            exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Maximum Revolver

            in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Lender in its
            Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against
            the Borrowing Base, including reserves with respect to (A) sums that
            BCG is required to pay (such as taxes, assessments, insurance
            premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts


                                       33

            payable under such leases) and has failed to pay under any Section

            as entitled to have priority over the Lender's Liens), which Lien or
            trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Lender likely would have a
            priority superior to the Lender's Liens (such as Liens or trusts in
            favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen,
            laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise,
            sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in

            the sum of the then extant Revolver Usage of BCG and BNG, (ii) the
            BMG Letter of Credit Usage, and (iii) the Availability Reserve.

                  (ii)  Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(a)
            notwithstanding, Lender shall have the right to establish reserves
            in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Lender in its
            Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against
            the Borrowing Base, including reserves with respect to (A) sums that
            BMG is required to pay (such as taxes, assessments, insurance
            premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts
            payable under such leases) and has failed to pay under any Section
            of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (B) amounts owing
            by BMG to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust
            over, any of its Collateral (other than any existing Permitted Lien
            set forth on Schedule P-3 which is specifically identified thereon
            as entitled to have priority over the Lender's Liens), which Lien or
            trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Lender likely would have a
            priority superior to the Lender's Liens (such as Liens or trusts in
            favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen,
            laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise,
            sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in
            and to such item of the Collateral.

                  (c)   BNG REVOLVER.

                  (i)   Subject to the approval of the Loan Documents by the
            Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission, and
            the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the
            term of this


                                       34
<PAGE>
            Agreement, Lender agrees to make advances to BNG in an amount at any
            one time outstanding not to exceed an amount equal to the lesser of
            (A) the Maximum Revolver Amount or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus, in
            each case, the sum of (i) the then extant Revolver Usage of BCG and
            BMG, and (ii) BNG Letter of Credit Usage, and (iii) the Availability
            Reserve.

                  (ii)  Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(a)
            notwithstanding, Lender shall have the right to establish reserves
            in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Lender in its
            Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against
            the Borrowing Base, including reserves with respect to (A) sums that
            BNG is required to pay (such as taxes, assessments, insurance
            premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts
            payable under such leases) and has failed to pay under any Section
            of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (B) amounts owing
            by BNG to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust
            over, any of its Collateral (other than any existing Permitted Lien
            set forth on Schedule P-3 which is specifically identified thereon
            as entitled to have priority over the Lender's Liens), which Lien or
            trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Lender likely would have a
            priority superior to the Lender's Liens (such as Liens or trusts in
            favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen,
            laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise,
            sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in
            and to such item of the Collateral.

                  (d)   Lender shall have no obligation to make additional
Advances hereunder at any time and to the extent such additional Advances would
cause the Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.

                  (e)   Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section may be repaid
and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any
time during the term of this Agreement.

<PAGE>
                  (b)   MAKING OF ADVANCES. If Lender has received a timely
request for a Borrowing in accordance with the provisions hereof, and subject to
the satisfaction of the applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender
shall make the proceeds of such Advance available to the applicable Borrower on
the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to
such proceeds to Borrower's Designated Account.

      2.4   PAYMENTS.

                  (a)   PAYMENTS BY BORROWERS.

                        (i)   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
            payments by Borrowers shall be made to Lender's Account and shall be
            made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m.
            (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received
            by Lender later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed to
            have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable
            interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following
            Business Day.

                  (b)   APPLICATION AND REVERSAL OF PAYMENTS.

                  (i)   All payments shall be remitted to Lender and all such
            payments (other than payments received while no Default or Event of
            Default has occurred and is continuing and which relate to the
            payment of principal or interest of specific Obligations or which
            relate to the payment of specific fees), and all proceeds of
            Accounts or other Collateral received by Lender, shall be applied as
            follows:

                        A.    first, to pay any Lender Expenses then due to
                  Lender under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

                        B.    second, to pay any fees then due to Lender under
                  the Loan Documents until paid in full,

                        C.    third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of
                  the Advances until paid in full,

                        D.    fourth, to pay the principal of all Advances until
                  paid in full,

                        E.    fifth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
                  continuing, to be held by Lender as cash collateral in an
                  amount up to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage
                  until paid in full,

                        F.    sixth, to pay any other Obligations until paid in
                  full, and


                                       36
<PAGE>
                        G.    seventh, to Borrowers (to be wired to the
                  applicable Borrower's Designated Account) or such other Person
                  entitled thereto under applicable law.

                  (ii)  In each instance, so long as no Default or Event of
            Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.4(b) shall not be
            deemed to apply to any payment by Borrowers specified by Borrowers
            to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable
            (or pre-payable) under any provision of this Agreement.

                  (iii) For purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means
            payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to
            the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional
            fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after
            the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest,
            interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the
            same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any
            Insolvency Proceeding.

                  (iv)  In the event of a direct conflict between the priority
            provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any
            other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
            such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together
            and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with
            each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that
            cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this
            Section 2.4 shall control and govern.

      2.5   OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of
Obligations owed by Borrowers to Lender pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.12 is
greater than the limitations set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.12, (an
"Overadvance"), Borrowers immediately shall pay to Lender, in cash, the amount
of such excess, which amount shall be used by Lender to reduce the Obligations
in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). In addition,
Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest,
fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full to Lender as and when due and
payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

      2.6   INTEREST RATES AND LETTER OF CREDIT FEE: RATES, PAYMENTS, AND
CALCULATIONS.


                  (a)   INTEREST RATES. Except as provided in clause (c) below,
all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to
the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily
Balance thereof, at the applicable Borrower's option in accordance with Section
2.13 below, as follows (i) if the relevant Obligation is an Advance that is a
LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate
Margin, and (ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate.


                                       37
<PAGE>
                  (b)   LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrower shall pay Lender a Letter
of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set
forth in Section 2.12(e)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to 2% per annum
times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit.

                  (c)   DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default,

                        (i)   all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of
            Credit ) that have been charged to the Loan Accounts pursuant to the
            terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a
            per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate
            otherwise applicable hereunder, and

                        (ii)  the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall
            be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate
            otherwise applicable hereunder.

                  (d)   PAYMENT. Interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other
fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of
each month at any time that Obligations or obligation to extend credit hereunder
are outstanding. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in accordance with
Section 2.10 below and from time to time without prior notice to Borrowers, to
charge such interest and fees, all Lender Expenses (as and when incurred), the
charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.12(e) (as and
when accrued or incurred), the fees and costs provided for in Section 2.11 (as
and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and
payable under any Loan Document to Borrowers' Loan Accounts, which amounts
thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate
then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be
compounded by being charged to Borrowers' Loan Accounts and shall thereafter
constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then
applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans hereunder.

