Periods in respect of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any one time. Unless
otherwise consented to by Agents in their sole discretion, prior to the earlier
of (x) five days after the Closing Date, and (y) the date on which Borrower has
been notified by Lead Arranger that the primary syndication of the Commitments
has been completed, no borrowing of any LIBOR Loan may be made, and, in addition
to the foregoing limitation, prior to the earlier of (x) thirty days after the
Closing Date and (y) the date on which Borrower has been notified by Lead
Arranger that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed, no

                  SECTION 2.02. Borrowings. Borrower shall give Collateral Agent
notice of each borrowing hereunder as provided in Section 4.05 in the form of a
Notice of Borrowing. Not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the date
specified for each borrowing hereunder, each Lender shall make available the
amount of the Loan or Loans to be made by it on such date to Collateral Agent by
wiring the Loan proceeds to such account as may be designated by Borrower, in
immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. Each borrowing of
Revolving Loans shall be made by each Revolving Lender pro rata based on its R/C
Percentage. The amounts so received by Collateral Agent shall, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Bor-

                                      -35-


rower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of
Borrower maintained with Collateral Agent at the Principal Office designated by
Borrower.

                  SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Revolving Commitment may be utilized, upon the request of
Borrower, in addition to the Revolving Loans provided for by Section 2.01(a),
for standby and commercial documentary letters of credit (herein collectively
called "Letters of Credit") issued by L/C Lender for the account of any Credit
Party (provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant (and jointly and severally
liable) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any
Subsidiary); provided, however, that in no event shall (i) the aggregate amount
of all L/C Liabilities, plus the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving
Loans then outstanding, exceed at any time the Revolving Commitments as in
effect at such time, (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving
Loans then outstanding made by any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender's R/C
Percentage of the aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities exceed such Lender's
Revolving Commitment as in effect at such time, (iii) the outstanding aggregate
amount of all L/C Liabilities exceed $4.0 million, (iv) the face amount of any
Letter of Credit be less than $100,000, (v) the expiration date of any Letter of
Credit extend beyond the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day preceding the R/C
Maturity Date and (y) the date twelve months following the date of such issuance
for standby Letters of Credit or 180 days after the date of such issuance for
commercial documentary Letters of Credit, unless the Majority Revolving Lenders
have approved such expiry date in writing (but never beyond the fifth Business
Day prior to the R/C Maturity Date); provided, however, that any standby Letter
of Credit may be automatically extendible for periods of up to one year (but
never beyond the fifth Business Day preceding the R/C Maturity Date) so long as
such Letter of Credit provides that L/C Lender retains an option satisfactory to
L/C Lender to terminate such Letter of Credit prior to each extension date,
unless all of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing,
(vi) L/C Lender issue any Letter of Credit after it has received notice from
Borrower or the Majority Revolving Lenders stating that a Default exists until
such time as L/C Lender shall have received written notice of (x) rescission of
such notice from the Majority Revolving Lenders, (y) waiver of such Default in
accordance with this Agreement or (z) the Lead Arranger's good faith
determination that such Default has ceased to exist, or (vii) a commercial
letter of credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars nor at a tenor other
than sight. The following additional provisions shall apply to Letters of
Credit:

                  (a) Borrower shall give Collateral Agent at least three
         Business Days' irrevocable prior notice (effective upon receipt)
         pursuant to a Letter of Credit application satisfactory to L/C Lender
         specifying the date (which shall be no later than thirty days preceding
         the R/C Maturity Date) each Letter of Credit is to be issued and
         describing in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of
         Credit (including the beneficiary thereof) (including whether such
         Letter of Credit is to be a commercial Letter of Credit or a standby
         Letter of Credit). Upon receipt of any such notice, Collateral Agent
         shall advise L/C Lender of the contents thereof. Each Lender hereby
         authorizes L/C Lender to issue, and perform its obligations under,
         Letters of Credit. Letters of Credit shall be issued in accordance with
         the customary procedures of L/C Lender, which may include an
         application for Letters of Credit but which application shall not
         contain any operating or financial covenants or any provisions
         inconsistent with this Agreement. L/C Lender may refuse to issue any
         Letter of Credit the contents of which are not reasonably satisfactory
         to it. If there is any conflict between the proce-
<PAGE>
                                      -36-


         dures or any Letter of Credit application required by L/C Lender and
         this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

                  (b) On each day during the period commencing with the issuance
         by L/C Lender of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit
         shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitment of each
         Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes hereof
         in an amount equal to such Lender's R/C Percentage of the then undrawn
         face amount of such Letter of Credit plus the amount of any
         unreimbursed drawings thereunder. Each Revolving Lender (other than L/C
         Lender) severally agrees that, upon the issuance of any Letter of
         Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire a participation in L/C
         Lender's obligation to fund drawings and rights under such Letter of
         Credit in an amount equal to such Lender's R/C Percentage of such
         obligations and rights, and each Revolving Lender (other than L/C
         Lender) thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
         assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be
         unconditionally obligated to L/C Lender to pay and discharge when due,
         its R/C Percentage of L/C Lender's obligation to fund drawings under
         such Letter of Credit. L/C Lender shall be deemed to hold a L/C
         Liability in an amount equal to its retained interest in the related
         Letter of Credit after giving effect to such acquisition by the
         Revolving Lenders other than L/C Lender of their participation
         interests.

                  (c) In the event that L/C Lender has determined to honor a
         drawing under a Letter of Credit, L/C Lender shall promptly notify
         Borrower (through Collateral Agent) of the amount paid by L/C Lender
         and the date on which payment is to be made to such beneficiary.
         Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse L/C Lender
         for the amount of payment under such Letter of Credit, together with
         interest thereon at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin
         applicable to Revolving Loans from the date payment was made to such
         beneficiary to the date on which payment is due, not later than the
         next Business Day after the date on which Borrower receives such notice
         from L/C Lender (or the second Business Day thereafter if such notice
         is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 11:00 a.m.
         New York City time on a Business Day). Any such payment due from
         Borrower and not paid on the required date shall bear interest at rates
         specified in Section 3.02(b).

                  (d) Promptly upon its receipt of a notice referred to in
         clause (c) of this Section 2.03, Borrower shall advise L/C Lender
         whether or not Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its
         obligation to reimburse L/C Lender for the amount of the related demand
         for payment and, if it does, submit a notice of such borrowing as
         provided in Section 4.05. In the event that Borrower fails to so advise
         Collateral Agent, or if Borrower fails to reimburse L/C Lender for a
         demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the next Business Day
         after the date of such notice, Collateral Agent shall give each
         Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the demand for payment,
         specifying such Lender's R/C Percentage of the amount of the related
         demand for payment.

                  (e) Each Revolving Lender (other than L/C Lender) shall pay to
         Collateral Agent for account of L/C Lender at the Principal Office in
         Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's
         R/C Percentage of any payment under a Letter of Credit upon not less
         than one Business Day's actual notice by L/C Lender (through Collateral
         Agent) to

<PAGE>
                                      -37-



         such Revolving Lender requesting such payment and specifying such
         amount. Subject to the proviso to the last paragraph of this
         Section 2.03, each such Revolving Lender's obligation to make such
         payments to Collateral Agent for the account of L/C Lender under this
         clause (e), and L/C Lender's right to receive the same, shall be
         absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
         circumstance whatsoever, including (i) the failure of any other
         Revolving Lender to make its payment under this clause (e), (ii) the
         financial condition of Borrower or the existence of any Default or
         (iii) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to L/C
         Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
         reduction whatsoever.

                  (f) Upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to
         L/C Lender pursuant to clause (e) above in respect of any Letter of
         Credit, such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action
         on the part of Collateral Agent, L/C Lender or such Lender, acquire (i)
         a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement
         Obligation owing to L/C Lender by Borrower hereunder and under the L/C
         Documents relating to such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in
         a percentage equal to such Lender's R/C Percentage in any interest or
         other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder and under such L/C
         Documents in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. Upon receipt by
         L/C Lender from or for the account of Borrower of any payment in
         respect of any Reimbursement Obligation or any such interest or other
         amounts (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds of any
         collateral security) L/C Lender shall promptly pay to Collateral Agent
         for the account of each Revolving Lender which has satisfied its
         obligations under clause (e) above, such Revolving Lender's R/C
         Percentage of such payment, each such payment by L/C Lender to be made
         in Dollars. In the event any payment received by L/C Lender and so paid
         to the Revolving Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be
         returned by L/C Lender, each Revolving Lender shall, upon the request
         of L/C Lender (through Collateral Agent), repay to L/C Lender (through
         Collateral Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Lender, with
         interest at the rate specified in clause (i) of this Section 2.03.

                  (g) Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent for the account of
         L/C Lender in respect of each Letter of Credit a letter of credit
         commission in an amount (not less than $500) equal to (x) the rate per
         annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR
         Loans in effect from time to time, multiplied by (y) the daily average
         undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and
         including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case
         of a Letter of Credit which expires in accordance with its terms, to
         and including such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of
         Credit which is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on
         the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to but excluding
         the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated, such
         fee to be non-refundable and to be paid in arrears quarterly, on each
         Quarterly Date, and on the earlier of the R/C Maturity Date or the date
         of the termination of the Revolving Commitment or the date of such
         termination, expiration or the Business Day subsequent to notice of a
         drawing. L/C Lender shall pay to Collateral Agent for the account of
         each Revolving Lender (other than L/C Lender), from time to time at
         reasonable intervals (but in any event at least quarterly), but only to
         the extent actually received from Borrower, an amount equal to such
         Lender's R/C Percentage of all letter of credit commissions referred to
         in the first sentence of


<PAGE>
                                      -38-

         this clause (g). In addition, Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent
         for account of L/C Lender only in respect of each Letter of Credit a
         letter of credit issuance fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum
         multiplied by the original face amount from the issue date through the
         expiry date of such Letter of Credit (but in no event less than $500
         per Letter of Credit), such amount to be payable on the date of
         issuance of such Letter of Credit, plus all charges, costs and expenses
         in the amounts customarily charged by L/C Lender from time to time in
         like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer
         of each Letter of Credit and drawings and other transactions relating
         thereto.

                  (h) Upon the issuance of a standby Letter of Credit, L/C
         Lender shall deliver (through Collateral Agent) to each Revolving
         Lender a notice describing such standby Letter of Credit, and promptly
         following the end of each week, L/C Lender shall deliver (through
         Collateral Agent) to each Revolving Lender and Borrower a notice
         describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at
         the end of such week. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender from
         time to time, L/C Lender shall deliver any other information reasonably
         requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then
         outstanding.

                  (i) To the extent that any Revolving Lender fails to pay an
         amount required to be paid pursuant to clause (e) or (f) of this
         Section 2.03 on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest
         to L/C Lender (through Collateral Agent) on such amount from and
         including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made
         at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate (as in effect from
         time to time).

                  (j) The issuance by L/C Lender of any modification or
         supplement to any Letter of Credit hereunder that would extend the
         expiry date or increase the face amount thereof shall be subject to the
         same conditions applicable under this Section 2.03 to the issuance of
         new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or supplement shall be
         issued hereunder unless either (x) the respective Letter of Credit
         affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it
         originally been issued hereunder in such modified or supplemented form
         or (y) the Majority Revolving Lenders (or all of the Revolving Lenders
         to the extent required by Section 13.04) shall have consented thereto.

                  (k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, L/C Lender shall not be
         under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of
         such issuance, any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
         Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or
         restrain L/C Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any
         requirement of law applicable to L/C Lender or any request or directive
         (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
         Authority shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or
         such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C
         Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve
         or capital requirement (for which L/C Lender is not otherwise
         compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date. At any time that L/C
         Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue Letters of Credit
         pursuant to this paragraph (k), L/C Lender may be replaced by Borrower
         with another Lender reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arranger upon
         notice to L/C Lender and Collateral Agent and acceptance of such
         appointment by such successor L/C Lender. Upon any such replacement,
         Collateral Agent shall notify the Lenders of


<PAGE>
                                      -39-


         any such replacement of L/C Lender and the replacement L/C Lender
         shall agree to be bound by the applicable provisions of this
         Agreement. At the time any such replacement shall become
         effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
         account of the replaced L/C Lender pursuant to Section
         2.03(g). From and after the effective date of any such
         replacement, (i) the successor L/C Lender shall have all the
         rights and obligations of L/C Lender under this Agreement with
         respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii)
         references herein to the term "L/C Lender" shall be deemed to
         refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Lender, or to
         such successor and all previous L/C Lenders, as the context
         shall require. After the replacement of an L/C Lender
         hereunder, the replaced L/C Lender shall remain a party hereto
         and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of
         an L/C Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
         Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not
         be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and any L/C Document to
reimburse L/C Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any
drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C Document under all
circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C Document; (ii) the existence of any
claim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any person
for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), L/C Lender
or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the L/C Documents or any unrelated transaction; (iii)
any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under any Letter of Credit; or any defense based upon the failure
of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of
Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the
proceeds of such drawing; or (iv) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, Borrower or a Guarantor; provided, however, that neither Borrower
nor any Revolving Lender shall be obligated to reimburse L/C Lender for any
wrongful payment finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been made by L/C Lender as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of L/C Lender. To the extent that any
provision of any L/C Document is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 2.03 shall control.

                  SECTION 2.04. Termination and Reductions of Commitment. (a)
(i) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on April
30, 2001 if the Closing Date does not occur on or prior to such date.

                 (ii) The aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the R/C Maturity Date.


<PAGE>
                                      -40-


                (iii) The aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment shall be
permanently reduced on the date any required prepayments described in Section
2.10(a) are required to be made in the amount specified in Section 2.10(b)(ii).

                 (iv) The aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently reduced immediately after the making of the Term
Loans on the Closing Date to zero.

