    (d) After three months shall have elapsed following recordation of any such notice of breach, Trustee shall sell the property subject hereto at such time and at such place in the State of Nevada as Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall deem best to accomplish the objects of these trusts, having first given notice of such sale as then required by law. In the conduct of any such sale Trustee may act itself or through any auctioneer, agent or attorney. The place of sale may be either in the county in which the property to be sold, or any part thereof, is situated, or at an office of the Trustee located in the State of Nevada.

(i)

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



(ii)

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

    (e) Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to payment of expenses of sale and all charges and expenses of Trustee and of these trusts, including cost of evidence of title and

15

Trustee's fee in connection with sale; all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; all other sums then secured hereby, and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

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

    (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed of Trust, to the extent required under applicable law, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the exercise of remedies hereunder may be subject to applicable Gaming Laws, as amended from time to time. Due to various legal restrictions, including, without limitation, licensing of operators of gaming facilities and prior approval of the sale or disposition of assets of a licensed gaming operation, the sale of Collateral consisting of gaming equipment may be denied by the relevant Gaming Authorities or delayed pending Gaming Authority approval.

    5.03  Leases.  The collection of Rents and the application thereof by Beneficiary or any receiver obtained by Beneficiary shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof, or invalidate any act of Beneficiary pursuant thereto. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have affirmed any Lease or subordinated the lien hereof thereto nor shall any liability be asserted or enforced against Beneficiary, all such liability being hereby expressly waived and released by Trustor. Neither Beneficiary nor any receiver shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or under or by reason of the assignment contained in this Deed of Trust and Trustor shall and does hereby agree to protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Beneficiary and such receiver from and against any and all liability, loss, costs, charges, penalties, obligations, expenses, attorneys' fees, litigation, judgments, damages, claims and demands which they may or might incur by reason of, arising from, or in connection with the Leases, such assignment, any alleged obligations or undertakings on their part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases, any alleged affirmation of or subordination to the Leases, or any action taken by Beneficiary or such receiver pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no security deposited by the lessee with the lessor under the terms of any Lease hereby assigned has been transferred to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary assumes no liability for any security so deposited.

ARTICLE VI.
Miscellaneous

    6.01  Reconveyance of Property.  Upon receipt of a written request from Beneficiary reciting that all sums and obligations secured hereby have been paid and/or performed, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey without warranty the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters of fact shall be conclusive proof of the truth thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described in general terms as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto."

    6.02  Waiver and Release.  Trustor, for itself and for all persons hereafter claiming through or under it or who may at any time hereafter become holders of liens junior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, hereby expressly waives and releases all rights to direct the order in which any of the Property or any interest therein shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Property and/or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for any of the

16

indebtedness secured hereby or any interest therein marshaled upon any sale under this Deed of Trust or of any other security for any of said indebtedness.

    6.03  Further Assurances.  Trustor shall, upon demand by Beneficiary or Trustee, or otherwise necessary, execute, acknowledge (if appropriate) and deliver any and all documents and instruments and do or cause to be done all further acts reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions hereof.

    6.04  Usury Savings Clause.  Nothing contained herein or in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the payment of interest or other charges by Trustor in excess of the amounts that may be lawfully charged to the Trustor pursuant to the Loan Documents or under the applicable usury laws. In the event Beneficiary shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of the legal rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Beneficiary, be returned to Trustor or credited against the principal balance of any obligation secured hereby then outstanding.

    6.05  No Liability for Clean-up of Hazardous Materials.  In the event that the Beneficiary is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Beneficiary's sole discretion may cause the Beneficiary to be considered an "owner or operator" under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §9601. et seq., or otherwise cause the Beneficiary to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Beneficiary reserves the right to, instead of taking such action, either resign as Beneficiary or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver.

    The Beneficiary shall not be liable to the Trustor or the Holders or any other person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Beneficiary's actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment.

    6.06  Notices.  Any and all notices and demands to Trustor, Trustee or to Beneficiary, required or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by deposit in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or if made by Federal Express or other similar delivery service keeping records of deliveries and attempted deliveries or made by telecopy. Service by United States Mail or by Federal Express or other similar delivery service shall be conclusively deemed made on the first business day delivery is attempted or upon receipt, whichever is sooner; provided, however, that service of any notice of breach or notice of sale as required by law will, if mailed, be effective on the date of mailing. Facsimile transmissions received during business hours during a business day shall be deemed received on such business day.