                  (e)   COMPUTATION. All interest and fees chargeable under the
Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual
number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time
hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate
automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal
to such change in the Base Rate.

                  (f)   INTENT TO LIMIT CHARGES TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no
event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any
other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible
under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and Lender, in executing and
delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of
interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates
of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable
law, then, ipso facto, as of the


                                       38
<PAGE>
date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment
of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess
of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the
principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

      2.7   [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

      2.8   CREDITING PAYMENTS. The receipt of any payment item by Lender shall
not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire
transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Lender's Account or
unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should
any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall
be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated
accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any
payment item shall be deemed received by Lender only if it is received into
Lender's Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If
any payment item is received into the Lender's Account on a non-Business Day or
after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have
been received by Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day.

      2.9   DESIGNATED ACCOUNT. Lender is authorized to make the Advances, and
Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based
upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an
Authorized Person, or without instructions if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Each
Borrower agrees to establish and maintain its Designated Account with the
applicable Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of
the Advances requested by such Borrower and made by Lender hereunder. Unless
otherwise agreed by Lender and the applicable Borrower, any Advance requested by
such Borrower and made by Lender hereunder shall be made to the applicable
Borrower's Designated Account.

      2.10  MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS OF OBLIGATIONS. Lender shall
maintain an account on its books in the name of each Borrower (the "Loan
Account," and, collectively, the "Loan Accounts") on which the applicable
Borrower will be charged with all Advances made by Lender to such Borrower or
for such Borrower's account, the Letters of Credit issued by Lender for such
Borrower's account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and
Lender Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.8, the Loan Account of each
Borrower will be credited with all payments received by Lender from such
Borrower or for such Borrower's account. Lender shall render statements
regarding each Borrower's Loan Account to the applicable Borrower, including
principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and
expenses constituting Lender Expenses owing, and such statements shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account
stated between Borrowers and Lender unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof
by the applicable Borrower, such Borrower shall deliver to Lender written
objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such
statements.


                                       39

continuing thereafter until the termination date of this Agreement;

                  (b)   FEE LETTER FEES. As and when due and payable under the

Default has occurred or is continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay
such fees, expenses, and charges for more than 5 Examiner-Days during any
12-month period; (ii) a fee of $1,500 per day per appraiser, plus out-of-pocket
expenses, for each appraisal of the Collateral performed by personnel employed

occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Lender
for the costs and expenses of more than 8 audit days in any 12 consecutive month
period.

      2.12  LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of each of the
Borrowers (each, an "L/C") or to purchase participations or execute indemnities
or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C Undertaking") with
respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing
Date, such issuing bank to be Wells Fargo) for the account of each of the
Borrowers. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C Undertaking (or the
amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C or L/C Undertaking), the
applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if


                                       40
<PAGE>
arrangements for doing so have been approved by Lender) to Lender (reasonably in
advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a
notice requesting the issuance of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the
L/C or L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C
Undertaking is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name

Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the
requested Letter of Credit:

                  (i)   the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing
            Base less the aggregate amount of all outstanding Advances made to
            or for the account of Borrowers, or

                  (ii)  the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum L/C
            Amount, or

                  (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum
            Revolver Amount less the then extant aggregate amount of all
            outstanding Advances.

            Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of
Credit) shall have an expiry date no later than 30 days prior to the Renewal
Date or, during any Renewal Term, the next succeeding anniversary of the Renewal
Date, and all such Letters of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of
Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender (in the exercise of
its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable
thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Lender is obligated to advance funds
under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C
Disbursement to Lender by paying to Lender an amount equal to such L/C
Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such
L/C Disbursement is made, if the applicable Borrower shall have received written
or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California
time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the applicable
Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m.,
California time, on the Business Day that the applicable Borrower receives such
notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the
date of receipt, and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement
immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and,
thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are
Base Rate Loans under Section 2.6. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed
to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers' obligation to reimburse such L/C
Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance.

                  (b)   Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend,
and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and
reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection
with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be
obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that
is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Each Borrower
agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's regulations and interpretations of
any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Lender's interpretations of any L/C issued
by Lender to or for such Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may
be different from such Borrower's own, and each Borrower understands and agrees
that Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether
of omission or commission, in following Borrowers' instructions or those
contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or
supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may
require Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or
liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer.
Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Lender harmless
with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees),
or liability incurred by Lender under any L/C Undertaking as a result of
Lender's indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no
Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense,
or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Lender.

                  (c)   Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any
Underlying Issuer to deliver to Lender all instruments, documents, and other
writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such
Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Lender's instructions
with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of
Credit and the related application.

                  (d)   Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs
incurred by Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender
Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by
Borrowers to Lender for the account of Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed
by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by
the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the face amount of
each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from
time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges
for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.

                  (e)   If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable law,
treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application
thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying
Issuer or Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of
whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary
authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to
time in effect (and any successor thereto):

                  (i)   any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall
            be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued
            hereunder, or


                                       42
<PAGE>
                  (ii)  there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or
            Lender any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit
            or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost
to Lender of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by Lender, then, and in
any such case, Lender may, at any time within a reasonable period after the
additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers,
and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Lender may specify to be
necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt,
together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment
in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The
determination by Lender of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth
in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail,
shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all of the parties hereto.

      2.13  LIBOR OPTION.

                  (a)   INTEREST AND INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. In lieu of having
interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the
option (the "LIBOR Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances
be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in
consequence of which Lender has elected to accelerate the maturity of the
Obligations, (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof,
or (iv) the first day of each month that such LIBOR Rate Loan is outstanding. On
the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the applicable Borrower
properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of
interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any
time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no
longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at the LIBOR
Rate and Lender shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all
outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans
hereunder.

                  (b)   LIBOR ELECTION.

                  (i)   Each Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so
            long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to
            exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Lender prior to 11:00 a.m.
            (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement
            of the proposed Interest Period (the "LIBOR Deadline"). Notice of
            the applicable Borrower's election of the LIBOR Option for a
            permitted portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to
            this Section shall be made by delivery to Lender of a LIBOR Notice
            received by Lender before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic
            notice received by Lender before the LIBOR Deadline (to be


                                       43
<PAGE>
            confirmed by delivery to Lender of a LIBOR Notice received by Lender
            prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day).

