NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
UNAUDITED
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Dunes Hotels and Casinos Inc. (the Company)
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Continental California
Corporation (Continental), Dunes, Inc., Dunes Hotel and
Casino of Atlantic City, Inc. (DAC), M & R Corporation
(MRC) and MRC's subsidiary M & R Investment Company, Inc.
(MRI) and MRI's subsidiaries SHF Acquisition Corporation
(SHF) and Southlake Acquisition Corporation (Southlake).
The Company has been advised by the State of New Jersey,
Department of State, Division of Commercial Recording that
neither Dunes, Inc. nor DAC filed reports required by state
statute for two consecutive years. As a result, as of
February 8, 1995, the State of New Jersey revoked the
active status of Dunes, Inc. and DAC, which can result in
denial of their privilege of doing business under their
respective current names. The Company has no current plans
to resume operations or pursue business opportunities in
New Jersey and does not intend to contest the action.
The Company did not consolidate Pine Ridge Joint Venture
(PRJV), a joint venture in which the Company has a 51%
interest at September 30, 1995, because the Company intends
to liquidate its interest in 1995. PRJV is accounted for
on the equity method.
Growing crop inventory consists of costs associated with
table grapes, being grown by the Company, at El Dorado
Vineyards. The inventory is stated at cost which is not in
excess of market. Cattle inventory consists of the cost of
cattle held in a feed lot for future sale. The cattle
inventory is stated at cost which is not in excess of
market.
By the terms of the original settlement agreement, entered
into in 1988, with San Antonio Savings Association (SASA
Obligation), MRI is prohibited from paying dividends to MRC
which, in turn, is prohibited from paying dividends to the
Company. However, see Note 8 below and "Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Material Changes in Financial
Condition" regarding a new settlement agreement (defined
below as the 1995 Settlement Agreement) which, when
effective, will supersede the SASA Obligation.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
Certain amounts in the Company's Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements of Loss for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, have been reclassified to
conform to the 1995 presentation. Such reclassifications
had no effect on the results of operations.
The nature of the Company's operations is such that
estimates must be used in the preparation of unaudited
interim financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, which consisted of normal
recurring entries, which are necessary to a fair statement
of the results for the interim periods have been made. All
intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
2. Bankruptcy Proceeding:
Continental owns four parcels of unimproved land located
northwest of the city of San Diego, California.
Continental's land is encumbered by a Deed of Trust in
favor of The Resolution Trust Corporation, solely in its
capacity as Receiver for San Antonio Savings Association,
F. A. (the RTC).
As previously reported, to avert a trustee's sale of
Continental's land scheduled by the RTC for May 19, 1995,
Continental filed a Petition for Relief Under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code on May 18, 1995. The
Petition for Relief was filed in the United States District
Court, District of Nevada, Case No. 95-21992 LBR.
On July 13, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court transferred
Continental's Bankruptcy Case to The United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California.
Continental's bankruptcy case was received by the United
States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of California on
July 27, 1995 and was assigned Case No. 95-07973-A11. A
hearing was held in the San Diego Bankruptcy Court on
November 9, 1995, at which time the Continental bankruptcy
case was dismissed. The dismissal is subject to a 10 day
appeal period. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements regarding a proposed
settlement between the RTC and the Company.
3. Description of business:
The Company is engaged principally in real estate investment
and lending activities and with respect to certain
properties, limited agricultural and certain development
operations, the most significant of which has been retail
land sales. The Company considers its business to be
comprised of one segment, the acquisition and development
and sale of real estate.
4. Related party transactions:
a. John B. Anderson (Anderson), the Company's controlling
stockholder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Company and entities owned or controlled by him
(Anderson Entities) own approximately 68.5% of the
Company's common stock as of November 10, 1995 (See
Note 12 - Stock ownership).
b. From time to time the Company has made loans to various
Anderson Entities and to Directors and Executive
Officers of the Company, details of which are more
fully described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1994.
c. During 1990 and 1991, the Company, through certain of
its subsidiaries, made loans to Rancho Murieta
Properties, Inc. (RMPI) and to CBC Builders, Inc. (CBC)
each of which are Anderson Entities located in Rancho
Murieta, California, details of which are more fully
described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994. See "Item 1. Business - Other
Activities - Certain Loans - Rancho Murieta Properties,
Inc./CBC Builders, Inc." In connection with a
settlement agreement (the Agreement) between RMPI, the
Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers and Rancho
Murieta Country Club, the Agreement provided for a
payment in satisfaction of certain of the obligations
that have been pledged to SHF and MRI. Pursuant to the
terms of an Inter-Creditor Agreement entered into
between SHF, MRI and RMPI's and CBC's legal counsel,
MRI and SHF received, on July 7, 1995, $345,337 of the
final settlement payment. The Company does not believe
that it will collect anything further on the RMPI and
CBC notes. The balance of the amounts due from RMPI
and CBC have been fully reserved as of September 30,
1995.
4. Related party transactions (continued):
d. Baby Grand Corp. (BGC), an Anderson Entity, was
indebted to the Company in the approximate amount of
$2,830,000, including accrued interest of $307,200 as
of September 30, 1995. The BGC indebtedness is more
fully described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1994. See "Item 1. Business - Other
Activities - Certain Loans - Baby Grand Corp." On
September 27, 1995, the Company received notice that
West Coast Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (WCMH), the holder
of the first trust deed indebtedness on BGC's primary
asset, sent to BGC a Notice of Breach of Covenant and
Event of Default (the Notice) arising out of the
stipulated appointment of a receiver for Mr. Anderson's
assets. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements. WCMH alleges that the
appointment of a receiver constitutes an event of
default under the WCMH loan. An event of a default
under the WCMH loan is an event of default under the
loan to BGC by MRI. The Notice could have a
detrimental impact on BGC which in turn would have a
detrimental impact on MRI in that MRI may be unable to
collect amounts owing to it by BGC. The Company
believes that under Nevada law, if WCMH intends to
exercise its default remedies against BGC, WCMH must
cause to be recorded a statutorily required notice of
breach which will then commence a statutorily mandated
time period of in excess of three months before a non-
judicial trustee sale of BGC's primary asset can occur.
The Company has not been notified that WCMH has
recorded any statutorily required notice. Other
remedies may also be available to WCMH. If WCMH
commences such steps, the Company intends to take such
actions as are necessary to protect its interests and
preserve its collateral for the BGC indebtedness. The
Company is unable to predict what the outcome of the
Notice will be.
e. The loan from the Company to El Dorado Vineyards, Inc.,
an entity wholly-owned by Andrew Marincovich, a member
of the Company's Board of Directors and Chairman of the
Company's Audit Committee, is described in detail in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994. See "Item 1. Business - Other Activities -
Certain Loans - Directors."
4. Related party transactions (continued):
e. (continued)
On June 30, 1995, the Company, on behalf of Mr.
Marincovich, paid the interest payment that was due on
the El Dorado Vineyard loan. The Company is in the
process of assisting Mr. Marincovich in renegotiating
the loan on the El Dorado Vineyard property.
The lender has indicated its willingness to extend the
loan for an additional five year period at an interest
rate of 8.8%. As consideration for extending the loan,
the lender will require an immediate principal
reduction of $75,000, a principal payment of $75,000 on
January 1, 1996, and thereafter, principal payments in
the amount of $50,000 semi-annually, beginning July 1,
1996. The entire outstanding principal balance on the
note, plus accrued interest thereon, will be due and
payable on July 1, 2000. Although the Company would
not be a party to the loan, it is expected that the
Company would have to make the payments on the loan, on
behalf of Mr. Marincovich, in order to recover some or
all of the money that has been loaned to El Dorado
Vineyards, Inc. by the Company. Mr. Marincovich had
previously executed a "Durable Special Power of
Attorney" appointing James H. Dale, President of MRI,
to lease, sell, mortgage, and/or transfer the El Dorado
Vineyard Property.
In connection with the operations of El Dorado
Vineyards, the Company has obtained financing for the
picking, packing and selling of the El Dorado Vineyard
crop. Based on production and sales reports, the
Company believes it will recover its costs incurred in
growing the crop.
5. Investments:
a. The Company's investment in PRJV is described in detail
in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994, "Item 1. - Business - Real Estate and Related
Activities - AJD Joint Venture."
5. Investments (continued):

