Subject to the next following paragraph, whenever Borrower desires that Lenders make Loans it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 9:00 A.M. (Pacific time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan) or at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base Rate Loan).

(iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including, without limitation, any Note held by such Lender) the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be presumed to be correct; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower's Obligations in respect of the applicable Loans; and provided, further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. (iv) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.1B(ii). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitment or Loans. (v) Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.1D, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees for all purposes under Section 10.3. E. Optional Notes. If so requested by any Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note to such Lender. 2.2 Interest on the Loans. A. Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and 2.7, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be. The applic- able basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan shall be selected by Borrower initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.1B. The basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2D. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2E and 2.6, the Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows: (i) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin. (ii) if a Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin. B. Interest Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/ Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an "Interest Period") to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Borrower's option, either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that: (i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan; (ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires; (iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this Section 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; (v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Loans shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; (vi) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Loans shall extend beyond the date on which a permanent reduction of the Commitments is scheduled to occur unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date plus (c) the excess of the Commitments then in effect over the Total Utilization as of such date equals or exceeds the permanent reduction of the Commitments that is scheduled to occur on such date; (vii) there shall be no more than ten Interest Periods out- standing at any time; and (viii) in the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that in the event any Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4B(i), interest accrued on such Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity). D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, Borrower shall have the option at any time (i) to convert all or any part of its outstanding Loans equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto. Subject to the next following paragraph, Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 9:00 A.M. (Pacific time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, has notified Borrower to the contrary, a Loan may be requested by telephone by a duly authorized officer or other Person authorized to borrow on behalf of Borrower, in which case Borrower shall confirm such request by delivering promptly a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Loan in person or by telecopier to Administrative Agent. Borrower and Lenders may enter a memorandum of understanding that sets forth specific procedures for such telephonic requests; if Lenders comply with the procedures set forth in such memorandum (or if no such memorandum is entered), neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower in acting upon any such telephonic notice that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.2D, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Borrower shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. E. Post-Maturity Interest. Any principal payments on the Loans not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment (which may be revoked by Borrower to the extent such revocation will not result in the incurrence of costs by Administrative Agent or any Lender or, if incurred, such costs are reimbursed by Borrower), by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. F. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. Fees payable by Borrower under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days during which the fee accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan. 2.3 Fees. A. Commitment Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Lender in proportion to that Lender's Pro Rata Share, commitment fees for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Maturity Date equal to: the average of the daily excess of the Maximum Availability over the Total Utilization multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, provided that for purposes of calculating commitment fees hereunder, the Swing Line Obligations shall not be included in Total Utilization. These commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. B. Arrangement Fee and Servicing Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent a non- refundable arrangement fee and a non-refundable servicing fee, payable in amounts set forth in the Fee Letter. C. Amendment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender a non-refundable amendment fee in an amount equal to such Lender's allocated Commitment times 10.0 basis points. 2.4 Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments; General Provisions Regarding Payments. A. Scheduled Reductions of Commitments. The Commitments shall be permanently reduced on each Reduction Date occurring during a period set forth below in the amount set forth opposite that period: Reduction Dates During Amount March 31, 1998 through December 31, 2000 $4,250,000 March 31, 2001 through December 31, 2002 $5,500,000 March 31, 2003 $6,000,000 June 30, 2003 $129,000,000 provided that the scheduled reductions of the Commitments set forth above shall be (i) reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory reductions of the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv) and (ii) accelerated to the extent acceleration of the Loans occurs pursuant to Section 8.20B. B. Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions in Commitments. (i) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, upon not less than one Business Day's prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days' prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 9:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggre- gate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however, that the payment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the related Interest Period shall be subject to Section 2.6D. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that such notice may be revoked by Borrower to the extent such revocation will not result in the incurrence of costs by Administrative Agent or any Lender or, if incurred, such costs are reimbursed by Borrower. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv). (ii) Voluntary Reductions of Commitments. Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days' prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Commitments exceed the Total Utilization at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Borrower's notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower's notice and shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share. Any such voluntary reduction of the Commitments shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv). (iii) Mandatory Prepayments and Mandatory Reductions of Commitments. (a) Prepayments and Reductions Due to Reversion of Surplus Assets of Pension Plans. On the date of return to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any surplus assets of any pension plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall prepay the Loans, and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced, in an amount equal to 100% of such returned surplus assets, net of transaction costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such return, including incremental taxes payable as a result thereof. Any such mandatory prepayments or reductions of the Commitments shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv). (b) Prepayments Due to Reductions or Restrictions of Commitments. Borrower shall prepay the Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization shall not at any time exceed the Commitments then in effect. Borrower shall make any prepayment required under this Section 2.4B(iii)(b) within three (3) Business Days of the earlier of (x) the date on which any Senior Officer of Borrower learns that such excess exists or (y) the date on which Borrower receives written notice from any Lender that a payment is due under this Section 2.4B(iii)(b). Any such mandatory prepayments shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv). (iv) Application of Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions of Commitments. (a) Application of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment of the Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6D. (b) Application of Unscheduled Reductions of Commitments. Any voluntary or mandatory reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4B(ii) or 2.4B(iii) shall be applied to ratably reduce the then remaining Scheduled Facility Reductions. C. General Provisions Regarding Payments. (i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge its accounts with Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose) and after such a charge is made on sufficient funds available, payment of principal, interest and fees under this Section 2.4C shall be deemed to have been made; provided however that until such occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default Administrative Agent shall not charge Borrower's accounts with Administrative Agent until receipt by Administrative Agent of written authorization from Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.8. (ii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal. (iii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned among all out- standing Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and the commitment fees of such Lender when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter. (iv) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder, as the case may be. (v) Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal or interest on such Note. 2.5 Use of Proceeds. A. The proceeds of the Loans, together with other funds available to Borrower, shall be applied by Borrower (i) on the Closing Date, to refinance the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and to repay the Subordinated Obligations to Circus described in Section 7.5(i), and (ii) thereafter, to fund distributions permitted under Section 7.5 to the General Partners, for working capital and other general business purposes. B. Margin Regulations. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation G, Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds. 2.6 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered: A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 9:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender. B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower. C. Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, central bank directive, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an "Affected Lender" and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender's obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the "Affected Loans") shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. D. Compensation For Breakage or Non- Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for request- ing such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request for conver- sion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Borrower in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement. E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender. F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.6 and under Section 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.6 and under Section 2.7A. G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower. 2.7 Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy. A. Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7B, in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmen- tal rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including without limitation any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.7A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. B. Withholding of Taxes. (i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid free and clear of and (except to the extent required by law) without any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of Borrower or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. (ii) Grossing-up of Payments. If Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) from any sum paid or payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (a) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (b) Borrower shall pay any such Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Borrower) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (c) the sum payable by Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (d) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; (iii) Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax. (a) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or other political subdivision thereof (for purposes of this Section 2.7B(iii), a "Non-US Lender") shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (1) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents or (2) if such Lender is not a "bank" or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 pursuant to clause (1) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. (b) Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to Section 2.7B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender shall (1) deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) immediately notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. (c) Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under clause (c) of Section 2.7B(ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.7B(iii)(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied such requirements on the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), nothing in this Section 2.7B(iii)(c) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of Section 2.7B(ii) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described in Section 2.7B(iii)(a). C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpreta- tion or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or Commitment or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corpora- tion could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 2.8 Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lender to Mitigate. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7 or Section 3.6, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender or Issuing Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender or Issuing Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 3.6 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans or Letters of Credit through such other lending or letter of credit office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to this Section 2.8 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 2.9 Termination of Make-Well Agreement. It is acknowledged that, during the period from December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2001, Circus shall have the option to elect to terminate the Make-Well Agreement pursuant to Section 2.14 thereof if all the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) on the last day of each of the two most recent Fiscal Quarters for which financial statements of Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, the Stand-Alone Leverage Ratio shall be 3.00:1.00 or less; (ii) for each of the two most recent Fiscal Quarters for which financial statements of Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, the Stand-Alone Coverage Ratio for the four consecutive Fiscal Quarters then ended shall be not less than 1.25:1.00; (iii) no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iv) Circus shall not be in default in any of its monetary agreements under the Make-Well Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that termination of the Make-Well Agreement under such circumstances shall be at the option of Circus, and that any such termination will result in higher interest rates and more restrictive covenants hereunder, as set forth herein. 2.10 Swing Line. (A) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date, the Swing Line Lender shall make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in such amounts as it may request which do not result in the Total Utilization being in excess of the then effective Commitments, provided that (i) after giving effect to each Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed $10,000,000, (ii) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default and (iii) the Swing Line Lender has not given at least twenty-four hours prior notice to Borrower that availability under the Swing Line is suspended or terminated. Each request for a Swing Line Loan shall constitute a representation by Borrower that each of the representations and warranties set forth herein are true and correct, to the extent set forth in Section 4.2(b). Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon telephonic request by a Senior Officer of Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the Banking Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier), provided that if the requested Swing Line Loan is to be credited to an account which is not with the Swing Line Lender, the request must be submitted by 11:30 a.m., Pacific time. Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, the Total Utilization will not exceed the then effective Commitments (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. If Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., Pacific time, on a Banking Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Banking Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Loan Outstandings each time there is a change therein or if it suspends or terminates availability under the Swing Line. (B) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for such interest. Interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (D) below). (C) The Swing Line Loans shall be payable within five (5) Banking Days after demand made by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date or any earlier date when all other Obligations are due. (D) Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.10(A), each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of the Swing Line Loan. Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender through the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (subject only to the making of a demand upon that Lender by the Swing Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share of (i) Swing Line Loans to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $10,000,000 or to the extent that the making of such Swing Line Loan results in the Total Utilization being in excess of the then effective Commitments, or (ii) any Swing Line Loan is made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default. Each Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim. (E) In the event that the Swing Line Outstandings are (a) outstanding five consecutive Banking Days, or (b) the Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $5,000,000 for three Banking Days, then (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full), on the next Banking Day, Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 which is sufficient to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full. In addition, upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings to $0), Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 which is sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent to the making of Loans shall not apply). In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the Loans made by each Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that Borrower fails to request a Loan within the time speci- fied by Section 2.1B on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, cause Loans to be made by the Lenders under their Commitments in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above. The conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 shall not apply to Loans made pursuant to the three preceding sentences but the Lenders shall not be obligated to make such Loans to the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 2.10(A)(i), (ii) and (iii) were not satisfied as to any Swing Line Loan which is part of such Swing Line Outstandings. The proceeds of such Loans shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings. SECTION 3 LETTERS OF CREDIT 3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders' Purchase of Participations Therein. A. Letters of Credit. In addition to Borrower requesting that Lenders make Loans pursuant to Section 2.1A, Borrower may request, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, that Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower for the purposes specified in the definition of Standby Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents, Issuing Lender shall be obligated, as provided in Section 3.1B(ii), to issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1; provided that Borrower shall not request that Issuing Lender issue (and Issuing Lender shall not issue): (i) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total Utilization would exceed the Commitments then in effect; (ii) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $5,000,000; (iii) any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date and (b) the date that is one year from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; provided that the immediately preceding clause (b) shall not prevent Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, further that Issuing Lender shall deliver a written notice to Administrative Agent setting forth the last day on which Issuing Lender may give notice that it will not extend such Standby Letter of Credit (the "Notification Date" with respect to such Standby Letter of Credit) at least ten Business Days prior to such Notification Date; and provided, further that, unless Lenders otherwise consent, Issuing Lender shall give notice that it will not extend such Standby Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such Notification Date; or (iv) any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars. B. Mechanics of Issuance. (i) Notice of Issuance. Whenever Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit no later than 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) at least 5 Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit shall specify (a) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (b) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (c) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (d) the name and address of the beneficiary, and (e) the verbatim text of the proposed Letter of Credit or the proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise description of any documents and the verbatim text of any certificates to be presented by the beneficiary that, if presented by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Lender to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any such documents or certificates; and provided, further that no Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of the Issuing Lender to which such draft is required to be presented is located) that such draft is presented if such presentation is made after 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on such business day. Borrower shall notify the Issuing Lender prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to have re- certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit. (ii) Issuing Lender. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Issuance of Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall be obligated to issue such Letter of Credit and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto, notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit and with respect to all other Letters of Credit issued by Administrative Agent, when aggregated with Administrative Agent's outstanding Loans, may exceed Administrative Agent's Commitment then in effect. (iii) Issuance of Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with Section 10.6) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender's standard operating procedures. (iv) Notification to Lenders. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each other Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender's respective participation in such Letter of Credit, determined in accordance with Section 3.1C. (v) Reports to Lenders. Within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date, so long as any Letter of Credit shall have been outstanding during such calendar quarter, Issuing Lender shall deliver to each other Lender a report setting forth the average for such calendar quarter of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender that were outstanding during calendar quarter. C. Lenders' Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender (including the Lender that acts as Issuing Lender) shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and drawings thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. 3.2 Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts to Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it: (A) with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the product of the maximum aggregate amount that is, or at any time, may become available for drawing with respect to such Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin and (ii) $500; which amount shall be payable in advance upon issuance for the term of such Letter of Credit. (B) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder (in addition to the fees payable under clause (i) above), documentary and processing charges in accordance with Issuing Lender's standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Lender of any amount described in clause (A) of this Section 3.2, Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount. 3.3 Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit. A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. B. Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the "Reimbursement Date") in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender prior to 8:30 A.M. (Pacific time) on the date of such drawing that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders to make Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such drawing and (ii) subject only to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.5B, Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing; and provided, further that if for any reason proceeds of Loans are not received by Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the aggregate amount of such Loans, if any, that are so received. Nothing in this Section 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Loans under this Section 3.3B. C. Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Drawings Under Letters of Credit. (i) Payment by Lenders. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Lender as provided in Section 3.3B in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each other Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing and of such other Lender's respective participation therein based on such Lender's Pro Rata Share. Each Lender shall make available to Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective pro rata participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 1:30 P.M. (Pacific time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Lender is located) after the date notified by Issuing Lender. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to Issuing Lender on such business day the amount of such Lender's participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 3.3C, Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender. (ii) Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Borrower. In the event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 3.3C(i) with respect to such drawing such other Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Lender from Borrower in reimburse- ment of such drawing within five (5) Business Days of the date when such payments are received by Issuing Lender. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request. D. Interest on Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit. (i) Payment of Interest by Borrower. Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Lender, with respect to drawings made under any Letters of Credit issued by it, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Lender in respect of each such drawing from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Borrower (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Loans pursuant to Section 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date of such drawing to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this Agreement with respect to Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Loans that are Base Rate Loans; provided that in no event shall interest accrue for two days when a drawing and the reimbursement of amounts paid in respect of such drawing occur on consecutive days. Interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.3D(i) shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. (ii) Distribution of Interest Payments by Issuing Lender. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Lender of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 3.3D(i) with respect to a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, in the event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such drawing, Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 3.3C(i) with respect to such drawing such other Lender's proportionate share (based on the amount reimbursed to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3C(i)) of any interest received by Issuing Lender in respect of that portion of such drawing so reimbursed by other Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Lender was so reimbursed by other Lenders to and including the date on which such portion of such drawing is reimbursed by Borrower. Any such distribution shall be made by Issuing Lender within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such payment from Borrower to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request. 3.4 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Lender for drawings made under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3B and the obligations of Lenders under Section 3.3C(i) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Lender or other Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 3.5 Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lender's Duties. A. Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 3.6, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Lender, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called "Governmental Acts"). B. Nature of Issuing Lender's Duties. As between Borrower and Issuing Lender, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, but subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.5, Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Lender, including without limitation any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Lender's rights or powers hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 3.5B, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.5, Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 3.6 Increased Costs and Taxes Relating to Letters of Credit. In the event that Issuing Lender or any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be presumed to be correct) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by Issuing Lender or any Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi- governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Issuing Lender or Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Issuing Lender or Lender) with respect to the issuing or maintaining of any Letters of Credit or the purchasing or maintaining of any participations therein or any other obligations under this Section 3, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by Issuing Lender; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including without limitation any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender or participations therein purchased by any Lender; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Issuing Lender or Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) regarding this Section 3 or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Lender or Lender of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Issuing Lender or Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) with respect thereto; then, in any case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender or Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Issuing Lender or Lender shall deliver to Borrower a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Issuing Lender or Lender under this Section 3.6, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

All of the Subsidiaries of Borrower are identified in Schedule 5.1, as said Schedule 5.1 may be supplemented from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1(xvii).

Schedule 5.1 (as so supplemented) correctly sets forth the ownership interest of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in each of the Subsidiaries of Borrower identified therein. 5.2 Authorization of Borrowing, etc. A. Authorization of Borrowing. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action on the part of Borrower. B. No Conflict.

Borrower has heretofore delivered to Lenders audited financial statements of Borrower as of December 31, 1996 which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present the financial position of Borrower as of that date. Borrower does not (and will not as a result of the funding of the initial Loans) have any Contingent Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing balance sheet and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 5.4 No Material Adverse Change; No Restricted Junior Payments.

Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of the Loans will be used to purchase or carry Margin Stock in violation of Regulations G, T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 5.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the perfor- mance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the exis- tence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof. C. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Administrative Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all Lenders if unanimity is required hereunder. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors reasonably selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders as required or permitted by this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion or authority vested in it under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents unless and until it has obtained the instructions of Requisite Lenders. D. Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its par- ticipation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 9.3 Representations and Warranties; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness. Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders. 9.4 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent, to the extent that Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by Borrower or another Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that if Administrative Agent is subsequently reimbursed by Borrower or any other Loan Party for any such liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements in an amount that, together with amounts paid to Administrative Agent by Lenders under this Section 9.4, exceeds the amount actually expended by Administrative Agent therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse such excess amount to those Lenders that made payments under this Section 9.4 in proportion to their payments hereunder. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The Prior Agent shall be entitled to the continued protection of the indemnities provided to the Prior Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement for the period in which it served as agent under the Existing Credit Agreement. 9.5 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower, and Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders (determined without giving effect to Administrative Agent's Loan Exposure). Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent provided that such Requisite Lenders may proceed without Borrower's consent if Borrower refuses to consent to one of two successive nominees for successor Administrative Agent who are Lenders on the Closing Date. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agree- ment. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 9.6 Collateral Documents. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents as secured party on behalf of and for the benefit of each Lender and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Documents; provided that Administrative Agent shall not enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in the Collateral Documents except as set forth in Section 10.6. