the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge

Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in

replacement thereof.

pursuant to this Indenture, other than any such Notes in respect of which there

shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such

Notes are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Notes are valid

obligations of the Company;

provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite

principal amount of Notes Outstanding have performed any Act hereunder, Notes

owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the

Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be

Outstanding (provided, that in connection with any offer by the Company or any

obligor to purchase or exchange Notes, Notes tendered by a Holder shall be

Outstanding until the date of purchase or exchange), except that, in determining

whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Act, only Notes

which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so

disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be

regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the

Trustee the pledgee's right to act with respect to such Notes and that the

pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate

of the Company or of such other obligor.

SECTION 2.09 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

SECTION 2.10 TEMPORARY NOTES.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the

Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,

shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in

the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers

appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the

Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company

<PAGE>

shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange

for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the

benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.11 CANCELLATION.

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange

shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the

Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. All Notes so delivered shall be promptly

cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for

cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which

the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the

Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation

any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued,

and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes

shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as

provided in this Section, except as permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled

Notes held by the Trustee shall be delivered to the Company upon Company

Request. The acquisition of any Notes by the Company shall not operate as a

redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and

until such Notes are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Notes

shall not be disposed of until exchanged in full for Definitive Notes or until

payment thereon is made in full.

SECTION 2.12 DEFAULTED INTEREST.

(a) Any interest on any Note which is payable but is not punctually

paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "DEFAULTED

INTEREST") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the

relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such registered

Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election

in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted

Interest to the Persons in whose names such Notes (or their respective

Predecessor Note) are registered at the close of business on a special record

date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,

which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the

Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on

each such Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the

Company shall deposit with the Trustee prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time,

an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect

of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the

Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money

when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to

such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall

fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest. The

Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in

the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed

payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be

mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holders of such Notes at their

addresses as they appear in the Note Register, not less than 15 days prior to

such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted

Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid,

such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Notes

(or their respective Predecessor Note) are registered at the close of business

on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the

following clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on

Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any

securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as

may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to

the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of

payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note

delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in lieu of,

any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to

accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

<PAGE>

SECTION 2.13 CUSIP, ISIN OR COMMON CODE NUMBERS.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP," "ISIN" or "Common

Code" numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use such

numbers in notices of redemption or repurchase as a convenience to Holders;

provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made

as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as

contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be

placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any

such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission

of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in

"CUSIP," "ISIN" or "Common Code" numbers.

SECTION 2.14 ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES.

If authorized by a Board Resolution, the Company shall be entitled to

issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have substantially

identical terms as the Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance,

issue price, amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date

applicable thereto or upon a registration default as provided under a

registration rights agreement related thereto, if any (and if such Additional

Notes shall be issued in the form of Unrestricted Notes, other than with respect

to transfer restrictions); provided that such issuance shall be made in

compliance with this Indenture; provided, however, that no Additional Notes may

be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have "original

issue discount" within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code. The Initial

Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all

purposes under this Indenture.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in an

Officers' Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, or in

a supplemental indenture, the following information:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding immediately

prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes;

(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be

authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(3) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes and the

amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date applicable

thereto;

(4) the "CUSIP", "ISIN" or "Common Code" number, as applicable, of such

Additional Notes; and

(5) whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes, and in

which form and pursuant to which exemptions from the Securities Act they may be

issued and resold, or whether they shall be Unrestricted Notes issued pursuant

to a registration statement under the Securities Act.

part at any time at a redemption price (the "REDEMPTION PRICE") equal to the

greater of:

- 100% of the principal amount thereof; or

- as determined by an Independent Investment Banker,

the sum of the present values of the remaining

scheduled payments of principal and interest on the

Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of

such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption

Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a

semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting

of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury

Rate, plus 50 basis points,

<PAGE>

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the

Redemption Date on the Notes to be redeemed.

"ADJUSTED TREASURY RATE" means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

- the yield, under the heading which represents the

average for the immediately preceding week, appearing

in the most recently published statistical release

designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication

which is published weekly by the Board of Governors

of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes

yields on actively traded United States Treasury

securities adjusted to constant maturity under the

caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the

maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury

Issue (if no maturity is within three months before

or after the Remaining Life (as defined below),

yields for the two published maturities most closely

corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall

be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be

interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a

straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month);

- if such release (or any successor release) is not

published during the week preceding the calculation

date or does not contain such yields, the rate per

annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to

maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated

using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue

(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)

equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such

Redemption Date.

