Limitation of Lender's Obligations. Nothing in this Assignment shall constitute an assumption of any obligation by Lender under the Contracts and Documents. The Company shall continue to be liable for all obligations thereunder and hereby agrees to perform all such obligations, to comply with all terms and conditions of the Contracts and Documents, and to take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to secure performance by all other parties thereto.

Cure by Lender. At any time upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to take all actions that Lender may determine to be necessary or appropriate to cure any breach or default under any of the Contracts and Documents and to protect the rights of the Company or Lender thereunder, and may do so in Lender's name, in the name of the Company or otherwise.

Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, irrespective of whether a notice of default has been given with respect to such Event of Default (unless required by the Subordinated Loan Agreement), and with or without bringing any action or proceeding, Lender may, at its option, succeed to and proceed to enforce all of the rights, interests and remedies of the Company under the Contracts and Documents, amend, modify, cancel, terminate or replace the same, reassign the Company's right, title and interest therein to any other person, and exercise any and all other rights of the Company under the Contracts and Documents, either in person or through an agent, receiver or keeper, without further notice to or consent by the Company, and without regard to the adequacy of security for the Obligations or the availability of any other remedies. The exercise of any of the foregoing rights or remedies shall not cure or waive any Default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or waive, modify or affect any notice of default thereunder, or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. In addition to the rights and remedies of Lender as set forth in this Hyatt Gaming Collateral Assignment, Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of all other rights and remedies set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Document, at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as its attorney-in-fact to demand, receive and enforce the Company's rights with respect to the Contracts and Documents, to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of the Company, and to do any and all acts in the name of the Company with the same force and effect as the Company could do if this Assignment had not been made. Such appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest until payment in full and complete performance of all the Obligations. Lender may appoint a substitute attorney-in-fact. The Company ratifies all actions taken by the attorney-in-fact but, nevertheless, if Lender requests, the Company will specifically ratify any action taken by the attorney-in-fact by executing and delivering to the attorney-in-fact or to any entity designated by the attorney-in-fact all documents necessary to effect such ratification. 8. Additional Instruments. With respect to both existing and future Contracts and Documents, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver, at its sole cost and expense, such additional assignments and other documents as Lender may reasonably request in order to implement the provisions of this Assignment. 9. Gaming Laws and Regulations.

The parties hereto further acknowledge that the Gaming License held by the Company is not part of the collateral of this Assignment and that, under the above described legislation and rules promulgated thereunder, Lender may be precluded from or otherwise 5 limited in taking possession of or in selling the collateral of this Assignment under the rights and remedies provisions of this Hyatt Gaming Collateral Assignment and the other Transaction Documents. The parties hereto also acknowledge that due to various legal restrictions, including, without limitation, licensing of operators of gaming facilities and prior approval of the sale or disposition of assets of a licensed gaming operation, the sale of collateral may be denied by Gaming Authorities or delayed pending approval of Gaming Authorities. 10.

Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Assignment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. This Assignment shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any third party. 13. No Waiver. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 14. Termination and Release. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations) of the Company under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Subordinated Note, this Hyatt Gaming Collateral Assignment, the other Collateral Documents and any other document or other agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, or upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, Lender shall, at the request of the Company, deliver a certificate to the Debtor stating that such Obligations have been paid in full, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination Lender shall, at the Company's cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Company such termination statements and such other documents as the Company shall reasonably request to effect or evidence the termination and release of such security interest in Collateral. For the purposes hereof, the term "Unmatured Surviving Obligation" means, as of any date, an Obligation which is contingent and unliquidated and not due and owing on such date and which, pursuant to provisions of the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Subordinated Note, this Hyatt Gaming Collateral Agreement, the other Collateral Documents and any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, survives termination of such documents or agreements and the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Notes. 15. Waiver of Trial By Jury.

Contracting Party's Records. At Lender's request, the Contracting Party shall promptly submit to Lender such payroll vouchers, receipts, lien releases and waivers, progress surveys, inspection reports and other documents and papers relating to construction of the Project as Lender may require to protect the priority of the Hyatt Gaming Deed of Trust in favor of Lender on the real property constituting the Project or to verify compliance with the provisions of this Consent and the Disbursement Agreement. 10.