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the collateral under the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that all rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. Section 9.7 - Administrative Agent to Hold Liens for Benefit of Lenders as Parties to Interest Rate Agreements. A. Borrower hereby agrees that each of the liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to also secure the obligations of Borrower to Lenders under Interest Rate Agreements entered into with respect to the Obligations and Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations under any such Interest Rate Agreements shall rank pari passu with, and shall be entitled to the benefit of the Collateral Documents to the same extent as, the other Obligations to the extent of the Administrative Agent s risk assessment factor for such obligations (but shall be subordinate and junior to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations to the extent of any excess amounts); provided that the right of the holders of such Interest Rate Agreements with respect to the Collateral shall be limited to the right to receive a share of the proceeds of the Collateral and that Lenders shall have the right to make all determinations with respect to the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral until payment in full of all of the Loans and other Obligations and the cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit. Each Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrower with any Lender shall be conclusively presumed to relate to the obligations and Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement unless it otherwise specifies. B. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act as collateral agent for that Lender with respect to the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents for the benefit of that Lender as a creditor under Interest Rate Agreements of the type described in clause (A) of this Section; in such capacity the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the indemnity provided by Section 9.4 of the Credit Agreement and to the other indemnities and protections afforded to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, mutatis mutandis. C. Each Lender agrees that the claims of the Lenders under this Agreement and the claims of each Lender under any Interest Rate Agreement shall rank pari passu, provided that the right of each Lender with respect to the Collateral by reason of its claims under such Interest Rate Agreements shall be limited to the right to receive a share of the proceeds of the Collateral and that the Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders under this Agreement) shall have the exclusive right to make all determinations with respect to the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral until payment in full of all of the Loans and other Obligations and the cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit. No person other than the Lenders shall be deemed to have any rights under this clause (C). D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Interest Rate Agreement shall have the benefit of the Make-Well Agreement. SECTION 10 MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit. A. General. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to (i) sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee, or (ii) sell participations to any Person in, all or any part of its Commitment or any Loan or Loans made by it or its Letters of Credit or participations therein or any other interest herein or in any other Obligations owed to it; provided that no such sale, assignment, transfer or partici- pation shall, without the consent of Borrower, require Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such sale, assignment, transfer or participation under the securities laws of any state; provided, further that no such sale, assignment or transfer described in clause (i) above shall be effective unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting such sale, assignment or transfer shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.1B(ii); provided, further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Commitment and the Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation; and provided further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein shall be required to the extent it would be prohibited by any Gaming Law. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitment or the Loans, the Letters of Credit or participations therein, or the other Obligations owed to such Lender. B. Assignments. (i) Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Each Lender may assign its interests in the Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein, or other Obligation, provided that each such assignment (i) shall be subject to the written consent of Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that when an Event of Default exists, no such consent will be required from Borrower), (ii) which is not to another Lender or to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitment, Loans, Letters of Credit and participations therein, and other Obligations of the assigning Lender) and shall be to an Eligible Assignee described in clause (A) of the definition of "Eligible Assignee", and (iii) shall effect a pro rata assignment of the Loans, Letters of Credit (or participations therein) and commitment of the assigning Lender. The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500 and such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7B(iii)(a). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recordation, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). The Commitments hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any remaining Commitment of such assigning Lender and, if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Notes hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Note, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the assignee and/or the assigning Lender in accordance with Section 2.1E, be issued to the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender to reflect the new Commitments of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. (ii) Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.1B(i) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7B(iii)(a), Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment Agreement has been completed, (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this Section 10.1B(ii). C. Participations. The holder of any participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation, and all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including without limitation amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.6D, 2.7 and 3.6) shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of Sections 10.4 and 10.5, (a) any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the participant and (b) the participant shall be considered to be a "Lender". D. Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (i) no Lender shall, as between Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. E. Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to Section 10.19. 10.2 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to pay promptly (i) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of preparation of the Loan Documents; (ii) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower and any other Loan Party (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder) and of each Loan Party's performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, with respect to confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents and the Loans and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications hereto or thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or any other Loan Party; (iv) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments prior to the Closing Date and the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (v) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Event of Default or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. 10.3 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Documentation Agent, and each Lender, and the officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates thereof (collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including without limitation securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including without limitation Lenders' agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any of the Letters of Credit) or the statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Borrower with respect thereto (collectively called the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that Borrower shall not have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. 10.4 Set-Off; Security Interest in Deposit Accounts. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender (with the consent of Requisite Lenders) is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebt- edness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to that Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. Borrower hereby further grants to Administrative Agent and each Lender a security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with Administrative Agent or such Lender as security for the Obligations. 10.5 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. 10.6 Amendments and Waivers; Release of Collateral. A. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders; provided that any such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which: increases the amount of any of the Commit- ments or reduces the principal amount of any of the Loans; increases the maximum amount of Letters of Credit; changes any Lender's Pro Rata Share; changes in any manner the definition of "Lenders", "Requisite Lenders" or "Supermajority Lenders"; changes in any manner any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders; postpones the scheduled final maturity date of any of the Loans; postpones the date or reduces the amount of any scheduled reduction of the Commitments; postpones the date on which any interest or any fees are payable; decreases the interest rate borne by any of the Loans (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.2E) or the amount of any fees payable hereunder; increases the maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder; reduces the amount or postpones the due date of any amount payable in respect of, or extends the required expiration date of, any Letter of Credit; changes in any manner the obligations of Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit; or changes in any manner the provisions contained in Section 8.1(a) or (b) or this Section 10.6; or changes any of the terms of or releases the Make-Well Agreement (except in accordance with Section 2.14 thereof) or the Environmental Indemnities shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of all Lenders and; provided, further, that no provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, expressly requires approval or action of Supermajority Lenders, may be amended, modified or waived except with the consent of Supermajority Lenders; provided further that if there has been a change in Managing Partner, no amendment to the performance standard required of Borrower under Section 7.6A that would increase the amount required to be paid to fulfill the "Make-Well Obligations" under and as defined in the Make-Well Agreement, shall be effective to cause such increase unless Circus shall have received prior notice of such change. In addition, (i) any material amend- ment, modification, termination or waiver of any of the provisions contained in Section 4 shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders, (ii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of that Note, and (iii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 3 or Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Borrower, on Borrower. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of Section 7.6A shall be effective without the written consent of Circus or its successors and assigns under the Make-Well Agreement. B. Administrative Agent may release personal property Collateral without the consent of any Lender to the extent sold or disposed of by Borrower in a transaction or series of transactions that do not constitute Asset Sales. In addition: (i) Administrative Agent may release personal property Collateral subject to the Security Agreement having a fair market less than $100,000 with the consent of Requisite Lenders; and (ii) Administrative Agent shall not release any personal property Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $100,000 or any other Collateral without the consent of all Lenders. 10.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 10.8 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile or telex prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on a Business Day or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Administrative Agent and the Lenders from Borrower shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Borrower and Administrative Agent, such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent. 10.9 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. A. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder. B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower set forth in Sections 2.6D, 2.7, 3.5A, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 9.2C, 9.4 and 10.5 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this Agreement. 10.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 10.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred. 10.12 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or un- enforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 10.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 10.14 Headings. Section and Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 10.15 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. 10.16 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders' rights of assignment are subject to Section 10.1).

CIRCUS AND ELDORADO JOINT VENTURE By: GALLEON, INC. Its: Managing Partner By: Title: By: ELDORADO LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY Its: General Partner By: ELDORADO RESORTS LLC, a Nevada limited liability company Its: Manager By: Title: By: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE By: Title: By: Title: AMENDED AND RESTATED MAKE-WELL AGREEMENT This AMENDED AND RESTATED MAKE- WELL AGREEMENT is entered into as of November 24, 1997 by CIRCUS CIRCUS ENTERPRISES, INC., a Nevada corporation ("Circus"), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as agent for and representative of (in such capacity herein called "Administrative Agent") the financial institutions ("Lenders") party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and CIRCUS AND ELDORADO JOINT VENTURE, a Nevada general partnership ("Borrower") (as an express third-party beneficiary of this Make-Well Agreement), and amends and restates the Existing Make- Well Agreement referred to below in its entirety. RECITALS X. Borrower entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 9, 1996, with the lenders referred to therein, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Agent, and the Co-Agents and Managing Agents therein named (as amended, the "Existing Credit Agreement"). Y. Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, Circus delivered an Amended and Restated Make-Well Agreement dated September 9, 1996 to the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Existing Make-Well Agreement"). Z. Concurrently with the execution hereof, Borrower has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith with Lenders and Administrative Agent to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety (said Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the "Credit Agreement"; capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined). AA. It is a condition precedent to execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement that the Existing Make- Well Agreement be amended as set forth herein and that Circus thereby provide assurance to the Lenders of Borrower's ability to perform certain of its obligations thereunder. AB. Circus is irrevocably and unconditionally willing to provide such assurance, subject to the right of Circus to terminate this Agreement in the manner, and upon the fulfillment of the conditions, set forth in Section 2.14 hereof. NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders and Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make the Loans thereunder, Circus hereby agrees as follows: SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS 1.1 Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Make-Well Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context otherwise requires: "Additional Contributions" has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.1. "Make-Well Agreement" means, as of any date, this Amended and Restated Make-Well Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time through such date. "Make-Well Coverage Ratio" has the meaning set forth for that term in the Credit Agreement; provided that any contribution of cash to Borrower by Circus in exchange for equity of Borrower or General Partner Subordinated Debt shall be included, without duplication, in Net Income for the Fiscal Quarter in which such contribution is made (or, if made within 25 calendar days of the end of a Fiscal Quarter, for such Fiscal Quarter immediately ended if Circus notifies Administrative Agent in writing at the time of such contribution that such contribution is to be so credited). "Make-Well Obligations" has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.1. "Minimum Coverage Ratio" has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.1. "Obligations" has the meaning assigned such term in the Credit Agreement and shall also include, without limitation, Borrower's performance obligations thereunder, including without limitation, its obligation to perform Section 7.6A thereof. "payment in full", "paid in full" or any similar term means the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations or the Make-Well Obligations, as the case may be, including, without limitation, all principal, interest, costs, fees, expenses and indemnities (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) of Lenders and Administrative Agent as required under the Loan Documents. 1.2 Interpretation. a. References to "Sections" shall be to Sections of this Make-Well Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided. b. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Make-Well Agreement and the terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Make-Well Agreement shall prevail. SECTION 2. MAKE-WELL 2.1 Obligation of Circus. