If the Trustor shall fail to discharge any such Lien, 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

 

25



 

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 Defaulted Interest 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 the Trustor to Beneficiary upon demand.

 

Section  4.16.    Inspection.  The Trustor shall permit Beneficiary, upon twenty-four (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, it being agreed by the Trustor that Beneficiary’s good faith belief of the existence of a past or present release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material into, onto, beneath or from the Property shall be conclusively deemed reasonable; 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.

LEASEHOLD PROVISIONS

 

Section  5.1.      Deed of Trust Subject to Ground Lease. This Deed of Trust is made subject to whatever rights and interest the Lessor may have under the Ground Lease and the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth therein.  This Deed of Trust shall not be construed so as to constitute a default under the Ground Lease pursuant to Applicable Law or the terms of such Ground Lease, and this Deed of Trust and the Lien created hereby shall be of no further force and effect if deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to violate the terms of such Ground Lease or Applicable Law.

 

Section  5.2.   Certain Covenants.  The Trustor covenants and agrees as follows:

 

5.2.1.   The Trustor shall keep and perform, in all material respects, the covenants, agreements and obligations of the lessee set forth in the Ground Lease, and not to commit, suffer or permit any material breach thereof.  If the Trustor shall default under the Ground Lease, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any action necessary or desirable to cure any default by the Trustor in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease, Beneficiary being authorized to enter upon the premises for such purposes. Any default by the Trustor as lessee under the Ground Lease or breach of an obligation thereunder shall be a default hereunder, provided that such shall not constitute a default hereunder until the expiration of any applicable lessee notice and grace period under the Ground Lease and the failure of the Trustor to cure such default or breach under the Ground Lease within such grace period.

 

5.2.2.   The Trustor shall give prompt notice to Beneficiary of the actual receipt by it of written notice of default served on the Trustor from the Lessor, and to furnish to Beneficiary

 

26



 

all information that it may reasonably request concerning the performance by the Trustor of the covenants of the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, evidence of payment of ground rent, taxes, insurance premiums and operating expenses.

 

5.2.3.   So long as this Deed of Trust is in effect, there shall be no merger of the Ground Lease or any interest therein nor of the leasehold estate created thereby with the fee estate in the Leased Land or any portion thereof by reason of the fact that the Ground Lease or such interest therein or such leasehold estate may be held directly or indirectly by or for the account of any person who shall hold the fee estate in the Leased Land or any portion thereof or any interest of the Lessor. In case the Trustor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Leased Land covered by the Ground Lease, this Deed of Trust shall attach to and cover and be a Lien upon the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the Lien of and covered by this Deed of Trust.  The Trustor shall notify Beneficiary of any such acquisition by the Trustor and, on written request by Beneficiary, shall at its own expense cause to be executed and recorded all such other and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the opinion of Beneficiary be required to carry out the intent and meaning hereof.

 

5.2.4.   The Trustor shall not surrender the Ground Lease (except a surrender upon the expiration of the term of the Ground Lease or upon the termination by the Lessor thereunder pursuant to the provisions thereof) to the Lessor thereunder, or any portion thereof or of any interest therein, and no termination of the Ground Lease, by the Trustor as lessee thereunder, shall be valid or effective, and no Ground Lease shall be surrendered or canceled, amended, other than in immaterial respects, or subordinated to any fee mortgage, to any lease, or to any other interest, either orally or in writing, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary so long as this Deed of Trust is in effect. Any attempted surrender, amendment (except in immaterial respects) cancellation or termination of the Ground Lease by the Trustor without obtaining the prior written consent of Beneficiary shall be null and void and without force and effect on the Ground Lease, and such attempt shall constitute a default hereunder.

 

5.2.5.   If and to the extent required by the terms of the Ground Lease, the Trustor shall, promptly after the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust or of any instrument or agreement supplemental thereto, notify the Lessor thereunder in writing of the execution and delivery thereof and deliver to the Lessor a copy of each such Deed of Trust, instrument or agreement, as the case may be.

 

5.2.6.   If the Ground Lease is terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term by reason of default of the Trustor, and if, pursuant to any provision of the Ground Lease, or otherwise, Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the Lessor thereunder a new lease of the Leased Land, or of any part of the Leased Land, the Trustor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby.