b. During August 1995, the Company, along with an
unrelated third party, formed a California Limited
Liability Company known as Steadfast Cattle Company,
LLC (Steadfast). Steadfast was organized to conduct a
cattle feeding operation in Gonzales, California. The
Company owns a 50% interest in Steadfast. The Company
agreed to contribute up to $200,000 for its interest of
which $114,070 has been contributed as of November 2,
1995.
c. During August 1995, the Company purchased 180 head of
cattle for $60,580. The Company intends to feed the
cattle. Once the desired weight gain is achieved the
Company will sell the cattle. The cost of feeding the
cattle is paid to Steadfast by the Company.
6. Real Estate Held for Investment and Sale:
Included in Real Estate Held for Investment and Sale are 53
single family residential lots located in the city of North
Las Vegas. The Company acquired the lots through a
foreclosure sale, by bidding in indebtedness owed to one of
its subsidiaries. The lots were previously owned by PRJV.
7. Drying facility:
On March 1, 1995, the Company signed a two year lease with
the new owner of the drying facility located in Davis,
California. Annual rental is $54,000. The Company will
pay to California Dehydrating Company (Cal Dehy), an
Anderson Entity, $25,000, payable $5,000 monthly, through
December 31, 1995, for use of the Cal Dehy name.
8. San Antonio Savings Association (SASA)/Resolution Trust
Corporation (RTC):
On October 24, 1995, and October 27, 1995, the RTC and the
Company, respectively, signed a Settlement, Release and
Loan Modification Agreement (the 1995 Settlement Agreement)
between the Resolution Trust Corporation, solely in its
capacity as Receiver for San Antonio Savings Association,
F.A., the Company, and the Company's subsidiaries
Continental, MRI, and SHF (all of the foregoing are
sometimes referred to as "The Parties").
The Parties entered into the 1995 Settlement Agreement to
modify the obligations of the Company under the SASA
Obligation, restructure the obligations, and refinance and
extend further credit to the Company in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the 1995 Settlement
Agreement, which terms and conditions are intended to
entirely supersede and replace the terms of the SASA
Obligation. The SASA Obligation is more fully described in
the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"
and in the Company's reports on Form 8-K dated February 2,
1995, April 3, 1995, April 26, 1995 and May 18, 1995.
8. San Antonio Savings Association (SASA)/Resolution Trust
Corporation (RTC) (continued):
The 1995 Settlement Agreement required the Company to
deposit, with an escrow company, $290,000 upon signing the
Agreement which deposit was made on October 24, 1995. On
the pre-closing date, November 8, 1995, Continental
delivered to the escrow company a grant deed in lieu of
foreclosure which, when executed and recorded, will
transfer to the RTC fee title to certain real property
located in San Diego County, California owned by
Continental. The transfer of the San Diego property is
subject to Continental having its bankruptcy case
dismissed. A hearing on this matter was held on November
9, 1995, at which time the Continental Bankruptcy Case was
dismissed. The dismissal is subject to a 10 day appeal
period. On the closing date, which is expected to occur on
November 20, 1995, but no later than November 30, 1995, the
Company will deliver to the RTC its promissory note (the
Note) in the amount of $2,710,000 which will be in full
settlement of the remaining balance owed to the RTC by the
Company pursuant to the SASA Obligation. The Note will
bear interest at the rate of prime plus 1%. Interest will
be payable monthly and all principal will be due five years
from the date of the Note. The Note will be collateralized
by a collateral assignment, pledge and security agreement
pursuant to which SHF shall collaterally assign to the RTC
certain purchase money promissory notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $725,520, which notes are secured by
first deeds of trust on certain lots in The Fairways; a
deed of trust encumbering seventy-four developed lots
located at The Fairways (The Fairways Deed of Trust) and a
deed of trust encumbering fifty-three partially developed
lots in Las Vegas, Nevada (The Nevada Deed of Trust). The
Fairways Deed of Trust provides for a partial release of a
parcel upon the payment to the RTC of $40,000 for each
parcel to be released. The Nevada Deed of Trust provides
for a partial release of a parcel upon the payment to the
RTC of $6,000 for each parcel to be released.
The 1995 Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the final
dismissal of the Continental Bankruptcy Case which is
expected to occur on November 20, 1995.
9. Contingencies:
a. The Company is involved in various legal proceedings
which are considered to be ordinary routine
litigation incident to its business. The Company
believes that the impact, if any, will not materially
affect the Company's operating results or consolidated
financial position.
9. Contingencies (continued):
b. The Company's general liability insurance carrier for
the period August 1982 to November 1983 is in
receivership. The Company's general liability
insurance carrier for the period August 1979 to August
1982 is also in receivership. Insurance coverage for
certain claims pending against the Company are
dependent upon the financial condition of these
insurance companies. Several claims are pending
against the Company for which the Company claims
coverage under policies issued to it by these two
carriers. The potential liability to the Company
cannot be determined. However, the Nevada Insurance
Guaranty Association provides coverage to the Company
similar to that provided under policies by these
general liability carriers subject to certain
limitations, including a limitation of $300,000 for
each covered claim, as set forth in the Nevada
Insurance Guaranty Association Act. The Company
believes that final resolution will not materially
affect its consolidated financial position or operating
results.
c. SHF was advised of possible contamination on two sites
at Hamburg Farms, a storage facility for diesel fuels
and an old airstrip which had been used for the loading
and fueling of aircraft applying agricultural chemicals
to the surrounding farm lands. The Company has
completed the cleanup relating to the diesel storage
tanks at a cost of approximately $100,000. Clean up of
the airstrip has required major excavation of
contaminated earth and the treatment and disposal
thereof.
The Company has disposed of a large amount of the
contaminated earth at an approved site for the storage
of toxic wastes. However, 4,000 cubic yards of
contaminated earth still remain to be disposed of. The
Company, through its chemical and toxic clean-up
consultant, has been working with the California State
Environmental Protection Agency, in seeking alternate
means to the disposal in toxic dump sites of chemical
and toxics-laden soil. The State has participated in
the funding of several projects by a number of chemical
treatment firms in efforts to try other detoxification
methods on the soil.
9. Contingencies (continued):
c. (continued)
Because of the ongoing testing, the State has not
imposed a disposal date upon the Company. Cost of
disposal is estimated at $100 per cubic yard. The
Company is unable to predict when the ongoing testing
will be complete or what the outcome of these tests
will be. As of September 30, 1995, the Company has
paid $446,000 and accrued $62,000 relating to the clean
up, including the $100,000 expended for the diesel
storage tank. The Company has not made an accrual for
the cost, if any, of removing the contaminated earth
pending the results of the various ongoing tests.
d. The Company has received a notice from the State of
California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) wherein the FTB
alleges that one of the Company's subsidiaries owes
California franchise tax, penalties and interest of
approximately $500,000. The FTB claims that the
Company is not permitted to file a unitary tax return
in California. The Company has retained legal counsel
to resolve the matter with the FTB. The matter is
currently being appealed to the California State Board
of Equalization.
e. In connection with a loan to El Dorado Vineyards, Inc.,
a company wholly-owned by Andrew Marincovich, a member
of the Company's Board of Directors and member of the
Company's Audit Committee, the Company is currently
evaluating whether the loan transaction adversely
impacts Mr. Marincovich's independence as a Director
serving on the Audit Committee. If Mr. Marincovich
were found not to be independent, the Company may not
be in compliance with the Consent Decree issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This matter is
still ongoing and therefore the Company is unable to
predict what the outcome will be.
10. Earnings per share:
Earnings per common share has been computed using the
weighed number of common shares outstanding as of September
30, 1995. Dividends on non-convertible preferred stock
Series B have been deducted from income or added to the
loss applicable to common shares. Dividends accrued on
preferred shares, in arrears since the second quarter 1982,
amount to $1,010,000 as of September 30, 1995.
11. Shareholders' equity:
On August 23, 1995, pursuant to an earlier agreement, the
Company purchased 85,000 shares of its common stock at $2
per share from the bankruptcy estates of Morris A. Shenker
and IJK Nevada, Inc. (the Bankruptcy Estates). The Company
has no further obligation to the Bankruptcy Estates to
purchase any additional common stock of the Company that
they may own. The acquired common stock is included in
treasury stock in the accompanying financial statements.
12. Stock ownership:
As more fully discussed in the Company's Report on Form 8-K
dated September 12, 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the FDIC) initiated an action against John B.
Anderson, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and certain
entities owned or controlled by Mr. Anderson. On the same
day, the United States District Court for the District of
Nevada entered its Order Appointing Receiver and Granting
Injunctive Relief (the Order). The Order stayed certain
powers granted to the receiver, but allows the receiver to
review the assets, observe the operations, and inspect
certain books and records, including the Company's,
relating to the assets of Mr. Anderson and the entities
owned or controlled by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson, through
direct or indirect control of JBA Investments, Inc., Baby
Grand Corp., and CBC Builders, Inc., beneficially owns
approximately 68.5% of the Company's common stock. Mr.
Anderson pledged approximately 3,000,000 shares, or 47%, of
the Company's common stock as collateral for his obligation
to the FDIC.
Pursuant to the Order, Mr. Anderson, and the entities owned
or controlled by him, were allowed a 60 day period from the
date of entry of the Order, unless extended by written
agreement, to attempt to negotiate a settlement for the
resolution of the FDIC claims. If a written settlement
agreement is reached, Mr. Anderson and the entities owned
or controlled by him, will have an additional 60 days from
the date of execution of the settlement agreement, unless
extended by written agreement, to perform under the
settlement agreement. The Company has been advised that
Mr. Anderson and the FDIC agreed to an extension of the
initial 60 day negotiation period to January 12, 1996,
which extension was submitted to the Nevada Federal Court,
for which approval is expected.
12. Stock ownership (continued):
If Mr. Anderson is unable to reach a settlement agreement,
or is unable to perform thereunder, a change in control of
the Company will result. A change in control could have a
material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company is unable to predict whether Mr. Anderson will
be able to reach a settlement agreement or if a settlement
agreement is reached, whether Mr. Anderson will be able to
perform thereunder.
DUNES HOTELS AND CASINOS INC.
QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION. As of September
30, 1995, the Company had a deficit working capital of
$10,991,000 as compared to a deficit working capital of
$9,702,000 as of December 31, 1994. During the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$274,000 from $874,000 at December 31, 1994 to $600,000 at
September 30, 1995. The most significant sources of cash were
provided by operations ($1,253,000). The most significant uses
of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were the
purchase of the Solano County Option ($1,043,00), the acquisition
of the 53 residential lots in North Las Vegas ($427,000), the
purchase of 85,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at $2.00
per share, from the Bankruptcy Estates of Morris A. Shenker and
IJK Nevada, Inc. ($170,000), and the Company's investment in
Steadfast Cattle Company, LLC (Steadfast).
The principal demands on the Company's liquidity continue to
be to fund, when resolved, the obligation owing to The Resolution
Trust Corporation, solely in its capacity as Receiver for San
Antonio Savings Association, F.A. (the RTC) and legal fees
related to the litigation arising thereunder; to fund ongoing
expenses at The Fairways, a subdivision of estate lots in Rancho
Murieta, California, developed and being sold by the Company; to
fund the costs of operations of Pine Ridge Joint Venture (PRJV);
to fund the costs of farming at El Dorado Vineyards; to fund any
payments that may be required by the first lien holder on the El
Dorado Vineyard property; to fund the cattle feeding operation;
and to fund general and administrative expenses.
The Company believes that the sources of required liquidity
will be cash generated from the storage and drying facility in
Davis, California; operation of El Dorado Vineyards; anticipated
lot sales at The Fairways; sale of the El Dorado Vineyards land;
collections on the Baby Grand Corp. Note; the recovery of a
portion of its investment in PRJV; and the successful operations
of Steadfast. Based on known commitments and subject to the
anticipated resolution of the SASA Obligation as described in
more detail below, the Company believes that the sources of cash
described above will be adequate to fund known liquidity
requirements. The occurrence of any other presently unknown
material adverse event could hinder the Company's ability to
generate sufficient cash to meet its actual liquidity
requirements. In addition, the Company cannot presently predict
the impact on the Company should the receiver appointed at the
request of the FDIC for Mr. Anderson's assets, including the
controlling voting stock of the Company, receive full control of
such assets. Depending on the magnitude, timing and related
circumstances of any such foregoing events, the Company may be
required to liquidate certain or substantially all of its assets
or to take other steps to respond to cash demands and preserve
the Company's assets and operations.
On October 24, 1995, and October 27, 1995, the Resolution
Trust Corporation, acting solely in its capacity as receiver for
San Antonio Savings Association, F.A., and the Company signed a
Settlement, Release and Loan Modification Agreement (the 1995
Settlement Agreement) between the RTC, the Company, and the
Company's subsidiaries Continental, M & R Investment Company,
Inc., and SHF Acquisition Corporation (SHF) (all of the foregoing
are sometimes referred to as "The Parties").
The Parties entered into the 1995 Settlement Agreement to
modify the obligations of the Company under the SASA Obligation,
restructure the obligations, and refinance and extend further
credit to the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in the 1995 Settlement Agreement, which terms and
conditions are intended to entirely supersede and replace the
terms of the SASA Obligation.
The 1995 Settlement Agreement required the Company to
deposit, with an escrow company, $290,000 upon signing the
Agreement which deposit was made on October 24, 1995. On the
pre-closing date, November 8, 1995, Continental delivered to the
escrow company a grant deed in lieu of foreclosure which, when
executed and recorded, will transfer to the RTC fee title to
certain real property located in San Diego County, California
owned by Continental. The transfer of the San Diego property is
subject to Continental having its bankruptcy case dismissed. A
hearing on this matter was held on November 9, 1995, at which
time the Continental Bankruptcy Case was dismissed. The
dismissal is subject to a 10 day appeal period. On the closing
date, which is expected to occur on November 20, 1995, but no
later than November 30, 1995, the Company will deliver to the RTC
its promissory note (the Note) in the amount of $2,710,000 which
will be in full settlement of the remaining balance owed to the
RTC by the Company pursuant to the SASA Obligation. The Note
will bear interest at the rate of prime plus 1%. Interest will
be payable monthly and all principal will be due five years from
the date of the Note. The Note will be collateralized by a
collateral assignment, pledge and security agreement pursuant to
which SHF shall collaterally assign to the RTC certain purchase
money promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$725,520, which notes are secured by first deeds of trust on
certain lots in The Fairways; a deed of trust encumbering
seventy-four developed lots located at The Fairways (The Fairways
Deed of Trust) and a deed of trust encumbering fifty-three
partially developed lots in Las Vegas, Nevada (The Nevada Deed of
Trust). The Fairways Deed of Trust provides for a partial
release of a parcel upon the payment to the RTC of $40,000 for
each parcel to be released. The Nevada Deed of Trust provides
for a partial release of a parcel upon the payment to the RTC of
$6,000 for each parcel to be released.
The 1995 Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the final
dismissal of the Continental Bankruptcy Case which is expected to
occur on November 20, 1995.
On June 30, 1995, the Company paid the interest payment that
was due on the El Dorado Vineyard loan. The Company is in the
process of assisting Mr. Marincovich in renegotiating the loan on
the El Dorado Vineyard property.
The lender has indicated its willingness to extend the loan
for an additional five year period at an interest rate of 8.8%.
As consideration for extending the loan, the lender will require
an immediate principal reduction of $75,000, a principal payment
of $75,000 on January 1, 1996, and thereafter, principal payments
in the amount of $50,000 semi-annually, beginning July 1, 1996.
The entire outstanding principal balance on the note, plus
accrued interest thereon, will be due and payable on July 1,
2000. Although the Company would not be a party to the loan, it
is expected that the Company would have to make the payments on
the loan, on behalf of Mr. Marincovich, in order to recover some
or all of the money that has been loaned to El Dorado Vineyards,
Inc. by the Company. Mr. Marincovich had previously executed a
"Durable Special Power of Attorney" appointing James H. Dale,
President of MRI, to lease, sell, mortgage, and/or transfer the
El Dorado Vineyard Property.
In connection with the operations of El Dorado Vineyards,
the Company has obtained financing for the picking, packing and
selling of the El Dorado Vineyard crop. Based on production and
sales reports, the Company believes it will recover its costs
incurred in growing the crop.
As more fully discussed in the Company's Report on Form 8-K
dated September 12, 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the FDIC) initiated an action against John B.
Anderson, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and certain
entities owned or controlled by Mr. Anderson. On the same day,
the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
entered its Order Appointing Receiver and Granting Injunctive
Relief (the Order). The Order stayed certain powers granted to
the receiver, but allows the receiver to review the assets,
observe the operations, and inspect certain books and records,
including the Company's, relating to the assets of Mr. Anderson
and the entities owned or controlled by Mr. Anderson. Mr.
Anderson, through direct or indirect control of JBA Investments,
Inc., Baby Grand Corp., and CBC Builders, Inc., beneficially owns
approximately 68.5% of the Company's common stock. Mr. Anderson
pledged approximately 3,000,000 shares, or 47%, of the Company's
common stock as collateral for his obligation to the FDIC.
Pursuant to the Order, Mr. Anderson, and the entities owned
or controlled by him, were allowed a 60 day period from the date
of entry of the Order, unless extended by written agreement, to
attempt to negotiate a settlement for the resolution of the FDIC
claims. If a written settlement agreement is reached, Mr.
Anderson and the entities owned or controlled by him, will have
an additional 60 days from the date of execution of the
settlement agreement, unless extended by written agreement, to
perform under the settlement agreement. The Company has been
advised that Mr. Anderson and the FDIC have agreed to an
additional 60 day extension in which to negotiate a settlement
for the resolution of the FDIC's claims.
If Mr. Anderson is unable to reach a settlement agreement,
or is unable to perform thereunder, a change in control of the
Company will result. A change in control could have a material
adverse impact on the Company.
The Company is unable to predict whether Mr. Anderson will
be able to reach a settlement agreement or if a settlement
agreement is reached, whether Mr. Anderson will be able to
perform thereunder.
On September 27, 1995, West Coast Mortgage Holdings, Inc.
(WCMH), the holder of the first trust deed indebtedness on BGC's
primary asset, sent to BGC a Notice of Breach of Covenant and
Event of Default (the Notice), arising out of the stipulated
appointment of a receiver for Mr. Anderson's assets. WCMH
alleges that the appointment of a receiver constitutes an event
of default under the WCMH loan. An event of default under the
WCMH loan is an event of default under the loan to BGC by M & R
Investment Company, Inc. (MRI). The Notice could have a
detrimental impact on MRI in that MRI may be unable to collect
amounts owing to it by BGC. The Company is unable to predict
what the outcome of the Notice will be.
In connection with its loan to Rancho Murieta Properties,
Inc. (RMPI) and CBC Builders, Inc. (CBC), SHF Acquisition
Corporation (SHF) entered into a settlement agreement between
RMPI, CBC, Rancho Murieta Country Club (RMCC) and the Pension
Trust Fund for Operating Engineers. The settlement agreement
confirmed SHF's right to receive payment of the settlement
proceeds which had been pledged to SHF and others. Under terms
of an Inter-Creditor Agreement between MRI, SHF and RMPI's and
CBC's legal counsel, SHF received $345,337 on July 7, 1995. The
Company does not believe that it will collect anything further on
the RMPI and CBC loans. The balance of the amounts due from RMPI
and CBC have been fully reserved as of September 30, 1995.
During August 1995, the Company, along with an unrelated
third party, formed a California Limited Liability Company known
as Steadfast Cattle Company, LLC (Steadfast). Steadfast was
organized to conduct a cattle feeding operation in Gonzales,
California. The Company owns a 50% interest in Steadfast. The
Company agreed to contribute up to $200,000 for its interest of
which $114,070 has been contributed as of November 2, 1995.
During August 1995, the Company purchased 180 head of cattle
for $60,580. The Company intends to feed the cattle. Once the
desired weight gain is achieved the Company will sell the cattle.
The cost of feeding the cattle is paid to Steadfast by the
Company.
The Company continues to have ongoing cash requirements,
which may be as much as $400,000 in the next twelve month period,
arising out of environmental cleanup costs at its Hamburg Farm
property. The Company has not made an accrual for the cost, if
any, of removing the contaminated earth pending the results of
the various ongoing tests.
Certain of the matters discussed above are more fully
described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1994. See "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, COMPARED WITH THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994. When compared with the
three months ended September 30, 1994, net loss for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, increased by $269,000. Sales of
real estate for the period decreased by approximately $150,000
due to minimal sales activity at The Fairways. The decrease in
rental income was due primarily to the sale of land at Hamburg
Farms. Storage and drying income decreased due to a late harvest
of the rice crop in Sacramento, California.
The increase in operating expenses was due in large part to
an increase in legal fees resulting from the RTC/SASA litigation.
The increases were partly offset by a reduction in bad debt
expense and farm expenses.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, COMPARED WITH THE NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994. When compared with the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, net loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, increased by $719,999. Sales of real
estate for the period increased by $885,000 due to an increase in
sales at The Fairways and the sale of land at Sam Hamburg Farms.
Rental income decreased due to the sale of land at Sam Hamburg
Farms. Storage and drying income decreased due to a late harvest
of the rice crop in Sacramento, California.
The increase in operating expenses was due in large part to
an increase in legal fees resulting from the RTC/SASA litigation.
The increase was partially offset by a decrease in farming
expense. The net loss was further increased by the Company's
share of losses incurred by the Pine Ridge Joint Venture.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDING
See "Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Material Changes
in Financial Condition" for a discussion of recent events with
SASA/RTC.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
Under the terms of the 1988 SASA Obligation, the Company's
second tier subsidiary, MRI, is prohibited from paying dividends
to MRC which in turn is prohibited from paying dividends to the
Company during the term of the settlement agreement with San
Antonio Savings Association. If the 1995 Settlement Agreement
becomes effective, this covenant will not apply.
ITEM 3. DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
Dividends in arrears. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
As more fully discussed in the Company's Report on Form 8-K
dated September 12, 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the FDIC) initiated an action against John B.
Anderson, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and certain
entities owned or controlled by Mr. Anderson. On the same day,
the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
entered its Order Appointing Receiver and Granting Injunctive
Relief (the Order). The Order stayed certain powers granted to
the receiver, but allows the receiver to review the assets,
observe the operations, and inspect certain books and records,
including the Company's, relating to the assets of Mr. Anderson
and the entities owned or controlled by Mr. Anderson. Mr.
Anderson, through direct or indirect control of JBA Investments,
Inc., Baby Grand Corp., and CBC Builders, Inc., beneficially owns
approximately 68.5% of the Company's common stock. Mr. Anderson
pledged approximately 3,000,000 shares, or 47%, of the Company's
common stock as collateral for his obligation to the FDIC.
Pursuant to the Order, Mr. Anderson, and the entities owned
or controlled by him, were allowed a 60 day period from the date
of entry of the Order, unless extended by written agreement, to
attempt to negotiate a settlement for the resolution of the FDIC
claims. If a written settlement agreement is reached, Mr.
Anderson and the entities owned or controlled by him, will have
an additional 60 days from the date of execution of the
settlement agreement, unless extended by written agreement, to
perform under the settlement agreement. The Company has been
advised that Mr. Anderson and the FDIC have agreed to an
additional 60 day extension in which to negotiate a settlement
for the resolution of the FDIC's claims.
If Mr. Anderson is unable to reach a settlement agreement,
or is unable to perform thereunder, a change in control of the
Company will result. A change in control could have a material
adverse impact on the Company.
The Company is unable to predict whether Mr. Anderson will
be able to reach a settlement agreement or if a settlement
agreement is reached, whether Mr. Anderson will be able to
perform thereunder.