                  (b) Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to
time (without premium or penalty except breakage costs (if any) pursuant to
Section 5.05)) (i) so long as no Revolving Loans or L/C Liabilities will be
outstanding as of the date specified for termination, to terminate the Revolving
Commitments in their entirety, and (ii) to reduce the aggregate amount of the
Unutilized R/C Commitments (which shall be pro rata among Revolving Lenders);
provided, however, that (x) Borrower shall give notice of each such termination
or reduction as provided in Section 4.05, and (y) each partial reduction shall
be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1.0 million (or a larger multiple
of $1.0 million) or, if less, the remaining Unutilized R/C Commitments.

                  (c) Any Commitment once terminated or reduced may not be
reinstated.

                  SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent
for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the daily average
amount of such Lender's Unutilized R/C Commitment, for the period from and
including the Effective Date to but not including the earlier of the date such
Revolving Commitment is terminated and the R/C Maturity Date, at a rate equal to
(i) prior to the Closing Date, 0.50% per annum and (ii) thereafter, the
Applicable R/C Fee Percentage. Any accrued commitment fee under this Section
2.05(a) shall be payable in arrears on the Closing Date, on each Quarterly Date
and on the earlier of the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or
expire and the R/C Maturity Date.

                  (b) Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent for the account of
each Term Loan Lender a commitment fee on the daily average amount of such
Lender's Term Loan Commitment, for the period from and including the Effective
Date to but not including the Closing Date, at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum.
Any accrued commitment fee under this Section 2.05(b) shall be payable in
arrears on the Closing Date, on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the
date the Term Loan Commitments are terminated or expire and on the Closing Date.

                  (c) Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent for its own account
the annual administrative fee pursuant to the Collateral Agent's Fee Letter.

                  SECTION 2.06. Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by
each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender's Applicable Lending
Office for Loans of such Type.

                  SECTION 2.07. Several Obligations of Lenders. The failure of
any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such
date, but neither any Lender nor Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and
no

<PAGE>
                                      -41-


Lender shall have any obligation to Collateral Agent or any other Lender for
the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender.
No Revolving Lender will be responsible for failure of any other Lender to fund
its participation in Letters of Credit.

                  SECTION 2.08. Notes; Register. (a) At the request of any
Lender, its Loans of a particular Class shall be evidenced by a promissory note,
dated the Closing Date, payable to such Lender (or its nominee) and otherwise
duly completed, substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3 for such
Lender's Revolving Loans, Term A Facility Loans and Term B Facility Loans,
respectively.

                  (b) The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of the
Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan of each Class made by each Lender
to Borrower and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be
recorded by such Lender (or its nominee) on its books and, prior to any transfer
of any Note evidencing the Loans of such Class held by it, endorsed by such
Lender (or its nominee) on the schedule attached to such Note or any
continuation thereof; provided, however, that the failure of such Lender (or its
nominee) to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in such
recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make
a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note.

                  (c) Borrower hereby designates Collateral Agent to serve as
its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 2.08, to maintain a register (the
"Register") on which it will record the name and address of each Lender, the
Commitment from time to time of each of the Lenders, the principal amount of the
Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal
amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation or any
error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower's obligations in respect of
such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the
information noted therein, and the parties hereto shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation
hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Credit Documents,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayments and Conversions or
Continuations of Loans. (a) Subject to Section 2.09(b) and 4.04, Borrower shall
have the right to prepay Loans, or to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of
another Type or to Continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any
time or from time to time. Borrower shall give Collateral Agent notice of each
such prepayment, Conversion or Continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and,
upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be
prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder). Each notice of Conversion or
Continuation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBOR Loans are
prepaid or Converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor,
Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of
the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Lead Arranger may (and at the request of the
Majority Lenders shall) suspend the right of Borrower to Convert any Loan into a
LIBOR Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan, in which event all Loans
shall be Converted

                                      -42-


(on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or Continued,
as the case may be, as ABR Loans.

                  (b) Each optional prepayment in respect to Term B Facility
Loans shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium sufficient so that the
prepayment amount shall be equal to (i) if such prepayment is made on or prior
to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 102% of the principal amount of
such prepayment and (ii) if such prepayment is made after the first anniversary
of the Closing Date and through the second anniversary to the Closing Date, 101%
of the principal amount of such prepayment.

                  (c) Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section
2.09 shall be applied pro rata among the Term Facilities based upon the
remaining unpaid amounts thereof, with any application to be applied pro rata
among the remaining Amortization Payments thereof based upon the remaining
unpaid amounts thereof.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of Term B
Facility Loans at its sole discretion may, with respect to any optional
prepayment, so long as any Term A Facility Loans are then outstanding (after
giving effect to the application of such required prepayment to the Term A
Facility Loans), elect by written notice provided to Collateral Agent not to
have all or any amount of any such required prepayments applied to such holder's
Term B Facility Loans, in which case the aggregate amount so declined shall be
applied to the Term A Facility Loans, pro rata to the remaining Amortization
Payments thereof; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate
principal amount of the Term A Facility Loans after giving effect to such
optional prepayment is less than the aggregate amount so declined by the holders
of the Term B Facility Loans, such amount so declined shall be allocated between
the declining holders of the Term B Facility Loans pro rata based on the
aggregate amount declined by each such holder.

                  SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Prepayment and Commitment Reductions.
(a) Borrower shall prepay the Loans (and/or reduce Commitments) as follows (each
such prepayment (and/or Commitment reduction) to be effected in each case in the
manner, order and to the extent specified in subsection (b) below of this
Section 2.10):

         provided, however, that

                           (w) if no Default or Event of Default then exists or
                  would arise therefrom, the Net Available Proceeds thereof
                  shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the
                  extent that Borrower has delivered an Officers' Certificate to
                  Collateral Agent on or prior to such date stating that such
                  proceeds shall be used to fund the acquisition of Property

                  with the provisions of Section 9.09,

                           (y) all such Net Available Proceeds in excess of the
                  remainder of (A) $500,000 individually or $1.0 million in the
                  aggregate for all such Casualty Events minus (B) the amount
                  not then held in the Collateral Account by virtue of Section
                  2.10(a)(iv)(y) shall be held in the Collateral Account and
                  released therefrom only in accordance with the terms of the
                  Security Agreement, and

                           (z) if all or any portion of such Net Available

                  pursuant to the preceding proviso (y) is not so used within
                  365 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Available
                  Proceeds, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last
                  day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).

                 (ii)    Equity Issuance.  Upon any Equity Issuance on or after
         the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of the
         Net Available Proceeds of such Equity Issuance.

                (iii) Debt Issuance. Upon any Debt Issuance on or after the
         Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net

                 (iv) Asset Sale Events. Within one Business Day after receipt
         by any Company of any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale Event,

                  Event permitted by Section 10.05 shall not be required to be
                  applied as provided herein on such date if (1) no Default or
                  Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, and (2)
                  Borrower delivers an Officers' Certificate to Collateral Agent

                  tion 2.10(a)(i)(x) shall be held in the Collateral Account and
                  released therefrom only in accordance with the terms of the
                  Security Agreement,

                           (z) if all or any portion of such Net Available
                  Proceeds which are permitted to be applied to reinvestment
                  pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.10(a)(iv) is not so
                  used within such one year period, such remaining portion shall
                  be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier
                  date as Borrower determines not to reinvest any portion
                  thereof) as specified in Section 2.10(b) (it being understood
                  that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligation of
                  any Company to obtain the consent of the Majority Lenders if
                  required pursuant to this Agreement to effect any Asset Sale).

                  (v) Excess Cash Flow. Not later than 95 days after the end of
         each fiscal year of Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending
         December 31, 2001, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 75% of
         Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year.

                 (vi) Indemnification. Within five Business Days after receipt

         provisions of the Acquisition Agreement (the amount thereof being the
         "Indemnification Amount"), in an aggregate principal amount equal to
         100% of the Indemnification Amount; provided that (A) so long as no
         Default or Event of Default then exists (other than that resulting from
         an event giving rise to the indemnification payment which will be cured
         through the application of such payment), such Indemnification Amount
         shall not be required to be so applied on the date to the extent that
         Borrower has delivered an Officers' Certificate to Collateral Agent on
         or prior to such date stating that such Indemnification Amounts shall
         be used or shall be committed to be used to redress losses (either
         directly or by obtaining other benefits useful to Borrower and its
         Subsidiaries) suffered by Borrower in respect of which such
         Indemnification Amount was paid no later than six months following the
         date of such payment (which certificate shall set forth the estimates
         of the proceeds to be so expended) and (B) if all or any portion of
         such Indemnification Amounts not required to be applied to the
         repayment of Loans pursuant to the preceding clause (A) are either (I)
         not so used or committed to be so used within six months after the date
         of the respective payment date or (II) if committed to be used within
         six months after the date of receipt of such proceeds of such payment
         date and not so used within one year after the date of the respective
         payment date, then, in either such case, such remaining portion not
         used or committed to be used in the case of preceding clause (I) and
         not used in the case of preceding clause (II) shall be applied on the
         date which is the first anniversary of the date of the respective
         payment date in the case of clause (I) above or the date which is the
         second anniversary of the date of the respective payment date in the
         case of clause (II) above as a mandatory repayment of principal of
         outstanding Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section
         2.10(b).

                (vii) RIH Secured Note. Within one Business Day after receipt by
         Borrower of any proceeds from any payment in respect of the RIH Secured
         Note, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such proceeds
         from such payment; provided that RIH shall only make a voluntary
         payment in respect of the RIH Secured Note to the extent that Borrower

<PAGE>
                                      -45-


         would have otherwise been permitted to prepay Term B Facility Loans in
         accordance with Sections 2.09 or 2.11(b) and at such time as provided
         in Section 4.05.

               (viii) Other Required Prepayments. If the terms of any agreement,
         instrument or indenture pursuant to which any Indebtedness (other than
         the Obligations) pari passu with or junior in right of payment to the
         Loans is outstanding (or pursuant to which such Indebtedness is
         guaranteed) require prepayment of such Indebtedness out of the Net
         Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale unless such Net Available Proceeds
         are used to prepay other Indebtedness, then, to the extent not
         otherwise required by this Section 2.10(a), if the Companies shall not
         have reinvested the Net Available Proceeds thereof as permitted by
         Section 2.10(a)(v) within the time frame permitted thereby (but prior
         to the date required to be applied to such Indebtedness), the Loans
         shall be repaid in an amount not less than the minimum amount that
         would be required to be prepaid not later than the latest time as and
         upon such terms so that such other Indebtedness will not be required to
         be prepaid pursuant to the terms of the agreement, indenture or
         instrument or guarantee governing such other Indebtedness.

                  (b) Application. The amount of any required prepayments
described in Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans and/or reduce
Commitments as follows:

                  (i) First, the amount of the required prepayment shall be
         applied to the reduction of Amortization Payments on the Term Loans
         required by Section 3.01(b) pro rata among the Term Facilities based
         upon the remaining unpaid aggregate principal amounts thereof and, in
         each case, pro rata to the remaining Amortization Payments.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of Term B Facility Loans may,
         at its sole discretion, so long as any Term A Facility Loans are then
         outstanding (after giving effect to the application of such required
         prepayment to the Term A Facility Loans), elect by written notice
         provided to Collateral Agent not to have all or any amount of any such
         required prepayments applied to such holder's Term B Facility Loans, as
         the case may be, in which case the aggregate amount so declined shall
         be applied to the Term A Facility Loans, pro rata to the remaining
         Amortization Payments thereof; provided, however, that (A) to the
         extent that the aggregate principal amount of the Term A Facility Loans
         after giving effect to such mandatory prepayment is less than the
         aggregate amount so declined by the holders of the Term B Facility
         Loans, the excess shall be allocated between the declining holders of
         the Term B Facility Loans pro rata based on the aggregate amount
         declined by each such holder.

                 (ii) Second, after such time as no Term Loans remain
         outstanding, the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced pro
         rata in an amount equal to the remaining amount of any such required
         prepayment that would have been applied to the Term Loans (at the same
         time that the prepayment of the Term Loans would have been made and
         assuming an unlimited amount thereof then outstanding) and to the
         extent that, after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate
         principal amount of Revolving Loans, plus the aggregate amount of all
         L/C Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall,
         first, prepay outstanding Revolving Loans and, second, provide cover
         for L/C Liabilities as specified in Section 2.10(d), in an aggregate
         amount equal to such excess.


<PAGE>
                                      -46-


                (iii) Third, after application of prepayments in accordance with
         clauses (i) and (ii) above, Borrower shall be permitted to retain any
         such remaining excess.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment
of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of
the ABR Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such
prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be
immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such
required prepayment shall be either (i) deposited in the Collateral Account and
applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Loans on the last day of the then
next-expiring Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (with all interest accruing
thereon for the account of Borrower) or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with
any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 5.05. Notwithstanding any such
deposit in the Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such
Loans until prepayment.

                  (c) Revolving Credit Extension Reductions. Until the R/C
Maturity Date, Borrower shall from time to time immediately prepay the Revolving
Loans (and/or provide cover for L/C Liabilities as specified in Section 2.10(d))
in such amounts as shall be necessary so that at all times the aggregate
outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding L/C
Liabilities shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments as in effect at such
time, such amount to be applied, first, to Revolving Loans outstanding and
second, as cover for L/C Liabilities outstanding as specified in Section
2.10(d).

                  (d) Cover for L/C Liabilities. In the event that Borrower
shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10 to provide cover for L/C
Liabilities, Borrower shall effect the same by paying to Collateral Agent
immediately available funds in an amount equal to the required amount, which
funds shall be retained by Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account (as
provided in the Security Agreement as collateral security in the first instance
for the L/C Liabilities) until such time as all Letters of Credit shall have
been terminated and all of the L/C Liabilities paid in full.