                  (ii)  Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on
            Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower
            shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless against any loss,
            cost, or expense incurred by Lender as a result of (a) the payment
            of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day
            of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of
            an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan
            other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
            thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay
            any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice
            delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses,
            collectively, "Funding Losses"). Funding Losses shall be deemed to
            equal the amount determined by Lender to be the excess, if any, of
            (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal
            amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the
            LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period
            from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
            Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
            convert, or continue, for the period that would have been the
            Interest Period therefor), minus (ii) the amount of interest that
            would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
            interest rate which Lender would be offered were it to be offered,
            at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable
            amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of
            Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts
            that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be
            conclusive absent manifest error.

                  (iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in
            effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR
            Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $500,000 and integral
            multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

                  (c)   PREPAYMENTS. Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at
any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid
on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required
application by Lender of proceeds of Collections in accordance with Section
2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this
Agreement or acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each
Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender and its Participants harmless
against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above.

                  (d)   SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LIBOR RATE.


                                       44
<PAGE>
                  (i)   The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Lender on a
            prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased
            costs to Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits
            or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring
            subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest
            Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general
            applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the
            reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the
            Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve
            Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the
            cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any
            such event, Lender shall give Borrowers notice of such a
            determination and adjustment and, upon their receipt of the notice
            from Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to Lender (y) require Lender
            to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for
            adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount
            of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect
            to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due
            under clause (b)(ii) above).

                  (ii)  In the event that any change in market conditions or any
            law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in
            the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after
            the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, make it
            unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR
            Advances or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine
            or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, Lender shall give notice
            of such changed circumstances to Borrowers and (y) in the case of
            any LIBOR Rate Loans that are outstanding, the date specified in
            Lender's notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest
            Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate
            Loans thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable
            to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect
            the LIBOR Option until Lender determines that it would no longer be
            unlawful or impractical to do so.

                  (e)   NO REQUIREMENT OF MATCHED FUNDING. Anything to the
contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Lender, nor any of its
Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or
otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR
Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if Lender or its
Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at
the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the
amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.

      2.14  CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. If, after the date hereof, Lender reasonably
determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or
guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by Lender
or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request, or directive of
any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or


                                       45
<PAGE>
not having the force of law), the effect of reducing the return on Lender's or
such holding company's capital as a consequence of Lender's obligations
hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such holding company could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration
Lender's or such holding company's then existing policies with respect to
capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by
any amount reasonably deemed by Lender to be material, then Lender may notify
Borrowers thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay
Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when
such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by
Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail
Lender's calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was
based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error).
In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

Lender to make all Advances (or to extend any other credit hereunder) shall be
subject to the following conditions precedent:

                  (a)   the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on
and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and
warranties relate solely to an earlier date),

                  (b)   no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result
from the making thereof,

                  (c)   no injunction, writ, restraining order, or other order
of any nature prohibiting, directly or indirectly, the extending of such credit
shall have been issued and remain in force by any Governmental Authority against
Guarantors or Borrowers, Lender, or any of their Affiliates.

                  (d)   no Material Adverse Change shall have occurred.

      3.4   TERM. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and
delivery hereof by Borrowers and Lender and shall continue in full force and
effect for a term ending on the date (the "Renewal Date") that is 4 years from
the Closing Date and automatically shall be renewed for successive 1 year
periods (each a "Renewal Period") thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant
to the terms hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers
may terminate this Agreement effective on the Renewal Date or on any 1 year
anniversary of the Renewal Date by giving Lender at least 45 days prior written
notice, and (b) Lender may terminate this Agreement (i) immediately and without
notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
and (ii) effective on the Renewal Date or on any 1 year anniversary of the
Renewal Date by giving Borrowers at least 120 days prior written notice;
provided, however, that if Lender gives Borrowers written notice less than 120
days and at least 45 days prior to the Renewal Date or any 1 year anniversary of
the Renewal Date, then Lender may terminate this Agreement effective on a date
that is not less than 120 days after the date such written notice is given to
Borrowers, nor more than 75 days after the Renewal Date or such 1 year
anniversary of the Renewal Date, as applicable.

      3.5   EFFECT OF TERMINATION. On the date of termination of this Agreement,
all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrowers
with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit) immediately shall become due and
payable without notice or demand. No termination of this Agreement, however,
shall relieve or discharge Borrowers


                                       50
<PAGE>
of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the Lender's Liens in
the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been fully and
finally discharged and Lender's obligations to provide additional credit
hereunder have been terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all
of the Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and Lender's
obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been
terminated irrevocably, Lender will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and
deliver any UCC termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases,
re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other
similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form)
as are necessary to release, as of record, the Lender's Liens and all notices of
security interests and liens previously filed by Lender with respect to the
Obligations.

      3.6   EARLY TERMINATION BY BORROWERS. The provisions of Section 3.4 that
allow termination of this Agreement by Borrowers only on the Renewal Date and
certain anniversaries thereof notwithstanding, Borrowers have the option, at any
time upon 90 days prior written notice to Lender, to terminate this Agreement
(in whole and not in part or as to less than all Borrowers) by paying to Lender,
in immediately available funds, the Obligations (including either (a) providing
cash collateral to be held by Lender in an amount equal to 105% of the then
extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (b) causing the original Letters of Credit to
be returned to Lender), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment
Premium. If Borrowers have sent a notice of termination pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, then Lender's obligations to extend credit hereunder
shall terminate and Borrowers shall be obligated to repay the Obligations
(including either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Lender in an
amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing
the original Letters of Credit to be returned to Lender), in full, together with
the Applicable Prepayment Premium, on the date set forth as the date of
termination of this Agreement in such notice. In the event of the termination of
this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations at any time prior to the Renewal
Date or, during any Renewal Term, the next succeeding anniversary of the Renewal
Date, for any other reason, including (A) termination upon the election of
Lender to terminate after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (B) foreclosure
and sale of Collateral, (C) sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding,
or (D) restructure, reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the
confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise,
restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, then, in view of the
impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of
damages to Lender or profits lost by Lender as a result of such early
termination, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable
estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of Lender, Borrowers
shall pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium to Lender, measured as of the date
of such termination.

