 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note
conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note
Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without
the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any

with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Affiliate of the Company.

for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have
no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
  

	Section 2.05	Holder Lists. 

 The
Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 

Section 2.06         Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes shall be issued
in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer
as requested if the requirements of this Indenture are met. 
 When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with
a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary
or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if: 

(1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

 If
any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect
the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however,
Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a)(1) hereof. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

Table of Contents


 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

  

	Section 2.09	Treasury Notes. 

 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 
  

	Section 2.10	Temporary Notes. 

 Until
certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but

 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

 

	Section 2.11	Cancellation. 

 The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will

	Section 2.12	Defaulted Interest. 

 If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The
Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before
the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

 The
Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may

the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price; 
 (3) if any Note is being redeemed in
part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the
original Note; 
 (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

redemption upon the completion of other transactions, such as refinancings or acquisitions (whether of the Company or by the Company).

in the case of either clause (A) above or this clause (B), together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the earlier of the date of redemption or the date of the denial of license or qualification or of the
finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to such redemption date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), or 

(C) such other lesser amount as may be required by any Gaming Authority.

the Company’s independent public accountants (who shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead
them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article 4 hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or
indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation. 
 (c) So long as any of the Notes are

Investment exceed the original amount of such Restricted Investment. 
 With respect to clauses (4), (6), (16), (18) and
(19) of this Section 4.07(b), the respective Amount Limitation under each such clause, as applicable, shall also be increased when any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted
Subsidiary (each such increase also referred to as an “Amount Limitation Restoration”) by the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Restricted Investment made under clause (4), (6), (16), (18) or (19) of this
Section 4.07(b), as the case may be, in such Person as of the date it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or in such Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the date of redesignation, as the case may be, or (ii) the fair market value of such Restricted
Investment as of the date such Restricted Investment was originally made in such Person or, in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into a Restricted Subsidiary which Subsidiary was designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
after the date of this Indenture, the amount of the Company’s Restricted Investment therein as determined under the first paragraph of Section 4.19(a), plus the aggregate fair market value of any additional Investments (each valued as of

(c) Not less than once each fiscal quarter in which the Company has made a Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate stating that each Restricted Payment (and any Amount Limitation Restoration relied upon in making such Restricted Payment) made during the prior fiscal quarter complies with this Indenture and setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis upon which the required calculations were computed, including any applicable calculations of the Vietnam Receipts, the Vietnam Contribution Amount and the Reclassified Vietnam Receipts (upon which the Trustee may
conclusively rely without any investigation whatsoever), which calculations may be based upon the Company’s latest available internal quarterly financial statements. In the event that the Company makes one or more Restricted Payments in an
amount exceeding $5.0 million that have not been covered by an Officers’ Certificate issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted
Payments (and any Amount Limitation Restoration relied upon in making such Restricted Payment) comply with this Indenture and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which the required calculations were computed (upon which the Trustee may
conclusively rely without any investigation whatsoever), which calculations may be based upon the Company’s latest available internal quarterly financial statements. In the event the Company fails to deliver any such report described in this
paragraph to the Trustee, such failure shall not constitute a Default until and unless the Company has failed to deliver such report after written notice to the Company of such failure by the Trustee or by a Holder.

 (G) any encumbrance or restriction contained in Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no less favorable to the Holders of the Notes, taken as a whole, in the good faith judgment of the
Board of the Company than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced; 
 (H) agreements governing Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date, including the Bank Credit Agreement, and any amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not more
restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Indenture, taken as a whole; 

(I) agreements governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to
Section 4.09 hereof, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of such Indebtedness; provided that neither such Indebtedness nor any such amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to the Notes, this Indenture and the Guarantees, taken as a whole; or 

(J) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that

	Section 4.09	Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

 (a) The Company will not, directly or indirectly: 
 (1) Incur any
Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Capital Stock, other than Permitted Indebtedness, or 
 (2) cause or
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Capital Stock or preferred stock, in each case, other than Permitted Indebtedness. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, the Company may issue Disqualified Capital Stock and may Incur Indebtedness (including,
without limitation, Acquired Debt), and any Guarantor may issue preferred stock or Incur Indebtedness (including without limitation, Acquired Debt), and any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Obligor may Incur Senior Debt (including
without limitation, Senior Debt that is Acquired Debt), if: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of the proposed Incurrence or issuance or would result as a consequence of such proposed Incurrence or issuance, and 

  
 57 








Table of Contents


 (2) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such proposed Incurrence or
issuance and the receipt and application of the net proceeds therefrom, the Company’s Consolidated Coverage Ratio would not be less than 2.00:1.00. 
 Any Indebtedness of any Person existing at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of capital stock or otherwise) shall be deemed to be Incurred as of
the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in
the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (18) of such definition or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b),
the Company will, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to
Section 4.09(b). The Company may classify any item of Indebtedness in part under one or more of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness and/or in part as Indebtedness entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b), and may reclassify
any outstanding Indebtedness in whole or in part from time to time in its sole discretion. Accrual of interest, the accretion of principal amount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same
terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section. 
  