                  SECTION 2.11. Replacement of Lenders. (a) Borrower shall have
the right, if no Default then exists, to replace any Lender (the "Replaced
Lender") with one or more other Eligible Persons reasonably acceptable to Lead
Arranger (collectively, the "Replacement Lender") if (x) such Lender is charging
Borrower increased costs pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 in excess of those
being charged generally by the other Lenders or such Lender becomes incapable of
making LIBOR Loans as provided in Section 5.03 when other Lenders are generally
able to do so and/or (y) as provided in Section 13.04(ii), such Lender refuses
to consent to certain proposed amendments, waivers or modifications with respect
to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) at the time of any replacement
pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or
more assignment agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.06
to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender
shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case
L/C Interests by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to
(x) the Replaced Lender, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and
all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) all
Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Replaced Lender, together with all then
unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (C) all accrued, but
theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 2.05,
and (y) L/C Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender's R/C Percentage of
any

<PAGE>
                                      -47-


Reimbursement Obligations (which at such time remains a Reimbursement
Obligation) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such
Replaced Lender, and (ii) all obligations of Borrower owing to the Replaced
Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect
of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid,
but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section
5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan) shall be paid in full to such
Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the
respective assignment agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to
the Replacement Lender of Notes executed by Borrower, the Replacement Lender
shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to
constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a
Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to the
Replaced Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced
Lender.

                  (b) If Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming
Authority that a Lender is not qualified to make Loans to Borrower or to hold
the securities of a casino licensee under applicable Gaming Laws (and such
Lender is notified by Borrower and the Lead Arranger in writing of such
disqualification), Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with a
Replacement Lender or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, even if a Default
exists. Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment, as set forth
in Section 2.09. Notice to such Lender shall be given ten (10) days before the
required date of transfer or prepayment, as the case may be, and shall be
accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or redemption is
required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with
the foregoing, the Replaced Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effectuating
the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such
notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing
sentence. Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the
Gaming Authority that the Lender is disqualified, commencing on the date the
Gaming Authority serves the disqualification notice upon Borrower: (i) such
Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall
no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right
conferred by the Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration
in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans.

                  (b) Term A Facility Loans and Term B Facility Loans. Borrower
hereby promises to pay to Collateral Agent for the account of the Lenders in
repayment of the principal of the Term Loans specified in Annex D, the amount of
the respective Term Loan specified in Annex D under the column entitled "Term A
Facility Loans," and "Term B Facility Loans," respectively on the dates set
forth on Annex D (subject to adjustment for any prepayments made under Section
2.09 or Section 2.10 to the extent actually made).

                  SECTION 3.02. Interest. (a) Borrower hereby promises to pay to
Collateral Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Loan made or maintained by such Lender to Borrower for the period
from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan
shall be paid in full at the following rates per annum:

                  (i)    during such periods as such Loan is an ABR Loan, the
         Alternate Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the
         Applicable Margin, and

                 (ii) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, for each
         Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBO Rate for such Loan for such
         Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin.

                  (b) Upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event
of Default, (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Loan not paid when due shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the
rate per annum required to be paid on such Loan pursuant to subsections (a)(i)
and (a)(ii) above, and (ii) all Obligations not paid when due other than Loans
shall bear interest at the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise
applicable to ABR Loans which are Revolving Loans from time to time. Interest
which accrues under this paragraph shall be payable on demand.

                  (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the
case of an ABR Loan, quarterly on the Quarterly Dates, (ii) in the case of a
LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and, if such
Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month intervals following
the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in the case of any LIBOR Loan,
upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan
of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or
Converted), except that interest payable at the rate set forth in Section
3.02(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the
determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein,
Collateral Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest
is payable and to Borrower.

                Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Computations; Etc.


                  SECTION 4.01. Payments. (a) All payments of principal,
interest, Reimbursement Obligations and other amounts to be made by Borrower
under this Agreement and the Notes, and, ex-


<PAGE>
                                      -49-


cept to the extent otherwise provided therein, all payments to be made by the
Credit Parties under any other Credit Document, shall be made in Dollars, in
immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to
Collateral Agent at its account at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00
p.m. New York City time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each
such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been
made on the next succeeding Business Day).

                  (b) Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under
this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender, specify (in accordance
with Section 2.09 and 2.10, if applicable) to Collateral Agent (which shall so
notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Class and Type of Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to
which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that Borrower fails to so
specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral
Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders for application to the
Obligations under the Credit Documents in such manner as it or the Majority
Lenders, subject to Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 4.02, may determine to be
appropriate).

                  (c) All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to
be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes in respect of the Term B
Facility Loans shall (unless otherwise consent to by the Lead Arranger) be made
solely from amounts received by Borrower from RIH pursuant to the terms of the
RIH Secured Note

                  (d) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the second
sentence of Section 2.03(g), each payment received by Collateral Agent or by L/C
Lender (through Collateral Agent) under this Agreement or any Note for the
account of any Lender shall be paid by Collateral Agent or by L/C Lender
(through Collateral Agent), as the case may be, to such Lender, in immediately
available funds, (x) if the payment was actually received by Collateral Agent or
by L/C Lender (through Collateral Agent), as the case may be, prior to 12:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day, on such day and (y) if the payment was
actually received by Collateral Agent or by L/C Lender (through Collateral
Agent), as the case may be, after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day, by
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day (it being
understood that to the extent that any such payment is not made in full by
Collateral Agent or by L/C Lender (through Collateral Agent), as the case may
be, Collateral Agent shall pay to such Lender, upon demand, interest at the
Federal Funds Rate from the date such amount was required to be paid to such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing clauses until the date Collateral Agent pays
such Lender the full amount).

                  (e) If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any
Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable
for any principal so extended for the period of such extension at the rate then
borne by such principal.

                  SECTION 4.02. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing of Loans of a particular Class
from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall be made from the relevant Lenders,
each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.05 in respect of Commitments of
a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each
termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class
under Section 2.04

<PAGE>
                                      -50-


shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant
Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of
such Class; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, LIBOR Loans of any
Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the
relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving
Commitments and Term Loan Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or
their respective Revolving Loans and Term Loans (in the case of Conversions and
Continuations of Loans); (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b),
each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans or of any particular
Class of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the respective unpaid outstanding principal amounts of
the Loans of such Class held by them; and (d) except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.11(b), each payment of interest on Revolving Loans and Term Loans
shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective
Lenders.

                  SECTION 4.03. Computations. Interest on LIBOR Loans,
commitment fees and Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable and
interest on ABR Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such amounts are payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each day that
the Alternate Base Rate is calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate,
interest on ABR Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

                  SECTION 4.04. Minimum Amounts. Except for mandatory
prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10 and Conversions or prepayments made
pursuant to Section 5.04, each Borrowing, Conversion and prepayment of principal
of Loans shall be in an amount at least equal to $1.0 million with respect to
ABR Loans and $1.0 million with respect to LIBOR Loans and in multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof (borrowings, Conversions or prepayments of or into
Loans of different Types or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, having different
Interest Periods at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings,
Conversions and prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or
Interest Period). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period
shall be in an amount at least equal to $250,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in
excess thereof and, if any LIBOR Loans or portions thereof would otherwise be in
a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans or portions, as the case
may be, shall be ABR Loans during such period.

                  SECTION 4.05. Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to
Collateral Agent of terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of
borrowings, Conversions, Continuations and optional prepayments of Loans and of
Classes of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods
shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Collateral Agent
by telephone not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time (promptly followed by
written notice via telecopier) on the number of Business Days prior to the date
of the relevant termination, reduction, borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or
prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified in the table
below.

</TABLE>


                  Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the
amount and the Class of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such
notice of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment shall specify the
Class of Loans to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount
(subject to Section 4.04) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, Converted,
Continued or prepaid and the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or
prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of
an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to
relate. Unless otherwise consented to by Agents in their sole discretion, prior
to the earlier of (x) five days after the Closing Date, and (y) the date on
which Borrower has been notified by Lead Arranger that the primary syndication
of the Commitments has been completed, no borrowing of or Conversion into any
LIBOR Loan may be made, and, in addition to the foregoing limitation, prior to
the earlier of (x) thirty days after the Closing Date and (y) the date on which
Borrower has been notified by Lead Arranger that the primary syndication of the
Commitments has been completed, no Interest Period of more than 14 days may be
elected. Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of
each such notice. In the event that Borrower fails to select the Type of Loan,
or the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, within the time
period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding
as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically Converted into an ABR Loan on the last
day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as an
ABR Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR
Loan.

                  SECTION 4.06. Non-Receipt of Funds by Collateral Agent. Unless
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower
(the "Payor") prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to
Collateral Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made
by such Lender hereunder or a payment to Collateral Agent for the account of one
or more of the Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein called the "Required
Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not
intend to make the Required Payment to Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may
assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to
the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made
the Required Payment to Collateral Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment
shall, on demand, repay to Collateral Agent the amount so made available
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period
commencing on the date (the "Advance Date") such amount was so made available by
Collateral

                                      -52-


Agent until the date Collateral Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day and, if such recipient(s) shall
fail promptly to make such payment, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as
aforesaid; provided, however, that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor
shall return the Required Payment to Collateral Agent within three Business Days
of the date such demand was made, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the
Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the
Required Payment as follows (without double recovery):

                  (i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be
         made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall
         each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in
         respect of the Required Payment at the rate set forth in Section
         3.02(b) (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under
         Section 3.02 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the rate set
         forth in Section 3.02(b)), it being understood that the return by the
         recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Collateral Agent shall not
         limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 3.02 to pay interest at
         the rate set forth in Section 3.02(b) in respect of the Required
         Payment; and

                 (ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan
         to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor, or Borrower, shall
         each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in
         respect of the Required Payment pursuant to Section 3.02, it being
         understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to
         Collateral Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against
         the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Collateral Agent
receives notice of any Payor's inability to fund, the Collateral Agent shall be
under no obligation to fund on such Payor's behalf.

                  SECTION 4.07. Right of Setoff; Sharing of Payments; Etc. (a)
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party
agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff,
banker's lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be
entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and
apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or
other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of such Credit Party at
any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal
of or interest on any of such Lender's Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any
other amount payable to such Lender hereunder that is not paid when due
(regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such
Credit Party), in which case it shall promptly notify such Credit Party and
Collateral Agent thereof; provided, however, that such Lender's failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

                  (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive
(other than pursuant to Section 5 or the Collateral Agent's Fee Letter) any
amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by
the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross
action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents (including
any guarantee), or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the
principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or fees, the
sum of which with respect to the related sum or sums received by

<PAGE>
                                      -53-


other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amounts then
owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amounts then owed and due
to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender
receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective
Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, however, that if
all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such
Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower consents to the
foregoing arrangements.

                  (c) Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a
participation may exercise all rights of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or
similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to
such Lender in the amount of such participation.

                  (d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and
retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other
Indebtedness or obligation of any Credit Party. If, under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim
in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to
the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in
a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section
4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.


                                    ARTICLE V

                             Yield Protection, Etc.


                  SECTION 5.01. Additional Costs. (a) If the adoption of, or any
change in, in each case after the Closing Date, any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority or the NAIC made subsequent to the Closing
Date (other than such adoptions or changes as may relate to the certain Lenders'
indirect ownership of the Companies):

                  (i) shall subject any Lender or L/C Lender to any tax of any
         kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of
         Credit or any Lender's participation therein, any L/C Document or any
         Loan made by it or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
         Lender in respect thereof by any Governmental Authority (except for
         taxes covered by or expressly excluded from coverage by, and expressly
         subject to, Section 5.06, changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
         income or net profits of such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office,
         or any affiliate thereof or franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed
         with respect to or in lieu of its net income or net profits by any
         Governmental Authority);


<PAGE>
                                      -54-


                 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
         special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement (including any
         Reserve Requirement) against assets held by, deposits or other
         liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other
         extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
         office of such Lender or L/C Lender which is not otherwise included in
         the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or

                (iii) shall impose on such Lender or L/C Lender any other
         condition (excluding taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
L/C Lender, by an amount which such Lender or L/C Lender deems to be material,
of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder
in respect thereof then, in any such case, Borrower shall, within 10 days of
written demand therefor, pay such Lender or L/C Lender any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Lender on a net after-tax basis
(taking into account any additional tax costs or tax benefits) for such
increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or L/C Lender becomes
entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall
promptly notify Borrower, through Collateral Agent, of the event by reason of
which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts
setting forth the calculation of such additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 5.01 submitted by such Lender or L/C Lender, through Collateral Agent,
to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error.
Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this Section 5.01
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and
all other Obligations payable hereunder.

                  (b) In the event that any Lender or L/C Lender shall have
determined that the adoption after the Closing Date of any law, rule, regulation
or guideline regarding capital adequacy (or any change after the Closing Date
therein or in the interpretation or application thereof) or compliance by any
Lender or L/C Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Lender
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the
NAIC, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date including, without
limitation, the issuance after the Closing Date of any final rule, regulation or
guideline, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's or L/C Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which
such Lender or L/C Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or L/C
Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Lender or L/C Lender to be material, then from time to
time, after submission by such Lender or L/C Lender to Borrower (with a copy to
Collateral Agent) of a written request therefor, Borrower shall promptly pay to
such Lender or L/C Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or L/C Lender for such reduction.

                  (c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Lender's right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the
L/C Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more



<PAGE>
                                      -55-


than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Lender, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the change in law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

                  SECTION 5.02. Inability To Determine Interest Rate. If prior
to the first day of any Interest Period: (a) Collateral Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower)
that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Base Rate for such
Interest Period, or (b) Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Majority Lenders that dollar deposits are not available in the relevant amount
and for the relevant Interest Period available to the Majority Lenders in their
relevant market, the Collateral Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of
such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have
been Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be
Converted to or Continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall
be Converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such
notice has been withdrawn by Collateral Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be
made or Continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to Convert Loans
to, LIBOR Loans.

                  SECTION 5.03. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, in the event that any change after the Closing Date in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it
unlawful for any Lender or L/C Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor
its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or issue Letters of Credit
hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender or L/C Lender, the
designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such
unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender or L/C Lender), then
such Lender or L/C Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to
Collateral Agent) and such Lender's or L/C Lender's obligation to make or
Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans or issue
Letters of Credit shall be suspended until such time as such Lender or L/C
Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans or issue Letters of Credit (in
which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).