4.    CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

      4.1   GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a
continuing security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in all
currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Personal Property
Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all of the Obligations
in accordance with the terms and conditions of


                                       51
<PAGE>
the Loan Documents and in order to secure prompt performance by each Borrower of
each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Lender's Liens in
and to the Personal Property Collateral shall attach to all Personal Property
Collateral without further act on the part of Lender or any Borrower. Anything
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, except for Asset Sales permitted under Section 7.4 of this
Agreement, Borrowers have no authority, express or implied, to dispose of any
item or portion of the Collateral.

      4.2   NEGOTIABLE COLLATERAL. In the event that any Collateral, including
proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, and if and to
the extent that perfection or priority of Lender's security interest is
dependent on or enhanced by possession, any Borrower, immediately upon the
request of Lender, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such
Negotiable Collateral to Lender.

      4.3   COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES, AND NEGOTIABLE
COLLATERAL. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, Lender or Lender's designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of
any Borrower that the Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles have been
assigned to Lender or that Lender has a security interest therein, or (b)
collect the Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly and charge
the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Each Borrower agrees that
it will hold in trust for Lender, as Lender's trustee, any Collections that it
receives and immediately will deliver said Collections to Lender in their
original form as received by any Borrower.

      4.4   DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED. At any time upon the
request of Lender, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, any and
all financing statements, original financing statements in lieu of continuation
statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments,
endorsements of certificates of title, and all other documents (the "Additional
Documents") that Lender may request in its Permitted Discretion, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and continue perfected or better
perfect the Lender's Liens in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter
arising or acquired), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Lender in any Real
Property acquired after the Closing Date, and in order to fully consummate all
of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower authorizes Lender
to execute any such Additional Documents in such Borrower's name and authorizes
Lender to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing
office. In addition, on such periodic basis as Lender shall reasonably require,
each Borrower shall (a) provide Lender with a report of all new patentable,
copyrightable, or trademarkable materials acquired or generated by such Borrower
during the prior period, (b) cause all patents, copyrights, and trademarks
acquired or generated by such Borrower that are not already the subject of a
registration with the appropriate filing office (or an application therefor
diligently prosecuted) to be registered with such appropriate filing office in a
manner sufficient to impart constructive notice of such Borrower's ownership
thereof, and (c) cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to


                                       52
<PAGE>
Lender supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such
patents, copyrights, and trademarks as being subject to the security interests
created thereunder.

      4.5   POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes,
constitutes, and appoints Lender (and any of Lender's officers, employees, or
agents designated by Lender) as each such Borrower's true and lawful attorney,
with power to (a) if such Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and
deliver any of the documents described in Section 4.4, sign the name of such
Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.4, (b) at any time that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sign such Borrower's name on
any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts against Account
Debtors, or notices to Account Debtors, (c) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, send requests for verification of Accounts,
(d) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
endorse such Borrower's name on any Collection item that may come into Lender's
possession, (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, make, settle, and adjust all claims under each such Borrower's
policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to
such policies of insurance, and (f) at any time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the
Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly with Account Debtors,
for amounts and upon terms that Lender determines to be reasonable, and Lender
may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Lender
determines to be necessary. The appointment of Lender as each Borrower's
attorney, and each and every one of its rights and powers, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and
finally repaid and performed and Lender's obligations to extend credit hereunder
are terminated.

      4.6   RIGHT TO INSPECT. Lender and its officers, employees, or agents
shall have the right, from time to time and during normal business hours
hereafter to inspect the Books and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral
in order to verify any Borrower's financial condition or the amount, quality,
value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

Borrowing Base Certificate, prepared on both a consolidated and consolidating
basis for the immediately preceding month. Parent and each Borrower agree that
no Subsidiary of Parent or any Borrower will have a fiscal year different from
that of Borrowers. Parent and each Borrower agree that their independent
certified public accountants are authorized to communicate with Lender and to
release to Lender whatever financial information concerning Parent and each
Borrower, and each of their respective Subsidiaries, as Lender reasonably may
request. Parent and each Borrower waive the right to assert a confidential
relationship, if any, each may have with any accounting firm or service bureau
in connection with any information requested by Lender pursuant to or in
accordance with this Agreement, and agree that Lender may contact directly any
such accounting firm or service bureau in order to obtain such information.

      6.4   GUARANTOR REPORTS. Cause any Guarantor of any of the Obligations to
deliver its annual financial statements at the time when Parent and each

working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply, in all
material respects, at all times with the provisions of all material leases to
which they are a party as lessee so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof
or thereunder. Other than those items of Equipment that constitute fixtures on
the Closing Date, Parent and Borrowers shall not permit, and shall not permit
their respective Subsidiaries to permit, any item of Equipment to become a
fixture to real estate or an accession to other property (other than accessions
to the Tunica Vessel) and such Equipment shall at all times remain personal
property. Upon Lender's request, Parent and Borrowers immediately shall deliver
to Lender, properly endorsed, any and all evidences of ownership of,
certificates of title to, or applications for title to any items of Equipment
(including, without limitation, the Tunica Vessel).

      6.7   TAXES. Cause all assessments and taxes, whether real, personal, or
otherwise, due or payable by, or imposed, levied, or assessed against Parent and
each Borrower, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any of their assets
to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension
period, except to the extent that the validity of such assessment or tax shall
be the subject of a Permitted Protest. Parent and each Borrower will make, and
will cause their respective Subsidiaries to make, timely payment or deposit of
all tax payments and withholding taxes required of them by applicable laws,
including those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local,
state, and federal income


                                       62
<PAGE>
taxes, and will, upon request, furnish Lender with proof satisfactory to Lender
indicating that Parent and each Borrower, and each of their respective
Subsidiaries, has made such payments or deposits. Parent and each Borrower shall
deliver satisfactory evidence of payment of applicable excise taxes in each
jurisdiction in which Parent and each Borrower, and each of their respective
Subsidiaries, is required to pay any such excise tax.

      6.8   INSURANCE.

                  (a)   At Parent's and each Borrower's, and each of their
respective Subsidiaries', expense, maintain insurance respecting their assets
wherever located, covering loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, and all
other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons
engaged in the same or similar businesses. Parent and each Borrower, and each of
their respective Subsidiaries, also shall maintain business interruption, public
liability, and product liability insurance, as well as insurance against
larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation.