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof, Circus shall make Additional Contributions (as defined below) to Borrower in such amounts as are necessary to ensure that Borrower maintains a Make-Well Coverage Ratio of at least 1.05:1.00 ("Minimum Coverage Ratio") as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter for the period of four Fiscal Quarters then ended. If, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof, or the termination of all of the Commitments, payment in full of all Loans and other Obligations and the expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit (or the deposit of cash collateral with respect thereto), Borrower fails to maintain the Minimum Coverage Ratio, Circus shall make additional contributions of cash for equity of Borrower or General Partner Subordinated Debt or both (with the manner in which the Additional Contributions are so made to be in the discretion of Circus) in the amount necessary for Borrower to maintain the Minimum Coverage Ratio (such additional contributions, "Additional Contributions"). Circus' obligations to make such Additional Contributions are referred to herein as the "Make-Well Obligations." Circus shall make such Additional Contributions no later than 10 Business Days after (i) the date on which Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(iv) of the Credit Agreement demonstrating Borrower's failure to maintain such Minimum Coverage Ratio or, (ii) if Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate by the date required pursuant to Section 6.1(iv) of the Credit Agreement, on the date upon which Administrative Agent determines that the Make-Well Coverage Ratio was less than the Minimum Coverage Ratio (which determination shall be presumed correct unless and until Circus demonstrates the inaccuracy thereof) and notifies Circus of the same. If Circus fails to make Additional Contributions on the date required, interest shall accrue on the amount of Additional Contributions at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate until such Additional Contributions are made to Borrower; provided that all such interest accrued to the date such Additional Contributions are made shall be paid to Borrower together therewith and shall be treated as a cash contribution to Borrower in exchange for equity of Borrower or General Partner Subordinated Debt or, without duplication, both. In the event that Circus, in its discretion, elects to make Additional Contributions in the form of General Partner Subordinated Debt, Borrower hereby agrees that it will execute and deliver (and Circus agrees that it shall accept as evidence of such General Partner Subordinated Debt) the following: (a) a Loan Agreement, substantially in the form of the Credit Agreement dated as of May 30, 1995 between Borrower and Circus, together with a promissory note in the form contemplated thereby; (b) a Deed of Trust, substantially in the form of the Construction Deed of Trust dated May 30, 1995 made by Borrower for the benefit of Circus; and (c) a Security Agreement, substantially in the form of the Security Agreement dated May 30, 1995 made by Borrower in favor of Circus; (d) Financing Statements, fixture financing statements and other instruments, documents and agreements necessary or desirable to perfect the liens granted by Borrower to Circus in connection therewith, in each case substantially in the form delivered on May 30, 1995; and (e) an Environmental Indemnity, substantially in the form of the Environmental Indemnity dated May 30, 1995 made by Borrower in favor of Circus. Circus and Borrower further agree that, concurrently with the execution and delivery of such agreements, they shall execute and deliver in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Subordination Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. All changes to the above documents from the forms delivered as of May 30, 1995 shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and its legal counsel, and any and all such agreements shall be executed and delivered within the time frames set forth herein for the making of Additional Contributions. 2.2 Liability of Circus Absolute. Circus agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full and prompt and complete performance of the Obligations, subject, however, to the right of Circus to terminate this Agreement in the manner, and upon the fulfillment of the conditions, set forth in Section 2.14 hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, Circus agrees as follows: (a) This Make-Well Agreement is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or other instruments relating to the creation or performance of the Obligations or the pursuit by Administrative Agent of any remedies that it now has or may hereafter have with respect thereto under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise. (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Make-Well Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default under Section 7.6A of the Credit Agreement even if Borrower, any Loan Party or any Borrower Parent disputes the existence of such Event of Default or Default. (c) The obligations of Circus hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and the obligations of any other guarantor of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Circus whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. (d) Circus' payment of a portion, but not all, of the Make-Well Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Circus' liability for any portion of the Make-Well Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce Circus' covenant to pay a portion of the Make-Well Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release Circus from its covenant to pay the portion of the Make-Well Obligations that is not the subject of such suit. (e) Administrative Agent, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Make-Well Agreement or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of Circus' liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment or performance of the Obligations subject to the limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided that, at any time after Galleon, Inc. ceases to be Managing Partner, unless Circus has received prior notice of any such change with respect to the performance standard required of Borrower under 7.6A of the Credit Agreement that would increase the amount of the Additional Contributions that would otherwise have been necessary to fulfill the Make-Well Obligations, Circus' obligations hereunder shall be limited to making the amount of Additional Contributions necessary to fulfill the Make-Well Obligations prior to such change; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or the Make-Well Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment or performance of the same to the payment or performance of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Obligations or the performance of Section 7.6A of the Credit Agreement and take and hold security for the payment of the Make-Well Obligations or the Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment or performance of the Obligations, any other guaranties of the Obligations or the performance of Section 7.6A of the Credit Agreement, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Obligations or the performance of Section 7.6A of the Credit Agreement; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of this Make-Well Agreement or the performance of the Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Administrative Agent or Lenders, or any of them, may have against any such security, as Administrative Agent in its discretion may determine consistent with the Credit Agreement and any applicable security agreement; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents. (f) This Make-Well Agreement and the obligations of Circus hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full and prompt and complete performance of the Obligations or, only as to the portion paid, payment of a portion of the Make-Well Obligations for any relevant period), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not Circus shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Obligations, the Make-Well Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to events of default) of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Obligations, or of the obligations encompassed thereby, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Obligations, even though Administrative Agent or Lenders, or any of them, might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Obligations; (v) any Lender's or Administrative Agent's consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the legal structure or existence of Borrower and to any corresponding restructuring of the Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set- offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of the Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Circus as an obligor in respect of the Make-Well Obligations. 2.3 Waivers by Circus. Circus hereby waives, for the benefit of Lenders and Administrative Agent: (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or Lenders, as a condition of payment or performance by Circus, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Administrative Agent or any Lender whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon Administrative Agent's or any Lender's errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Make-Well Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of Circus' obligations hereunder, (ii) any rights to set-offs, recoupment and counterclaims, and (iii) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto: (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Make-Well Agreement, notices of default under the Credit Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 2.2 and any right to consent to any thereof: and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Make-Well Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 40.430-40.459, 40.475 and 40.485 as permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 40.495 (1993), and any successor provisions. 2.4 Circus' Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Circus and Borrower hereby expressly agree that any Additional Contributions made by Circus pursuant to this Make-Well Agreement shall be made in exchange for equity of Borrower or General Partner Subordinated Debt or, without duplication, both (as determined by Circus), and Circus shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation, contribution or reimbursement from any Person (including without limitation, Borrower, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any guarantor) with respect to such Additional Contributions until this Make- Well Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof; provided that to the extent Circus receives General Partner Subordinated Debt in exchange for Additional Contributions, Circus shall be entitled (subject to Section 2.5 below) to such reimbursement as is permitted pursuant to the Subordinated Debt Documents; provided further that such entitlement shall cease upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Default. 2.5 Real Property Security. Circus agrees that, if all or a portion of the Obligations or any other guaranty of all or a portion of the Obligations are at any time secured by a deed of trust or mortgage covering interests in real property, then, in the event that Additional Contributions are not made when required pursuant to Section 2.1, Administrative Agent or its designee, in its sole discretion, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of Circus, may foreclose at any time thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (including Section 7.6A of the Credit Agreement) or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, on any such deed of trust or mortgage and the property described therein by nonjudicial or other sale without affecting the obligations of Circus hereunder. Without limiting any of the waivers contained elsewhere herein, Circus hereby waives any defense to liability arising by reason of the exercise by Lenders or Administrative Agent or any of them, of any right or remedy contained in any such deed of trust or mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents. Circus hereby authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent and any Lender to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights or remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of Circus that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances, subject, only, to the right of Circus to terminate this Agreement in the manner, and upon the fulfillment of the conditions, set forth in Section 2.14 hereof. Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of any such deed of trust or mortgage, whether by the exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial foreclosure, or by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Circus shall remain bound under this Make-Well Agreement; provided the net proceeds of any such exercise of remedies shall be deducted from the Obligations to the extent such proceeds are applied to reduce the Obligations in any calculation of amounts owing from Circus under the terms of this Make-Well Agreement. 2.6 Expenses. Circus agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless against liability for, any and all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred or expended by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Make-Well Agreement. 2.7 Continuing Guaranty. This Make-Well Agreement is a continuing guaranty and, subject to Section 2.14, shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash by Circus, Borrower or otherwise and promptly and completely performed and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been canceled. Circus' liability under this Make-Well Agreement shall not be reduced by virtue of any payment by Borrower of any amounts due under the Credit Agreement (other than a payment that increases the actual Make-Well Coverage Ratio maintained by Borrower) or under any of the Loan Documents or by Administrative Agent's or Lenders' recourse to any collateral or security. Circus hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Make-Well Agreement as to future transactions giving rise to any Make-Well Obligations. 2.8 Authority of Circus or Borrower. It is not necessary for Lenders or Administrative Agent to inquire into the capacity or powers of Circus or Borrower or the officers, directors or any Administrative Agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 2.9 Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Loans may be granted to Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from Circus regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. Lenders and Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Circus their assessment, or Circus' assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower; provided that Administrative Agent shall give notice to Circus of any reduction of Commitments or change in the final maturity of the Loans; provided, further, that the failure of Administrative Agent to so notify Circus shall not affect the obligations of Circus hereunder. Circus has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its obligations to satisfy its financial covenants), and Circus assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. Circus hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by Administrative Agent or any Lender. 2.10 Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies given to Lenders and Administrative Agent by this Make-Well Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Lenders and Administrative Agent by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement between Circus and Lenders and/or Administrative Agent or between Borrower and Lenders and/or Administrative Agent. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Lender or Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 2.11 Bankruptcy. So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, Circus shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or against Borrower. The obligations of Circus under this Make- Well Agreement shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or by any defense which Borrower may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 2.12 Notice of Events. As soon as Circus obtains knowledge thereof, Circus shall give Administrative Agent written notice of any condition or event which has resulted in (a) a material adverse change in the financial condition of Circus or Borrower or (b) a breach of or noncompliance with any term, condition or covenant contained herein or in the Circus Loan Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto. Promptly upon Administrative Agent's receipt of notice thereof, Administrative Agent shall give Circus written notice of any Event of Default; provided that the failure of Administrative Agent to so notify Circus shall not affect any obligation of Circus hereunder. 2.13 Cooperation With Gaming Boards. Circus agrees that it shall cooperate with Administrative Agent and Lenders to fulfill the requirements of any Gaming Board with respect to the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders to enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of the Obligations, or to exercise any other right or remedy that Administrative Agent or Lenders, or any of them, may have against any such party. 2.14 Termination of Agreement; Conditions. During the period from December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2001, Circus shall have the option to elect to terminate the Make-Well Agreement by written notice to the Administrative Agent (subject to confirmation of receipt by Administrative Agent as set forth below), substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, if all the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) on the last day of each of the two most recent Fiscal Quarters for which financial statements of Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Stand-Alone Leverage Ratio is 3.00:1.00 or less; (ii) for each of the two most recent Fiscal Quarters for which financial statements of Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Stand-Alone Coverage Ratio for the four consecutive Fiscal Quarters then ended is not less than 1.25:1.00; (iii) no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iv) Circus shall not be in default in any of its monetary agreements under this Agreement. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice in a form which the Administrative Agent believes to be proper, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event that any Lender believes that the Make-Well Agreement may not properly be terminated, it shall provide written notice of its objection to the termination of the Make-Well Agreement within 10 days of the date of such notice, which written notice shall state the basis of the objection. In the absence of any such objection, the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the request, and terminate the Make-Well Agreement within 14 days of the giving of such notice (or, if any objection has been served, as promptly as possible following the resolution of such objection). The termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section shall not result in a termination of the Environmental Indemnity executed by Circus nor shall it absolve Circus of any obligation to make payments which have previously accrued hereunder.