                  SECTION 5.04. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation
of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert ABR Loans into,
LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.03, such Lender's LIBOR
Loans shall be automatically Converted into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the
then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBOR Loans (or on such earlier date as
such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Collateral Agent as is
required by law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided
below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to such
Conversion no longer exist:

                  (i) to the extent that such Lender's LIBOR Loans have been so
         Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would
         otherwise be applied to such Lender's LIBOR Loans shall be applied
         instead to its ABR Loans; and


<PAGE>
                                      -56-


                 (ii) all Loans which would otherwise be made or Continued by
         such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as ABR
         Loans and all ABR Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be
         Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Collateral Agent that the
circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to the Conversion of
such Lender's LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which
such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a
time when LIBOR Loans are outstanding, such Lender's ABR Loans shall be
automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that,
after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans
and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

                  SECTION 5.05. Compensation. (a) Borrower agrees to indemnify
each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such
Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (1) default by Borrower in
payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, (2)
default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of
LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) default by Borrower or in making any
prepayment after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, or (4) the Conversion or the making of a payment
or a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto, including in each case, any such loss (but
excluding any loss profit or loss of margin) or expense arising from the
reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained.

                  (b) For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a
Lender under this Section 5.05 each Lender shall be deemed to have actually
funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing
interest at the LIBO Rate in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan and
having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however,
that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and
the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts
payable under this subsection. Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to
this Section 5.05 will furnish to Collateral Agent, Borrower a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of such request and such certificate, absent
manifest error, shall be conclusive. Without limiting the survival of any other
covenant hereunder, this covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.06. Net Payments. (a) Except as provided in Section
5.06(b), all payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or under any Note or
any Guarantee will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except
as provided in Section 5.06(b), all such payments will be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes now or
hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but
excluding any Excluded Tax) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities
with respect thereto (all such Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) being referred
to collectively as "Covered Taxes"). If any Covered Taxes are so lev-


<PAGE>
                                      -57-


ied or imposed, each Credit Party agrees on a joint and several basis to pay the
full amount of such Covered Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be
necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, the
Guarantees or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account
of any Covered Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in
such Note; provided that no such additional amount shall be required to be paid
to any Lender under this Section 5.06 to the extent such additional amount
relates to a portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any Note
or Guarantee with respect to which such Lender does not act for its own account
unless the beneficial owner would otherwise be entitled to such additional
amount. Each Credit Party will furnish to Collateral Agent within 45 days after
the date the payment of any Covered Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law
certified copies of tax receipts or other documentation reasonably satisfactory
to such Lender evidencing such payment by such Credit Party. The Credit Parties
agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and
reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Covered
Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender and any liability (including
penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto.

                  (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees
to deliver to Borrower and Collateral Agent on or prior to the Effective Date
or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest
under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.06 (unless the assigned or
transferee Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such
assignment or transfer and was in compliance with this Section 5.06(b) as of the
date of such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer
to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or successor forms) certifying to such
Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or
any Guarantee (or, with respect to any assignee Lender, at least as extensive as
the assigning Lender), or (ii) if the Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate, a "Foreign Lender
Certificate") and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor form) certifying to such
Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or,
with respect to any assignee Lender, at least as extensive as the assigning
Lender). Each Non-U.S. Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act
for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to
such Lender under any Note or Guarantee, shall deliver to Collateral Agent and
to Borrower, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender
listed on the signature pages hereof), on or prior to the date of the Assignment
Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other
Lender), or on such later date when such Lender ceases to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of such sums paid or payable, and at such
other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the
Agents, (i) two original copies of the forms or statements required to be
provided by such Lender under this Section 5.06(b), properly completed and duly
executed by such Lender, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or
payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account and is not
subject to United States withholding tax, and (ii) two original copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly com-

<PAGE>
                                      -58-


pleted and duly executed by such Lender, together with any information, if any,
such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or
statement of exemption required under the Code of the regulations issued
thereunder, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with
respect to a portion of any such sums paid or payable to such Lender. In
addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when
a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to Borrower and
Collateral Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or Form W-8 and a Foreign Lender
Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued
exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Note or any Guarantee, or it shall
immediately notify Borrower and Collateral Agent of its inability to deliver any
such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to
deliver any such form or certificate pursuant to this Section 5.06(b) for so
long as such payments may be made free from United States withholding tax.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to deliver any such
form or certificate if a change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior
to the date on which such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any
such form or certificate inapplicable or would prevent the Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such form or certificate with respect to it and
such Lender so advises Borrower. No Credit Party shall be required to indemnify
any Non-U.S. Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in
respect of any Covered Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay such
Covered Taxes would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to
comply with the provisions of this Section 5.06(b). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 5.06, Borrower agrees to pay additional
amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.06(a)
(without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or
withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described
in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the
Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting
or withholding of Covered Taxes.

                  (c) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or
from the execution, delivery, filing, recordation or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to
as "Other Taxes").

                  (d) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use (at the Credit Parties' expense)
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the
making of such change would avoid the need for, or in the opinion of such Lender
materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    Guarantee


                  SECTION 6.01. The Guarantee. (a) At such time as RIH shall
become a party to this Agreement, RIH hereby guarantees as a primary obligor and
not as a surety to each Creditor and their respective successors and assigns the
prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs
or changes that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after
any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) on the Loans
(other than the Term B Facility Loans) made by the Lenders (other than the Term
B Facility Lenders) to, and the Notes (other than the Term B Facility Notes)
held by each such Lender of, Borrower, and all other Obligations (other than in
respect of the Term B Facility Loans) from time to time owing to the Creditors
by any Credit Party under any Credit Document or Swap Contract entered in to
with a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (to the extent such Lender or
affiliate, as the case may be, is a Licensed Lender) and relating to the Loans
(other than the Term B Facility Loans), in each case strictly in accordance with
the terms thereof but in the case of Swap Contracts, not if such Lender or
Affiliate provides notice to Borrower that it does not want such Swap Contract
to be secured (such obligations being herein collectively called the "RIH
Guaranteed Obligations"). RIH hereby agrees that if Borrower or other
Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) any of the RIH Guaranteed Obligations, RIH will
promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the RIH Guaranteed
Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at
extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of
such extension or renewal.

                  (b) The Guarantors (other than RIH) hereby jointly and
severally guarantee as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Creditor
and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of
and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue
but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency
petition under the Bankruptcy Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the
Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to
time owing to the Creditors by any Credit Party under any Credit Document or
Swap Contract entered into with a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and
relating to the Loans, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms
thereof but in the case of Swap Contracts not if such Lender or Affiliate
provides notice to Borrower that it does not want such Swap Contest to be
secured (such obligations being herein collectively called the "Selected
Guaranteed Obligations"; and together with the RIH Guaranteed Obligations, the
"Guaranteed Obligations"). The Guarantors (other than RIH) hereby jointly and
severally agree that if Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

                  SECTION 6.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of
the Guarantors under Section 6.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and are
absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several (except as provided
in Section 6.01(a)), irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the
occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the
liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable
and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

                  (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the
         Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of
         the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or
         compliance shall be waived;

                 (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this
         Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to
         herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

                (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
         accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in
         any respect, or any right under the Credit Documents or any other
         agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended
         or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the
         Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or
         exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

                 (iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of,
         L/C Lender or any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed
         Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

                  (v)    the release of any other Guarantor.

                  The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that
any Creditor thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against
Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other
guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors
waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver,
termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by any Creditor thereof upon this guarantee or acceptance of
this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance
upon this guarantee, and all dealings between Borrower and the Creditors shall
likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance
upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to
any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or
from time to time held by the Creditors, and

<PAGE>
                                      -61-

Obligations at any time held by the Creditors, and the obligations and
liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent
upon the pursuit by the Creditors or any other person at any time of any right
or remedy against Borrower or against any other person which may be or become
liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against
any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in
accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the
successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders,
and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to
time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations
outstanding.

                  SECTION 6.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors
under this ArticleVI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that
for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or other Credit Party in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored
by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any
proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Guarantors jointly
and severally agree that they will indemnify each Creditor on demand for all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by
such Creditor in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any
such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that
such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or
expenses resulting from the gross negligence or bad faith of such Creditor.

                  SECTION 6.04. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor
hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in
cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the
Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right
or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section
6.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other
Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any
indebtedness of Borrower or any other Guarantor now or hereafter owing to any
Guarantor or Borrower by reason of any payment by such Guarantor under the
Guarantee in this Section 6 is hereby subordinated to the prior indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees
that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such
indebtedness of Borrower to such Guarantor until the Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
any Guarantor shall prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of
such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by
such Guarantor as trustee for Creditors and be paid over to Collateral Agent on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the
liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of the guaranty contained
herein.

                  SECTION 6.05. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally
agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of
Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due
and payable as provided in Article X (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article X)
for purposes of Section 6.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such


<PAGE>
                                      -62-


declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as
against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations
being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations
(whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 6.01.

                  SECTION 6.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each
Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VI, as set
forth in Section 6.01, constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and
consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event
of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall
have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

                  SECTION 6.07. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this
Article VI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all
Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

                  SECTION 6.08. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In
any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state,
Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting
the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under
Section 6.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid
or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on
account of the amount of its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without
any further action by such Guarantor, any Creditor or any other person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined
in such action or proceeding.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                              Conditions Precedent

conditions, the "Effective Date"):

                  (i) Documentation and Evidence of Certain Matters. Lead

                  specimen signatures, of officers) with respect to the

                  affidavits, questionnaires or returns as shall be required in
                  connection with the recording or filing thereof to create a
                  lien under applicable law, and such UCC-1 Financing Statements

                  covenants and restrictions), and (e) contain no exceptions to
                  title other than exceptions for the Permitted Liens applicable
                  to such Mortgaged Real Property and otherwise acceptable to

                  (or commitment) and endorsements contemplated in subparagraph
                  (3) above;

                  mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses
                  required for the recording of the Mortgages and issuance of
                  the title insurance policies referred to subparagraph (3)
                  above;

                            (8) with respect to each Real Property or Mortgaged
                  Real Property, copies of all Leases in which Borrower or any
                  Subsidiary holds the lessor's interest or other agreements
                  relating to possessory interests, if any. To the extent any of
                  the foregoing affect any Mortgaged Real Property, such
                  agreement shall be subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage to
                  be recorded against such Mortgaged Real Property, either
                  expressly by its terms or pursuant to a subordination,
                  non-disturbance and attornment agreement, and shall otherwise
                  be acceptable to the Lead Arranger;

                  registrations and filings, to the extent required by, and in
                  accordance with, all State and Local Real Property Disclosure
                  Requirements applicable to such Mortgaged Real Property,
                  including the use of forms provided by state or local
                  agencies, where such forms exist, whether to Borrower or to or
                  with the state or local agency;

                           (10) with respect to each Mortgaged Real Property, an
                  Officers' Certificate or other evidence reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Lead Arranger that as of the date thereof
                  (a) there is no outstanding citation, violation or similar
                  notice indicating that the Mortgaged Real Property contains
                  conditions which are not in compliance in any material respect
                  with local codes or ordinances relating to building or fire
                  safety or structural soundness, (b) there has not occurred any
                  "Taking or Destruction" (as such terms are defined in the
                  Security Agreement) of any Mortgaged Real Property and (c)
                  there are no material disputes regarding boundary lines,
                  location, encroachment or possession of such Mortgaged Real
                  Property and to the best knowledge of Borrower or any
                  Subsidiary that is the owner of or holder of an interest in
                  such Mortgaged Real Property, no state of facts exist which
                  could give rise to any such claim.

                (xiv) Pre-closing Syndication.  The Preclosing Syndication Date
         shall have occurred.

                 (xv) Other Documents. The Lenders shall have received such
         other customary legal opinions, corporate documents and other
         instruments and/or certificates as they may reasonably request.

                  The Parties hereto acknowledge the Closing Date occurred on
April 25, 2001.

                  SECTION 7.03. Conditions to Initial and Subsequent Extensions
of Credit. The obligation of the Lenders to make any Loan or otherwise extend
any credit to Borrower upon the occasion of each borrowing or other extension of
credit (whether by making a Loan or issuing a Letter of Credit) hereunder
(including the initial borrowing) is subject to the further conditions precedent
that:

                  (i) No Default or Event of Default; Representations and
         Warranties True. Both immediately prior to the making of such Loan or
         other extension of credit and also after giving pro forma effect
         thereto and to the intended use thereof:

                     (a)  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
                  be continuing;

                     (b)  the representations and warranties (other than those
                  relating to an earlier date) made by the Credit Parties in
                  Article VIII, and by each Credit Party in each of the other
                  Credit Documents to which it is a party, shall continue to be
                  accurate in all material respects on and as of the date of the
                  making of such Loan or other extension of credit with the same
                  force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except
                  that any such representation or warranty qualified as to
                  materiality shall continue to be accurate on and as of the
                  date of the making of such Loan or other extension of credit
                  with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such
                  date); and

                     (c)  the sum of the aggregate amount of the outstanding
                  Revolving Loans, plus L/C Liabilities shall not exceed the
                  Revolving Commitments then in effect.

                 (ii) No Legal Bar.  The Loans and other extensions of credit
         and the use of proceeds thereof shall not contravene, violate or
         conflict with, nor involve any Lender in a violation of, any
         Requirement of Law.

                (iii) Notice of Borrowing. Collateral Agent shall have received
         a Notice of Borrowing duly completed and complying with Section 4.05.

                  Each Notice of Borrowing or request for the issuance of a
Letter of Credit delivered by Borrower hereunder shall constitute a
certification by Borrower to the effect set forth in clauses (i)-(ii) above as
of the date of such borrowing or issuance. Each notice submitted by Borrower
hereunder for an extension of credit hereunder shall constitute a representation
and warranty by Borrower, as of the date of such notice and as of the relevant
borrowing date or date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, as applicable, that
the applicable conditions in Sections 7.02 and 7.03 have been satisfied or
waived in accordance with the terms hereof.