                  (b)   At Parent's and each Borrower's expense, obtain and
maintain (i) insurance of the type necessary to insure the Real Property
Collateral, for the full replacement cost thereof, against any loss by fire,
lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, vehicle damage,
earthquakes, elevator collision, and other risks from time to time included
under "extended coverage" polices, in such amounts as Lender may reasonably
require, but in any event in amounts sufficient to prevent Parent and each
Borrower, and their respective Subsidiaries, from becoming a co-insurer under
such policies, (ii) combined single limit bodily injury and property damages
insurance against any loss, liability, or damages on, about, or relating to each
parcel of Real Property Collateral, in such amounts as may be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender; (iii) business rental insurance covering annual receipts
for a 12-month period for each parcel of Real Property Collateral; and (iv)
insurance for such other risks as Lender reasonably may require. Replacement
costs, at Lender's option, may be re-determined by an insurance appraiser,
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, not more frequently than once every 12 months
at each Borrower's expense.

                  (c)   All such policies of insurance shall be in such amounts
and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All
insurance required herein shall be written by companies which are authorized to
do insurance business in the state where Parent or the applicable Borrower, or
their respective Subsidiaries, has its chief executive office. All hazard
insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing
Lender as the loss payee thereof as its interest may appear. Every policy of
insurance referred to in this Section 6.8 shall contain an agreement by the
insurer that it will not cancel such policy except after 30 days prior written
notice to Lender (or, in the case of non-payment of premiums, 10 days) and that
any loss payable thereunder shall be payable to Lender as its interest may
appear notwithstanding any act or omission of any Borrower which might, absent
such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance. Each
Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of such policies of insurance
and evidence of the payment of all premiums therefor.


                                       63
<PAGE>
                  (d)   Parent and Borrowers shall give, and shall cause their
respective Subsidiaries to give, Lender prompt notice of any loss covered by
such insurance, and Lender shall have the right to adjust any loss in excess of
$1,000,000. Lender shall have the exclusive right to adjust all such losses
payable under any such insurance policies without any liability to Parent or
Borrowers, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, whatsoever in respect of
such adjustments. Any monies received as payment for any loss under any
insurance policy including the insurance policies mentioned above, shall be paid
over to Lender to be applied at the option of Lender either to the prepayment of
the Obligations without premium, in such order or manner as Lender may elect, or
shall be disbursed to Borrowers under staged payment terms satisfactory to
Lender for application to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations.
All repairs, replacements, or restorations shall be effected with reasonable
promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or
property destroyed prior to such damage or destruction. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to apply all prepaid premiums
to the payment of the Obligations in such order or form as Lender shall
determine.

                  (e)   Parent and each Borrower acknowledge and agree that
Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any insurance proceeds received by
Lender following the occurrence of a casualty loss to Parent or any Borrower, or
to any of their respective Subsidiaries, for the repair, replacement, or
restoration of the items of property damaged or destroyed.

                  (f)   Parent and each Borrower agree not take out, and shall
cause their respective Subsidiaries not to take out, separate insurance
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be
maintained under this Section 6.8, unless Lender is included thereon as named
insured with the loss payable to Lender under a lender's loss payable
endorsement or its equivalent. Parent and each Borrower immediately shall
notify, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to notify, Lender whenever
such separate insurance is taken out, specifying the insurer thereunder and full
particulars as to the policies evidencing the same, and copies of such policies
promptly shall be provided to Lender.

      6.9   LOCATION OF INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT. Keep the Inventory and
Equipment only at the locations identified on Schedule 5.5; provided, however,
that each Borrower may amend Schedule 5.5 so long as such amendment occurs by
written notice to Lender not less than 30 days prior to the date on which
Inventory or Equipment is moved to such new location, so long as such new
location is within the continental United States, and so long as, at the time of
such written notification, the applicable Borrower provides any financing
statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue perfected the
Lender's Liens on such assets and also provides to Lender a Collateral Access
Agreement.

      6.10  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Comply with the requirements of all applicable
laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, including
the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act, other than

Adverse Change.

subject of a Permitted Protest.

      6.12  BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Pay any and all brokerage commission or
finders fees incurred in connection with or as a result of Borrowers' obtaining
financing from Lender under this Agreement. Parent and each Borrower agree and
acknowledge, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to agree and
acknowledge, that payment of all such brokerage commissions or finders fees
shall be the sole responsibility of Parent and Borrowers, and each of their
respective Subisidiaries, and Parent and each Borrower agrees, and shall cause
each of their respective Subsidiaries to agree, to indemnify, defend, and hold
Lender harmless from and against any claim of any broker or finder arising out

information, exhibit, or report furnished to Lender contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to

      7.1   INDEBTEDNESS. Create, incur, assume, permit, guarantee, or otherwise
become or remain, directly or indirectly, liable with respect to any
Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness and except as permitted under
Section 7.6 hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower
may incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if (a) the
Borrowers' consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the Borrowers' most recently
ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are
available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness
is incurred would have been not less than 2.0:1.0, determined on a pro forma
basis (including the pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if
such additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such
four-quarter period, (b) the final stated maturity of such Indebtedness is after
the Renewal Date or, during any Renewal Term, the next succeeding anniversary of
the Renewal Date (except for Purchase Money Indebtedness, Capitalized Lease
Obligations, or Acquired Debt), and (c) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing at the time such Indebtedness is incurred, or would occur
after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such incurrence.

      7.2   LIENS. Create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, directly or
indirectly, any Lien on or with respect to any of their assets, of any kind,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom,
except for Permitted Liens (including Liens that are replacements of Permitted
Liens to the extent that the original Indebtedness is refinanced, renewed, or
extended under clause (j) of the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness" and so
long as the replacement Liens only encumber those assets that secured the
refinanced, renewed, or extended Indebtedness).

      7.3   RESTRICTIONS ON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES. Enter into any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, or reclassify their Stock,
or liquidate, wind up, or dissolve themselves (or suffer any liquidation or
dissolution), or convey, sell, assign, lease, transfer, or otherwise dispose of,
in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of
their property or assets; provided, however, that:


                                       67
<PAGE>
                  (a)   a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a
merger or consolidation so long as:

                  (i)   such Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
            applicable, is the surviving Person;

                  (ii)  immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a
            pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default exists;

                  (iii) such transaction would not result in the loss or
            suspension or material impairment of any Gaming License unless a
            comparable replacement Gaming License is effective prior to or
            simultaneously with such loss, suspension, or material impairment;

                  (iv)  (i) such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary has
            Consolidated Net Worth (immediately after the transaction but prior
            to any purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the
            transaction) equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of
            such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, immediately
            preceding such transaction, and (ii) Borrowers, on a consolidated

            on terms that are no less favorable to such Borrower or the relevant

            comparable transaction at such time by such Borrower or Restricted
            Subsidiary on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an
            Affiliate of such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary and (B) prior to

            less favorable to such Borrower or the relevant Restricted
            Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable
            transaction at such time by such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary
            on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of
            such Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary and (B) prior to entering
            into such transaction such Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a
            certificate from an officer of such Borrower certifying to such
            effect; or