SETTLEMENT, RELEASE AND LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS SETTLEMENT, RELEASE AND LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is entered into this ___ day of October, 1995, by
and among THE RESOLUTION TRUST CORPORATION, solely in its
capacity as Receiver for San Antonio Savings Association, F.A.
("RTC"), DUNES HOTELS AND CASINOS INC., a New York corporation
("Dunes"), CONTINENTAL CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("Continental"), M&R INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC., a
Nevada corporation ("MRI") and SHF ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a
Nevada corporation ("SHF").
RECITALS
A. On July 27, 1983, the Dunes Hotel and Casino of
Atlantic City Joint Venture ("Joint Venture") executed a note
("Joint Venture Note") in favor of San Antonio Savings
Association, a Texas Chartered Savings and Loan Association ("Old
SASA"), which Joint Venture Note was secured by a mortgage dated
July 27, 1984, encumbering certain New Jersey real property.
Dunes guaranteed payment of the Joint Venture Note to Old SASA by
written Guaranty dated July 27, 1983 ("Guaranty").
B. The Joint Venture defaulted on the Joint Venture Note
and, on August 9, 1985, filed a petition for relief under Chapter
11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of New Jersey.
C. On or about January 8, 1986, Old SASA sued Dunes on the
Guaranty. Judgment was entered in favor of Old SASA against
Dunes on or about May 26, 1988 ("New Jersey Judgment"). This
judgment was domesticated in Nevada state court in 1988 ("Nevada
Judgment").
D. Following entry of judgment, Old SASA entered into a
Settlement Agreement with Dunes and MRI dated June 28, 1988, as
amended by the First Amendment to Settlement Agreement dated
December 5, 1989 ("Dunes Settlement Agreement").
E. Pursuant to the terms of the Dunes Settlement
Agreement, Dunes agreed to secure its settlement obligations with
a deed of trust ("Continental Deed of Trust") encumbering certain
real property owned by Continental and located in San Diego
County, California, described more particularly in EXHIBIT A,
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("San Diego
Property"). The Continental Deed of Trust was executed by
Continental, as trustor, to Ticor Title Insurance Company of
California, as trustee, in favor of Old SASA, as beneficiary, and
recorded on December 14, 1989 as Instrument No. 89-676300 in the
Official Records of San Diego County, California.
F. On February 28, 1989, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
("FHLBB") determined that Old SASA was insolvent and appointed
the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") as
conservator for Old SASA on March 9, 1989. On July 12, 1989, the
FHLBB created a new federally-chartered savings and loan
association known as San Antonio Savings Association, F.A. ("New
SASA"), which was immediately placed into conservatorship with
the FSLIC as conservator.
G. By virtue of a Purchase and Assumption Agreement, New
SASA acquired all of the assets but only certain liabilities of
Old SASA, including tax claims, liabilities to depositors to the
extent of their deposits and liabilities to secured creditors to
the extent of the value of their security. New SASA was
subsequently placed into receivership by the FHLBB on March 1,
1990 and the FSLIC was appointed as receiver.
H. Two of the assets acquired by New SASA under the
Purchase and Assumption Agreement were the Joint Venture Note and
Dunes Settlement Agreement.
I. After the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") was enacted and the FSLIC was
abolished, the RTC was subsequently substituted as receiver for
New SASA and Old SASA.
J. On November 28, 1994, the RTC caused a Notice of
Default and Election to Sell Under Deed of Trust to be recorded
in San Diego, California ("Notice of Default"). The Notice of
Default commenced a non-judicial foreclosure by trustee's sale of
the Continental Deed of Trust. The Notice of Default states that
the unpaid principal balance under the Amended Settlement
Agreement is $15,110,063.71. A Notice of Trustee's Sale dated
April 19, 1995 was recorded by the RTC, with a sale date of May
18, 1995.
K. On February 2, 1995, Continental filed an action as
plaintiff in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of California against the RTC seeking, INTER ALIA, to
quiet title, for damages and injunctive relief to stop the RTC's
nonjudicial foreclosure of the San Diego Property (the
"California Action").
L. On April 3, 1995, the court denied Continental's motion
for a preliminary injunction to stop the RTC's nonjudicial
foreclosure of the San Diego Property on solely jurisdictional
grounds, citing 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(j), which prohibits injunctions
against the RTC when acting in its capacity as receiver.
M. On April 24, 1995, Continental filed a Notice of Appeal
of the order denying its motion for a preliminary injunction.
N. On May 18, 1995, Continental filed a chapter 11
proceeding in the United States District Court. This chapter 11
proceeding, captioned IN RE CONTINENTAL CALIFORNIA CORPORATION,
was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California as Case No. 95-07973-
LA11.
O. On June 9, 1995, Continental filed an adversary
proceeding entitled CONTINENTAL CALIFORNIA CORPORATION V.
RESOLUTION TRUST CORPORATION, United States Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of California, Adversary Proceeding No. 95-
90469-LA11.
P. On August 28, 1995, the court denied the RTC's motion
to dismiss the California Action. Trial is scheduled for March,
1996.
Q. On or about September 20, 1995, the court vacated the
Nevada Judgment on the ground that it had expired under Nevada
law.
R. All of the proceedings described in Recital C and
Recitals K through Q above, are hereinafter referred to as the
"Litigation."
S. The RTC contends that pursuant to the terms of the
Dunes Settlement Agreement, as of October 10, 1995, the sum of
Twenty-One Million One Hundred Seven Thousand Seven Hundred
Ninety-Five Dollars and Ninety-Four Cents ($21,107,795.94) was
owed to the RTC and that such sum, plus interest accruing thereon
from that date at the rate of Eleven Percent (11%) per annum, is
immediately fully due and payable. Dunes disputes this amount.
T. SHF is a wholly owned subsidiary of MRI. MRI is a
wholly owned subsidiary of M&R Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, which, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Dunes. SHF is the owner of the Nevada Property (as defined in
PARAGRAPH 2.4.3), the Sold Rancho Murieta Property and the Unsold
Rancho Murieta Property (as defined in PARAGRAPHS 2.4.1 AND
2.4.2), the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust (as defined in
PARAGRAPH 2.4.1).
U. The RTC, SHF, MRI, Continental and Dunes now desire to
enter into this Agreement to modify the obligations of Dunes
under the Dunes Settlement Agreement ("Obligations"), restructure
the Obligations, and refinance and extend further credit to Dunes
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, which terms and conditions are intended to entirely
supersede and replace the terms of the Dunes Settlement
Agreement. This Agreement will be of significant benefit to
Dunes and, thereby, to SHF and Continental by resolving the
Litigation and Continental's bankruptcy proceedings, some or all
of which are currently being funded by SHF. SHF has directed the
RTC to confer the benefits set forth in this Agreement on Dunes
and Continental within the meaning of California Civil Code
Section 1605. This Agreement will also be of significant benefit to
the RTC by resolving the Litigation and restructuring the
Obligations.
V. The RTC, SHF, MRI, Continental and Dunes further desire
to enter into this Agreement to fully and finally settle the
Litigation, the Nevada Judgment and the New Jersey Judgment. The
parties hereto expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is the
result of a compromise of disputed claims between and among the
parties, and nothing herein contained shall constitute an
admission of fault or liability. This compromise of disputed
claims is within the meaning of California Evidence Code Section 1152,
and neither this Agreement nor any of its terms shall be
admissible for or against any party in any other action or
proceeding for any purpose. This Recital V and Recital U are
recitals of consideration within the meaning of California Civil
Code Section 1614.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set
forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable
consideration, the RTC, Dunes, Continental, MRI and SHF agree as
follows:
1. RECITALS INCORPORATED INTO AGREEMENT. The parties
incorporate into this Agreement the recitals set forth above as
part of the terms of this Agreement. The recitals are "recitals"
within the meaning of California Evidence Code Section 622.
2. MODIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth in PARAGRAPH 4, the Dunes

Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($2,710,000.00).
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in PARAGRAPH 4, the RTC agrees to refinance the Obligations

Dunes for a period of five (5) years. The restructured
Obligations shall be evidenced by and on the terms and conditions
set forth in a negotiable promissory note substantially in the

Murieta Property granted by SHF to the RTC in the Rancho Murieta
Deed of Trust.
In the event any of the Unsold Rancho Murieta Property is
sold prior to the Pre-Closing Date on an all cash basis, SHF
agrees to deposit an additional Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000)

the Cash Payment, and the parties agree that the principal amount
of the Settlement Note shall consequently be reduced in the same

SETTLEMENT NOTE
SETTLEMENT NOTE
1. FUNDAMENTAL PROVISIONS. The following terms will be used as
defined terms in this Settlement Note ("Note"):
DATE OF THIS NOTE: ____________, 1995
MAKER: Dunes Hotels and Casinos Inc., a New York
corporation
PAYEE: Resolution Trust Corporation, as Receiver for San
Antonio Savings Association, F.A.
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: Two Million Seven Hundred Ten Thousand
Dollars ($2,710,000.00)
INTEREST ADJUSTMENT DATES: The dates which are six (6)
months and twelve (12) months, respectively, from the Date of
this Note and the same dates of each year thereafter until the
Maturity Date
INTEREST RATE: One percent (1%) per annum in excess of the
prime rate published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL, adjusted semi-
annually on the Interest Adjustment Dates; provided, however,
that under no circumstances shall the interest rate charged be
less than eight percent (8%) or more than twelve percent (12%)
per annum.
MATURITY DATE: _____________, 2000
2. PROMISE TO PAY. For good and valuable consideration, Maker
promises to pay to Payee, or order, the Principal Amount with
interest at the Interest Rate then in effect from the Date of
this Note in accordance with the terms contained herein.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed. Should any interest not be paid
when due, it shall thereafter accrue interest at the Interest
Rate.
3. PAYMENT SCHEDULE. Commencing on the date which is thirty
(30) days from the Date of this Note and on the same day of each
month thereafter until the Maturity Date ("Monthly Payment
Dates"), Maker shall pay installments of interest only ("Monthly
Payments"). The amount of each Monthly Payment for the first six
Monthly Payments shall be calculated on the Date of this Note
based on the Interest Rate then in effect and the outstanding
principal amount due on the Date of this Note. The amount of
each Monthly Payment for the next succeeding six months shall be
calculated on each Interest Adjustment Date contemporaneously
with the calculation of the Interest Rate adjustment. The
Monthly Payments shall remain constant during each six-month
period, notwithstanding the fact that if any prepayments of
principal are received during such period, the "interest only"
Monthly Payments shall actually be partially interest payments
and partially principal payments as a result of the reductions in
outstanding principal.
Payee shall provide a loan history ("Loan History") to Maker
identifying the application of the principal and interest
payments received by Payee during the immediately preceding six-
month period contemporaneously with the written notification to
Maker of the calculation of the adjusted Interest Rate and the
adjusted Monthly Payment for the next succeeding six-month
period. Payee shall provide the written notification of the
semi-annual adjustment to the Interest Rate, the new amount of
the Monthly Payment and the Loan History to Maker at least ten
(10) days prior to the due date of the next Monthly Payment. In
the event such notice is not timely delivered in accordance with
PARAGRAPH 18, Maker's next Monthly Payment shall not become due
until ten (10) days following receipt of such notice; provided,
however, that the succeeding Monthly Payments shall be due and
payable on the regularly scheduled Monthly Payment Dates unless
such notice is received on or after the due date for the next
scheduled Monthly Payment, in which event that Monthly Payment
shall be due ten (10) days following receipt of such notice by
Maker and the succeeding Monthly Payments shall be due and
payable in monthly intervals following the date of receipt of
such notice.
All Monthly Payments shall be applied first to accrued
interest and then to the principal balance. The entire remaining
Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due
and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
4. PLACE AND MANNER OF PAYMENT. All payments shall be made in
lawful money of the United States, by check payable to
"Resolution Trust Corporation, as Receiver for San Antonio
Savings Association, F.A." delivered or mailed as follows or as
the holder of this Note may from time to time designate:
RTC/FDIC
5080 Spectrum Dr., Suite 1000E
Dallas, Texas 75248
5. PREPAYMENTS. Maker may prepay the principal of this Note in
whole or in part at any time before its Maturity Date without
need to pay any prepayment premium or penalty. In the event
Maker prepays the principal of this Note in whole before its
Maturity Date, it shall provide Payee with at least ten (10) days
notice of such prepayment. Provided there are is no Event of
Default (as defined in PARAGRAPH 9), partial prepayments of
principal shall be applied to outstanding principal.
6. PARTIAL PAYMENTS. The acceptance by Payee of any payment
hereunder which is less than the payment in full of any amounts
due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute
a waiver of the right to declare a default and accelerate at that
time or any subsequent time or nullify any prior acceleration
without the express consent of Payee except as and to the extent
otherwise provided by law. Acceptance of a partial payment shall
not cure or excuse the default caused by the failure to pay the
whole amount due. Any partial payments shall first be applied to
accrued interest, and the remaining portions of such payments, if
any, shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal
balance.
7. LATE CHARGE. In the event any payment of principal or
interest or any portion of any installment of interest hereunder
is not paid within ten (10) days after it is due, Maker shall pay
to Payee a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any such
past due amount to compensate Payee for additional administrative
expenses incurred because of such delay. Any delinquent payment
of interest shall bear interest at the Interest Rate.
8. SECURITY. The following security is given for this Note:

Note if such default is not cured within ten (10) business days
from the giving of notice of the default by Payee;

breach of any agreement set forth in this Note, or any event of

relating to, debtors; or
(d) An involuntary petition shall be filed against Maker or
any party providing collateral to secure Maker's performance
hereunder under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or
moratorium law, or any other law or laws for the relief of, or
relating to, debtors unless such petition shall be dismissed or
vacated within sixty (60) days of the date thereof.
10. ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
then at the option of Payee, the entire sum of principal and
interest shall become immediately due and payable. Payee may
exercise this option to accelerate during any default by Maker
regardless of any prior forbearance.
11. DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST. Unless or until an Event of
Default is cured, interest thereafter on the unpaid principal
balance, accrued interest and costs incurred shall be payable at
a rate which is the maximum non-usurious rate permitted under
applicable law. Such default rate shall not be limited by the
twelve percent (12%) ceiling provided in PARAGRAPH 1.
12. DUE ON SALE OF RANCHO MURIETA PROPERTY. In the event SHF
Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, or any successor
in interest to SHF Acquisition Corporation, sells, conveys,
alienates, assigns, transfers or disposes of the real property
encumbered by the Rancho Murieta Deed of Trust, or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, which is not expressly
permitted hereunder or under the partial release and reconveyance
provisions of the Rancho Murieta Deed of Trust, or becomes
divested of its title or any interest therein in any manner or
way, or enters into a lease covering all or substantially all of
such real property, whether voluntary or involuntary or by
operation of law, or enters into an agreement to do so, without
the prior written consent of Payee, Payee may, at its election,
declare this Note, irrespective of the Maturity Date, immediately
due and payable without notice. No waiver of this right shall be
effective unless in writing. Consent by Payee to one such
transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the rights of
Payee provided herein as to future or succeeding transactions.
13. DUE ON SALE OF NEVADA PROPERTY. In the event SHF
Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, or any successor
in interest to SHF Acquisition Corporation, sells, conveys,
alienates, assigns, transfers or disposes of the real property
encumbered by the Nevada Deed of Trust, or any part thereof, or
any interest therein, which is not expressly permitted hereunder
or under the partial release and reconveyance provisions of the
Nevada Deed of Trust, or becomes divested of its title or any
interest therein in any manner or way, or enters into a lease
covering all or substantially all of such real property, whether
voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, or enters into
an agreement to do so, without the prior written consent of
Payee, Payee may, at its election, declare this Note,
irrespective of the Maturity Date, immediately due and payable
without notice. No waiver of this right shall be effective
unless in writing. Consent by Payee to one such transaction
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the rights of Payee
provided herein as to future or succeeding transactions.
14. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If it becomes necessary for Payee to
utilize legal counsel for the enforcement of the obligations of
this Note, and if Payee is successful in such enforcement by
legal proceedings or otherwise (whether or not suit is filed),
Payee shall be reimbursed immediately by Maker for reasonably
incurred attorneys' fees (including fees for Payee's in-house
counsel) and other costs and expenses. Maker shall also have an
immediate obligation to reimburse Payee for all attorneys' fees
and costs reasonably incurred in connection with the
representation of Payee in any liquidation, reorganization,
receivership, bankruptcy, assignment for benefit of creditors or
other debtor-relief proceeding of or relating to Maker. Until
paid to Payee, all such sums will bear interest from the date
billed at the Interest Rate. This provision is separate and
several and shall survive the merger of this provision into any
judgment.
Maker shall and does hereby agree that, if all or a portion
of the principal sum of the Note has, prior to the Maturity Date,
become due or been declared due by reason of an Event of Default,
the entire amount then due under the terms of this Note shall
include all attorneys' fees and costs and expenses which are
actually incurred as stated above, notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2924c(d) and Section 2924d of the California Civil
Code.
15. NO WAIVER. No delay or omission of Payee in exercising any
right or power arising in connection with any Event of Default
shall be construed as a waiver or as an acquiescence therein, nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further
exercise thereof. Payee may, at its option, waive any of the
conditions herein and no such waiver shall be deemed to be a
waiver of Payee's rights hereunder, but rather shall be deemed to
have been made in pursuance of this Note and not in modification
thereof. No waiver of any Event of Default shall be construed to
be a waiver of or acquiescence in or consent to any preceding or
subsequent Event of Default.
16. WAIVER OF NOTICES. Maker, all endorsers, all guarantors and