                  SECTION 7.04. Determinations Under Article VII. For purposes
of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 7.01 and
7.02, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or
to be satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lenders unless
an officer of the Agents responsible for the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall


<PAGE>
                                      -72-


have received notice from such Lender prior to the date that Borrower, by notice
to the Lenders, designates as the proposed date of the extension of credit,
specifying its objection thereto.

                  The Lenders and Agents acknowledge that the forms of the
deliveries required under the following sections previously shown to the Lead
Arranger are acceptable in form, scope and substance: Sections 7.02(i)(1), (2),
(4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12) and (13), Section 7.02(xi)(2), and
Sections 7.02(xiii)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (8) and (10); provided,
however, that the Lead Arranger reserves the right to require reasonable changes
to such documents and/or deliverables prior to the Closing Date, in light of
then existing circumstances.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         Representations and Warranties

                  Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Creditors
that at and as of the Effective Date and at and as of each Funding Date (with
respect to Sections 8.01 through and including 8.23) (in each case immediately
before and immediately after giving effect to the transactions to occur on such
date (including, with respect to the Closing Date, the Transactions)):

                  SECTION 8.01. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each
Company (a) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) has all requisite corporate or other
power and authority, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents
and approvals necessary to own its Property and carry on its business as now
being conducted; (c) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all
jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification necessary; and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law,
except in the case of clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), where the failure thereof
individually or in the aggregate could not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 8.02. Financial Condition; Etc. (a) Borrower has
delivered to the Lenders (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of RIH and
the Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, and the related
statements of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
fiscal years ended on those dates, together with reports thereon by Arthur
Andersen LLP, certified public accountants and (ii) unaudited interim
consolidated balance sheet of RIH and the Subsidiaries and the related
statements of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
fiscal month and quarterly period ended after December 31, 2000. All of said
financial statements, including in each case the related schedules and notes,
are true, complete and correct and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied and present fairly the financial position of RIH and its
Subsidiaries as of the respective dates of said balance sheets and the results
of their operations for the respective periods covered thereby, subject (in the
case of interim statements) to normal period-end audit adjustments.

                                      -73-


                  (b) Except as set forth in the financial statements or other
information referred to in Section 8.02(a)(i), as of the Closing Date, (other
than expenses directly related to the Transactions) there are no material
liabilities of any Company of any kind required to be set forth on a balance
sheet or in the notes thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP, whether accrued,
contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and there is no
existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which is reasonably likely
to result in such a liability.

                  (c) Since December 31, 2000 there has been no Material Adverse
Change or event or condition which would reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Change.

                  (d) The pro forma balance sheet of Consolidated Companies (the
"Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), certified by the chief financial officer of
Borrower, copies of which will be furnished to each Lender not later than the
second Business Day (nor earlier than the fifth Business Day) prior to the
Closing Date, is the balance sheet of Consolidated Companies as of the date of
the latest available balance sheet of Borrower prior to the Closing Date (the
"Pro Forma Date"), adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred on
such date) to the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and the application
of the proceeds of all Indebtedness to be incurred on such date. The Pro Forma
Balance Sheet, together with the notes thereto, accurately reflects in all
material respects all adjustments necessary to give effect to the Transactions,
was prepared based on good faith assumptions, and presents fairly in all
material respects on a pro forma basis the consolidated financial position of
Consolidated Companies as at the Pro Forma Date, adjusted as described above.

                  SECTION 8.03. Litigation. There is no Proceeding (other than
any (a) qui tam Proceeding, to which this Section is limited to the best of
Borrower's knowledge and (b) normal overseeing reviews of the Gaming
Authorities) pending against, or to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened in
writing against or affecting, any Company or any of its respective Properties
before any Governmental Authority or private arbitrator that may (i) have a
reasonable likelihood of being adversely determined and that, if determined or
resolved adversely to such Company, is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (ii) challenge the validity or enforceability of any of the
Credit Documents or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act or any similar federal or state statute, in each case where
such person is a defendant in a criminal indictment that provides for forfeiture
of assets to any Governmental Authority as a criminal penalty.

                  SECTION 8.04. No Breach; No Default. (a) None of the
execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Credit Document
or Transaction Document to which it is a party nor the consummation of the
transactions herein and therein contemplated (including the Transactions) do or
will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent (which
has not been obtained and is in full force and effect) under, any Organic
Document of any Company or any applicable Requirement of Law or any order, writ,
injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority binding on any Company, or
tortuously interfere with, result in a breach of, or require termination of, any
term or provision of any Contractual Obligation of any Company or (ii)
constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such
Contractual Obligation, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any
Property of any Company pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual
Obligation, except with respect to each of the foregoing which is not reasonable
likely to result in a Material Adverse


<PAGE>
                                      -74-


Effect and which would not subject any Creditor to any material risk of
significant damages or liability to third parties.

                  (b)  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

                  SECTION 8.05. Action. Each Company has all necessary corporate
power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under each Credit Document and Transaction Document to which it is a party and
to consummate the transactions herein and therein contemplated; the execution,
delivery and performance by each Company of each Credit Document and Transaction
Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions herein
and therein contemplated have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, etc. action on its part; and this Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by each Credit Party and constitutes, and each of
the Notes and the other Credit Documents and Transaction Documents to which it
is a party when executed and delivered by such Credit Party (in the case of the
Notes, for value) will constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against each Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability
from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and
remedies and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                  SECTION 8.06. Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or
consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or
any securities exchange are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance
by any Company of the Credit Documents and the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party or for the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof or
for the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, except
for filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to the
Security Documents, waiver by the Gaming Authority of any qualification
requirement on the part of the Lenders who do not otherwise qualify or are not
banks or licensed lending institutions, prior approval of the Transactions by
the Gaming Authority, and, if required, Holdings' and Borrower's registration of
one or more classes of their securities pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. Section 781) and except for
consents, authorizations and filings that have been obtained or made and are in
full force and effect or the failure of which to obtain would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 8.07. ERISA and Foreign Employee Benefit Matters. No
ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken
together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably
expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. As of the Effective Date, no member of the ERISA Groups maintains or
contributes to any Pension Plan. Each ERISA Entity is in compliance in all
material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code
with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan. Except as disclosed on Schedule
8.08, using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with
subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of any
of each ERISA Entity to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete
withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each
such Multiemployer Plan that precedes the Effective Date, would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


<PAGE>
                                      -75-


                  Each Foreign Plan is in compliance in all material respects
with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective
requirements of the governing documents for such Plan (other than to the extent
such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect). The aggregate of the liabilities to provide all of the accrued
benefits under any funded Foreign Plan (based on reasonable assumptions used by
such Plan) does not as of the most recent valuation report (or as of the end of
the most recent plan year if there is no recent valuation report) exceed the
current fair market value of the assets held in the trust or other funding
vehicle for such Foreign Plan by an amount that could have a Material Adverse
Effect. With respect to any unfunded Foreign Plan, reasonable reserves have been
established in accordance with prudent business practice or where required by
ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Plan is
maintained. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for
benefits) pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened against any
Company or any ERISA Entity with respect to any Foreign Plan that could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 8.08. Taxes. Except as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect, (i) all tax returns, statements, reports and forms or other
documents (including estimated Tax or information returns and including any
required, related or supporting information) (collectively, the "Tax Returns")
required to be filed with any taxing authority by, or with respect to, each
Company have been timely filed in accordance with all applicable laws; (ii) each
Company has timely paid or made provision for payment of all Taxes shown as due
and payable on Tax Returns that have been so filed or that are otherwise due and
payable (other than Taxes which are being contested in good faith and for which
adequate reserves are reflected on other financial statements subsequently
delivered hereunder) and each Tax Return is complete in all material respects;
and (iii) each Company has made adequate provision for all Taxes payable by such
Company for which no Tax Return has yet been filed. No Company has received
written notice of any proposed or pending tax assessment, audit or deficiency
against such Company that would in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  No extension of a statute of limitations relating to material
Taxes is in effect with respect to any Company, no Company has ever been a
member of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504
of the Code other than an affiliated group of corporations of which Borrower was
the common parent and there are no material Tax sharing agreements or similar
arrangements (including Tax indemnity arrangements) with respect to or involving
any Company other than between or among Borrower and the Subsidiaries.

                  All deficiencies which have been asserted against any Company
as a result of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax examination for each
taxable year in respect of which an examination has been conducted have been
fully paid or finally settled or are being contested in good faith, and no issue
has been raised in any such examination which, by application of similar
principles, reasonably can be expected to result in assertion of a material
deficiency for any other year not so examined which has not been reserved for in
the Companies' consolidated financial statements heretofore delivered to the
Agents to the extent, if any, required by GAAP.

                  SECTION 8.09. Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding
Company Act; Other Restrictions. No Company is an "investment company", or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the
United States Investment Company Act of 1940,


<PAGE>
                                      -76-


as amended, except to the extent such "investment company" is not required to be
registered under such Act. No Company is a "holding company", or an "affiliate"
of a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", within
the meaning of the United States Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended. No Company is subject to regulation under any law or regulation which
limits its ability to incur Indebtedness, other than Regulation X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Gaming Law.

                  SECTION 8.10. Environmental Matters. Except as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each
Company is in compliance with, and has no liability under, any applicable
Environmental Laws and there are no Environmental Laws which could reasonably be
expected to result in material expenditures by any Company, and no such
Environmental Laws would interfere in any material way with current or projected
operations of any Company; (ii) no Company, or to the knowledge of any Company,
any of its predecessors in interest, has disposed of, arranged for the disposal
or treatment of, or otherwise released Hazardous Materials at any site at which
any person is conducting or, to the knowledge of any Company, plans to conduct,
any action under Environmental Law; which could reasonably be expected to result
in liability to the Company (iii) no Real Property now or formerly owned, leased
or operated by any Company or, to the knowledge of any Company, any of their
respective predecessors in interest, are (x) listed or proposed for listing on
the National Priorities List under the United States Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), (y)
listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Information System List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA (except sites determined
to require no further remedial action) or (z) included on any similar lists
maintained by any Governmental Authority; (iv) there are no past or present
events, conditions, activities, practices or actions, or any agreements,
judgments, decrees or orders by which any Company is bound, which would
reasonably be expected to prevent any Company's compliance with any
Environmental Law, or which would reasonably be expected to result in any
liability of any Company under any Environmental Law; (v) no Lien has been
asserted or recorded, or to the knowledge of any Company, threatened, under any
Environmental Law with respect to Property of any Company; and (vi) no Company
is a party to any Proceeding alleging the violation of, or liability under, any
Environmental Law or has received any Environmental Claim and, to the knowledge
of any Company, no such Proceeding or Environmental Claim is threatened.

                  SECTION 8.11. Environmental Investigations. As of the Closing
Date, all material environmental investigations, studies, audits or assessments
in the possession, custody or control of any Company prior to the Closing Date
relating (i) to the current or prior business or operations of any Company or
any of their respective predecessors in interest or (ii) to any Property now or
previously owned, operated, leased or used by any Company or any of their
respective predecessors in interest have been made available to the Creditors.

                  SECTION 8.12. Use of Proceeds. (a) Borrower will use the
proceeds of (i) all Term Loans to finance the RIH Acquisition and pay related
fees and expenses and (ii) Revolving Loans to finance the Transactions (in an
amount not to exceed on the Closing Date $3.2 million unless consented to by
Lead Arranger in its sole discretion), pay fees and expenses related thereto,
and for general corporate purposes provided, that no Revolving Loans may be used
for Strategic Capital Ex-

<PAGE>
                                      -77-


penditures in any year except to the extent that the Revolving Loans have been
repaid with 25% of Excess Cash Flow for such period and only to the extent of
the amount so repaid.

                  (b) No Company is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose,
whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock
and no part of the proceeds of any extension of credit hereunder will be used
directly or indirectly and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately to
purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for such
purpose or to refund Indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose.
Following application of the proceeds of each extension of credit hereunder, not
more than 25 percent of the value of the assets (either of Borrower individually
or of Consolidated Companies) will be Margin Stock. If requested by any
Creditor, Borrower will furnish to Collateral Agent and each Lender a statement
to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1
referred to in Regulation U.

                  SECTION 8.13. Subsidiaries, Etc. As of the Closing Date, (a)
Holdings owns 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Borrower
and has no other Subsidiaries or interest (whether direct or indirect) in
partnerships, joint ventures or business trusts and (b) Borrower owns 100% of
the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of RIH and New Pier and has no other
Subsidiaries or interests (whether direct or indirect) in partnerships, joint
ventures or business trusts. Each of RIH and New Pier will be a Guarantor as of
the Closing Date. No such Subsidiary, partnership or joint venture has issued
any securities convertible into its Equity Interests (or other evidence of
ownership) or any Equity Rights to acquire such Equity Interests, and the
outstanding Equity Interests of such Subsidiaries, partnerships or joint
ventures are owned by Borrower free and clear of all Liens and Equity Rights of
others of any kind whatsoever.

                  SECTION 8.14. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Company has
good title to, or a validly subsisting leasehold interest in, all material
assets and Property (tangible and intangible) owned by it (except insofar as
marketability may be limited by any laws or regulations of any Governmental
Authority affecting such assets), and all such assets and Property are free and
clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Except as may be disclosed to the
Lenders and/or the Agents, including in the engineering reports delivered to the
Collateral Agent prior to the Closing Date, to the best knowledge of the
Borrower, substantially all of the assets and Property owned by, leased to, or
used by each Company in its respective businesses is in good operating condition
and repair in all material respects, ordinary wear and tear excepted, is free
and clear of any known material defects except such defects as do not
substantially interfere with the continued use thereof in the conduct of normal
operations, and is reasonably able to serve the function for which they are
currently being used, except in each case where the failure of such asset to
meet such requirements would not, or is not reasonably likely to, result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Credit Document, nor any transaction
contemplated under any such document, will affect any right, title or interest
of any Company in any to any of such assets in a manner that would, or in
reasonably likely to, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 8.15. Security Interest; Absence of Financing
Statements; Etc. The Security Documents, once executed and delivered, will
create, in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Creditors, as
security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and

<PAGE>
                                      -78-


enforceable, and upon filing or recording with the appropriate Governmental
Authorities (including payment of applicable filing and recording taxes) and
delivery of the applicable documents to Collateral Agent, perfected security
interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral (and the proceeds thereof), and
subject to no other Liens except as expressly permitted by the Security
Documents.