 

5.2.7.   The Trustor hereby warrants the quiet and peaceful possession of the Property by Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary for so long as the Deed of Trust is in effect and further warrants and agrees to defend the leasehold estate created under the Ground Lease for the

 

27



 

remainder of the term set forth therein against each and every person claiming the same or any part thereof.

 

5.2.8.   In the event of the termination, rejection, or disaffirmance by the Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds to the rights of any Lessor) pursuant to any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, whether state, federal or otherwise, relating to insolvency, reorganization or liquidation, or for the relief of debtors (each such law referred to herein as a “Bankruptcy Law” and all such laws collectively referred to herein as “Bankruptcy Laws”), the Trustor hereby presently, absolutely, and irrevocably grants and assigns to Beneficiary the sole and exclusive right to make or refrain from making any election available to lessees under any Bankruptcy Law (including, without limitation, the election available pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision), and the Trustor agrees that any such election, if made by the Trustor without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (which Beneficiary would not anticipate granting due to the importance of the Ground Lease as security), shall be void and of no force or effect.

 

5.2.9.   In the event there is a termination, rejection, or disaffirmance by any Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds to the rights of any Lessor) as described in Section 5.2.8 above and Beneficiary elects to have the Trustor remain in possession under any legal right the Trustor may have to occupy the premises leased pursuant to the Ground Lease then (i) the Trustor shall remain in such possession and shall perform all acts necessary for the Trustor to retain their right to remain in such possession, whether such acts are required under the then existing terms and provisions of the Ground Lease or otherwise, (ii) all of the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Lien created hereby shall remain in full force and effect and shall be extended automatically to such possession, occupancy, and interest of the Trustor, to all rights of the Trustor to such possession, occupancy, and interest, and to all of the Trustor’s rights and remedies against the Lessor under the Bankruptcy Laws, and (iii) the Trustor hereby agrees with Beneficiary that if the Trustor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease any damages or other amounts pursuant to any right of offset available to lessees under any Bankruptcy Laws for any damages sustained by reason of the failure by the applicable Lessors to perform their obligations, then not less than thirty (30) days prior to effecting any such offset, the Trustor shall give written notice to Beneficiary of the amount of the proposed offset and the basis therefor, and if Beneficiary objects, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, to the offset on the basis that it may constitute a breach of the Ground Lease, then the Trustor shall not effect the offset of any amounts so objected to by Beneficiary and the Trustor agrees that any such election, if made by the Trustor without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, shall be void and of no force or effect.

 

5.2.10.   The Trustor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (not including the payment of any money or other consideration to any third party) to obtain from time to time, promptly after request by Beneficiary, from the Lessor and deliver to Beneficiary, at no cost to Beneficiary, a Lessor’s estoppel certificate thereunder in such form as may reasonably be requested by Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustor’s failure to obtain an estoppel certificate from any Lessor shall not be deemed an Event of Default hereunder, provided that the Trustor has used its commercially reasonable efforts (as modified above).

 

28



 

5.2.11.    If at any time the Trustor fails to comply in any material respect with any of the Trustor’s material obligations under the Ground Lease and the Lessor notifies Beneficiary thereof, then Beneficiary or Trustee may, but without obligation to do so and after providing reasonable notice to the Trustor (provided that no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency or if the Ground Lease is in danger of being terminated) and without releasing the Trustor from any obligation hereunder or removing or waiving any default hereunder, perform on behalf of the Trustor any such obligations, and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Beneficiary or Trustee in connection therewith shall be repayable upon demand by the Trustor, with interest thereon at the Defaulted Interest rate, and shall be secured hereby; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Beneficiary or Trustee to incur any expense or take any action with respect to the Trustor’s failure to comply with any of the Trustor’s obligations under the Ground Lease.