the time of payment hereto, and agree further that at any time
and from time to time without notice, the terms of payment hereof
may be modified without in any way affecting the liability of any
party to this Note, any endorser, any guarantor, or any person
liable or to become liable with respect to any indebtedness
evidenced hereby.
17. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Note are intended by
Maker to be severable and divisible and the invalidity or
unenforceability of a non-essential provision or term herein
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remainder of
this Note or any part hereof. If at any time the interest rate
charged hereunder exceeds the maximum rate of interest that may
be charged under California law, then the rate of interest
charged hereunder shall automatically be reduced to such maximum
legal rate, and any interest payments in excess of such maximum
legal rate actually received by Payee shall be applied against
the principal balance due hereunder. If such excess amount is
greater than the outstanding principal balance, Payee shall
promptly refund the amount by which such excessive interest
exceeds the principal balance.

RECITALS
A. Pledgor, Pledgee, Dunes Hotels and Casinos Inc., a New
York corporation ("Dunes"), Continental California Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, and M&R Investment Company, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("MRI"), have entered into a Settlement, Release and
Loan Modification Agreement dated October 24, 1995 ("Settlement

and replacing entirely the terms of an existing obligation of
Dunes to Pledgee, which modified obligation is evidenced by a
promissory note in the principal amount of $2,710,000 from Dunes
to Pledgee dated the date hereof ("Settlement Note"). As partial
collateral to secure the repayment of the Settlement Note,
Pledgor has agreed to pledge certain promissory notes secured by

forth in this Collateral Assignment and other good and valuable
consideration, Pledgor and Pledgee agree as follows:

Trust"). Pledgor's execution of this Collateral Assignment shall
not limit, waive, or impair Pledgee's rights under the Nevada
Deed of Trust or the Rancho Murieta Deed of Trust.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS BY PLEDGOR.
Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants with respect to the
Collateral pledged hereunder that:
3.1 OWNERSHIP. Pledgor is the absolute owner of the SHF
Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust, free and clear of all security
interests, liens, encumbrances, adverse claims and any other
claims of others except as disclosed to and accepted by Pledgee
in writing prior to the execution of this Collateral Assignment.
Pledgor will not make any further assignment of the Collateral or
create any further security interest therein, nor permit its
rights therein to be reached by attachment, levy, garnishment, or
other judicial process.
3.2 RIGHT TO PLEDGE. Pledgor has the full right, power
and authority to enter into this Collateral Assignment and to
pledge the Collateral.
3.3 VALID OBLIGATIONS UNDER SHF NOTES AND SHF DEEDS OF
TRUST. The obligations described in the SHF Notes and the SHF
Deeds of Trust are due and payable as stated therein and are
valid and enforceable according to the written terms appearing on
the face of the SHF Notes and no other terms, except as described
in SCHEDULE 2; the obligors under the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds
of Trust had the authority and the capacity to sign the SHF Notes
and SHF Deeds of Trust; and the obligors under the SHF Notes are
not now in default, as to payment of money or in any other
respect, in any obligations under the SHF Notes or the SHF Deeds
of Trust, except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by
Pledgee in writing prior to the execution of this Collateral
Assignment.
3.4 NO OFFSETS. The obligations of the obligors under the
SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust are not subject to any claim
or defense for credits, offsets, reductions, damages, prepayment,
conditions precedent, conditions subsequent or adjustment except
as otherwise provided therein.
3.5 FINANCIAL CONDITION OF OBLIGORS. No notice of the
bankruptcy, insolvency, or financial embarrassment of any of the
obligors under the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust has been
received by Pledgor, and upon Pledgor's receipt of any such
notice Pledgor will immediately give Pledgee written notice
thereof.
3.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Pledgor has maintained and will
continue to maintain accurate and complete records and accounts
concerning all obligations given as Collateral hereunder, and
agrees to permit inspection of said records and accounts by
Pledgee and to submit to Pledgee statements of said accounts in
such form as shall be prescribed by Pledgee, including, without
limitation, the statements and reports required under the
Settlement Agreement.
3.7 GRANT OF REVOCABLE LICENSE FOR COLLECTION OF INCOME AND
PROCEEDS; DEPOSIT OF INCOME AND PROCEEDS. Pledgee grants to
Pledgor a license to collect current and past due payments of
interest (but not more than one month in advance) and principal
on the SHF Notes and to collect any fire insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards relating to the real property encumbered by
the SHF Deeds of Trust, until an Event of Default occurs. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, this license may be
revoked by Pledgee in accordance with PARAGRAPH 7.3.
Until this license is revoked, Pledgor agrees to immediately
deposit all Income and Proceeds, other than interest payments on
the SHF Notes, into a separate interest-bearing account with a
federally-insured financial institution containing only such
Income and Proceeds. Within ten (10) days from such deposit, all
such Income and Proceeds shall be remitted to Pledgee for
application to outstanding principal due on the Settlement Note.
Upon Pledgee's request, Pledgor shall deliver statements to
Pledgee identifying the source of Income and Proceeds, other than
interest payments. Until this license is revoked, Pledgor shall
be entitled to retain and use all interest payments on the SHF
Notes for any purpose, including, without limitation, the payment
of interest on the Settlement Note on behalf of Dunes. In the
event any conflict arises between Pledgor and Pledgee regarding
the disposition of the Collateral or any Income or Proceeds
therefrom, the interests of Pledgee shall prevail.
3.8 NO MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT PLEDGEE'S CONSENT. Pledgor
agrees not to compromise, settle or adjust any of the SHF Notes
or renew or extend the time of payment thereof for a period in
excess of one (1) year, nor modify any of the SHF Notes or SHF
Deeds of Trust without Pledgee's prior written consent. So long
as there is no Event of Default, Pledgor shall be entitled to
extend the time of payment of any of the SHF Notes for a period
of one (1) year or less without the prior written consent of
Pledgee, provided Pledgor determines such action is financially
prudent under the circumstances.
3.9 DUTIES OF PLEDGOR ON DEFAULT OF SHF NOTE. So long as
there is no Event of Default, Pledgor shall have the right to
determine in its best business judgment whether foreclosure
proceedings (either judicial or nonjudicial) should be commenced
against any of the Collateral, without the prior written consent
of Pledgee. If Pledgor elects to commence such proceedings, upon
their conclusion Pledgor shall either (i) remit the foreclosure
sale proceeds to Pledgee or, (ii) if Pledgor credit bids at such
foreclosure sale, Pledgor shall execute and deliver a deed of
trust on such real property to Pledgee, together with title
insurance insuring the priority of Pledgee's lien, all in form
and content acceptable to Pledgee. Pledgee shall have no
responsibility or liability for the costs of such collection and
enforcement, including attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket
expenses.
3.10 MERGER OF PLEDGOR. Pledgor shall not without the
prior written consent of Pledgee, merge or consolidate with any
other entity, including without limitation any affiliate of
Pledgor, whether parent corporation, subsidiary or any entity
controlled by or under common control of Pledgor, while this
Collateral Assignment is in effect.
4. PLEDGEE'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO COLLATERAL.
Pledgee may hold the Collateral until all of the Indebtedness has
been paid and satisfied and thereafter shall deliver the
Collateral to Pledgor. Pledgee shall have the following rights
in addition to all other rights it may have by law:

but shall not be obligated to, take such steps as it reasonably
deems necessary or desirable to protect, maintain, insure,
control, receive or manage the Collateral and the real property
encumbered by the SHF Deeds of Trust, including payment of any
lien or claims against the Collateral. Pledgee may charge any
cost incurred in doing so to Pledgor and all such expenditures
incurred or paid by Pledgee will bear interest at the rate
charged under the Settlement Note from the date paid by Pledgee
to the date of repayment by Pledgor, and will be due and payable
on demand.
4.2 PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Concurrently with the
execution of this Collateral Assignment, Pledgor has delivered to
Pledgee the original SHF Notes and the original recorded SHF
Deeds of Trust. Upon request of Pledgee, Pledgor will deliver to
Pledgee any and all further documents constituting the
Collateral. Subject to the limitations of PARAGRAPH 8, Pledgor
hereby appoints Pledgee as Pledgor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact
for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to perfect
or to continue the security interest granted in this Collateral
Assignment.
4.3 LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF PLEDGEE. Pledgee shall
use ordinary reasonable care in the physical preservation and
custody of the Collateral in Pledgee's possession and shall have
the duties of a mortgagee under California Civil Code Section
2941, but shall have no other obligation to protect the
Collateral or its value.
5. SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL. If, with the written consent
of Pledgee, Pledgor shall substitute or exchange other
collateral, securities, or instruments in place of the Collateral
herein mentioned, then all of the rights and privileges of
Pledgee and all obligations on the part of Pledgor with respect
to the Collateral shall be forthwith applicable to said
substituted or exchanged collateral, securities, or instruments.
6. DEFAULT. One or more of the following acts or occurrences
shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default")
hereunder:
6.1 DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. If Dunes or Pledgor, as the
case may be, fails to make any payment when due on the
Indebtedness;
6.2 OTHER DEFAULTS. If Pledgee fails to comply with or to
perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition
contained in this Collateral Assignment, or if there is an event
of default under the Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Note,
the Nevada Deed of Trust or the Rancho Murieta Deed of Trust;
6.3 INSOLVENCY. If Pledgor shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts as they become due, shall make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall file any
petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or any other law or
laws for the relief of, or relating to, debtors;
6.4 INVOLUNTARY PROCEEDINGS. If an involuntary petition
shall be filed against Pledgor under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or any other law or
laws for the relief of, or relating to, debtors unless such