                  Except for Permitted Liens and financing statements filed
without the consent of any Credit Party, there is no currently effective
financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage
or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry, or other
public office, that purports to cover, affect or give notice of any Lien on, or
security interest in, any Property of any Company or rights thereunder.

                  SECTION 8.16. Licenses and Permits. The Companies hold all
material governmental permits, licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
necessary for the Companies to own, lease, and operate their respective
Properties and to operate their respective businesses as now being conducted
(collectively, the "Permits"), except for Permits the failure of which to obtain
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Permits has been modified
in any way that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. All
Permits are in full force and effect except where the failure to be in full
force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has
received written notice that any Gaming Authority has commenced proceedings to
suspend, revoke or not renew any such permits.

                  SECTION 8.17. True and Complete Disclosure. The information,
reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or
on behalf of any Credit Party to any Creditor in connection with the
negotiation, preparation or delivery of the Credit Documents or included or
delivered pursuant thereto or pursuant to the Confidential Information
Memorandum dated March 2001 distributed in connection with the syndication of
the Commitments and Loans and the Credit Documents themselves, but in each case
excluding all projections, whether prior to or after the date of this Agreement,
when taken as a whole, do not, as of the date such information was furnished,
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The
projections and pro forma financial information furnished at any time by any
Credit Party to any Creditor pursuant to this Agreement have been prepared in
good faith based on assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the
time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as
it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ
from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount and no Credit
Party, however, makes any representation as to the ability of any Company to
achieve the results set forth in any such projections. Each Credit Party
understands that all such statements, representations and warranties shall be
deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders as a material inducement to make
each extension of credit hereunder.

                  SECTION 8.18. Solvency. As of each Funding Date immediately
prior to and immediately following the consummation of the Transactions and the
extensions of credit to occur on such date each Credit Party (on a consolidated
basis with its Subsidiaries) is and will be Solvent (after giving effect to
Section 6.08).


<PAGE>
                                      -79-


                  SECTION 8.19. Contracts. No Company is in default under any
material contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound,
nor, to Borrower's knowledge, does any condition exist that, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would constitute such default, excluding in any case such
defaults that are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 8.20. Labor Matters. There is (i) no unfair labor
practice complaint pending against any Company or, to the best knowledge of
Borrower, threatened against any Company, before the National Labor Relations
Board or any other Governmental Authority, and no grievance or arbitration
proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so
pending against any Company or, to the best knowledge of Borrower after due
inquiry, threatened against any Company, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown
or stoppage pending against any Company or, to the best knowledge of Borrower,
after due inquiry, threatened against any Company and (iii) to the best
knowledge of Borrower after due inquiry, no union representation question
existing with respect to the employees of any Company and, to the best knowledge
of Borrower, no union organizing activities are taking place, except such as
would not, with respect to any matter specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 8.21. Subordinated Debt. The Obligations are senior
debt with respect to all Indebtedness of any Company that is contractually
subordinated to any other Indebtedness of such Company and entitled to the full
benefits of all subordination provisions therein and such subordination
provisions are in full force and effect.

                  SECTION 8.22. Intellectual Property. To the best knowledge of
Borrower after due inquiry, each Company owns or possesses adequate licenses or
otherwise has the right to use all of the patents, patent applications,
trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service mark applications,
trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how and processes (collectively,
"Intellectual Property") that are necessary for the operation of its business as
presently conducted, except where the failure to so own or possess such
Intellectual Property would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of Borrower, no
claim is pending that any Company infringes upon the asserted rights of any
other person under any Intellectual Property, except for any such claim that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of Borrower, no claim is pending
that any such Intellectual Property owned or licensed by any Company or which
any Company otherwise has the right to use is invalid or unenforceable, except
for any such claim which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  As of the Closing Date, each Company owns or has the right to
use all Intellectual Property listed in Schedules 1.1(a), 1.1(f), 1.1(g) and
1.1(i) to the Security Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not, alter or impair any such rights in a way that
would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. All
Intellectual Property owned by any Company is free and clear of all Liens except
Permitted Liens.

                  SECTION 8.23. Existing Indebtedness. Schedule 8.23(a) sets
forth a true and complete list of all Indebtedness of the Companies as of the
Closing Date (after giving effect to the


<PAGE>
                                      -80-


Transactions) and Schedule 8.23(b) sets forth a true and complete list of all
Indebtedness of the Companies that is to be paid-off on the Closing Date, in
each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof and the name of each
respective borrower and any other entity that directly or indirectly guaranteed
such Indebtedness.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                              Affirmative Covenants


                  Each Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of its
Subsidiaries, covenants and agrees with the Creditors that, so long as any
Commitment, Loan or L/C Liability is outstanding and until payment in full of
all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (and each Credit Party covenants and
agrees that it will cause its Subsidiaries to observe and perform the covenants
herein set forth applicable to any such Subsidiary):

                  SECTION 9.01. Existence; Business Properties. (a) Each Company
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in
full force and effect its legal existence, except as otherwise expressly
permitted under Section 6.05 or, in the case of any Subsidiary, where the
failure to perform such obligations, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b) Each Company shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to obtain, preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect
the rights, licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights,
trademarks and trade names material to the conduct of its business; maintain and
operate such business in substantially the manner in which it is presently
conducted and operated; comply with all applicable Requirements of Law
(including any and all Gaming Laws and any and all zoning, building,
Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any building permits or any
restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Real Property) and decrees
and orders of any Governmental Authority, whether now in effect or hereafter
enacted, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; pay and
perform its obligations under all material Leases; and at all times maintain and
preserve all property material to the conduct of such business and keep such
property in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and
proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and replacements (including
those necessary as a result of a Casualty Event) thereto necessary in order that
the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all
times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.01(b) shall prevent (i)
sales of assets, consolidations or mergers by or involving any Company in
accordance with Section 10.05; (ii) the withdrawal by any Company of its
qualification as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where such
withdrawal, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) the abandonment by any Company
of any rights, franchises, licenses and patents that such person reasonably
determines are not useful to its business.


<PAGE>
                                      -81-


                  (c) Each Company shall keep itself fully licensed with all
licenses required to operate such person's business under applicable law,
maintain such person's qualification to participate in the gaming industry in
the manner in existence on the Closing Date, except to the extent that the loss
or relinquishment of such qualification, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower will
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent copies of all
reports and correspondence it or any Subsidiary sends or receives relating to
any loss or revocation (or threatened loss or revocation) of any qualification
described in this paragraph. Borrower shall file with the New Jersey Casino
Control Commission and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (i)
executed copies of the Credit Documents within five business days of the Closing
Date and (ii) a list of the names and interests held by the Lenders hereunder
promptly after the Closing Date.

                  SECTION 9.02. Insurance. (a) Each Company shall keep its
insurable property adequately insured at all times by financially sound and
reputable insurers; maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against
such risks, including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage,
as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses operating in
the same or similar locations, including public liability insurance against
claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring upon, in, about
or in connection with the use of any property owned, occupied or controlled by
it; and maintain such other insurance as may be required by law; and, with
respect to the Collateral, otherwise maintain all insurance coverage required
under the applicable Security Documents.

                  (b) Notify the Agents immediately whenever any separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required to be maintained under this Section 9.02 is taken out by Borrower; and
promptly deliver to the Agents a duplicate original copy of such policy or
policies.

                  SECTION 9.03. Taxes. Each Company shall timely file all Tax
Returns required to be filed by it (which Tax Returns shall be accurate in all
material respects) and pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its
income or profits or in respect of its property, before the same shall become
delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien upon such
properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment and
discharge shall not be required with respect to any such tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and such Company shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with
GAAP and such contest operates to suspend collection of the contested
obligation, tax, assessment or charge and enforcement of a Lien and, in the case
of Collateral, the Lien with respect to such Tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim and the contest thereof shall satisfy the Contested Collateral Lien
Conditions.

                  SECTION 9.04. Financial Statements, Etc. Borrower shall
deliver to the Agents and each of the Lenders:

         financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
         Consolidated Companies as at the end of, and for, such fiscal year in
         conformity with GAAP, consistently applied; Borrower shall supply such

         thereof); provided that such Liens do not extend to assets not subject

acquire any additional Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the

without such consent so long as (i) 100% of the Equity Interest of any new

pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) under the Security Agreement,
(ii) upon the creation or establishment of any such new Subsidiary such

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                Events of Default


                  If one or more of the following events (herein called "Events
of Default") shall occur and be continuing:

                  (a) any representation or warranty made or deemed made
         pursuant to any Credit Document or the borrowings or issuances of
         Letters of Credit hereunder, or any representation, warranty, statement
         or information contained in any report, certificate, financial
         statement or other instrument furnished pursuant to any Credit
         Document, shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material
         respect when so made, deemed made or furnished;

                  (b) default shall be made in the payment of (i) any principal
         of any Loan or the reimbursement with respect to any Reimbursement
         Obligation when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether
         at the stated maturity upon prepayment or repayment or by acceleration
         thereof or otherwise) and (ii) any interest on any Loans when and as
         the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue
         unremedied for a period of three Business Days;

                  (c) default shall be made in the payment of any fee or any
         other amount (other than an amount referred to in (b) above) due under
         any Credit Document, when and as the

<PAGE>
                                     -104-


         same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue
         unremedied for a period of five Business Days;

                  (d) default shall be made in the due observance or performance
         by any Company of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in
         Section 9.01(a), 9.05 or 9.08 or in Article X;

                  (e) default shall be made in the due observance or performance
         by any Company of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in any
         Credit Document (other than those specified in (b), (c) or (d) above)
         and such default shall continue unremedied or shall not be waived for a
         period of 20 days after written notice thereof from the Collateral
         Agent or any Lender to Borrower; provided, however, if such default is
         not susceptible of cure by the payment of money and cannot with
         reasonable diligence be cured within such 20-day period, and if the
         Company that is in default shall have commenced to cure such default
         within the 20-day period and thereafter diligently continues to
         prosecute such cure, such period shall be deemed extended for so long
         as shall be required by such Company in the exercise of reasonable
         diligence to cure such default, but in no event shall the 20-day period
         be extended beyond 180 days.

                  (f) any Company shall (i) fail to pay any principal or
         interest, regardless of amount, due in respect of any Indebtedness
         (other than the Obligations), when and as the same shall become due and
         payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), or (ii)
         fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant, condition or
         agreement contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or
         governing any such Indebtedness if the effect of any failure referred
         to in this clause (ii) is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders
         of such Indebtedness or a trustee on its or their behalf (with or
         without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) to cause, such
         Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; provided that
         it shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this paragraph
         (f) unless the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness referred to in
         clauses (i) and (ii) exceeds $3.5 million at any one time;

                  (g) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an
         involuntary petition shall be filed in a court of competent
         jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of any Company, or of a
         substantial part of the property or assets of any Company, under Title
         11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended,
         or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,

         such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or
         an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be
         entered;

                  (h) any Company shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding
         or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States
         Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Federal,
         state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law;
         (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and
         appropriate manner,


<PAGE>
                                     -105-


         any proceeding or the filing of any petition described in (g) above;
         (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
         custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for any
         Company or for a substantial part of the property or assets of any
         Company; (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a
         petition filed against it in any such proceeding; (v) make a
         general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vi) become unable,
         admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as
         they become due; (vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any
         of the foregoing; or (viii) wind up or liquidate;

                  (i) one or more judgments for the payment of money in an
         aggregate amount in excess of $3.5 million (to the extent not covered
         by third party insurance) shall be rendered against any Company or any
         combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period
         of 30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively
         stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to
         levy upon assets or properties of any Company to enforce any such
         judgment;

                  (j) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken
         together with all other such ERISA Events, is reasonably likely to
         result in a liability of any Company and their ERISA Affiliates in an
         aggregate amount exceeding $3.5 million and such liabilities remain
         unpaid for a period of 30 consecutive days;

                  (k) with respect to any Collateral having a value in excess of
         $500,000, any security interest and Lien purported to be created by any
         Security Document shall cease to be in full force and effect, or shall
         cease to give the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
         Parties, the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be
         created and granted under such Security Documents (including a
         perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on, all of the
         Collateral thereunder (except as otherwise expressly provided in this
         Agreement or such Security Documents)) in favor of the Collateral
         Agent, or shall be asserted by Borrower or any other Credit Party not
         to be, a valid, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise
         expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document)
         security interest in or Lien on the Collateral covered thereby;

                  (l) any Guarantee shall cease to be in full force and effect
         or any of the Guarantors repudiates, or attempts to repudiate, any of
         its obligations under any of the Guarantees;

                  (m) any Credit Document or any material provisions thereof
         shall at any time and for any reason be declared by a court of
         competent jurisdiction to be null and void, or a proceeding shall be
         commenced by any Credit Party or any other person, or by any
         Governmental Authority, seeking to establish the invalidity or
         unenforceability thereof (exclusive of questions of interpretation of
         any provision thereof), or any Credit Party shall repudiate or deny
         that it has any liability or obligation for the payment of principal or
         interest or other obligations purported to be created under any Credit
         Document; or

                                     -106-


then, and in every such event (other than an event described in paragraph (g) or
(h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Collateral Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall, by
notice to Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or
different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the
Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part,
whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together
with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Credit Document,
shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Credit Document to the
contrary notwithstanding; and in any event described in paragraph (g) or (h)
above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the
Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid
accrued fees and all other liabilities of Borrower accrued hereunder and under
any other Credit Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other
Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding.


