ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

     In addition to the covenants set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article IV.

      SECTION 4.01. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.02 through 4.04 of this Supplemental Indenture if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly so waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect; provided that no waiver of any requirement to provide a Guarantee or collateral shall be effective without the Act of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby.

      SECTION 4.02. GUARANTEE.

     (a) The Company shall from time to time (i) cause each Subsidiary of the Company that is not an Excluded Subsidiary to become, on the Closing Date or, if such Subsidiary is acquired or created after the Closing Date or such Subsidiary was an Excluded Subsidiary but thereafter is not an Excluded Subsidiary, at the later of (A) the time of the acquisition, creation or change in status of such Subsidiary and (B) the time at which such Subsidiary Incurs Indebtedness or such Subsidiary guarantees or secures any Indebtedness of the Company, a guarantor of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes by executing this Indenture (directly, by supplemental indenture or by a joinder agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C) as a Subsidiary Guarantor or by executing a Guarantee in substantially the form of Article X of the Base Indenture ( provided that

6


 

the provision of a Guarantee by a Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall be subject to compliance with any applicable Gaming Laws and the Company agrees that (subject to Section 4.02(b) of this Supplemental Indenture) it shall not have any such Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary unless it is permitted to give such Guarantee under applicable Gaming Laws) and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, that such Guarantee is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions for bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer and equitable principles.

     (b) The actions set forth in Section 4.02(a) of this Supplemental Indenture shall be taken within 10 days of the time on which any Person is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that if such Person is not permitted to give a Guarantee under applicable Gaming Laws, then, unless such Person has become a guarantor of the Credit Facility, any Existing Senior Notes or any Additional Notes, such period shall be extended as long as the Company continues to use best efforts to obtain the requisite consents for such Guarantee from the applicable Gaming Authority. Each Note issued after the date of execution by any additional Subsidiary Guarantor of a Guarantee set forth in this Indenture shall be endorsed with a form of Guarantee that has been executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor. However, the failure of any Note to have endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such Guarantee. In the case of a Subsidiary that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date as a result of its guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company (and not as a result of its Incurrence of Indebtedness), if such Subsidiary thereafter no longer guarantees any Indebtedness and has not Incurred any Indebtedness, then, upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conditions to release of the Guarantee by such Subsidiary have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee Obligations under its Guarantee.

     (c) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create or acquire or have any Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary without making effective provision for such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture. In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary shall create or acquire any Subsidiary that is (i) not a guarantor of the Company’s Indebtedness (including the Notes, the Credit Facility and the Existing Senior Notes), and not subject to any covenants in, or Liens securing, the Credit Facility or the Existing Senior Notes, or (ii) a non-U.S. Subsidiary whose only tangible assets are located in foreign nations or a holding company of any non-U.S. Subsidiaries whose only tangible assets are located in foreign nations, provided such holding company has no other assets or operations, then such Subsidiary shall be an Excluded Subsidiary.

      SECTION 4.03. LIMITATION ON LIENS.

     (a) Other than as provided in Section 4.03(c) of this Supplemental Indenture and subject to compliance with any applicable Gaming Laws, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any Principal Property or on any evidences of Indebtedness or shares of capital stock of, or other ownership interests in, any Subsidiaries (regardless of whether the Principal Property, Indebtedness, capital stock or ownership interests were acquired before or after the date hereof) without effectively providing that all of the Notes or Guarantees then outstanding, as the case may be, shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured, except that this restriction will not apply to:

     (i) Liens existing on the date of original issuance of the Notes;

     (ii) Liens affecting property of a corporation or other entity existing at the time it becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor or at the time it is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that such Liens are not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such entity becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor or such merger or consolidation and do not extend to or cover property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor other than property of the entity so acquired or which becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor);

     (iii) Liens (including purchase money Liens) existing at the time of acquisition thereof on property acquired after the date hereof or to secure Indebtedness Incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 24 months after the acquisition for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price of property