the date thereof;
6.5 FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE. If an action is filed to avoid
any transfer contemplated under this Collateral Assignment as a
fraudulent conveyance under state or federal law;
6.6 FORECLOSURE. If foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings,
whether by judicial proceedings, self-help, repossession or any
other method, are commenced by any creditor of Pledgor or by any
governmental agency against the Collateral; or
6.7 INSECURITY. Pledgee, in good faith, deems itself
insecure.
7. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default
occurs under this Collateral Assignment, at any time thereafter
Pledgee may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
7.1 ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Pledgee may declare all
Indebtedness immediately due and payable without notice of any
kind to Dunes or Pledgor.
7.2 TRANSACTIONS WITH DUNES OR OBLIGORS UNDER SHF NOTES.
Pledgee may (a) extend the time for payment or other performance,
(b) grant a renewal or change in terms or conditions, or (c)
compromise or release any obligation of any of the obligors under
the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust.
7.3 REVOCATION OF LICENSE. Pledgee may revoke the license
granted to Pledgor under PARAGRAPH 3.7 by mailing notice of such
revocation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to Pledgor at
the address set forth in PARAGRAPH 11.8. Notwithstanding the
provisions of PARAGRAPH 11.8, such notice of revocation shall be
effective when deposited in the U.S. mail. Upon such revocation,
Pledgee shall be entitled to collect all Income and Proceeds, as
more particularly set forth in PARAGRAPH 7.5.
7.4 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Pledgor agrees that upon an
Event of Default, Pledgee shall be entitled to the appointment of
a receiver appointed as a matter of right under California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 564(8). The receiver may be an
employee of Pledgee and may serve without bond. All fees of the
receiver and his or her attorney shall become part of the
Indebtedness secured by this Collateral Assignment and shall be
payable on demand, with interest at the rate set forth in the
Settlement Note from the date of expenditure until repaid.
7.5 COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF COLLATERAL. Upon
revocation of the license pursuant to PARAGRAPH 7.3, Pledgee
shall have the right to notify the obligors under the SHF Notes
that all payments of principal AND INTEREST on the SHF Notes and
any other Income and Proceeds of the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds
of Trust are to be paid to Pledgee under California Commercial
Code section 9502(1), and Pledgee, either itself or through a
receiver, shall have the right to collect such Income and
Proceeds. After deducting all legal and other costs, expenses,
and charges, including attorneys' fees, incurred in the
collection of the Income and Proceeds, Pledgee shall apply the
residue of such Income and Proceeds to the payment of any fees or
costs due under the Settlement Note, then to accrued but unpaid
interest on the Settlement Note, and then to outstanding
principal on the Settlement Note, with any excess funds to be
paid to Pledgor.
Pledgee shall further have the right to enforce any and all
obligations of the obligors under the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds
of Trust, including, without limitation, instituting judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with a right to credit bid on
behalf of Pledgor. In the event Pledgee elects to institute any
judicial proceedings to enforce the obligations of the obligors
under the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust, Pledgor will not
be a necessary party to such action or actions.
For this purpose, subject to the limitations of PARAGRAPH 8,
Pledgor irrevocably appoints Pledgee as its attorney-in-fact, (a)
to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Pledgor, (b) to
execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments, receipts,
checks, drafts and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral
or as Income or Proceeds from the Collateral; (c) to settle or
compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral and,
in the place and stead of Pledgor, execute and deliver Pledgor's
release; (d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or
institute or take part in any proceedings, either in Pledgee's
own name or in the name of Pledgor, or otherwise, which in the
discretion of Pledgee may seem to be necessary or advisable; (e)
to execute in Pledgor's name and to deliver to the obligors under
the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust on Pledgor's behalf, at
the time and in the manner specified by the Collateral, any
necessary instruments or documents; and (f) to instruct the
trustee or trustees under the SHF Deeds of Trust, in the event
Pledgee elects to institute judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure
proceedings with respect to any of the SHF Deeds of Trust.
7.6 SELL THE COLLATERAL. Pledgee may sell the Collateral,
at Pledgee's discretion, as a unit or in parcels, at one or more
public or private sales. Unless the Collateral threatens to
decline speedily in value, Pledgee shall give to Pledgor, and to
any other person who has filed with Pledgee a written request for
notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of any public
sale, or of the time on or after which any private sale or other
intended disposition is to be made. Such notice must be
delivered personally or be deposited in the United States mail
first-class postage prepaid, addressed to Pledgor at its address
as set forth in this Collateral Assignment, and to any other
person who has requested notice at the address set forth in his
request for notice, at least five (5) days before the date fixed
for any public sale or before the date or after which any private
sale or other disposition is to be made. Notice of the time and
place of a public sale shall also be given at least five (5) days
before the date of sale by publication once in a newspaper of
general circulation, published in San Diego County, California,
in which county the sale shall be held. Any public sale may be
postponed from time to time by a public announcement at the time
and place last scheduled for sale, and Pledgee may buy at any
public sale. Any sale of which notice is delivered or mailed and
published as herein provided and which is held as herein provided
is a public sale.
After deducting all legal and other costs, expenses, and
charges, including attorneys' fees, incurred in the collection,
sale, delivery, or preservation of the Collateral or any part
thereof, Pledgee shall apply the residue of the proceeds of such
sale to the payment any fees or costs due under the Settlement
Note, then to accrued but unpaid interest, and then to
outstanding principal, with any excess funds to be paid to
Pledgor.
7.7 TRANSFER TITLE. Pledgee may effect transfer of title
upon sale of all or part of the Collateral. For this purpose,
subject to the limitations of PARAGRAPH 8, Pledgor irrevocably
appoints Pledgee as its attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements,
assignments (including, without limitation, assignments of
beneficial interest in the SHF Deeds of Trust) and instruments in
the name of Pledgor as shall be necessary or reasonable.
7.8 OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Pledgee may exercise any or
all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the
provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or
otherwise.
7.9 MIXED COLLATERAL. This Collateral Assignment, the
Nevada Deed of Trust and the Rancho Murieta Deed of Trust
collectively grant Pledgee a security interest in, or title to,
both real and personal property. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Pledgee shall have all of the rights which California
Commercial Code Section 9501(4) accords a holder of real and personal
property security for an obligation to conduct separate
foreclosures, or a "unified" foreclosure, of some or all of its
real and personal property security.
7.10 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Pledgee's rights and
remedies, whether evidenced by this Collateral Assignment or by
any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently. Election by Pledgee to pursue any
remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an
election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Pledgor under this Collateral Assignment, after
Pledgor's failure to perform, shall not affect Pledgee's right to
declare a default and to exercise its remedies.
8. SATISFACTION OF INDEBTEDNESS. Within thirty (30) days
following the satisfaction of the Indebtedness, Pledgee shall
return to Pledgor the SHF Notes, the SHF Deeds of Trust and all
other documents and securities given as Collateral hereunder, and
shall endorse all instruments to Pledgor or its order, and give
an assignment of the SHF Notes and the SHF Deeds of Trust in
recordable form, all in accordance with California Civil Code
Section 2941. The irrevocable powers of attorney granted by
Pledgor to Pledgee under PARAGRAPHS 4.2, 7.5 AND 7.7 shall
terminate upon the full satisfaction of the Indebtedness secured
by this Collateral Assignment.
9. GUARANTY AND WAIVER OF SURETYSHIP DEFENSES.
9.1 COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT GIVEN AS GUARANTY. This
Collateral Assignment is intended to be a guaranty of the
obligations of Dunes under the Settlement Agreement and the
Settlement Note, in addition to any other guaranty, endorsement
or collateral held by Pledgee therefor, whether or not furnished
by Pledgor.
9.2 RIGHTS OF PLEDGEE. The Pledgor authorizes Pledgee,
without notice or demand and without affecting Pledgor's
obligations hereunder, from time to time:
(i) to renew, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of, the terms of or the
interest on the Settlement Note;
(ii) to take from any party and hold collateral
for the payment or performance of the Settlement Note or any part
thereof, and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or
any part thereof;
(iii) to accept and hold any endorsement or
guaranty of payment or performance of the Settlement Note or any
part thereof and to release or substitute any such endorser or
guarantor, or any party who has given any security interest in
any collateral as security for the payment or performance of the
Indebtedness or any part thereof, or any other party in any way
obligated to pay or perform the Indebtedness or any part thereof;
(iv) to direct the order or manner of the
disposition of any and all collateral and the enforcement of any
and all endorsements and guaranties relating to the Indebtedness
or any part thereof as Pledgee, in its sole discretion, may
determine; and
(v) to determine how, when and what application
of payments and credits, if any, shall be made on the
Indebtedness or any part thereof.
9.3 WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Pledgor hereby waives and
relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law
to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take
advantage of any such rights or remedies, including without
limitation (a) any right to require Pledgee to proceed against
Dunes or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any
security held by Pledgee at any time or to pursue any other
remedy in Pledgee's power before proceeding against the
Collateral, (b) the defense of the statute of limitations in any
action hereunder or in any action for the collection or
performance of the Settlement Note, (c) demand, presentment,
protest and notice of any kind in connection with the Settlement
Note, (d) any rights and defenses arising out of an election of
remedies by Pledgee, even though that election of remedies, such
as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
guaranteed obligation, has destroyed or otherwise impaired the
subrogation rights of Pledgor, the right of Pledgor to proceed
against Dunes for reimbursement, or both, by operation of Section
580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise, (e) 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, (f)
any duty on the part of Pledgee to disclose to Pledgor any facts
Pledgee may now or hereafter know about Dunes, regardless of
whether Pledgee has reason to believe that any such facts
materially increase the risk beyond that which Pledgor intends to
assume, or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to
Pledgor, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such
facts to Pledgor, since Pledgor acknowledges that Pledgor is
fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial
condition of Dunes and of all circumstances bearing on the risk
of non-payment of the Settlement Note, (g) any defense arising
because of Pledgee's election, in any proceeding instituted under
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (h) any defense
based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under
Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby expressly waives any
and all benefits which might otherwise be available to Pledgor
under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839,
2845, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, and California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726. This is a waiver
within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 2856.
9.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Pledgor hereby waives all
rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, and
contribution, all rights to enforce any remedy Pledgee may have
against Dunes and all rights to participate in any security held
by Pledgee for the obligations hereby guaranteed, including any
such right or any other right set forth in either of Sections
2848 or 2849 of the California Civil Code, as well as any defense
based upon the impairment of any subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnity, or contribution rights, or of any of the other
foregoing rights, that Pledgor might have absent the foregoing
waiver; and agrees (i) not to seek to enforce or to obtain any
such right, or to accept any payment from any other person, in
violation of the foregoing waiver, and (ii) that any agreement or
other understanding at any time entered into with any person
granting any such right to Pledgor shall be null and void.
10. ASSIGNMENT. This Collateral Assignment shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties and their
respective successors and assigns. In the event that Pledgee
shall assign, endorse, sell, transfer, or hypothecate to any
other person, firm, bank or corporation the Settlement Note, the
SHF Notes, the SHF Deeds of Trust or any other notes, evidences
of indebtedness, bonds, stocks, or other securities deposited
hereunder or secured or intended to be secured hereby, or any
part thereof, such assignment or transfer shall automatically
constitute an assignment and transfer of this Collateral
Assignment and of all rights given hereunder pro tanto, and such
assignee, endorsee, transferee, or successor of Pledgee shall be
granted and shall have jointly with Pledgee, all of the rights
and privileges given to Pledgee, in accordance with the terms
hereof.
11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
11.1 INTEGRATED AGREEMENT. This Collateral Assignment

to be unenforceable, invalid, or inoperative for any reason, the
validity of the remainder of the terms and provisions of this
Collateral Assignment shall not be affected thereby in any
respect.
11.4 WAIVER. No waiver by any party of any term, provision
or condition of this Collateral Assignment, whether by conduct or

be construed as a further or continuing waiver by said party of
any such term, provision, or condition of this Collateral
Assignment.
11.5 NEUTRAL INTERPRETATION. The provisions contained
herein shall not be construed in favor of or against any party
because that party or its counsel drafted this Collateral

Section 1654, are hereby specifically waived. The terms of this

parties hereto.