                                   ARTICLE XII

                                     Agents


                  SECTION 12.01. General Provisions. Each of the Lenders, Agents
and L/C Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its agent and
authorizes Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and the
Security Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Collateral Agent agrees to give promptly to each Lender a
copy of each notice or other document received by it pursuant to any Credit
Document (other than any that are required to be delivered to the Lenders by any
Credit Party).

                  The Lender or other financial institution serving as any Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent, and
such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with any Company or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not such Agent hereunder.

                  No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent
shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the
Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
required by Section 13.04), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no
Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information relating to any Company


<PAGE>
                                     -107-


that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving as such
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
required by Section 13.04) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to Collateral Agent and such
Agent by Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other
Credit Document or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth
herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such
Agent or (vi) making a determination that any condition precedent set forth in
Section 7 that is to be to such Agent's satisfaction is satisfied.

                  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely
upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be
made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a
written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders (or, if so specified
by this Agreement, all Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
as shall be required by Section 13.04) as it deems appropriate or it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action (it being understood that this provision shall not release
Collateral Agent from performing any action with respect to Borrower expressly
required to be performed by it pursuant to the terms hereof) under this
Agreement. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under any Credit Document in accordance with a request
of the Majority Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders),
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

                  Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such
Agent and reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Each Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors
("Related Parties"). The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and
any such sub-agent, and shall apply to


<PAGE>
                                     -108-


their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities of such Agent.

                  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent
as provided in this paragraph, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the
Lenders, L/C Lender (with respect to Collateral Agent only) and Borrower. Upon
any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor which, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall be
reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Lender, appoint a successor Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of
any such bank which, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall be
reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and
such successor. After Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article XII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as such Agent.

                  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, the Lead
Arranger may replace the Collateral Agent at any time for any reason with
another institution with the consent of the Borrower (which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required during the
continuance of an Event of Default). The appointment of any successor Collateral
Agent shall be effective upon the acceptance of such appointment.

                  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be deemed a trustee or other
fiduciary on behalf of any party.

                  SECTION 12.02. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under
Section 13.03, but without limiting the obligations of any Credit Party under
Section 13.03), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the
respective Commitments of and/or Loans and Reimbursement Obligations held by the
Lenders (or, if all of the Commitments shall have been terminated or expired,
ratably in accordance with the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations held by the Lenders), for any and all liabilities
(including pursuant to any Environmental Law), obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, deficiencies, suits, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever
that may be imposed on,


<PAGE>
                                     -109-


incurred by or asserted against such Agent (including by any Lender) arising out
of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out
of any Credit Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to
therein for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in
respect of any of the Credit Documents or other such documents or the
transactions contemplated thereby (including the costs and expenses that the
Credit Parties are obligated to pay under Section 13.03, and including also any
payments under any indemnity granted pursuant to Section 12.4 of the Security
Agreement, or to any Financial Intermediary referred to in Section 9 of the
Security Agreement to which remittances in respect of Receivables, as defined in
the Security Agreement, are to be made but excluding, unless a Default has
occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to
the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, however, that
no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent resulting from
the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be
indemnified. The agreements set forth in this Section 12.02 shall survive the
payment of all Loans and other obligations hereunder and shall be in addition to
and not in lieu of any other indemnification agreements contained in any other
Credit Document.

                  SECTION 12.03. Consents Under Other Credit Documents. Except
as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, the Agents may, with the prior
consent of the Majority Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any
modification, supplement or waiver under any of the other Credit Documents.

                  SECTION 12.04. Collateral Sub-Agents. Each Lender by its
execution and delivery of this Agreement agrees, as contemplated by Article VIII
of the Security Agreement, that, in the event it shall hold any Cash Equivalents
referred to therein, upon the written request of Collateral Agent following the
occurrence of an Event of Default and the execution and delivery by Collateral
Agent, such Lender and the applicable Credit Party of a mutually acceptable
control agreement with respect to such Cash Equivalent (it being understood that
no Lender is obligated to enter into any such control agreement), such Cash
Equivalents shall be held in the name and under the control of such Lender, and
such Lender shall hold such Cash Equivalents as a collateral sub-agent for
Collateral Agent thereunder. Each Credit Party by its execution and delivery of
this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing. In such event, such Lender
acting in the capacity of a sub-agent shall be afforded all protections set
forth in this Article XII as if acting as Collateral Agent with respect to such
holdings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 4.07 hereof, no Lender
(other than Collateral Agent acting in such capacity) which is acting as a
Financial Intermediary (as defined in the Security Agreement) with respect to
any Financial Account Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) shall
have any duty or obligation (whether express or implied) to the other Lenders in
respect of such Financial Account Collateral or the disposition thereof unless
such Lender, Collateral Agent and the applicable Credit Party have entered into
a Financial Account Consent Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement) or
other control or similar agreement with respect to such Financial Account
Collateral (it being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to
enter into any such agreement).

                                  Miscellaneous


                  SECTION 13.01. Waiver. No failure on the part of any Creditor
to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect
to, any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege under any Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies
provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.

                  SECTION 13.02. Notices. All notices, requests and other
communications provided for herein and under the Security Documents (including

                  SECTION 13.03. Expenses, Indemnification, Etc. (a) The Credit
Parties, jointly and severally, agree to pay or reimburse:

                  (i) Agents for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
         expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of Cahill Gordon &
         Reindel or other counsel to Agents selected by Lead Arranger and
         Collateral Agent (and all local counsel deemed necessary by Agents)) in
         connection with (1) the negotiation, preparation, execution and
         delivery of the Credit Documents and the extension and syndication of
         credit hereunder, (2) the negotiation, preparation, execution and
         delivery of any modification, supplement, amendment or waiver of any of
         the terms of any Credit Document (whether or not consummated or
         effective), (3) the enforcement of any Credit Document, and (4) the
         syndication of the Loans and Commitments;

                 (ii) each Creditor for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
         expenses of such Creditor (including the reasonable fees and expenses
         of legal counsel and costs with internal counsel) in connection with
         (1) any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from any
         Default, including all manner of participation in or other involvement
         with (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up
         or liquidation proceedings, (y) judicial or regulatory proceedings and
         (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or proceedings
         (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated
         thereby is consummated), (2) the enforcement of this Section 13.03 and
         (3) any documentary taxes; and

<PAGE>
                                     -111-


                (iii) Collateral Agent for all reasonable costs, expenses,
         taxes, assessments and other charges (including reasonable fees and
         disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any filing,
         registration, recording or perfection of any security interest
         contemplated by any Credit Document or any other document referred to
         therein.

Without limiting the rights of any Lender under this Section 13.03(a), each
Lender, upon request of Borrower from time to time, will advise Borrower of an
estimate of any amount anticipated to be recovered under this Section 13.03(a).

                  (b) The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to
indemnify each Creditor and their respective Affiliates, directors, trustees,
officers, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnitee") from, and hold each of
them harmless against, and that no Indemnitee will have any liability for, any
and all Losses incurred by any of them (including any and all Losses incurred by
any Agent or L/C Lender to any Lender, whether or not any Creditor is a party
thereto) directly or indirectly arising out of or by reason of or relating to
the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement
of any Credit Document, any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit
Documents (including the Transactions), any breach by any Company of any
representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in any Credit
Document in connection with any of the Transactions, the use or proposed use of
any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the issuance of or performance under any
Letter of Credit or the use of any collateral security for the Loans (including
the exercise by any Creditor of the rights and remedies or any power of attorney
with respect thereto and any action or inaction in respect thereof), including
all amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.02, but excluding any
such Losses to the extent finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the Indemnitee.

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit
Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Creditor and each other
Indemnitee from, and hold each Creditor and each other Indemnitee harmless
against, any Losses described in the preceding sentence arising under any
Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of
any Company (or any predecessor in interest to any Company), (ii) the past,
present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or
used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor in interest), or (iii)
any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or
from any such site or facility, including any such Release or threatened Release
that shall occur during any period when any Creditor shall be in possession of
any such site or facility following the exercise by such Creditor of any of its
rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided,
however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from
indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence.

                  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold
harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit
Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative
of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and
severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted
to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the persons indemnified hereunder.


<PAGE>
                                     -112-


                  The Credit Parties also agree that no Indemnitee shall have
any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) for
any Losses to any Credit Party or any Credit Party's security holders or
creditors resulting from, arising out of, in any way related to or by reason of
any matter referred to in any indemnification or expense reimbursement
provisions set forth in any Credit Document, except to the extent that any Loss
is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.

                  The Credit Parties agree that, without the prior written
consent of Collateral Agent, Lead Arranger and the Majority Lenders which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Credit Party will settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is reasonably likely to be sought
under the indemnification provisions of this Section 13.03 (whether or not any
Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding), unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional written release of
each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and does not
include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act
by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and does not involve any payment of money or
other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or
stipulations binding on any Indemnitee.

                  SECTION 13.04. Amendments, Etc. (i) No provision of any Credit
Document may be amended, modified or supplemented except by an instrument in
writing signed by the Credit Parties party thereto and the Majority Lenders, or
by the Credit Parties party thereto and the Lead Arranger acting with the
written consent of the Majority Lenders, and no provision of any Credit Document
may be waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Credit Parties
party thereto and the Majority Lenders, or by the Credit Parties party thereto
and the Lead Arranger acting with the written consent of the Majority Lenders;
provided, however, that:

                  (a) no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall,

         other Lender or Agent is needed in each such case)): (I) extend the
         scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note, or extend the expiration
         date of any Letter of Credit beyond the R/C Maturity Date, or reduce

         interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to clause (b) of
         Section 3.02) or fees thereon, or extend the time of payment of
         interest or fees thereon (other than in connection with the extension
         of any scheduled payment hereunder otherwise permitted hereby), or
         reduce the principal amount thereof, or make any change to the
         definition of Applicable Margin or Applicable R/C Fee Percentage (or
         Annex B or Annex C) or any defined term used therein in the context of
         being used therein in each case if the effect thereof would be to
         reduce the rate of interest or any fee applicable to any Loan or
         Commitment from that previously in effect (it being understood that any
         increase in the rate of interest or fee applicable to any Loan or
         Commitment only requires the consent of the Majority Lenders), or,
         subject to Section 13.04(iv), make any change to the last sentence of
         the first paragraph of Section 2.09, or reduce the Reimbursement
         Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, (II) extend the final
         maturity of any of the Commitments or

         reduce the percentages specified in the definition of the term
         "Majority Lenders" or amend any provision of any Credit Document
         requiring the consent of all the Lenders or reduce any other percentage
         of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights
         hereunder or to modify any provision hereof (it being understood,
         however, that only the consent of the Lenders included in such
         percentage need be obtained), (VI) release any Guarantor from its
         obligations under Section 6 (unless permitted by this Agreement), (VII)
         consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its
         rights and obligations under any Credit Document (except that in a
         transaction permitted by Section 10.05 resulting in any Credit Party
         (except Borrower) assigning its rights and obligations under the Credit
         Documents to any other Credit Party no consent of any Lender or Agent
         need be obtained), (VIII) release all or substantially all the
         Collateral or terminate the Lien under any Credit Document in respect
         of all or substantially all the Collateral (except as permitted by the
         Credit Documents) or agree to additional obligations (other than the

         available Interest Period;

                  (b) no such amendment or waiver shall increase the Commitments
         of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the
         consent of such Lender (it being understood that amendments or waivers
         of conditions precedent, covenants or Defaults shall not constitute an
         increase of the Commitment of any Lender);

                  (c) any modification or supplement of or waiver with respect
         to Article XII which affects any Agent in its capacity as such shall
         require the consent of such Agent;

                  (d) no consent of any Lender need be obtained, and the Agents
         are hereby authorized, to release any Lien securing the Obligations on

         13.04(i), the consent of all of the Lenders of the affected Term
         Facility (but no other Lender or Agent) shall be required with respect
         to any extension of any scheduled Amortization Payment or any reduction
         in the amount of any scheduled Amortization Payment (except in
         accordance with Section 2.09 or Section 2.10);

                  (f) no modification, supplement or waiver shall alter the
         provisions of the first paragraph of Section 2.10(b) in a manner that
         would reduce the proportion of any prepayment under Section 2.10(a) to
         be allocated to any Tranche or the order of application among the
         Tranches or the order of application to Loans within a Tranche, in each
         case without the con-

                                     -114-


         sent of the Requisite Tranche Lenders of the Tranche proposed to be
         allocated a lesser prepayment or to have its order of priority
         changed or have the order of application within such Tranche changed as
         a result thereof (it being understood that the increase of any Tranche
         or the addition of a new tranche of credit that is afforded
         substantially the same rights under Section 2.10(b) as the Tranches of
         the same type are then treated under Section 2.10(b) shall only require
         the consent of the Majority Lenders);

                  (g) no reduction of the percentage specified in the definition
         of "Majority Revolving Lenders" shall be made without the consent of
         each Revolving Lender (it being understood that no consent of any other
         Lender or Agent is needed);

                  (h) no reduction of the percentage specified in any subclause
         of the definition of "Requisite Tranche Lenders" shall be made without
         the consent of each Lender of the Tranche contemplated by such
         subclause (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender or
         Agent is needed);

                  (i) no amendment or waiver shall affect the rights or duties
         of L/C Lender in its capacity as such or alter the obligation of any
         Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(e) or 2.03(f) without the
         consent of L/C Lender;

                  (j) no consent of any Lender need be obtained to effect any
         amendment of any Credit Document necessary to comply with Section 9.09
         or Section 9.12;

                  (k) subject to Section 13.04(iv), no amendment or waiver of
         the second paragraph of Section 2.09 or the second sentence of Section
         2.10(b)(i) may be made without the consent of the Lenders having at
         least 75% of the Commitments or Loans of the Term Facility affected
         thereby;

                  (l) no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver may be
         made to any condition precedent to any extension of credit under the
         Revolving Facility set forth in subsection 7.03 without the written
         consent of the Majority Revolving Lenders, it being understood that no
         amendment to or waiver of any representation or warranty or any
         covenant contained in any Credit Document, or of any Default, shall be
         deemed to be effective for purposes of determining whether the
         conditions precedent set forth in subsection 7.03 to the making of any
         extension of credit under the Revolving Loans have been satisfied
         unless the Majority Revolving Lenders shall have consented to such
         amendment or waiver;

                  (m) so long as any Term A Facility Loans, Revolving Loans or
         L/C Liabilities are outstanding or any Revolving Commitments are in
         effect, the date then in effect for any scheduled Amortization Payment
         or the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note of the Term B
         Facility Loans may not be made earlier than the date then in effect and
         the then applicable amount of any such Amortization Payment (other than
         the last Amortization Payment thereon) may not be increased without the
         consent of the Lenders holding a majority of the sum of the Revolving
         Loans, L/C Liabilities, Unutilized R/C Commitments then in effect and

<PAGE>
                                     -115-


         Term A Facility Loans (such Lenders holding such credit exposure, the
         "Majority Pro Rata Lenders") then outstanding;

                  (n) no change shall be made to Section 2.10(b) that provides
         for the Revolving Loans being repaid (or L/C Obligations being cash
         collateralized) or Revolving Commitments being reduced prior to the
         time that no Term Loans are outstanding with the Net Available Proceeds
         of any transaction or event that pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or
         Section 2.10(a)(iv) would otherwise require prepayment of Term Loans
         without the consent of the Lenders holding at least a majority of the
         sum of the aggregate amount of the Term B Facility Loans then
         outstanding (it being understood that the consent of no other Lender or
         Agent need be obtained); and

                  (o) no material change shall be made to the definition of
         "Eligible Person" or to Section 2.11(b) without the consent of the
         Gaming Authority.