that the term "proceeds" includes whatever is receivable or received when any of the Property is sold, collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Beneficiary acknowledges that it has no security interest in (x) any cash of Trustor described in clauses (e), (f) and (h) above, to the extent such a security interest is prohibited by any Gaming Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (y) any deposit account described in clause (f) above, to the extent such a security interest is not permitted by applicable law. (The Real Property, the Personal Property and all of the other collateral described above may hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Property". The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on and security interest in the Property, and, as provided in Section 12 hereof, an absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary. To the extent any of the Property, Rents or Leases are not encumbered by a perfected lien or security interest created above, and are not absolutely assigned by the assignment set forth in Section 12, below, it is the intention of the parties that such Property, Rents and/or Leases shall constitute "proceeds, product, offspring, rents or profits" (as defined in and for the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such section may be modified or supplemented) of the Land and Improvements, and/or "fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in . . . lodging properties," as applicable (as such terms are defined in and for the purpose of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be modified or supplemented).) FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING: First: Payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including payment of amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 362(a)), of all obligations and liabilities of every nature of Trustor now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement executed concurrently herewith by Trustor, as Borrower, Beneficiary, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders listed therein as lenders (the "Lenders"), together with any and all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, rearrangements, replacements, restatements, substitutions and addendums thereof or thereto (herein referred to as the "Credit Agreement"), or the promissory notes issued to the Lenders to evidence such obligations and liabilities, together with any and all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, rearrangements, replacements, restatements, substitutions and addendums thereof or thereto (herein referred to as the "Notes"), whether for principal in the amount of Two Hundred Thirty Million Dollars ($230,000,000) or such principal amount as may be advanced and remain unpaid or for interest (including, without limitation, interest that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Trustor, would accrue on such obligations), reimbursement of amounts drawn under Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement), fees, expenses, and amounts owing under indemnities or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Beneficiary or any such Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise. Second: Payment and performance of every obligation, covenant, promise and agreement of Trustor herein contained (excepting, however, the obligations of Trustor under Section 5(c) hereof are not secured hereby), or incorporated herein by reference, including any sums paid or advanced by Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof. Third: Payment of the expenses and costs incurred or paid by Beneficiary in the preservation and enforcement of the rights and remedies of Beneficiary and the duties and liabilities of Trustor hereunder, including, but not by way of limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, reasonable witness fees, reasonable expert witness fees, reasonable collection costs, Trustee's fees and costs of a Trustee's Sale Guarantee, and costs and expenses paid by Beneficiary in performing for Trustor's account any obligation of Trustor. Fourth: Payment of additional sums and interest thereon which may hereafter be loaned to Trustor by the Lenders when evidenced by a promissory note or notes or other agreement between Trustor and the Lenders that recites that this Deed of Trust is security therefor. Fifth: Performance of every obligation, warranty, representation, covenant, agreement and promise of Trustor contained in the Credit Agreement. The foregoing are described herein as the "Secured Obligations". All persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in the Notes or the Credit Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or the making of future advances, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time. It is the intention of Trustor and Beneficiary that this Deed of Trust is an "instrument" (as defined in NRS 106.330 as amended and recodified from time to time) which secures "future advances" (as defined in NRS 106.320 as amended and recodified from time to time) and which is governed by NRS 106.300 through 106.400 as amended and recodified from time to time. It is the intention of the parties that the Secured Obligations include the obligation of Trustor to repay "future advances" of "principal" (as defined in NRS 106.345 as amended and recodified from time to time) in an amount up to the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which is initially up to $230,000,000.00), and that the lien of this Deed of Trust secures the obligation of Trustor to repay all such "future advances" with the priority set forth in NRS 106.370(1) as amended and recodified from time to time. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Lenders to make the Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and the obligation of Issuing Bank (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and to honor draws thereunder are obligatory in nature and not governed by the provisions of NRS 106.300, et. seq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event that the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, or the honoring of the draws under the Letters of Credit, are deemed to be optional, then the maximum "principal" amount of such Advances to be secured hereunder is initially $230,000,000.00. Sixth: Payment and performance by Trustor of each and every obligation of Trustor with respect to interest rate swap agreements, currency swap agreements, and similar hedging arrangements, interest rate swaps, caps and/or collar agreements entered into with any Lender which is party to the Credit Agreement, (each such agreement being referred to herein as an "Interest Rate Agreement"), each covenant, promise and agreement contained in any Interest Rate Agreement, and the costs and expenses of enforcement against Trustor of any Interest Rate Agreements. THIS DEED OF TRUST FURTHER WITNESSETH THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING GRANTS, AND THE ENCUMBRANCES, LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED THEREBY, TRUSTOR COVENANTS AND AGREES AS FOLLOWS: 11.

With respect to any matter in this Section 4 requiring Beneficiary's prior consent, Trustor shall submit to Beneficiary a written request for such consent (together with such information and documentation as appropriate to enable Beneficiary to make an informed decision regarding such request), and Beneficiary will have thirty (30) days after receipt thereof in which to review and respond to such request. If Beneficiary fails to respond to Trustor's request within said thirty (30) day period, Trustor may resubmit its request in writing, stating that Beneficiary failed to respond to the initial request within said thirty (30) day period and, if Beneficiary thereafter fails to respond to such request within five (5) days, Beneficiary shall be deemed to have consented thereto. 15. Environmental Obligations. (a) Trustor shall exercise due diligence in order to comply with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined) regarding the presence or removal of Hazardous Material on or in the Property, shall pay immediately, when due, the costs of removal from the Property and disposal of any Hazardous Material which is required to be removed pursuant to any Environmental Laws and shall keep the Property free of any lien which may arise pursuant to any such Environmental Laws.

(c) Blanket and Umbrella Policies. If Beneficiary consents, Trustor may provide any of the required insurance through an umbrella policy or policies or through blanket policies carried by Trustor and covering more than one location, or by policies procured by a tenant or other party holding under Trustor; provided, however, that the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Real Property and available with respect to occurrences required to be insured against shall be such as to furnish protection the equivalent of separate policies in the amounts herein required, and provided further, that, in all other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with all of the other provisions of this Deed of Trust. (d) Evidence of Insurance. At Beneficiary's option, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with an original of all policies of insurance required under this Section or with a certificate of insurance for each required policy setting forth the coverage, the limits of liability, the deductibles, if any, the name of the carrier, the policy number, and the period of coverage, which certificates shall be executed by authorized officials of the companies issuing such insurance, or by agents or attorneys-in-fact authorized to issue said certificates (in which event each such certificate shall be accompanied by a notarized affidavit, agency agreement or power of attorney evidencing the authority of the signatory to issue such certificate on behalf of the insurer named therein). Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary annually, within ten days after the date hereof, or more often if Beneficiary shall reasonably request, a certificate of Trustor specifying all insurance policies with respect to the Property and all other policies required hereby then outstanding and in force, and stating whether or not such insurance complies with the requirements of this Section and, if it does not, the manner in which it does not comply. At least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each required policy, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary of the payment of premium and the renewal or replacement of such policy continuing insurance in force as required by this Deed of Trust. (e) Procurement by Beneficiary. If Trustor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver to Beneficiary the policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may (but shall have no obligation to) procure such insurance, or single interest insurance for such risks covering Beneficiary's interests, and Trustor will pay all premiums therefor promptly upon demand by Beneficiary; and until such payment is made by Trustor, the amount of all such premiums, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the rate specified in Section 2.2 E. (Post-Maturity Interest) of the Credit Agreement (or if such provision is hereafter replaced or renumbered, the equivalent section) (the "Agreed Rate"), shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. (f) Reserve Fund. Upon request by Beneficiary following an Event of Default (as defined in Section 23 hereof) relating to the payment of money, or following and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an initial cash reserve in an amount adequate to pay all insurance premiums due within the next succeeding twelve calendar months on all policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust (or such lesser amount as may then be specified by Beneficiary), and shall thereafter deposit with Beneficiary each month, commencing with the first month after such request by Beneficiary and continuing until all sums secured hereby are paid in full or Beneficiary notifies Trustor to cease making such deposits, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the aggregate annual insurance premiums on all policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust, as reasonably estimated by Beneficiary. In such event Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to the foregoing insurance premiums to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents evidencing that a premium for a required policy is then payable, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, Beneficiary shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may be then or subsequently due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, nor shall anything contained herein modify the obligation of Trustor to maintain and keep in force at all times such insurance as is required by this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may commingle said reserve with its own funds and Trustor shall be entitled to no interest thereon. (g) Replacement Cost. Whenever Beneficiary requires insurance with full replacement cost protection, such full replacement cost shall be determined annually (except in the event of substantial changes, alterations or additions to the Improvements or in the event of new construction undertaken by the Trustor, in which event such full replacement cost shall be determined from time to time as required to assure full replacement cost coverage). Such determination of full replacement cost shall be made by written agreement of the insurance carrier and Trustor, subject to the reasonable approval of Beneficiary. If they cannot agree or the value shall not be approved by Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after such request, such full replacement cost shall be determined by an appraiser, architect or contractor who shall be reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary. No omission on the part of Beneficiary to request any such determination shall relieve Trustor of its obligations hereunder, and any such determination to the contrary notwithstanding, Beneficiary may require Trustor to obtain additional insurance as provided in this Section. (h) Separate Insurance. Trustor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Section to be furnished by Trustor unless Beneficiary is a named insured therein, with loss payable as provided herein. Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary of the taking out of any such separate insurance and shall cause the original policies in respect thereof or certificates therefor to be delivered to Beneficiary. (i) Compliance with Insurance Requirements. Trustor shall observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of insurance required to be maintained in accordance with this Deed of Trust and shall cause the requirements of the companies writing such policies to be so performed and satisfied that at all times companies of good standing satisfactory to Beneficiary shall be willing to write and to continue such insurance. Notwithstanding any approval, disapproval, acceptance or acquiescence by Beneficiary with respect to such insurance, or Beneficiary's obtaining or failure to obtain any insurance, Beneficiary shall incur no liability as to the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, the solvency of any insurer or the payment of any loss, and Trustor hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor. (j) Assignment of Policies upon Foreclosure. In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title or assignment of any of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the debt secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to all policies of insurance required by this Section with respect to such Property and any unearned premiums paid thereon shall, without further act, be assigned to and shall inure to the benefit of and pass to the successor in interest to Trustor or the purchaser or grantee of the Property, and Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary its lawful attorney-in- fact to execute an assignment thereof and any other document necessary to effect such transfer. (k) Waiver of Subrogation. Trustor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Beneficiary, its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Trustor, the Property, any other property of Trustor, or any property of others under Trustor's control, from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Deed of Trust. (l) Requirements Supplemental. The requirements of this Deed of Trust with respect to insurance and maintenance of the Property shall be supplemental to and not exclusive of the requirements of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement relating thereto. 17. Casualties; Insurance Proceeds. (a) Notice of Casualties. Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary after the happening of any material casualty to or in connection with the Property or any part thereof, whether or not such casualty is covered by insurance. (b) Payment of Proceeds. Prior to any Event of Default, proceeds of insurance in an amount not greater than $1,000,000 payable in connection with any casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property shall be payable to Trustor. Proceeds in any greater amount and, after an Event of Default, all proceeds, payable in connection with any casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property shall be payable to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to Beneficiary. If Trustor receives any proceeds of insurance resulting from a casualty which, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, are to be paid to Beneficiary, Trustor shall promptly pay over such proceeds to Beneficiary. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction of the Property or any part thereof under any policy or policies of insurance in connection with a loss in an amount of $1,000,000 or more without the prior written consent of Beneficiary to such settlement, adjustment or compromise; and, after an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the sole and exclusive right, and Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary, to settle, adjust or compromise any such claims. (c) Use in Restoration. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, and provided that (i) at the time of such damage or destruction or thereafter, an Event of Default does not exist hereunder, and (ii) application of insurance proceeds to restoration of the Property will not, in Beneficiary's sole judgment, materially impair Beneficiary's security for the obligations secured hereby, insurance proceeds payable in connection with such damage or destruction shall be applied, first, toward reimbursement of all of Beneficiary's reasonable costs and expenses of recovering the proceeds, including reasonable attorneys' fees; then, to payment of all sums advanced by Beneficiary to protect the Property or the security of the Secured Obligations; then, to payment of installments of principal and interest then due and payable under the Notes; then, to restoration of the Property, upon conditions which are substantially similar to the disbursement provisions and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, and all other conditions and provisions established by Beneficiary which are similar to conditions and provisions then used by Beneficiary for disbursements of a construction loan (including, without limitation: delivery to Beneficiary by Trustor of detailed plans and specifications providing for restoration in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project, together with a detailed estimate of the cost of the work and schedule therefor and a construction contract satisfactory to Beneficiary, with a contractor satisfactory to Beneficiary, for performance of the work within the budgeted amount, and within the scheduled time for completion; proof that the insurance required hereby is in force; proof that an amount equal to the sum which Beneficiary is requested to disburse has theretofore been paid by Trustor, or is then due and payable, for materials theretofore installed or work theretofore performed upon the Property and properly includable in the cost of repair, reconstruction or restoration thereof; proof that, after repair or reconstruction, the Property will be at least as valuable as it was immediately before the damage or condemnation occurred; and proof that the insurance proceeds available for repair or restoration are sufficient, in Beneficiary's determination, to pay for the total cost of repair or recon- struction, including all associated development costs and interest projected to be payable on the Secured Obligations until the repair or reconstruction is complete, or Trustor must provide its own funds in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds available for repair or restoration and a reasonable estimate, made by Trustor and found acceptable by Beneficiary, of the total cost of repair or reconstruction); and, upon completion of the work of restoration and payment of the cost thereof, any balance of such proceeds shall be applied to the indebtedness secured hereby, in such order as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, shall determine; and, if any then remains, it shall be paid over to Trustor. (d) Application by Beneficiary. If (i) at the time of such damage or destruction or thereafter, an Event of Default exists hereunder, or (ii) application of insurance proceeds to restoration will, in Beneficiary's sole judgment, materially impair Beneficiary's security for the obligations secured hereby, Beneficiary shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, (1) to apply all or any portion of such proceeds to any indebtedness or other obligation secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not be due according to the terms thereof, or (2) to apply all or any portion of such proceeds to the restoration of the Property, subject to such conditions as Beneficiary shall determine, or (3) to deliver all or any portion such proceeds to Trustor, subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine. (e) Duty to Restore. Nothing in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to excuse Trustor from restoring, repairing and maintaining the Property, as herein provided (other than Beneficiary's failure to apply insurance proceeds to the restoration of the Property as and to the extent required by Section 7(c) above, which failure shall excuse Trustor only to the extent of the insurance proceeds so withheld by Beneficiary), regardless of whether or not insurance proceeds are available for restoration, whether or not any such proceeds are sufficient in amount, or whether or not the Property can be restored to the same condition and character as existed prior to such damage or destruction. 18. Taxes and Impositions. (a) Payment by Trustor. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(d) below, Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid, at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency, all real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-governmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, owner association dues or charges or fees, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property or the Skyways, which are assessed or imposed upon the Property or the Skyways, or become due and payable, and which create, may create or appear to create a lien upon the Property, or any part thereof, or the Skyways, or upon any personal property, equipment or other facility used in the operation or maintenance thereof (all of which taxes, assessments and charges, together with any and all other taxes, and charges of a similar kind or nature are collectively referred to hereinafter as "Impositions"); provided, however, that if, by law, any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, Trustor may pay the same or cause it to be paid, together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment and interest. (b) New Impositions. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be assessed or imposed (i) a tax or assessment on the Property in lieu of or in addition to the Impositions payable by Trustor pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section, or (ii) a license fee, tax or assessment imposed on Beneficiary and measured by or based in whole or in part upon the amount of the Notes or other obligations secured hereby, then all such taxes, assessments or fees shall be deemed to be included within the term "Impositions" as defined in Subsection (a) of this Section, and Trustor shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided with respect to the payment of Impositions, if Trustor is permitted by law to pay the same. If Trustor is prohibited by law from paying such Impositions, then, at the option of Beneficiary, all obligations secured hereby, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Trustor shall have no obligation to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, income, excess profits or similar tax levied on Beneficiary or on the obligations secured hereby. (c) Proof of Payment. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (d) of this Section, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary, within seven (7) days after the date upon which any Imposition is due and payable by Trustor in accordance with this Deed of Trust, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to Beneficiary, evidencing the payment thereof. (d) Contest of Assessments. Trustor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity or amount of any such Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Trustor's covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section unless Trustor has given prior written notice to Beneficiary of Trustor's intent so to contest or object to an Imposition, and unless, at Beneficiary's sole option, (i) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary's satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Property, or any part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings; or (ii) Trustor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Beneficiary; or (iii) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary's satisfaction that Trustor has provided a good and sufficient undertaking as required or permitted by law to accomplish a stay of any such sale. (e) Reserve Fund. Upon request by Beneficiary following an Event of Default relating to the payment of money, or following and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an initial cash reserve in an amount adequate to pay all Impositions for the ensuing tax fiscal year (or such lesser amount as may then be specified by Beneficiary), and shall thereafter deposit with Beneficiary each month, commencing with the first month after such request by Beneficiary and continuing until all sums secured hereby are paid in full or Beneficiary gives notice to Trustor to cease making such deposits, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the sum of the annual Impositions, as reasonably estimated by Beneficiary. In such event, Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to Impositions to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents evidencing that Impositions are then payable, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, Beneficiary shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and upon such notice Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, nor shall anything contained herein modify the obligation of Trustor to pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions. Beneficiary may commingle said reserve with its own funds and Trustor shall be entitled to no interest thereon. Beneficiary may impound or reserve for future payment of Impositions such portion of such payments as Beneficiary may in its absolute discretion deem proper, applying the balance upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not yet be due according to the terms thereof. Should Trustor fail to deposit with Beneficiary (exclusive of that portion of said payments which has been applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby) sums sufficient to fully pay such Impositions at least thirty (30) days before delinquency thereof, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary's election, but without any obligation so to do, advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate, shall be secured hereby and shall be repayable to Beneficiary upon demand; or, at the option of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, without making any advance whatever, apply any sums held by it upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not yet be due according to the terms thereof. (f) Joint Assessment. Trustor shall not initiate, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall not suffer or permit the joint assessment of any real and personal property which may constitute all or a portion of the Property or any other procedure whereby the lien of real property taxes and the lien of personal property taxes shall be assessed, levied or charged to the Property as a single lien. (g) Tax Service. Trustor shall cause to be furnished to Beneficiary a tax reporting service, covering the Property, of the type and duration, and with a company, satisfactory to Beneficiary. 19. Liens. Trustor shall pay and promptly discharge, at Trustor's cost and expense, all liens, encum- brances and charges upon the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein; provided that Trustor shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity or amount of any such lien, encumbrance or charge in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, and provided further that Trustor will not be required to pay or discharge Permitted Encumbrances. If Trustor shall fail to remove and discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge when due (or, if being contested in accordance with the Credit Agreement, promptly upon final determination of such contest proceedings), 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, encumbrance or charge by depositing in a court a bond or the amount claimed or otherwise giving security for such claim, or by procuring such discharge in such manner as is or may be prescribed by law. Trustor shall, immediately upon demand therefor by Beneficiary, pay to Beneficiary an amount equal to all costs and expenses incurred by Benefi- ciary in connection with the exercise by Beneficiary of the foregoing right to discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge, together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate. 20. Easements and Leaseholds. If a leasehold estate or an easement or other incorporeal right constitutes a portion of the Real Property, Trustor agrees not to amend, change or modify (other than any such amendment, change or modification that is beneficial to the Real Property, with the beneficial nature thereof to be determined in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment) or terminate such leasehold estate, easement or other right or interest, or any right thereto or interest therein, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications. Trustor shall submit to Beneficiary any such request for consent in writing (which request shall include such information and documentation as appropriate to enable Beneficiary to make an informed decision regarding such request), and Beneficiary will have thirty (30) days after receipt thereof in which to review and respond to such request. If Beneficiary fails to respond to Trustor's request within said thirty (30) day period, Trustor may resubmit its request in writing, stating that Beneficiary failed to respond to the initial request within said thirty (30) day period and, if Beneficiary thereafter fails to respond to such request within five (5) days, Beneficiary shall be deemed to have consented thereto. Trustor agrees to perform all obligations and agreements with respect to said leasehold, easement or other right or interest and shall not take any action or omit to take any action which would effect or permit the termination thereof. Trustor agrees to promptly notify Beneficiary in writing with respect to any default or alleged default by any party thereto and to deliver to Beneficiary copies of all notices, demands, complaints or other communications received or given by Trustor with respect to any such default or alleged default. Beneficiary shall have the option to cure any such default and to perform any or all of Trustor's obligations thereunder or with respect thereto. All sums expended by Beneficiary in curing any such default shall be secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable without demand or notice and shall bear interest from date of expenditure at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate. 21. Further Acts. Trustor shall do and perform all acts necessary to keep valid and effective the charges and lien hereof, to carry into effect its object and purposes, to protect the lawful owners of the Notes and other obligations secured hereby; shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary at any time, upon request of Beneficiary, all other and further instruments in writing necessary to vest in and secure to Trustee each and every part of the Real Property and to Beneficiary the Rents therefrom and rights and interest of Beneficiary therein or with respect thereto; and, upon request by the Beneficiary, shall supply evidence of fulfillment of each of the covenants herein contained concerning which a request for such evidence has been made. 22. Assignment of Rents. (a) Assignment to Beneficiary; Trustor's Limited License to Collect Prior to Default. Notwithstanding any language contained herein, or in any other document, to the contrary, Trustor hereby irrevocably and absolutely assigns and transfers to Beneficiary, without having to first take possession of the Property, all Rents, including all present and future Leases and other rental agreements, reserving unto Trustor a license to collect such Rents prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license reserved to Trustor shall be immediately revoked without further demand or notice, and any Rents, including those past due, unpaid or undetermined, may be collected by Beneficiary or its agent, and any amount so collected shall be