(2) To provide, maintain and deliver to Beneficiary fire
insurance satisfactory to and with loss payable to Beneficiary.
The amount collected under any fire or other insurance policy may
be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness secured hereby and
in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at option of
Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may
be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not
cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of
Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses,
including cost of evidence of title, and attorney's fees in a
reasonable sum, in any action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or
Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to
foreclose this Deed.
(4) To pay: at least ten days before delinquency all taxes and
assessments affecting said property, including assessments on
appurtenant water stock; when due, all encumbrances, charges and
liens, with interest, on said property or any part thereof, which
appear to be prior or superior hereto; all costs, fees and expenses
of this Trust.
Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein
provided, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation so to
do and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without
releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may, make or do the
same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary
to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being
authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in
and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the
security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee;
pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or
lien which in the judgement of either appears to be prior or
superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary
expenses, employ counsel and pay his or her reasonable fees.
(5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended
by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure
at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and to
pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date
hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby, any amount demanded

time when said statement is demanded.
B. It is mutually agreed:
(1) That any award of damages in connection with any
condemnation for public use of or injury to said property or any
part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary
who may apply or release such moneys received by him or her in the
same manner and with the same effect as above provided for
regarding disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance.
(2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after
its due date, Beneficiary does not waive his or her right either to
require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to
declare default for failure so to pay.
(3) That at any time or from time to time, without liability
therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary
and presentation of this Deed and said note for endorsement, and
without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment
of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part

agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(4) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all
sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this
Deed and said note to Trustee for cancellation and retention or
other disposition as Trustee in its sole discretion may choose and
upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty,
the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such
reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of
the truthfulness thereof. The Grantee in such reconveyance may be
described as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto."
(5) That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and
confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority, during
the continuance of these Trusts, to collect the rents, issues and
profits of said property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior
to any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured
hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and
retain such rents, issues and profits as they become due and
payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at any time
without notice, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take
possession of said property or any part thereof, in his or her own
name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits,
including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs
and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable
attorney's fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in
such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and
taking possession of said property, the collection of such rents,
issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall
not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(6) That upon default by Trustor in payment of any
indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement
hereunder, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby
immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written
declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of
default and of election to cause to be sold said property, which

sale having been given as then required by law. Trustee, without
demand on Trustor, shall sell said property at the time and place
fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in
separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public
auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the
United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale
of all or any portion of said property by public announcement at
such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may
postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the
preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser
its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant
or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any
matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as
hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of
this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with
sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all

accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date
hereof: all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if
any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument
in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee
named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the
Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the

powers and duties. Said instrument must contain the name of the

1. DUE ON SALE. In the event Trustor or any successor in
interest to Trustor sells, conveys, alienates, assigns, transfers
or disposes of the Property or any part thereof, or any interest
therein, which is not expressly permitted under the partial release
and reconveyance provisions of this Deed of Trust, set forth below,
or becomes divested of its title or any interest therein in any
manner or way, or enters into a lease covering all or substantially
all of the Property, whether voluntary or involuntary or by
operation of law, or enters into an agreement to do so, without the
prior written consent of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, at its
election, declare the promissory note from Dunes to Beneficiary
dated the date hereof in the amount of $2,710,000.00 ("Settlement
Note"), together with any other obligations secured by this Deed of
Trust, immediately due and payable without notice. No waiver of
this right shall be effective unless in writing. Consent by
Beneficiary to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of the rights of Beneficiary provided herein as to future or
succeeding transactions.
2. PARTIAL RELEASE AND RECONVEYANCE. At any time, from
time to time, provided no default or event which would constitute
a default with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or
both, exists under the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Settlement
Note, the Settlement Agreement or any other documents securing the
Settlement Note (collectively, "Loan Documents"), Trustor shall be
entitled to partial release of a portion of the Property (a
"Parcel"), upon and subject to the following conditions:
(a) Any portion of the Property to be released must be
a legal parcel on a recorded final map pursuant to the Subdivision
Map Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall
be a condition precedent to Trustor's right to obtain releases
hereunder that Trustor, at its sole expense, shall have fully
complied with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
ordinances, and rules, including, without limitation, the
California Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Sections 66410 et seq.)
and all local ordinances pertaining thereto in connection with any
Parcel so released and the unreleased portion of the Property. If
Trustor fails to comply with any of the provisions of this
paragraph, Trustor shall not be relieved in any way of its
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b) Trustor shall be entitled to the partial release of
a Parcel upon the payment to Beneficiary in cash of a release price
("Release Price") for each Parcel equal to Forty Thousand Dollars
($40,000.00). Beneficiary shall apply such payment to outstanding
principal due on the Settlement Note.
(c) Easement rights granted, conveyed, transferred and
assigned hereunder to Beneficiary which are appurtenant to
individual Parcels will automatically be released to Trustor from
time to time with the release of any Parcels from this Deed of
Trust, provided, however, such easement rights to be released will
only be released as to the Parcels released and Beneficiary will
retain such easement rights to all Property and improvements
thereto, if any, remaining encumbered by this Deed of Trust.
(d) All remaining property shall have adequate ingress
and egress and direct access to dedicated public streets and
utilities.
(e) The California Department of Real Estate has issued
a Final Amended Subdivision Public Report for the Property in form
and substance approved by Beneficiary pursuant to the Subdivided
Land Law of the State of California.
(f) The following procedures shall be used for all
releases:
(i) Trustor's written request for the release must
give the legal description of the portion of the Property to be
released, and must request Beneficiary to deposit its authorization
for the partial release and its demand with a specified escrow,
which must be an institutional title company or escrow company
qualified and licensed to do an escrow business in California. The
request must state the name and address of the escrow holder where
the authorization for the partial release and demand are to be
sent, the name of the escrow officer, and the escrow number.
(ii) Within a reasonable time after its approval of
a release, Beneficiary will deposit the authorization for the
partial release and its demand in the escrow, but Beneficiary shall
be obligated to do so only if Beneficiary has received from Trustor
satisfactory evidence that all of the conditions to the release set
forth herein have been fulfilled.
(iii) No release by Beneficiary will affect any of
Trustor's obligations under the Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Documents, except to the extent that payment is actually received
by Beneficiary. Any payments made by Trustor to Beneficiary for
the release will be credited against the principal on the
Settlement Note only upon actual receipt of the funds by
Beneficiary. Checks received by Beneficiary will not be considered
as payment until they are collected. Trustor will be fully
responsible for the proper performance of Beneficiary's demand by
the escrow holder.
(iv) Trustor will pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any releases, including, but not
limited to, any and all Trustee's fees, reconveyance fees,
recording fees, premiums for title insurance endorsements,
Beneficiary's costs in connection with such release(s) and escrow
fees.
3. GUARANTY AND WAIVER OF SURETYSHIP DEFENSES.
3.1 DEED OF TRUST GIVEN AS GUARANTY. This Deed of Trust

Dunes described in Exhibit B to this Deed of Trust, in addition to
any other guaranty, endorsement or collateral held by Beneficiary
therefor, whether or not furnished by Trustor.
3.2 RIGHTS OF BENEFICIARY. The Trustor authorizes
Beneficiary, without notice or demand and without affecting
Trustor's obligations hereunder, from time to time:
(i) to renew, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of, the terms of or the
interest on the Settlement Note;
(ii) to take from any party and hold collateral for
the payment or performance of the Settlement Note or any part
thereof, and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any
part thereof;
(iii) to accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty
of payment or performance of the Settlement Note or any part
thereof and to release or substitute any such endorser or
guarantor, or any party who has given any security interest in any
collateral as security for the payment or performance of the
indebtedness or any part thereof, or any other party in any way
obligated to pay or perform the indebtedness or any part thereof;
(iv) to direct the order or manner of the
disposition of any and all collateral and the enforcement of any
and all endorsements and guaranties relating to the indebtedness or
any part thereof as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may
determine; and
(v) to determine how, when and what application of
payments and credits, if any, shall be made on the indebtedness or
any part thereof, and to apply the same upon principal or interest
or the portion thereof, if any, in excess of the amounts guaranteed
under this Deed of Trust.
3.3 GUARANTOR WAIVERS. Trustor waives and relinquishes
all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or
guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such
rights or remedies, including without limitation (a) any right to
require Beneficiary to proceed against Dunes or any other person or
to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Beneficiary at
any time or to pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary's power
before exercising Beneficiary's remedies under this Deed of Trust,
(b) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action
hereunder or in any action for the collection or performance of the
Settlement Note, (c) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any
kind in connection with the Settlement Note, (d) any rights and
defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Beneficiary,
even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial
foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation,
has destroyed or otherwise impaired the subrogation rights of
Trustor, the right of Trustor to proceed against Dunes for
reimbursement, or both, by operation of Section 580d of the Code of
Civil Procedure or otherwise, (e) 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, (f) any duty on the part of
Beneficiary to disclose to Trustor any facts Beneficiary may now or
hereafter know about Dunes, regardless of whether Beneficiary has
reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk
beyond that which Trustor intends to assume, or has reason to
believe that such facts are unknown to Trustor, or has a reasonable
opportunity to communicate such facts to Trustor, since Trustor
acknowledges that Trustor is fully responsible for being and
keeping informed of the financial condition of Dunes and of all
circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of the Settlement
Note, (g) any defense arising because of Beneficiary's election, in
any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
and (h) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security
interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor hereby expressly
waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to
Trustor under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819,
2839, 2845, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, and California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726. This is a waiver
within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 2856.
3.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Trustor hereby waives all rights
of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, and contribution, all
rights to enforce any remedy Beneficiary may have against Dunes and
all rights to participate in any security held by Beneficiary for
the obligations hereby guaranteed, including any such right or any
other right set forth in either of Sections 2848 or 2849 of the
California Civil Code, as well as any defense based upon the
impairment of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, or
contribution rights, or of any of the other foregoing rights, that
Trustor might have absent the foregoing waiver; and agrees (i) not
to seek to enforce or to obtain any such right, or to accept any
payment from any other person, in violation of the foregoing
waiver, and (ii) that any agreement or other understanding at any
time entered into with any person granting any such right to
Trustor shall be null and void.
4. INSPECTION AND RECEIVERSHIP RIGHTS. The capitalized terms
used in this PARAGRAPH 4 shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Settlement Agreement. Upon Beneficiary's reasonable belief
of the existence of a past or present Release or threatened Release
not previously disclosed by Trustor in connection with the
execution of this Deed of Trust, or upon Beneficiary's reasonable
belief that Trustor has failed to comply with any environmental
provision in the Settlement Agreement, Beneficiary shall give
Trustor ten (10) days' prior written notice (except in the case of
an emergency) of such belief, in accordance with the notice
provisions in the Settlement Agreement. If Trustor fails to
respond to such concerns to the reasonable satisfaction of
Beneficiary within such ten (10) day period, Beneficiary or its
representatives, employees and agents, may from time to time and at
all reasonable times enter and inspect the Property and every part
of it (including all samples of soil and groundwater) and perform
those acts and things that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable
to inspect, investigate, assess and protect the security of this
Deed of Trust, for the purpose of determining (a) the existence,
location, nature and magnitude of any past or present Release or
threatened Release; (b) the presence of any Hazardous Substances on
or about the Property in violation of any Hazardous Substance Law;
and (c) the compliance by Trustor of every environmental provision
of the Settlement Agreement.
In furtherance of the purposes above, without limitation of
any of its other rights, Beneficiary may: (i) obtain a court order
to enforce Beneficiary's right to enter and inspect the Property
under Civil Code Section 2929.5, and (ii) have a receiver appointed under
Code of Civil Procedure Section 564 to enforce Beneficiary's right to
enter and inspect the Property for the purpose set forth above.
All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary with
respect to the audits, tests, inspections and examinations that
Beneficiary or its agents, representatives or employees may
conduct, including the fees of the engineers, laboratories,
contractors, consultants and attorneys, will be paid by Trustor.
All reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Trustee and
Beneficiary pursuant to this PARAGRAPH 4 will bear interest at the
rate set forth in the Settlement Note from the date they are
incurred until those sums have been paid in full.
5. ATTORNEYS' FEES. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Deed of Trust, if it becomes necessary for Beneficiary to utilize
legal counsel for the enforcement of the obligations of this Deed
of Trust, and if Beneficiary is successful in such enforcement by
legal proceedings or otherwise (whether or not suit is filed),
Beneficiary shall be reimbursed immediately by Trustor for
reasonably incurred attorneys' fees (including fees for
Beneficiary's in-house counsel) and other costs and expenses.
Trustor shall also have an immediate obligation to reimburse
Beneficiary for all attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred
in connection with the representation of Beneficiary in any
liquidation, reorganization, receivership, bankruptcy, assignment
for benefit of creditors or other debtor-relief proceeding of or
relating to Dunes or Trustor. Until paid to Beneficiary, all such
sums will bear interest from the date billed at the rate of
interest set forth in the Settlement Note. This provision is
separate and several and shall survive the merger of this provision
into any judgment.
Trustor shall and does hereby agree that, if all or a portion
of the principal sum of the Settlement Note has, prior to its
maturity date, become due or been declared due by reason of an
Event of Default (as defined in the Settlement Note) the entire
amount then due under the terms of the Settlement Note shall
include all attorneys' fees and costs and expenses which are
actually incurred as stated above, notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2924c(d) and Section 2924d of the California Civil Code.