      7.20  FINANCIAL COVENANTS.

                  (a)   Fail to maintain:

                  (i)   MINIMUM EBITDA. EBITDA of Borrowers, measured as of the

      7.22  PERMITTED TAX DISTRIBUTIONS.

                  (a)   Notwithstanding Section 7.11, Parent and each Borrower,
at its option, may declare and pay Permitted Tax Distributions to its Equity
Holders; provided, that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of any such Permitted Tax Distribution or would result
therefrom, (ii) prior to the payment of any such Permitted Tax Distribution,
Parent or each such Borrower (as the case may be) shall provide Lender with a
certificate from an officer of Parent and/or such Borrower and an opinion of
counsel to the effect that Parent, such Borrower and each Subsidiary of such
Borrower in respect of which such Permitted Tax Distributions are being made,
qualify as Flow Through Entities for federal income tax purposes and for the
states in respect of which such distributions are being made, and (iii) at the
time of any such Permitted Tax Distribution, the most recent audited financial
statements of such Borrower provided to Lender pursuant to Section 6.3 provide
that such Borrower and each such Subsidiary were treated as Flow Through
Entities for the period of such financial statements.

                  (b)   Estimated tax distributions shall be made within thirty
days following March 15, May 15, August 15, and December 15 based upon an
estimate of the excess of (x) the tax distributions that would be payable for
the period beginning on January 1 of such year and ending on March 15, May 15,
August 15, and December 15 if such period were a taxable year (computed as
provided above) over (y) distributions attributable to all prior periods during
such taxable year. The excess of the Permitted Tax Distributions for a taxable
year over the amounts previously distributed as estimated tax distributions may
be distributed to Equity Holders within thirty days of the date on which
Borrower has filed its federal income tax return with respect to such taxable
years. To the extent that the estimated tax distributions previously paid to an
Equity Holder in respect of any taxable year are greater than the Permitted Tax
Distributions for such year, such excess shall be treated for all purposes of
this Agreement as if distributed as an estimated tax distribution on March 15 of
the next succeeding year for the purpose of determining amounts permitted to be
distributed in such succeeding taxable year.

<PAGE>
                  (c)   The amount of the Permitted Tax Distributions shall be
re-computed promptly after (i) the filing by each Borrower of its annual tax
return, and (ii) the appropriate Federal or state taxing authority finally
determines that the amount of the items of taxable income, gain, deduction, or
loss of such Borrower which affected the calculation of the Permitted Tax
Distributions for any year should be changed or adjusted, including the
determination that such Borrower or any other entity is not a Flow Through
Entity (a "Tax Calculation Event"). In the event of a Tax Calculation Event, the
amount by which the Permitted Tax Distributions would have been reduced had they
been calculated in accordance with the Tax Calculation Event (an
"Overdistribution") shall offset the amounts permitted to be distributed through
the next two successive estimated tax payment dates (and such amounts permitted
to be distributed shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, treated as if
distributed to Equity Holders and used to repay the Overdistribution). If the
amount of any Overdistribution has not been repaid in full by the end of the
second estimated tax payment date following the Tax Calculation Event, such
Borrower will use its best efforts to collect the remaining Overdistribution
Amount from the Equity Holders. If following a Tax Calculation Event, the amount
by which the Permitted Tax Distributions would have been increased had they been
calculated in accordance with the Tax Calculation Event (an
"Underdistribution"), the amount of such Underdistribution shall be distributed
to Equity Holders within 90 days of the date of the Tax Calculation Event.

                  (d)   Prior to making any estimated tax distribution, each
Borrower or Parent, as the case may be, shall require each Equity Holder to
agree to make any payment required under Section 7.22(c) hereof.

                  (e)   To the extent that any tax distribution would otherwise
be made to any Equity Holder at a time when an obligation of such Equity Holder
to make a payment to a Borrower or Parent pursuant to Section 7.22(c) remains
outstanding, the amount of any tax distribution to be made shall be reduced by
the amounts such Equity Holder is obligated to pay such Borrower or Parent.

      7.23  RESTRICTIONS ON SALE AND ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK. Sell, nor
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue or sell, any Stock (other than
directors" qualifying shares) of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person other
than a Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such Borrower; provided, that
such Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may sell all (but not less than
all) of the capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary owned by such Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries if the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale are used in
accordance with the terms of Section 7.4 hereof.

      7.24  MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS. Authorize or issue certificates evidencing the
membership interests in each Borrowers.

      7.25  LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS. Directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any
encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:


                                       76
<PAGE>
                  (a)   pay dividends or make any other distributions to a
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) on such Restricted
Subsidiary's capital Stock or (ii) with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, such Restricted Subsidiary's profits, or

                  (b)   pay any Indebtedness owed to a Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, or

                  (c)   make loans or advances to a Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, or

                  (d)   transfer any of its assets to a Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries,

            except, with respect to clauses (a) through (d) above, for such
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

                  (i)   this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

                  (ii)  the Senior Note Documents;

                  (iii) applicable law;

                  (iv)  Acquired Debt; provided, that such encumbrances and
            restrictions are not applicable to any Person, or the properties or
            assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or
            assets of the Person, so acquired;

                  (v)   customary non-assignment and net worth provisions of any
            contract, lease or license entered into in the ordinary course of
            business;

                  (vi)  customary restrictions on the transfer of assets subject
            to a Permitted Lien imposed by the holder of such Lien; and

                  (vii) the agreements governing permitted refinancing
            Indebtedness; provided, that such restrictions contained in any
            agreement governing such refinancing Indebtedness are no more
            restrictive than those contained in any agreements governing the
            Indebtedness being refinanced.