 

5.2.12.   The Trustor, promptly upon receiving written notice of a breach by the Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds the rights of the Lessor) or of any inability of the Lessor to perform the terms and provisions of the Ground Lease (including, without limitation, by reason of a termination, rejection, or disaffirmance by such Lessor pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws), which would materially impair the value of the Ground Lease, shall notify Beneficiary in writing of any such breach or inability.  The Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary the proceeds of any claims that the Trustor may have against such Lessor for any such breach or inability by such Lessor.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustor shall have the sole right to proceed against such Lessor in Trustor’s and Beneficiary’s behalf and to receive and retain all proceeds of such claims except as otherwise provided in the Indenture; during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the sole right to proceed against Lessor, and the Trustor shall cooperate with Beneficiary in such endeavor.  The Trustor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, deliver to Beneficiary copies of all papers served in connection therewith, and shall consult and cooperate with Beneficiary and its attorneys and agents, in the carrying on and defense of any such proceedings.

 

5.2.13.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, if there is an Event of Default which remains uncured, then Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of Beneficiary’s choosing, all litigation and other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Laws relating to the Lessor; and any expenses incurred by Beneficiary in such litigation and proceedings shall be additional indebtedness of the Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust, shall bear interest at the Defaulted Interest rate and shall be payable by the Trustor upon demand.  No settlement of any such proceeding shall be made by the Trustor without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.

 

5.2.14.   In addition to any and all other assignments contained in this Deed of Trust, the Trustor hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Beneficiary all of the Trustor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages, and any other remedies available to the Trustor, arising from any rejection of the Ground Lease by the Lessor thereunder pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law. This assignment constitutes a present,

 

29



 

absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all the indebtedness and obligations secured by this Deed of Trust shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.

 

5.2.15.   Trustor covenants and agrees to provide written notice of this Deed of Trust to the Lessor under the Ground Lease in accordance with Section 19.3 of the Ground Lease within three (3) Business Days of the date hereof.  Failure to timely provide such notice to the Lessor shall immediately, and without any further notice or any grace or cure period, constitute an Event of Default hereunder and under the Indenture.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no uncured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustor shall have an absolute license to assert and settle any and all such claims, and to receive and apply all proceeds thereof as Trustee shall determine in its discretion.

31

8.2.1.   In person, by agent, or by a receiver, and without regard to the adequacy of security, the solvency of the 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 Requirements and remedial measures, (iv) take any action necessary to ensure compliance with Environmental Requirements, including, but not limited to, spending Rents in connection with any cleanup, remediation or other response action with respect to Hazardous Materials or (v) sue for or otherwise collect the Rents, issues and profits thereof and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred, to the Secured Obligations, all in such order as Beneficiary may determine.

8.2.5.   If the Secured Obligations become or are declared immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Indenture and the 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 the Trustor and all of Trustor’s assets for the recovery of any deficiency, including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order. THE TRUSTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN THIS DEED OF TRUST OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY NONRECOURSE OR EXCULPATORY LANGUAGE, IF ANY), THE 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 OF THE NOTES;

 

8.2.6.   With respect to any Personalty, proceed as to both the real and personal property in accordance with Beneficiary’s rights and remedies in respect of the Property, or proceed to sell said Personalty separately and without regard to the Property in accordance with Beneficiary’s rights and 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.

 

Section  8.3.  Power of Sale. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Beneficiary shall notify Trustee and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.

 

8.3.1.   Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to the Trustor notices of default and sale to be given in accordance with the provisions of Applicable Laws, including ARS Section 33-702.  Trustee shall, without demand on the Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by Applicable Laws and after recordation of such notice of default and after notice of sale having been given as required by law, sell the Trust Estate at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem

 

33



 

expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale.  Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any Person, including, without limitation, the Trustor or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale and the 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 the Trustor. If allowed by 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. The Trustor hereby waives its right, if any, to require that the Property be sold as separate tracts or units in the event of foreclosure.

 

8.3.2.   Trustee, upon such sale, 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 Property so sold that shall convey to the purchaser all the title and interest of the Trustor in the Property (or the portion thereof sold), 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 sale, shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of (i) all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the Defaulted Interest rate and (ii) all other sums then secured hereby and the remainder, if any, to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto.

 

8.3.3.   Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate by public announcement at such time and place of sale, or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Laws, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Beneficiary may rescind any notice of default at any time before Trustee’s sale by executing a notice of rescission and recording the same. The recordation of such notice of rescission shall constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for sale. The exercise by Beneficiary of the right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any default then existing or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Beneficiary to execute other declarations of default and demand for sale, or notices of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold nor otherwise affect the Indenture Documents or this Deed of Trust, or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder.