EXHIBIT C
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS
1. DUE ON SALE. In the event Trustor or any successor in
interest to Trustor sells, conveys, alienates, assigns, transfers
or disposes of the Property or any part thereof, or any interest
therein, which is not expressly permitted under the partial release
and reconveyance provisions of this Deed of Trust, set forth below,
or becomes divested of its title or any interest therein in any
manner or way, or enters into a lease covering all or substantially
all of the Property, whether voluntary or involuntary or by
operation of law, or enters into an agreement to do so, without the
prior written consent of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, at its
election, declare the promissory note from Dunes to Beneficiary
dated the date hereof in the amount of $2,710,000.00 ("Settlement
Note"), together with any other obligations secured by this Deed of
Trust, immediately due and payable without notice. No waiver of
this right shall be effective unless in writing. Consent by
Beneficiary to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of the rights of Beneficiary provided herein as to future or
succeeding transactions.
2. PARTIAL RELEASE AND RECONVEYANCE. At any time, from
time to time, provided no default or event which would constitute
a default with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or
both, exists under the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Settlement
Note, the Settlement Agreement or any other documents securing the
Settlement Note (collectively, "Loan Documents"), Trustor shall be
entitled to partial release of a portion of the Property (a
"PARCEL"), upon and subject to the following conditions:
(a) Any portion of the Property to be released must be
a legal parcel on a recorded final map as defined in NRS 278.0145.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall be a
condition precedent to Trustor's right to obtain releases hereunder
that Trustor, at its sole expense, shall have fully complied with
all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, and
rules, including, without limitation, Chapter 278 of Nevada Revised
Statutes, entitled "Planning and Zoning," and all local ordinances
pertaining thereto in connection with any Parcel so released and
the unreleased portion of the Property. If Trustor fails to comply
with any of the provisions of this paragraph, Trustor shall not be
relieved in any way of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b) Trustor shall be entitled to the partial release of
a Parcel upon the payment to Beneficiary in cash of a release price
("Release Price") for each Parcel equal to Six Thousand Dollars
($6,000.00). Beneficiary shall apply such payments to outstanding
principal due on the Settlement Note.
(c) Easement rights granted, conveyed, transferred and
assigned hereunder to Beneficiary which are appurtenant to
individual Parcels will automatically be released to Trustor from
time to time with the release of any Parcels from this Deed of
Trust, provided, however, such easement rights to be released will
only be released as to the Parcels released and Beneficiary will
retain such easement rights to all Property and improvements
thereto, if any, remaining encumbered by this Deed of Trust.
(d) All remaining property shall have adequate ingress
and egress and direct access to dedicated public streets and
utilities.
(e) The Governing Body, as defined in NRS 278.015, has
approved the recording of the Final Map in form and substance
approved by Beneficiary.
(f) The following procedures shall be used for all
releases:
(i) Trustor's written request for the release must
give the legal description of the portion of the Property to be
released, and must request Beneficiary to deposit its authorization
for the partial release and its demand with a specified escrow,
which must be an institutional title company or escrow company
qualified and licensed to do an escrow business in Nevada. The
request must state the name and address of the escrow holder where
the authorization for the partial release and demand are to be
sent, the name of the escrow officer, and the escrow number.
(ii) Within a reasonable time after its approval of
a release, Beneficiary will deposit the authorization for the
partial release and its demand in the escrow, but Beneficiary shall
be obligated to do so only if Beneficiary has received from Trustor
satisfactory evidence that all of the conditions to the release set
forth herein have been fulfilled.
(iii) No release by Beneficiary will affect any of
Trustor's obligations under the Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Documents, except to the extent that payment is actually received
by Beneficiary. Any payments made by Trustor to Beneficiary for
the release will be credited against the principal on the
Settlement Note only upon actual receipt of the funds by
Beneficiary. Checks received by Beneficiary will not be considered
as payment until they are collected. Trustor will be fully
responsible for the proper performance of Beneficiary's demand by
the escrow holder.
(iv) Trustor will pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any releases, including, but not
limited to, any and all Trustee's fees, reconveyance fees,
recording fees, premiums for title insurance endorsements,
Beneficiary's costs in connection with such release(s) and escrow
fees.
3. SUBORDINATION. At any time, from time to time, provided
no default or event which would constitute a default with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, exists under the
terms of any of the Loan Documents, Beneficiary agrees to
subordinate its rights under this Deed of Trust to the rights of
the person owning the real property which is located west of the
Property, between Clayton Street and Simmons Street ("Neighboring
Property Owner") for an easement for water, sewer and all other
utilities across the Property ("Easement"). Beneficiary's
obligation to subordinate shall be conditioned upon the following:
(a) Beneficiary shall receive all net proceeds of any
agreements by Trustor to grant easement rights to the Neighboring
Property Owner ("Easement Agreement") and shall apply such net
proceeds to outstanding principal due under the Settlement Note.
The term "net proceeds" as used herein shall be the funds to be
paid to Trustor pursuant to the Easement Agreement, reduced by the
reasonable actual costs incurred by Trustor to negotiate and
provide the Easement, including, but not limited to, engineering
fees, surveying fees, attorneys' fees, escrow fees, recording fees
and title insurance costs; and
(b) The grant of Easement shall not significantly impair
the overall value or development of the Property.
Contemporaneously with the closing of the Easement Agreement
and upon Trustor's compliance with the conditions set forth above,
Beneficiary agrees to execute any and all documents reasonably
required by the title company necessary to document the
subordination of this Deed of Trust to the Easement.
4. GUARANTY AND WAIVER OF SURETYSHIP DEFENSES.
4.1 DEED OF TRUST GIVEN AS GUARANTY. This Deed of Trust
is intended to be a guaranty of the obligations ("Obligations") of
Dunes described in Exhibit B to this Deed of Trust, in addition to
any other guaranty, endorsement or collateral held by Beneficiary
therefor, whether or not furnished by Trustor.
4.2 RIGHTS OF BENEFICIARY. The Trustor authorizes
Beneficiary, without notice or demand and without affecting
Trustor's obligations hereunder, from time to time:
(i) to renew, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of, the terms of or the
interest on the Settlement Note;
(ii) to take from any party and hold collateral for
the payment or performance of the Settlement Note or any part
thereof, and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any
part thereof;
(iii) to accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty
of payment or performance of the Settlement Note or any part
thereof and to release or substitute any such endorser or
guarantor, or any party who has given any security interest in any
collateral as security for the payment or performance of the
indebtedness or any part thereof, or any other party in any way
obligated to pay or perform the indebtedness or any part thereof;
(iv) to direct the order or manner of the
disposition of any and all collateral and the enforcement of any
and all endorsements and guaranties relating to the indebtedness or
any part thereof as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may
determine; and
(v) to determine how, when and what application of
payments and credits, if any, shall be made on the indebtedness or
any part thereof, and to apply the same upon principal or interest
or the portion thereof, if any, in excess of the amounts guaranteed
under this Deed of Trust.
4.3 GUARANTOR WAIVERS. Trustor waives and relinquishes
all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or
guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such
rights or remedies, including without limitation (a) any right to
require Beneficiary to proceed against Dunes or any other person or
to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Beneficiary at
any time or to pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary's power
before exercising Beneficiary's remedies under this Deed of Trust,
(b) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action
hereunder or in any action for the collection or performance of the
Settlement Note, (c) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any
kind in connection with the Settlement Note, (d) any rights and
defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Beneficiary,
even though that election of remedies has destroyed or otherwise
impaired the subrogation rights of Trustor, the right of Trustor to
proceed against Dunes for reimbursement, or both, (e) 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, (f) any
duty on the part of Beneficiary to disclose to Trustor any facts
Beneficiary may now or hereafter know about Dunes, regardless of
whether Beneficiary has reason to believe that any such facts
materially increase the risk beyond that which Trustor intends to
assume, or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to
Trustor, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts
to Trustor, since Trustor acknowledges that Trustor is fully
responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial
condition of Dunes and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of
non-payment of the Settlement Note, (g) any defense arising because
of Beneficiary's election, in any proceeding instituted under the
Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2)
of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and (h) any defense based upon any
borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Trustor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits
which might otherwise be available to Trustor under Nevada Revised
Statutes Sections 40.430, 40.475 and 40.485. This is a waiver
within the meaning of Nevada Revised Statutes Section 40.495.
4.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Trustor hereby waives all rights
of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, and contribution, all
rights to enforce any remedy Beneficiary may have against Dunes and
all rights to participate in any security held by Beneficiary for
the obligations hereby guaranteed, including any such right or any
other right set forth in either of Sections 40.475 or 40.485 of the
Nevada Revised Statutes, as well as any defense based upon the
impairment of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, or
contribution rights, or of any of the other foregoing rights, that
Trustor might have absent the foregoing waiver; and agrees (i) not
to seek to enforce or to obtain any such right, or to accept any
payment from any other person, in violation of the foregoing
waiver, and (ii) that any agreement or other understanding at any
time entered into with any person granting any such right to
Trustor shall be null and void.
5. INSPECTION AND RECEIVERSHIP RIGHTS. The capitalized terms
used in this Paragraph 5 shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Settlement Agreement. Upon Beneficiary's reasonable belief
of the existence of a past or present Release or threatened Release
not previously disclosed by Trustor in connection with the
execution of this Deed of Trust, or upon Beneficiary's reasonable
belief that Trustor has failed to comply with any environmental
provision in the Settlement Agreement, Beneficiary shall give
Trustor ten (10) days' prior written notice (except in the case of
an emergency) of such belief, in accordance with the notice
provisions in the Settlement Agreement. If Trustor fails to
respond to such concerns to the reasonable satisfaction of
Beneficiary within such ten (10) day period, Beneficiary or its
representatives, employees and agents, may from time to time and at
all reasonable times enter and inspect the Property and every part
of it (including all samples of soil and groundwater) and perform
those acts and things that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable
to inspect, investigate, assess and protect the security of this
Deed of Trust, for the purpose of determining (a) the existence,
location, nature and magnitude of any past or present Release or
threatened Release; (b) the presence of any Hazardous Substances on
or about the Property in violation of any Hazardous Substance Law;
and (c) the compliance by Trustor of every environmental provision
of the Settlement Agreement.
In furtherance of the purposes above, without limitation of
any of its other rights, Beneficiary may: (i) obtain a court order
to enforce Beneficiary's right to enter and inspect the Property,
and (ii) have a receiver appointed under NRS 107.100 to enforce
Beneficiary's right to enter and inspect the Property for the
purpose set forth above.
All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary with
respect to the audits, tests, inspections and examinations that
Beneficiary or its agents, representatives or employees may
conduct, including the fees of the engineers, laboratories,
contractors, consultants and attorneys, will be paid by Trustor.
All reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Trustee and
Beneficiary pursuant to this PARAGRAPH 5 will bear interest at rate
set forth in the Settlement Note from the date they are incurred
until those sums have been paid in full.
6. ATTORNEYS' FEES. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Deed of Trust, if it becomes necessary for Beneficiary to utilize
legal counsel for the enforcement of the obligations of this Deed
of Trust, and if Beneficiary is successful in such enforcement by
legal proceedings or otherwise (whether or not suit is filed),
Beneficiary shall be reimbursed immediately by Trustor for
reasonably incurred attorneys' fees (including fees for
Beneficiary's in-house counsel) and other costs and expenses.
Trustor shall also have an immediate obligation to reimburse
Beneficiary for all attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred
in connection with the representation of Beneficiary in any
liquidation, reorganization, receivership, bankruptcy, assignment
for benefit of creditors or other debtor-relief proceeding of or
relating to Dunes or Trustor. Until paid to Beneficiary, all such
sums will bear interest from the date billed at the rate of
interest set forth in the Settlement Note. This provision is
separate and several and shall survive the merger of this provision
into any judgment.
Trustor shall and does hereby agree that, if all or a portion
of the principal sum of the Settlement Note has, prior to its
maturity date, become due or been declared due by reason of an
Event of Default (as defined in the Settlement Note) the entire
amount then due under the terms of the Settlement Note shall
include all attorneys' fees and costs and expenses which are
actually incurred as stated above.