The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business

Day preceding the Redemption Date.

"COMPARABLE TREASURY ISSUE" means the United States Treasury security

selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to

the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the

time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in

pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the

remaining term of such securities ("REMAINING LIFE").

"COMPARABLE TREASURY PRICE" means (1) the average of four Reference

Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest

and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent

Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer

Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

"INDEPENDENT INVESTMENT BANKER" means one of the Reference Treasury

Dealers appointed by the Company.

"REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER" means any primary U.S. Government

securities dealer in New York City selected by the Company.

"REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER QUOTATIONS" means, with respect to each

the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the

Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its

principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00

p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption

Date.

SECTION 3.02 ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

The election of the Company to redeem the Notes shall be evidenced by a

Board Resolution. The Company shall, not less than 35 (unless a shorter notice

period is acceptable to the Trustee) nor more than 60 days before the Redemption

Date fixed by the Company, notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, the

Redemption Price, the CUSIP numbers and the principal amount of Notes to be

redeemed.

<PAGE>

SECTION 3.03 SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the election of the

Company, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60

days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Notes not

previously called for redemption by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair

and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of

portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Notes or any integral

multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Notes in a denomination larger than

the minimum authorized denomination for Notes pursuant to Section 2.01(a) in the

currency in which the Notes are denominated. The portions of the principal

amount of Notes so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum

authorized denominations for Notes pursuant to Section 2.01(a) in the currency

in which the Notes are denominated or any integral multiple thereof. In any case

when more than one Note is registered in the same name, the Trustee, in its

discretion, may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were

represented by one Note.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the U.S. Depositary

for the Notes (if other than itself) in writing of the Notes selected for

redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the

principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise

requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in

the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of

the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.04 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Company, or at the Company's

written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company,

not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to

the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to this Article III, in the

manner provided in Section 12.02. Any notice so given shall be conclusively

presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such

notice. Failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice to the Holder

of any Note, in whole or in part, shall not affect the sufficiency of any notice

of redemption with respect to the Holder of any other Note.

All notices of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed

(including CUSIP number) and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date,

(b) the Redemption Price,

contained in this Indenture or the terms of the Notes, together with a brief

statement of the facts permitting such redemption,

(d) that all Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed,

(e) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due

and payable upon each such Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if

any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date, and

(f) the Place or Places of Payment where such Notes are to be

surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

SECTION 3.05 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date

for any Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent

(or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in

trust as provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money in the currency in which

such Notes are denominated sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes

which are to be redeemed on that date.

<PAGE>

SECTION 3.06 NOTES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, any Notes so to be

redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption

Price in the currency in which the Notes are payable, and from and after such

date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price)

such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for

redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the

Company at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that installments of

interest on Notes which have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the Redemption

Date for such Notes shall be payable according to the terms of such Notes and

the provisions of Section 2.04, Section 2.12 and Section 4.05.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender

thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid,

bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the

Note.

SECTION 3.07 NOTES REDEEMED IN PART.

Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at

the Corporate Trust Office with, if the Company, the U.S. Depositary for the

Notes or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of

transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the U.S. Depositary for the Notes

and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney

duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall

authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a

new Note or Notes, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as

requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange

for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered. In the

case of a Note providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of

the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Note or Notes as

aforesaid, may make a notation on such Note of the payment of the redeemed

portion thereof.

SECTION 3.08 MANDATORY DISPOSITION OF NOTES PURSUANT TO GAMING LAWS.

Each Holder and beneficial owner, by accepting or otherwise acquiring

an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have agreed that if the Gaming

Authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

conducts or proposes to conduct gaming requires that a Person who is a Holder or

beneficial owner must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under the

applicable Gaming Laws, such Holder or beneficial owner shall apply for a

license, qualification or a finding of suitability within the required time

period. If such Person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is

found unsuitable (a "DISQUALIFIED HOLDER"), then the Company shall have the

right, at its option, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture:

(i) to require such Person to dispose of its Notes or beneficial

interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Company's election

or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such Gaming Authority;

(ii) to redeem such Notes, which Redemption Date may be less than 30

days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the

Gaming Authority, at a redemption price equal to:

(1) the lesser of:

(a) the Person's cost, plus accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the

date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply; and

(b) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus

accrued and unpaid interest to the earlier of the Redemption

Date and the date of the finding of unsuitability; or

(2) such other amount as may be required by applicable Gaming

Laws or by order of any Gaming Authority.