applied, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to any indebtedness and/or obligations secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary shall determine, provided that, upon Trustor's cure of any Event of Default not relating to the payment of money, Beneficiary will reinstate Trustor's license to collect such Rents. The collection of such Rents, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or constitute a waiver of any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. Trustor and Beneficiary intend that this assignment shall be a present, absolute and unconditional assignment, not an assignment for additional security only, and shall, immediately upon the execution hereof, subject to the license granted above, give Beneficiary, and its agent, the right to collect the Rents and to apply them as aforesaid. Nothing contained herein, nor any collection of Rents by Beneficiary, or its agent or a receiver, shall be construed to make Beneficiary (i) a "Mortgagee-in- Possession" of the Property so long as Beneficiary has not itself entered into actual possession of the Property; (ii) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any Lease; (iii) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or (iv) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it (provided that this clause (iv) shall not act to relieve Beneficiary from liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary). (b) No Other Assignments. Trustor hereby represents to Beneficiary that there is no assignment or pledge of any Leases of, or Rent from, the Property now in effect, and covenants that, until the Notes are fully paid, the Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have expired or been canceled, and the other Secured Obligations are fully satisfied and the Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are terminated, Trustor will not make any such assignment or pledge to anyone other than Beneficiary nor will it accept any periodic payments which are to be made pursuant to such Leases or Rents more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which such payments are due. 23. Actions Affecting Property. Trustor shall give Beneficiary and Trustee prompt written notice of the assertion of any claim with respect to, or the filing of any action or proceeding affecting or purporting to affect, the Property or Skyways, or title thereto or any right of possession thereof, or this Deed of Trust or the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder. Trustor shall appear in and contest any such action or proceeding at Trustor's sole expense; and shall pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear. 24. Eminent Domain. If any proceeding or action be commenced for the taking of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, for public or quasi- public use under the power of eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise, or if the same be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner, or should Trustor receive any notice or other information regarding such proceeding, action, taking or damage (including, without limitation, a proposal to purchase the Property or some portion thereof in lieu of condemnation), Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, without regard to the adequacy of its security, to investigate and negotiate with the condemnor concerning the proposed taking, to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any such action or proceeding, and, if the amount of the Award (defined below) is an amount greater than $1,000,000, or if an Event of Default then exists hereunder, to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage. Trustor shall not compromise or settle any such action or proceeding or agree to any sale in lieu of condemnation if the amount of the Award is an amount greater than $1,000,000 without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. All compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds awarded to Trustor by reason of any such taking, transfer or damage (the "Award") are hereby assigned to Beneficiary and Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Award as Beneficiary or Trustee may require. After deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit), including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by it in connection with any such negotiations, action or proceeding (whether or not prosecuted to judgment), Beneficiary shall, if (i) an Event of Default does not then exist hereunder, and (ii) if application of the Award to restoration of the Property will not, in Beneficiary's sole judgment, materially impair Beneficiary's security for the obligations secured hereby, apply the Award to the restoration of the Property, upon conditions substantially similar to the disbursement provisions and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, and all other conditions and provisions established by Beneficiary which are similar to conditions and provisions then used by Beneficiary for disbursements of a construction loan (it being expressly understood and agreed that Beneficiary may condition disbursement of such proceeds for restoration upon proof that an amount equal to the sum which Beneficiary is requested to disburse has theretofore been paid by Trustor without reimbursement therefor, or is then due and payable, for materials theretofore installed or work theretofore performed upon the Property and properly includable in the cost of repair, reconstruction or restoration thereof). If, at the time of receipt by Beneficiary of such proceeds, (i) an Event of Default then exists hereunder, or (ii) application of the Award to restoration will, in Beneficiary's sole judgment, materially impair Beneficiary's security for the obligations secured hereby, Beneficiary shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, (1) to apply all or any portion of the Award upon any indebtedness or other obligation secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may not be due according to the terms thereof, or (2) to apply all or any portion of the Award to the restoration of the Property, subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine, or (3) to deliver all or any portion of the Award, after such deductions, to Trustor, subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine (and, if the Award is not sufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations in full, Trustor shall immediately pay any re- maining balance, together with all accrued interest thereon). Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Trustor from restoring, repairing and maintaining the Property, as herein provided (other than Beneficiary's failure to apply the Award to the restoration of the Property as and to the extent required by the provisions of this Section 14, which failure shall excuse Trustor only to the extent of the Award so withheld by Beneficiary), regardless of whether or not the Award is available for restoration, whether or not any such Award is sufficient in amount, or whether or not the Property can be restored to the same condition and character as existed prior to such damage or partial taking. Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner under all laws, including NRS 37.115, as amended or recodified from time to time, which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder. 25. Due on Sale. Except as otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement, or this Deed of Trust, if the Trustor shall sell or convey, or create or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance on, or in any other manner alienate or otherwise "transfer" the Real Property hereby encumbered or any part thereof or any interest therein, or shall enter into any agreement for the same that is not expressly conditioned on Beneficiary's approval, or shall be divested of its title in any manner or way, whether voluntary or involuntary or by merger, without the written consent of Beneficiary being first had and obtained, any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, irrespective of the maturity dates expressed in the Notes or any other notes, instruments or documents evidencing the same, at the option of Beneficiary, and without demand or notice, shall immediately become due and payable. Consent to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. Beneficiary may grant or deny such consent in its sole discretion and, if consent should be given, any such transfer shall be subject to this Deed of Trust, and any such transferee shall assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions contained herein. Such assumption shall not, however, release Trustor or any maker or guarantor of any Secured Obligation from any liability with respect thereto without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. As used herein, "transfer" includes the direct or indirect sale, agreement to sell, transfer, conveyance, pledge, collateral assignment or hypothecation of the Real Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, the execution of any installment land sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or a portion of the Real Property, or the lease of all or substantially all of the Real Property. The term "transfer" shall also include the direct or indirect transfer, assignment, hypothecation or conveyance of legal or beneficial ownership of (i) any partnership interest in Trustor, (ii) any partnership or other interest in any general partner in Trustor, or in any partner or member in or other constituent of any general partner of Trustor, that is a partnership or limited liability company or similar entity, or (iii) any stock in any general partner in Trustor, or in any constituent of any general partner or Trustor, that is a corporation. 26. Partial or Late Payments. By accepting payment of any indebtedness secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive its right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other indebtedness so secured or to declare default, as herein provided, for failure to so pay. 27. Reconveyance By Trustee. Upon receipt of written request from Beneficiary reciting that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and the Letters of Credit have expired or been canceled and the Commitments have terminated, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and the Notes secured hereby to Trustee for cancellation and retention, or such other disposition as Trustee, in its sole discretion, may choose, and upon payment of its fees, the Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty or recourse, 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". 28. Right of Beneficiary and Trustee to Appear. If, during the existence of the trust created hereby, there be commenced or pending any suit or action materially and adversely affecting the Property, or any part thereof, or the title thereto, or if any adverse claim for or against the Property, or any part thereof, be made or asserted, the Trustee or Beneficiary may appear or intervene in the suit or action and retain counsel therein and, unless such suit or action is being diligently contested in good faith by Trustor and Trustor shall have established and maintained adequate reserves with Beneficiary for the full payment and satisfaction of such suit or action if determined adversely to Trustor, may defend same, or otherwise take such action therein as the Trustee or Beneficiary may be advised and may pay and expend such sums of money as the Trustee or Beneficiary may deem to be necessary and Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Trustee and Beneficiary incurred in connection therewith. 29. Performance by Trustee or Beneficiary. If Trustor fails to make any payment or perform any act as and in the manner provided in any of the Loan Documents, then the Trustee or Beneficiary, at the election of either of them and without any obligation to do so, after the giving of reasonable notice to the Trustor, or any successor in interest of the Trustor, or any of them and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, may make such payment or perform such act and incur any liability, or expend whatever amounts, in its absolute discretion, it may deem necessary therefor. In connection therewith (without limiting their general and other powers, whether conferred herein, in another Loan Document or by law), Beneficiary and Trustee, and each of them, shall have and are hereby given the right, but not the obligation, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Property; (ii) to make additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Property which they or either of them may consider necessary or proper to keep the Property in good condition and repair; (iii) to appear and participate in any action or proceeding affecting or which may affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iv) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or debt which in the judgment of either may affect or appears to affect the security of this Deed of Trust or to be prior or superior hereto; and (v) in exercising such powers, to pay necessary expenses, including employment of counsel and other necessary or desirable consultants. All sums incurred or expended by the Trustee or Beneficiary, under the terms hereof (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs of evidence of title, court costs, appraisals, surveys, and receiver's, Trustee's and reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys for Trustee), whether or not an action is actually commenced in connection therewith), shall become due and payable by the Trustor to the Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case may be, on the next interest or installment payment date under the Notes secured hereby and shall bear interest until paid at an annual percentage rate equal to the Agreed Rate. In no event shall payment by Trustee or Beneficiary be construed as a waiver of the default occasioned by Trustor's failure to make such payment or payments. 30. Inspections. Beneficiary, or its agents, representatives or workers, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon or in any part of the Property for the purpose of inspecting the same and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform hereunder or under the terms of any of the Loan Documents. 31. Invalidity of Lien. If the lien of this Deed of Trust is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the "Obligations" or the "Indebtedness" (as those capitalized terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) of Trustor under the Loan Documents, or if the lien is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Property, the unsecured or partially secured portion of such Obligations and Indebtedness shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or partially secured portion of such Obligations and Indebtedness, and all payments made on such Obligations and Indebtedness, whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure, shall be considered to have been first paid on and applied to the full payment of that portion of such Obligations and Indebtedness which is not secured or is not fully secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. 32. Subrogation. To the extent that proceeds of the Notes or other sums advanced by Beneficiary are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds shall be deemed to have been advanced by Beneficiary at Trustor's request and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any and all rights and liens held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and prior encumbrances, regardless of whether said liens, charges or encumbrances are released. 33. Events of Default. Trustor will be in default under this Deed of Trust upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (some or all collectively, "Events of Default"; any one singly, an "Event of Default"): (a) Failure to Pay. Any amount due under any of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, or any other amount the payment of which is secured hereby, is not paid when due; or (b) Other Breaches Hereof. A breach by Trustor of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Deed of Trust which is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Trustor of notice of such breach; or (c) Future Advances. Trustor or any other "borrower" (as that term is defined in NRS 106.310, as amended or recodified from time to time) who may send a notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), as amended or recodified from time to time with respect to this Deed of Trust, (i) delivers, sends by mail or otherwise gives, or purports to deliver, send by mail or otherwise give, to Beneficiary, (A) any notice of an election to terminate the operation of this Deed of Trust as security for any Secured Obligation, including any obligation to repay any "future advance" (as defined in NRS 106.320, as amended or recodified from time to time) of "principal" (as defined in NRS 106.345, as amended or recodified from time to time), or (B) any other notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), as amended or recodified from time to time, (ii) records a statement pursuant to NRS 106.380(3), as amended or recodified from time to time, or (iii) causes this Deed of Trust, any Secured Obligation, or Beneficiary to be subject to NRS 106.380(2), 106.380(3) or 106.400, each as amended or recodified from time to time; or (d) Defaults Under Other Loan Documents. The occurrence under any of the Loan Documents of an "Event of Default" (as defined therein). 34. Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Beneficiary and Trustee will be entitled to invoke any and all of the following rights and remedies, all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall not constitute an election of remedies: (a) Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. (b) Receiver. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property or any part thereof, without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under Trustor, and without regard to the then value of the Property or the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein and in the Credit Agreement and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the later of (i) the date of confirmation of sale of all of the Property; (ii) the disbursement of all proceeds of the Property collected by such receiver and the payment of all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or (iii) the termination of such receivership with the consent of Beneficiary or pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Beneficiary may also request, in connection with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Nevada Gaming Commission petition a District Court of the State of Nevada for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal gaming activities on the Property following such foreclosure proceeding. (c) Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other things may include, among other things, any of the following: taking and possessing all of Trustor's or the then owner's books and records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Real Property in violation of the Loan Documents and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Real Property. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor's name on any instruments. Regardless of any provision of this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any property other than cash or immediately available funds in satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary, unless Beneficiary has given express written notice of Beneficiary's election of that remedy in accordance with the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as it may be amended or recodified from time to time. (d) Cure; Protection of Security. Either Beneficiary or Trustee may cure any breach or default of Trustor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary or Trustee may also enter the Property and, whether or not Beneficiary or Trustee enter the Property, do any and all other things which it, in its sole discretion, may consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the right to complete the Improvements. Such other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which in Beneficiary's or Trustee's sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary or Trustee to be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under this Deed of Trust; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary or Trustee. Beneficiary and Trustee may take any of the actions permitted under this Subsection either with or without giving notice to any person. (e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. With respect to Personal Property, Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under NRS Article 104.9101 et seq. (the Nevada enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code), together with any and all other rights and remedies provided in the Security Agreement. (f) Judicial Action. Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or agreements of this Deed of Trust or for any other remedy provided herein, in the Credit Agreement, in any Loan Document or otherwise provided by law or in equity. (g) Power of Sale. Under the power of sale herein granted, Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law. (i) Sales of Personal Property. (A) For purposes of the power of sale herein granted, Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If Beneficiary chooses to do so, Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of real property, in any manner permitted by or under the NRS, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law. (B) The following provision shall apply in the absence of any specific statutory requirement which permits or requires a different notice period: In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Trustor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale to Trustor not later than ten (10) days prior to such sale. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will, to the extent reasonably practicable, make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours prior to the sale. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable. (ii) Trustee's Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral. (A) Beneficiary may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which consists solely of real property in any manner then permitted by applicable law. In its discretion, Beneficiary may also or alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the Property, in any combination consisting of both real and personal property, together in one sale to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property. Trustor agrees that any sale of personal property together with real property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the personal property. For purposes of this power of sale, either a sale of real property alone, or a sale of both real and personal property together in accordance with law, will sometimes be referred to as a "Trustee's Sale." (B) Before any Trustee's Sale, Beneficiary or Trustee shall give and record such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Trustee shall sell the property being sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to make demand on Trustor before any Trustee's Sale. From time to time, in accordance with then applicable law, Trustee may, and in any event at Beneficiary's request shall, postpone any Trustee's sale by public announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. (C) At any Trustee's Sale, Trustee shall sell to the highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of the United States. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the property being sold without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied. The recitals in any such deed of any matters or facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or validity of any Trustee's Sale, shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive against all persons as to the facts recited in it. (h) Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property at the time of sale or other disposition consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Beneficiary may: (i) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and (ii) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels or items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held or made under the power of sale herein granted, or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner that Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests (any such sale or disposition, a "Foreclosure Sale;" any two or more, "Foreclosure Sales"). If Beneficiary chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Beneficiary at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at such different times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full. 35. Costs of Enforcement. If an installment of principal or interest on the Notes is not paid when due or if any other Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary and Trustee, and each of them, may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect their rights hereunder. Trustor promises to pay to Beneficiary, on demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of such attorneys and all other costs of enforcing the obligations secured hereby, including but not limited to, recording fees, the expense of a Trustee's Sale Guarantee, Trustee's fees and expenses, receivers' fees and expenses, and all other expenses, of whatever kind or nature, incurred by Beneficiary and Trustee, and each of them, in connection with the enforcement of the obligations secured hereby, whether or not such enforcement includes the filing of a lawsuit. Until paid, such sums shall be secured hereby and shall bear interest, from date of expenditure, at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate. 36. Remedies Cumulative and Not Exclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed of Trust or under any Loan Document or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the said indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Trustee's or Beneficiary's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce this Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee in such order and manner as they or either of them may in their absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue inconsistent remedies. 37. Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle therefor by crediting such portion of the following obligations against the sales price of the property as is necessary to equal such price: (a) First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and (b) Second, any of the other Secured Obligations, in any order and proportion as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect. 38. Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary and Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner: (a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (b) Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Beneficiary or Trustee under the terms of this Deed of Trust which then remain unpaid; (c) Third, to pay any and all other Secured Obligations, in any order and proportion as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect; and (d) Fourth, the remainder, if any, shall be remitted to the person or persons entitled to it. 39. Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums, other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale, which Beneficiary may receive or collect, in the following manner: (a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Trustee, Beneficiary or any receiver; (b) Second, to pay any and all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportion as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect; and (c) Third, the remainder, if any, shall be remitted to the person or persons entitled to it. Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive. 40. Incorporation of Certain Nevada Covenants. The following covenants, Nos. 1, 3, 4 (at the Agreed Rate), 6, 7 (reasonable percentage), 8 and 9 of NRS 107.030, where not in conflict with the provisions of the Loan Documents, are hereby adopted and made a part of this Deed of Trust. Upon any Event of Default by Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary may (a) declare all sums secured immediately due and payable without demand or notice or (b) have a receiver appointed as a matter of right without regard to the sufficiency of said property or any other security or guaranty and without any showing as required by NRS 107.100. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or afforded by law or equity and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively. The sale of said property conducted pursuant to Covenants Nos. 6, 7 and 8 of NRS 107.030 may be conducted either as to the whole of said property or in separate parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine. 41. Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary or assigns may, from time to time, by a written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, recorded in the county in which the Real Property is located and otherwise complying with applicable law, appoint a successor trustee or trustees to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, to execute the trust created by the Deed of Trust or other conveyance in trust. Upon the recording of such instrument, the new trustee or trustees shall, without conveyance from the predecessor trustee, be vested with all the title, estate, interest, rights, powers, duties and trusts in the premises vested in or conferred upon the predecessor trustee. If there be more than one trustee, either may act alone and execute the trusts upon the request of the Beneficiary, and all his acts thereunder shall be deemed to be the acts of all trustees, and the recital in any conveyance executed by such sole trustee of such request shall be conclusive evidence thereof, and of the authority of such sole trustee to act. 42. Binding Nature. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of and binds Trustor and the heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, personal representatives, executors and the successors and assigns thereof, Trustee and Beneficiary. As used herein, the term "Beneficiary" shall include the owners and holders of the Notes and other Secured Obligations from time to time, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein (it being expressly agreed, however, that Beneficiary may act through an agent; that only the signature of such agent is required on any amendment hereof or any consent, approval or other action hereunder; and that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., is the initial such agent hereunder); the term "Trustee" shall mean the trustee appointed hereunder from time to time, whether or not notice of such appointment is given; and the term "Trustor" shall mean the Trustor named herein and the successors-in-interest, if any, of said named Trustor, in and to the Property or any part thereof. If there be more than one Trustor hereunder, their obligations hereunder shall be joint and several. It is expressly agreed that the Trust created hereby is irrevocable by Trustor. 43. Acceptance of Trust; Resignation by Trustee. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law, reserving, however, unto the Trustee, the right to resign from the duties and obligations imposed herein whenever Trustee, in its sole discretion, deems such resignation to be in the best interest of the Trustee. Written notice of such resignation shall be given to Trustor and Beneficiary. 44. Full Performance Required; Survival of Warranties. All representations, warranties and covenants of Trustor contained in any loan application or made to Beneficiary in connection with the loan secured hereby or contained in any of the Loan Documents or incorporated by reference therein, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and shall re- main continuing obligations, warranties and representations of Trustor so long as any portion of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust remains outstanding. 45. Waiver of Certain Rights By Trustor. Trustor waives, to the extent permitted by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Property, (ii) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created, and (iii) all rights and remedies which Trustor may have or be able to assert by reason of the laws of the State of Nevada pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights (including any rights provided by NRS 100.040 and 100.050) to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Property or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for the indebtedness secured hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or of any other security for any of such indebtedness. 46. Construction. The language in all parts of this Deed of Trust shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Headings at the beginning of Sections, Subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Deed of Trust are solely for the convenience of the parties, are not a part hereof and shall not be used in construing this Deed of Trust. The preamble, any recitals and all exhibits and schedules to this Deed of Trust are part of this Deed of Trust and are incorporated herein by this reference. When required by the context: whenever the singular number is used in this Deed of Trust, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular; and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa. Unless otherwise required by the context (or otherwise provided herein): the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and similar words shall refer to this Deed of Trust generally and not merely to the provision in which such term is used; the word "person" shall include individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business trust, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated association, joint venture, governmental authority and other entity of whatever nature; the words "including", "include" or "includes" shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words "but [is] not limited to" or "but without limiting the generality of the foregoing" or "without limitation" immediately followed the same; the word "month" shall mean calendar month; and the term "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Nevada.