7


 

acquired after the date hereof (provided that such Liens do not extend to or cover any property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor other than the property so acquired);

     (iv) Liens on any property to secure all or part of the cost of improvements or construction thereon or Indebtedness Incurred to provide funds for such purpose in a principal amount not exceeding the cost of such improvements or construction;

     (v) Liens which secure Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or to a Subsidiary Guarantor or which secure Indebtedness of the Company to a Subsidiary Guarantor;

     (vi) Liens on the stock, partnership or other equity interest of the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor in any Joint Venture or any Subsidiary which owns an equity interest in such Joint Venture to secure Indebtedness, provided the amount of such Indebtedness is contributed and/or advanced solely to such Joint Venture;

     (vii) Liens to government entities, including pollution control or industrial revenue bond financing;

     (viii) Liens required by any contract or statute in order to permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to perform any contract or subcontract made by it with or at the request of a governmental entity;

     (ix) mechanic’s, materialman’s, carrier’s or other like Liens, arising in the ordinary course of business;

     (x) Liens for taxes or assessments and similar charges;

     (xi) zoning restrictions, easements, licenses, covenants, reservations, restrictions on the use of real property and other minor irregularities of title; and

     (xii) any extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi).

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,

     (i) if any of the Existing Senior Notes are hereafter secured by any Liens on any of the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, then the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall, substantially concurrently with the granting of such Liens, subject to such Liens having been approved by all applicable Gaming Authorities to the extent the Gaming Laws of the applicable jurisdiction require such approval, grant perfected Liens in the same collateral to secure the Notes (or Guarantees, as the case may be), equally, ratably and on a pari passu basis. The Liens granted pursuant to this provision shall be (A) granted concurrently with the granting of any such Liens, and (B) granted pursuant to instruments, documents and agreements which are no less favorable to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes than those granted to secure the Existing Senior Notes. In connection with the granting of any such Liens, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall provide to the Trustee (y) policies of title insurance on customary terms and conditions, to the extent that policies of title insurance on the corresponding property are provided to the Holders of the Existing Senior Notes or their respective trustee (and in an insured amount that bears the same proportion to the principal amount of the Notes as the insured amount in the policies provided to the holders of the Existing Senior Notes bears to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Existing Senior Notes), and (z) legal opinions and other assurances as the Trustee may reasonably request.

     (ii) if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors become entitled to the release of any of such equal, ratable and pari passu Liens securing the Existing Senior Notes, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred and remains continuing, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors

may in their sole discretion request that the collateral agent release any corresponding Liens securing the Notes, the Existing Senior Notes and such other notes and guarantees, and in such circumstances the collateral agent (or the Trustee) shall so release such Liens.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may create, assume or suffer to exist Liens not otherwise permitted as described above, provided that at the time of such incurrence, assumption or sufferance, after giving effect to such Lien, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by such Liens (not including Liens permitted under Section 4.03(a) of this Supplemental Indenture) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 4.04(a) of this Supplemental Indenture), measured, in each case, at the time the Lien is incurred, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that may at any time secure any of the Existing Senior Notes.

      SECTION 4.04. LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

     (a) Other than as provided in Section 4.04(b) of this Supplemental Indenture, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, unless either:

     (i) the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions described in clauses (i) through (xii) of Section 4.03(a) of this Supplemental Indenture, to create, assume or suffer to exist a Lien on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or

     (ii) an amount equal to the greater of the net cash proceeds of such sale or the fair market value of such property (in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors) is applied within 120 days to the retirement or other discharge of its Funded Debt.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may enter into Sale and Lease-Back Transactions not otherwise permitted as described above, provided that at the time of entering into such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, after giving effect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under Section 4.03(a) of this Supplemental Indenture) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 4.04(a) of this Supplemental Indenture), measured, in each case, at the time any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is entered into, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that may at any time secure any of the Existing Senior Notes.