<PAGE>

The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such

Disqualified Holder status or redemption as soon as practicable. The Company

shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such Holder or beneficial

owner may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification

or a finding of suitability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

Indenture, immediately upon the imposition of a requirement to dispose of Notes

by a Gaming Authority, such Person shall, to the extent required by applicable

Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly,

through any trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred

by the Notes or (ii) to receive any interest, dividends or any other

distributions or payments with respect to the Notes or any remuneration in any

form with respect to the Notes from the Company or the Trustee, except the

redemption price.

ARTICLE IV

outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Holders within 15 days after the

time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations:

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would

be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and

10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"

("MD&A") and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by

the Company's independent registered public accounting firm; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed

with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such

reports.

(b) In addition, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, for so long

as any Notes remain outstanding, shall furnish to the Holders and to securities

analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required

to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The

Company shall at all times comply with TIA Section 314(a).

SECTION 4.03 OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end

of each fiscal year, a certificate of the principal executive officer, principal

financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company stating whether

or not, to the knowledge of the signer thereof, the Company is in compliance

with all covenants and conditions under this Indenture, and, in the event of any

noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof

of which such signer may have knowledge. For purposes of this Section, such

compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or

requirement of notice provided under this Indenture.

SECTION 4.04 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment an office or agency

where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be

surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Notes that are

convertible may be surrendered for conversion, if applicable, and where notices

and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture

may be served. If the Notes are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United

Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other

stock exchange

<PAGE>

located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the

Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Notes in London, Luxembourg or any

other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so

long as the Notes are listed on such exchange, and subject to any laws or

regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment located outside the United

States an office or agency where any Notes may be surrendered for registration

of transfer, where Notes may be surrendered for exchange or redemption and where

notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this

Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the

Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or

agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required

office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,

such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the

Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the

Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and

demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate different or

additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside

of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such

designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in

any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding

paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any

such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the

location of any such different or additional office or agency.

SECTION 4.05 MONEY FOR NOTES; PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with

respect to the Notes, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of

(and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in

trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay

the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums

shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and

will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect

to the Notes, it will, by or on each due date of the principal (and premium, if

any) or interest on any Notes, deposit with any such Paying Agent a sum

sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming

due (in same day funds and, if a Global Note is Outstanding, by 10:00 a.m., New

York City time, in order for the Trustee to make payment to the U.S. Depositary

for such Note in accordance with rules of such U.S. Depositary), such sum to be

held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any

such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee

of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent with respect to the Notes

other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in

which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions

of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and

premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons

entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise

disposed of as herein provided;

(b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other

obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium,

if any) or interest on the Notes; and

written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in

trust by such Paying Agent.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the

satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or

by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in

trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee

upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or

such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,

such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to

such money.

<PAGE>

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by

the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)

or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such

principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be

paid to the Company upon Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall

be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as

an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and

all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust

money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon

cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being

required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause

to be transmitted in the manner and to the extent provided by Section 12.02,

notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified

therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such

notification, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid

to the Company upon Company Request.

SECTION 4.06 CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

Subject to Articles V and X, the Company will do or cause to be done all

things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its and each

Subsidiary Guarantor's corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and

franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to

preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the

preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of

the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.07 WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,

provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.04 through 4.06 or 4.08 through

4.12 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 4.08 GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL MATTERS.

(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 Issue Date or, if

such Subsidiary is acquired or created after the Issue 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 F) as a Subsidiary Guarantor or by

executing a Guarantee in substantially the form of Article X (provided that the

provision of a Guarantee by a Subsidiary after the Issue Date shall be subject

to compliance with any applicable Gaming Laws and the Company agrees that

(subject to Section 4.08(b)) 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 4.08(a) 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

<PAGE>

not affect the validity or enforceability of such Guarantee. In the case of a

Subsidiary that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Issue 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.

Event has occurred and the Collateral Release Date has not again occurred), the