                 (ii) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver,
discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as
contemplated by Section 13.04(i)(a) (other than clause (I) of such section), the
consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of
such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower
shall have the right to replace one or more of such non-consenting Lender or
Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more
Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 so long as at the time of such
replacement each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination; provided, however, that Borrower shall not
have the right to replace a Lender solely as a result of the exercise of such
Lender's rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender)
pursuant to clause (I) of Section 13.04(i)(a).

                (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) with
the consent of the Majority Lenders, other additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Majority
Lenders, Majority Revolving Lenders and Requisite Tranche Lenders without notice
to or consent of any other Lender or Agent on substantially the same basis as
the Commitments (and related extensions of credit) are included on the Effective
Date, and (B) it is agreed and understood that, subject to clauses (f), (m) and
(n) of Section 13.04(i), any prepayment required by Section 2.10 (and any
corresponding reduction of the Revolving Commitments) may be modified,
supplemented or waived by the Majority Lenders.

                 (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon any
additional extensions of credit under this Agreement being approved by the
written consent of the Majority Lenders, Lead Arranger, Collateral Agent and the
Credit Parties are hereby authorized to effect amendments (without notice to or
the consent of any other Lender or Agent) to (i) Sections 1.01 and 1.03 for the
purpose of including such appropriate defined terms as may be necessary and
apply to such additional extensions of credit being incorporated into this
Agreement to identify it as a separate Class of Loans (and within the definition
of "Commitments", "Loans", etc.) hereunder (if necessary), and to include it in
the various defined terms relating to required percentages of outstanding
extensions of credit hereunder for purposes of amendments and waivers to the
Credit Documents (e.g., "Majority Lenders", "Requisite Tranche Lenders") so long
as treated on substantially the same terms as other Classes


<PAGE>
                                     -116-


of Loans are then treated; (ii) Section 2.08 to effect conforming changes to
reflect such new Class; (iii) Section 2.09 to treat any such new Class that is a
term extension of credit on substantially the same terms as the Term Facilities
are then treated (including, for any new Class held by lenders similar to the
Lenders of the Term B Facility, the provisions of the second paragraph of
Section 2.09) (it being understood that the order of application of optional
prepayments to amortization payments for such new Class shall be as agreed
between the Credit Parties and the lenders extending such new credit in their
sole discretion) and to treat any such new Class that is a revolving facility on
substantially the same terms as the Revolving Facility is then treated; (iv)
Section 2.10(b) to treat any such new Class that is a term extension of credit
on substantially the same terms as the Term Facilities are then treated
(including, for any new Class held by lenders similar to the Lenders of the Term
B Facility, the provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.10(b)(i)) (it being
understood that the order of application of mandatory prepayments to
amortization payments for such new Class shall be as agreed between the Credit
Parties and the lenders extending such new credit in their sole discretion) and
to treat any such new Class that is a revolving facility on substantially the
same terms as the Revolving Facility is then treated; and (v) Section 3.01(b) to
provide for the amortization for such new Class of Loans as provided for by the
lenders thereof and the Credit Parties in their sole discretion so long as the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any new term extension of credit is not
less than that of the then existing Term Loans and the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of any revolving extension of credit is not less than that of the
Revolving Commitments then in effect.

                  SECTION 13.05. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

                  SECTION 13.06. Assignments and Participations. (a) No Credit
Party may assign its respective rights or obligations hereunder or under the
Notes or any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of all of
the Lenders.

                  (b) Each Lender may assign (which may be non-pro rata among
Loans and Commitments) to any Eligible Person any of its Loans, its Notes, its
L/C Interests and its Commitments (but only with the consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of Borrower and Lead Arranger,
and in the case of the Revolving Commitment, L/C Lender); provided, however,
that (i) no consent of Borrower, Lead Arranger, Collateral Agent, or L/C Lender
shall be required in the case of any assignment to another Lender or any
Lender's Affiliate or an Approved Fund of any Lender (in which case, the
assignee and assignor Lenders shall give notice of the assignment to Lead
Arranger and Collateral Agent); (ii) no consent of Borrower, Lead Arranger,
Collateral Agent or L/C Lender need be obtained if any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or if Lead Arranger, in consultation with
Borrower, determine that such assignment is necessary to achieve a successful
syndication; (iii) each assignment, other than to a Lender or any Lender's
Affiliate or an Approved Fund of any Lender and other than any assignment
effected by Lead Arranger or any of its respective Affiliates in connection with
the syndication of the Commitments and/or Loans or otherwise, shall not reduce
the assignor's Loans and Commitments to less than $2.5 million (unless reduced
to $0 or unless Borrower and Lead Arranger otherwise consent) and shall be in an
aggregate amount of at least $1.0 million (unless the assignor's Loans and
Commitments are reduced to $0 or unless Borrower and Lead Arranger otherwise
consent) and (iv) in no event may any such assignment be made to any Credit
Party or any of its Affiliates without consent of all Lenders unless the
Assignee


<PAGE>
                                     -117-


agrees in writing that its Loans or Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for
any matter under Section 13.04 or any other vote or consent of the Lenders under
the Credit Documents. Any assignment of a Loan shall be effective only upon
appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each
Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of a Loan shall be
registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or
transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan (if a Note was issued in respect
thereof), accompanied by a Notice of Assignment, and upon consent thereto by
Borrower, Lead Arranger and L/C Lender to the extent required above (none of
which consents to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), one or more
new Notes (if requested by the new Lender) in the same aggregate principal
amount shall be issued to the designated assignee (or its nominee) and the old
Notes shall be returned by Collateral Agent to Borrower marked "cancelled". Upon
execution and delivery by the assignee to Borrower and Lead Arranger of a Notice
of Assignment, and upon consent thereto by Borrower, Lead Arranger and L/C
Lender to the extent required above (none of which consents to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), and in the case of a Loan, upon appropriate
entries being made in the Register the assignee shall have, to the extent of
such assignment (unless otherwise provided in such assignment with the consent
of Collateral Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder
holding the Commitment(s), Loans (or portions thereof) and L/C Interests
assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment(s), L/C Interests and Loans, if
any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the
extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment(s) (or portion(s)
thereof) so assigned. Upon any such assignment (other than to a Lender or any
Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund and other than any assignment by any
Agent or any of their respective Affiliates) the assignee Lender shall pay a fee
of $2,000 to Collateral Agent. Upon any such assignment, certain rights and
obligations of the assigning Lender shall survive as set forth in Section 13.07.
Each assignment shall be made pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit L.

                  (c) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other
persons a participation in all or any part of any Loans and L/C Interests held
by it, or in its Commitments, in which event each purchaser of a participation
(a "Participant") shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of the provisions
of Article V (provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to
receive any greater amount pursuant to Article V than the transferor Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the participation effected by
such transferor Lender had no participation occurred) with respect to its
participation in such Loans, L/C Interests and Commitments as if such
Participant were a "Lender" for purposes of said Section, but, except as
otherwise provided in Section 4.07(c), shall not have any other rights or
benefits under any Credit Document (the Participant's rights against such Lender
in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements
executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant). All amounts payable by
Borrower to any Lender under Article V in respect of Loans, L/C Interests and
its Commitments shall be no greater than the amount that would have applied if
such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participation in such Loans, L/C
Interests and Commitments, and as if such Lender were funding each of such Loan,
L/C Interests and Commitments in the same way that it is funding the portion of
such Loan, L/C Interests and Commitments in which no participations have been
sold. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the
Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any
other Credit Document, except that such Lender may agree with the Participant
that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
modification or amendment set forth in subclauses (I), (II), (III) or (VIII) of
clause (a) of the proviso to Section 13.04 to the extent such Lender's consent
is required therefor.

                  (d) In addition to the assignments and participations
permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.06, any Lender may
assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any United
States Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank and, in the case of a Lender that is a fund
that invests in bank loans, any such Lender may assign or pledge all or any
portion of its Loans and its Notes to any holders of obligations owed, or
securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities,
or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, without
notice to or consent of Borrower, Collateral Agent, Lead Arranger or L/C Lender.
Any transfer as a result of the foreclosure on such pledge shall be subject to
Section 13.06(b). No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder.

                  (e) A Lender may furnish any information concerning any
Company in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and
participants (including prospective assignees and participants) subject,
however, to and so long as the recipient agrees to be bound by the provisions of
Section 13.11. In addition, each Agent may furnish any information concerning
any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates in such Agent's possession to any
Affiliate of such Agent, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 13.11.
The Credit Parties shall assist the Lead Arranger for a period of 60 days
following the Closing Date in effectuating any assignment or participation
pursuant to this Section 13.06 (including during syndication) in whatever manner
such Lender reasonably deems necessary, including participation in meetings with
prospective transferees.

                  SECTION 13.07. Survival. The obligations of the Credit Parties
under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06 and 13.03, the obligations of each Guarantor
under Section 6.03, and the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 5.06 and
12.02, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender that may
assign any interest in its Commitments, Loans or L/C Interest hereunder, shall
(to the extent relating to such time as it was a Lender) survive the making of
such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a
"Lender" hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or
deemed to be made by a notice of any extension of credit, herein or pursuant
hereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and
the making of any extension of credit hereunder, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that
Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
or incorrect representation or warranty and regardless of whether any such
representation or warranty under the Acquisition Agreement survives the RIH
Acquisition.

                  SECTION 13.08. Captions. The table of contents and captions
and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of
this Agreement.

                  SECTION 13.09. Counterparts; Interpretation; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the Fee Letter and the Collateral Agent's Fee Letter constitute the entire
con-


<PAGE>
                                     -119-


tract among the parties thereto relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof, other than the Fee Letter and the
indemnity, confidentiality, waiver of jury trial and governing law provisions of
the Commitment Letter and the provisions of Section 2 of the Commitment Letter,
which are not superseded and survive solely as to the parties thereto. This
Agreement shall become effective when the Effective Date shall have occurred and
this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by the Credit Parties and
each Agent and when Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Upon
the effectiveness of this Agreement, all commitments to provide any financing
pursuant to the Commitment Letter shall permanently terminate.

                  SECTION 13.10. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction;
Waivers; Etc. (a) Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Laws of
the State of New, each Credit Document shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of laws thereof (except in the case of the other Credit
Documents, to the extent otherwise expressly stated therein). Each Credit Party
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (I) submits for itself and its Property
in any Proceeding relating to any Credit Document to which it is a party, or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the
non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; (II)
consents that any such Proceeding may be brought in any such court; (III) agrees
that service of process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy
thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to Borrower at its address set forth on the signature
page hereto or at such other address of which Collateral Agent shall have been
notified pursuant thereto; and (IV) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the
right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

                  (b) EACH CREDIT PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

                  SECTION 13.11. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep
confidential information obtained by it pursuant to the Credit Documents
confidential in accordance with such Lender's customary practices and agrees
that it will only use such information in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and not disclose any of such information other than (a) to
such Lender's employees, representatives, directors, attorneys, auditors,
agents, professional advisors, trustees or affiliates who are advised of the
confidential nature thereof or to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional
advisor (so long as


<PAGE>
                                     -120-


such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual
counterparty agrees to be bound by the provision of this Section 13.11, such
Lender being liable for any breach of confidentiality by any person described in
this clause (a) and with respect to disclosures to Affiliates to the extent
disclosed by such Lender to such Affiliate), (b) to the extent such information
presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender on a non-confidential
basis from a person not an Affiliate of such Lender not known to such Lender to
be violating a confidentiality obligation by such disclosure, (c) to the extent
disclosure is required by any Law, subpoena or judicial order or process
(provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished
to Borrower unless such notice is legally prohibited) or requested or required
by bank, securities, insurance or investment company regulations or auditors or
any administrative body or commission (including the Securities Valuation Office
of the NAIC) to whose jurisdiction such Lender may be subject, (d) to any rating
agency to the extent required in connection with any rating to be assigned to
such Lender, (e) to assignees or participants or prospective assignees or
participants who agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section
13.11, (f) to the extent required in connection with any litigation between any
Credit Party and any Creditor with respect to the Loans or any Credit Document
or (g) with Borrower's prior written consent.

                  SECTION 13.12. Independence of Representations, Warranties and
Covenants. The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall
be independent of each other and no exception to any representation, warranty or
covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation,
warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any
such exception be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in
contravention of applicable law.

                  SECTION 13.13. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.