<PAGE>
have accrued on such amounts), fees and charges due Lender, reimbursement of

neglect of any Borrower or any Guarantor referred to in this Section 8.2 exist,
even if such failure or neglect is not yet an Event of Default by virtue of the
existence of a grace or cure period or the pre-condition of the giving of a
notice, Lender shall not be required to make Advances (or otherwise extend
credit) hereunder;

      8.3   If any material portion of any Guarantor's or Borrower's, or any of

accepted full liability) is or are entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
against Guarantors or Borrowers, or any of their Subsidiaries, and such judgment
or judgments remain undischarged, unbonded, or unstayed for a period of 60 days
after entry; provided, that the aggregate amount of all such judgments exceeds
$5,000,000;

      8.9   If there is a default in one or more agreements to which any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relative to Indebtedness of such
Borrower or Subsidiary involving an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or more or
any other material agreement to which any Guarantor or Borrower, or any of their
Subsidiaries, is a party with one or more third Persons, and, in either case,
such default (a) occurs at the final maturity of the obligations thereunder, or
(b) results in a right by the other party thereto, irrespective of whether
exercised, to accelerate the maturity of such Guarantor's or Borrower's, or
their respective Subsidiaries' obligations thereunder, to terminate such
agreement, or to refuse to renew such agreement pursuant to an automatic renewal
right therein;

      8.10  If a Guarantor or Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries,

subordination provisions applicable to such Indebtedness;

      8.11  If any misstatement or misrepresentation exists now or hereafter in
any warranty, representation, statement, or Record made to Lender by any
Guarantor or Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any officer,
employee, agent, or director of any Guarantor or Borrower, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries;

      8.12  If the obligation of any Guarantor under its guaranty or other third

and, except to the extent


                                       79
<PAGE>
permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority Lien on or security

own, operate, or otherwise conduct or manage their businesses, including the
riverboat, dockside or land-based gaming activities and any other location where
Guarantors and Borrowers conduct such business; or

      8.18  If there is a Material Adverse Change.

9.    LENDER'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

      9.1   RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuation, of an Event of Default, Lender (at its election but without notice
of its election and without demand) may do any one or more of the following, all
of which are authorized by Parent and Borrowers, and their respective
Subsidiaries:

                  (a)   Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable;

                  (b)   Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or
under any other agreement between Borrowers and Lender;


                                       80
<PAGE>
                  (c)   Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents as to any future liability or obligation of Lender, but without
affecting any of the Lender's Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the
Obligations;

                  (d)   Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Lender considers advisable, and
in such cases, Lender will credit Borrowers' Loan Accounts with only the net
amounts received by Lender in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting
all Lender Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;

                  (e)   Without notice to or demand upon Borrowers or any
Guarantor make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Borrowers agree
to assemble the Personal Property Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make
the Personal Property Collateral available to Lender at a place that Lender may
designate which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Borrowers authorize
Lender to enter the premises where the Personal Property Collateral is located,
to take and maintain possession of the Personal Property Collateral, or any part
of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in Lender's
determination appears to conflict with the Lender's Liens and to pay all
expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge each Borrower's Loan
Account therefor. With respect to any of Borrowers' owned or leased premises,
Borrowers hereby grant Lender a license to enter into possession of such
premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of
Lender's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

                  (f)   Without notice to Borrowers (such notice being expressly
waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction
of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the
Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers held by Lender,
or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrowers held by Lender;

                  (g)   Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and
deposits of Borrowers held by Lender to secure the full and final repayment of
all of the Obligations;

                  (h)   Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
herein) the Personal Property Collateral. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a
license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers' labels, patents,
copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and
advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the
Personal Property Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale,
and selling any Personal Property Collateral and Borrowers' rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender's benefit;

                  (i)   Sell the Personal Property Collateral at either a public
or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for
cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including each Borrower's
premises) as Lender determines is


                                       81
<PAGE>
commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Personal Property
Collateral be present at any such sale;

                  (j)   Lender shall give notice of the disposition of the
Personal Property Collateral as follows:

                  (i)   Lender shall give Borrowers a notice in writing of the
            time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or
            some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the
            Personal Property Collateral, then the time on or after which the
            private sale or other disposition is to be made; and

                  (ii)  The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed,
            postage prepaid, to Borrowers as provided in Section 12, at least 10
            days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the
            notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any
            portion of the Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or
            threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type
            customarily sold on a recognized market;

                  (k)   Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
and

                  (l)   Lender may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper
to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to operate same
and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a
receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing;

                  (m)   Lender shall have all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document;

                  (n)   Parent and Borrowers, and each of their Subsidiaries,
agree that, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and at Lender's request, Parent and Borrowers will, and will cause each
of their Restricted Subsidiaries to (and, by its execution and delivery of a
Guaranty or a joinder thereto, each of Borrowers' Restricted Subsidiaries agrees
to), immediately file such applications for approval and shall take all other
and further actions required by Lender to obtain such approvals or consents of
regulatory authorities as are necessary to transfer ownership and control to
Lender, of the Gaming Licenses held by it, or its interest in any Person holding
any such Gaming License. To enforce the provisions of this Section 9.1(n),
Lender is empowered to request the appointment of a receiver from any court of
competent jurisdiction. Such receiver shall be instructed to seek from the
applicable Gaming Authority an involuntary transfer of control of any Gaming
License for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom control will
ultimately be transferred. Parent and Borrowers hereby agree to authorize, and
to cause each of their Restricted Subsidiaries to authorize (and, by its
execution and delivery of a Guaranty or a joinder thereto, each Restricted
Subsidiary of Parent and Borrowers agrees to authorize) such an involuntary
transfer of control upon the request of the receiver so appointed and, if
Parent, Borrowers or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall refuse to authorize
the transfer, its


                                       82
<PAGE>
approval may be required by the court. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, Parent and Borrowers shall further use, and shall cause their
Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to assist in obtaining
approval of the applicable Gaming Authority, if required, for any action or
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including,
preparation, execution, and filing with the applicable Gaming Authority of the
assignor's or transferor's portion of any application or applications for
consent to the assignment of any Gaming License or transfer of control necessary
or appropriate under the applicable Gaming Authority's rules and regulations for
approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the Collateral,
together with any Gaming License or other authorization. Parent and Borrowers
acknowledge that the assignment or transfer of Gaming Licenses is integral to
Lender's realization of the value of the Collateral, that there is no adequate
remedy at law for failure by Parent and Borrowers to comply with the provisions
of this Section 9.1(n) and that such failure would not be adequately compensable
in damages, and therefore agree that the agreements contained in this Section
9.1(n) may be specifically enforced; and

                  (o)   Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Personal Property Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by
Parent and Borrowers. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject
to the rights of third Persons, by Lender to Borrowers.