 

Section  8.4.  Proof of Default. In the event of a sale of the Property, or any part thereof, and the execution of a deed or deeds therefor, the recital therein of default, and of recording notice of breach and election of sale, and of the elapsing of the required time (if any) between the foregoing recording and the following notice, and of the giving of notice of sale, and of a demand by Beneficiary, or its successors or assigns, that such sale should be made, shall be conclusive proof of such default, recording, election, elapsing of time, and of the due giving of such notice, and that the sale was regularly and validly made on due and proper demand by Beneficiary, its successors or assigns; and any such deed or deeds with such recitals therein shall be effectual and conclusive against Trustor, its successors and assigns, and all other Persons; and

 

34



 

the receipt for the purchase money recited or contained in any deed executed to the purchaser as aforesaid shall be sufficient discharge to such purchaser from all obligations to see to the proper application of the purchase money.

 

Section  8.5.   Protection of Security. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then upon at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Trustor and without releasing the 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 the 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 Requirements; and (v) in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Trustor hereby agrees to repay within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand all sums actually expended by Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 8.5. with interest at the Defaulted Interest 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 the Property, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a Receiver or Receivers of the Property. 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 the Trustor shall at any time fail to perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants and conditions required on the Trustor’s part to be performed and complied with under this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture 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, without waiving or releasing any of the Secured Obligations, to:

 

8.7.1.1.  make any payments thereunder payable by the 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 the Trustor’s rights to contest certain obligations specifically granted hereby, perform any such

 

35



 

other acts thereunder on the part of the 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 the Trustor, and the same shall not be so cured unless and until the Trustor shall have reimbursed Beneficiary within the applicable cure period for such payment including interest at the Defaulted Interest 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 Defaulted Interest 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 the 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Documents unless, in the exercise of said rights, all Secured Obligations are fully discharged.

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

 

Section  10.1.  Assignment of Rents.  Subject to Section 10.2 and to Applicable Gaming Laws, as of the execution of this Deed of Trust, the 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.  The 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 the Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all such Rents and apply the same to the Secured Obligations secured hereby.  It is hereby recognized that the power of attorney herein granted is coupled with an interest and shall not be revocable. 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 the 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  10.2.  Collection of Rents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustor shall have a license, revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to collect all Rents from the Property and to retain, use and enjoy the same and to otherwise exercise all 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 the 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.

42



 

expenditures required for cleanup, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Requirements or any Permit, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties).  On the basis of such review, the Trustor has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities could not reasonably be expected, singly or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular or as otherwise could not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect:

11.1.5.   The Trustor nor any person or entity whose liability the Trustor has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law has any liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Requirement, and there is no proceeding pending or threatened against any of them under any Environmental Requirement; and

 

11.1.6.   There are no events, activities, practices, incidents or actions or conditions, circumstances or plans that may interfere with or prevent compliance by the Trustor with any Environmental Requirement, or that may give rise to any liability under any Environmental Requirements.

 

11.1.7.   The above representations and warranties contained in this Section 11.1 shall survive the termination, release and/or reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and the discharge of the Trustor’s other obligations hereunder.

11.2.2.   The Trustor shall not cause or permit the existence or the commission by Trustor, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or by any other Person of a material violation of any Environmental Requirements upon, within or beneath the Property or any portion thereof.

44



 

detectable.  The Trustor shall proceed continuously and diligently with such investigatory and remedial actions, provided that 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.  The Trustor shall pay all costs 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.  The 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 investigation and remediation, the Trustor shall permanently seal or cap all monitoring wells and test holes to industrial standards in compliance with Applicable Laws and regulations, remove all associated equipment, and restore the Property to the extent reasonably possible, which shall include, without limitation, the repair of any surface damage, including paving, caused by such investigation or remediation hereunder.

11.2.7.   The 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 Damages arising from the discharge, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials from the Property into the Public Waters or from the presence of Hazardous Materials upon, about or beneath the Property or migrating to or from the Property, or arising in any manner whatsoever out of the violation of any Environmental Requirements pertaining to the Property and the activities thereon, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, and regardless of when such Environmental Damages occurred, except to the extent directly caused by conduct (other than inaction) on the part of such Indemnitee with respect to the Property or any such Indemnitee’s grossly negligent or wi1lful inaction or other conduct.  The indemnity obligations of the 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 the Trustor’s other obligations hereunder.