All rights, remedies, and powers provided in this Agreement relative to the
Collateral may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does
not violate any applicable mandatory provision of the applicable gaming laws,
rules, and regulations enacted by the applicable Gaming Authority (the
"Applicable Gaming Laws") or the Liquor Laws and all provisions of this
Agreement relative to the Collateral are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of the Applicable Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws
and to be limited solely to the extent necessary to not render the provisions of
this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. Lender will timely
apply for and receive all required approvals of the applicable Gaming Authority
for the sale or other disposition of gaming Equipment regulated by Applicable
Gaming Laws (including any such sale or disposition of gaming Equipment
consisting of slot machines, gaming tables, cards, dice, gaming chips, player
tracking systems, and all other "gaming devices" (as such term or words of like
import referring thereto are defined in the Applicable Gaming Laws), and
"associated equipment" (as such term or words of like import referring thereto
are defined in the Applicable Gaming Laws) and of the Liquor Authorities under
Applicable Liquor Laws for the sale of liquor and other alcoholic beverages.

      9.2   REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of Lender under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be
cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent
herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender
of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of
any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender
shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.


                                       83
<PAGE>
10.   TAXES AND EXPENSES.

            If Parent or any Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets,
rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails
to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Lender, in its Permitted
Discretion and without prior notice to Borrowers or any Guarantor, may do any or
all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set
up such reserves in each Borrower's Loan Account as Lender deems necessary to
protect Lender from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case of
the failure to comply with Section 6.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance
policies of the type described in Section 6.8 and take any action with respect
to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Lender shall
constitute Lender Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an
agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender
of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Lender need not inquire as to, or
contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the
usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that
the same was validly due and owing.

11.   WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

      11.1  DEMAND; PROTEST. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment,
nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal
of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by
Lender on which such Borrower may in any way be liable.

      11.2  LENDER'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. Each Borrower hereby agrees that
(absent any gross negligence and willful misconduct of Lender while Lender is in
possession of the Collateral): (a) so long as Lender complies with its
obligations, if any, under the Code, Lender shall not in any way or manner be
liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss
or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause,
(iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any
carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all
risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by
Borrowers.

      11.3  INDEMNIFICATION. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and
hold the Lender-Related Persons, each Participant, and each of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an
"Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and
against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations,
proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements
and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and
when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time
asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection
with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance, or administration of this


                                       84
<PAGE>
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or
proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the
proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any
Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or
circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding,
Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section
11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any
Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with
respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to
indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person
making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers
with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO
EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE
OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

14.   ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

      14.1  ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.


                                       87
<PAGE>
                  (a)   Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees
(each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations and the
other rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents; provided, however, that Borrowers may continue to deal solely and
directly with Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee
until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions,
addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given
to Borrowers by Lender and the Assignee, and (ii) Lender and its Assignee have
delivered to Borrowers an appropriate assignment and acceptance agreement.

                  (b)   From and after the date that Lender provides Borrowers
with such written notice and executed assignment and acceptance agreement, (i)
the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment
and acceptance agreement, shall have the assigned and delegated rights and
obligations of Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Lender shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such assignment and
acceptance agreement, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3
hereof) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the
case of an assignment and acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such
assignment shall affect a novation between Borrowers and the Assignee.

                  (c)   Immediately upon Borrowers' receipt of such fully
executed assignment and acceptance agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to
be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the rights and duties
of Lender arising therefrom.

                  (d)   Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial
banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of such Lender (a
"Participant") participating interests in the Obligations and the other rights
and interests of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) Lender shall remain the "Lender" for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the
participating interest in the Obligations and the other rights and interests of
Lender shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents and Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) Borrowers and Lender shall continue to deal solely and
directly with each other in connection with Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) Lender shall not
transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the
right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment
to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan
Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder
in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate
applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (C) release all or a material portion of the Collateral or


                                       88
<PAGE>
guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan
Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the
interest or fees payable to such Participant through Lender, or (E) change the
amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or
premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined
as if Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared
or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as
Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be
derivative through Lender and no Participant shall have any rights under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to Borrowers, the
Collections, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No
Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of
decisions by Lender.

                  (e)   In connection with any such assignment or participation
or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may disclose all documents and
information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers or
Borrowers' businesses.

                  (f)   Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding,
Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any
portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank
or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank
may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under
applicable law. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, no such pledge
shall relieve Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

      14.2  SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however,
that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder
without Lender's prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be
absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by Lender shall release
Borrowers from their Obligations. Lender may assign this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to
Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.1
hereof, no consent or approval by Borrowers is required in connection with any
such assignment.

15.   AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

      15.1  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by Lender (or, if Lender has assigned a portion of the
Obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 14.1(a) hereof, lenders holding more
than 50% of the outstanding Obligations) and


                                       89
<PAGE>
Borrowers and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

      15.2  NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by Lender to exercise
any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
delay by Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No
waiver by Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the
extent specifically stated. No waiver by Lender on any occasion shall affect or
diminish Lender's rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers
of any provision of this Agreement. Lender's rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or
remedy that Lender may have.

16.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      16.1  EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective
when executed by Parent, Borrowers and Lender.

      16.2  SECTION HEADINGS. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein
for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context,
everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

      16.3  INTERPRETATION. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or
ambiguity herein shall be construed against Lender or Borrowers, whether under
any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been
reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the
ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and
intentions of all parties hereto.

      16.4  SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement shall
be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

      16.5  WITHHOLDING TAXES. All payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under
any note will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense, except as
required by applicable law other than for Taxes (as defined below). All such
payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction
(other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with respect to
such payments (but excluding, any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured by or
based on the net income or net profits of Lender, or (ii) to the extent that
such tax results from a change in the circumstances of Lender, including a
change in the residence, place of organization, or principal place of business
of Lender, or a change in the branch or lending office of Lender participating
in the transactions set forth herein) and all interest, penalties or similar
liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
"Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed,


                                       90
<PAGE>
Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional
amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this
Agreement or under any note, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section
16.5 after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be
less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers
shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Lender if the
increase in such amount payable results from Lender's own willful misconduct or
gross negligence. Borrowers will furnish to Lender as promptly as possible after
the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified
copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrowers.

      16.6  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

      16.7  COUNTERPARTS; TELEFACSIMILE EXECUTION. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be
an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and
the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis
mutandis.

      16.8  REVIVAL AND REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If the incurrence or
payment of the Obligations by Borrowers or any Guarantor, or the transfer to
Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void
or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights,
including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances,
preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of
property (collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if Lender is required to
repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to
do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable
Transfer, or the amount thereof that Lender is required or elects to repay or
restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lender
related thereto, the liability of Borrowers and each Guarantor automatically
shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such
Voidable Transfer had never been made.

      16.9  INTEGRATION. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by
any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

                         [Signature page to follow.]