 

11.2.8.   Except for the last sentence of Section 4.5, and except for Sections 4.6, 4.7, 4.15 and 8.5, the other covenants of this Deed of Trust shall not apply to the subject matter of this Article 11.

Section  12.2.  IndemnityThe Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees against (A) 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 Indenture Documents, and (B) any and all claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including 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  12.3.  Waivers; Modifications in WritingNo 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.

Section  12.4.  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 Indenture 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

 

46



 

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.

 

12.4.1.   Successors and Assigns.  This Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and, subject to the next sentence, inure to the benefit of the Trustor and Beneficiary and their respective successors and assigns.  The 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  12.6.  Change of LawIn 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 mortgage or deed 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 the 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 the 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 substantial part thereof will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled, or lost as a result of such contest and (B) except in the case of a tax or charge junior to the Lien of this Deed of Trust, the Trustor shall have posted such bond or furnished such other security as may be required by law to release such tax or charge.

 

Section  12.7.  No WaiverNo waiver by Beneficiary of any Default or breach by the 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 the 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  12.14.  Personalty Security Instruments.  The 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  12.15.  Suits to Protect Property.  The 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 any 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  12.16.  Trustor’s Waiver of RightsThe 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 the Trustor may do so, the Trustor agrees that the Trustor shall 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 the Trustor, for the Trustor, the 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 law, 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 12.16 and now in force, of which the Trustor, the Trustor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns or other Person might take advantage despite this Section 12.16, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section 12.17.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Trustor expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which the Trustor may have or

 

49



 

be able to assert by reason of the laws of the State of Arizona pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.

Section  12.18.  Complete AgreementThis Deed of Trust, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Indenture 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  12.19.  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 the 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 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 the 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  12.21.  Choice of Forum.

 

12.21.1.   Subject to Section 12.21.2 and Section 12.21.3, all actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Deed of Trust shall be tried and litigated in state or Federal courts located in the County of Mohave, State of Arizona, unless such actions or proceedings are required to be brought in another court to obtain subject matter jurisdiction over

 

50



 

the matter in controversy.  THE 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 12.21.1.

 

12.21.2.   Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude Beneficiary from bringing any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Deed of Trust in any court not referred to in Section 12.21.1.  SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUFFICIENT FOR PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION AGAINST THE TRUSTOR, MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO ITS ADDRESS INDICATED IN SECTION 12.8 HEREOF.

 

12.21.3.   Notwithstanding Section 12.21.1, in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary, all actions or proceedings relating to the Collateral referred to in Article 9 hereof, other than the Fixtures, which are the subject of the Senior Secured Note Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, as applied to contracts made and performed within the state of New York.  The Trustor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the subject of the Senior Secured Note Security Agreement, and irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.  The Trustor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, trial by jury and any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Trustor irrevocably consents, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustor at its said address, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after such mailing.  Nothing shall affect the right of Beneficiary to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Trustor in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section  12.22.  Regulatory Matters.  Whenever in this Deed of Trust a right is given to Beneficiary, which right is affected by Applicable Gaming Laws or the enforcement of which is subject to Applicable Gaming Laws, the enforcement of any such right shall be subject to Applicable Gaming Laws and approval, if so required, of the applicable Gaming Authorities.

 

Section  12.23.  Guarantor Waivers.  If and to the extent that the Trustor (for the purposes of this Section 12.23,  “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:

 

51



 

12.23.1.   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 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 Issuers 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.

 

12.23.2.   Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 12.23.1, Guarantor waives:

 

12.23.2.1.  all statutes of limitations as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against Guarantor by Beneficiary, to the fullest extent permitted by law;

 

12.23.2.2.  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;

 

12.23.2.3.  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;

 

12.23.2.4.  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;

 

12.23.2.5.  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; and

 

52



 

12.23.2.6.  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.

 

12.23.3.   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.

 

12.23.4.   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  12.24.  WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR ACTIONS.