	Section 4.10	Asset Sales. 

 No Obligor
will, directly or indirectly,: 
 (1) consummate an Asset Sale unless such Obligor, receives consideration at
the time of such Asset Sale (or at such earlier time as such Obligor becomes obligated to complete such Asset Sale) at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or of which other disposition is made (as determined reasonably and in
good faith by the Board of such Obligor), and 
 (2) consummate or enter into a binding obligation to consummate
an Asset Sale unless at least 75% of the consideration received by such Obligor from such Asset Sale will be cash or Cash Equivalents and will be received at the time of the consummation of any such Asset Sale. For purposes of this provision, each
of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 
 (A) any liabilities as shown on the Obligor’s most recent
balance sheet (or in the notes thereto) (other than (i) Indebtedness subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, (ii) contingent liabilities, (iii) liabilities or Indebtedness to Affiliates of the Company and (iv) Non-Recourse
Indebtedness) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, and 
 (B) to the extent of the cash
received, any notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by such Obligor into cash within 90 days of receipt. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Obligor may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with the foregoing provisions if: 

(1) such Obligor receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the
assets or other property sold, issued or otherwise disposed of (as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of such Obligor), and 

  
 58 








Table of Contents


 (2) the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets;
provided that any non-cash consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by such Obligor in connection with such Asset Sale that is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Cash Equivalents at any time within
360 days after such Asset Sale and any Productive Assets constituting cash or Cash Equivalents received by such Obligor in connection with such Asset Sale shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions set forth above. 

Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company or the affected Obligor will be required to apply an amount equal to all Net Cash
Proceeds that are received from such Asset Sale within 360 days of the receipt thereof either: 
 (1) to
reinvest (or enter into a binding commitment to invest, if such investment is effected within 360 days after the date of such commitment) in Productive Assets or in Asset Acquisitions not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, or 

(2) to permanently prepay or repay Senior Debt of any Obligor and if such Senior Debt is revolving credit indebtedness,
to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto. 
 Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the
Obligors may temporarily reduce revolving Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 On the 361st day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of the Company or the affected Obligor determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set
forth in clauses (1) or (2) of the third paragraph of this Section 4.10 (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds
Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (1) or (2) of the third paragraph of this Section 4.10 (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”), will be applied by the Company to make an offer to purchase (the “Net
Proceeds Offer”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof, on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer
Trigger Date, on a pro rata basis (A) Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, on the Net Proceeds Offer
Payment Date and (B) the outstanding 8.75% Notes and/or other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or an Obligor which is pari passu with the Notes, in each case to the extent required by the terms thereof; provided that if at any time
within 360 days after an Asset Sale any non-cash consideration received by the Company or the affected Obligor in connection with such Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash, then such conversion or disposition will
be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied in accordance with this Section. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes, 8.75% Notes and/or other pari passu Indebtedness tendered
pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Obligors may use any remaining proceeds of such Asset Sales for general corporate purposes (but subject to the other terms of this Indenture). Upon completion of a
Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount relating to such Net Proceeds Offer will be deemed to be zero for purposes of any subsequent Asset Sale. In the event that a Restricted Subsidiary consummates an Asset Sale, only that portion of the
Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (including any Net Cash Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of any noncash proceeds received in connection with an Asset Sale) that are distributed to or received by any Obligor will be required to be
applied by the Obligors in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. 

  
 59 








Table of Contents


 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $25 million the
application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent
to the date of this Indenture from all Asset Sales by the Obligors in respect of which a Net Proceeds Offer has not been made aggregate at least $25 million, at which time the affected Obligor will apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net
Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer (each date on which the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is equal to $25 million or more will be deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date).
In connection with any Asset Sale with respect to assets having a book value in excess of $25 million or as to which it is expected that the aggregate consideration therefor to be received by the affected Obligor will exceed $25 million in value,
such Asset Sale will be approved, prior to the consummation thereof, by the Board of the applicable Obligor. 
 The Company will
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will
not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
  

	Section 4.11	Transactions with Affiliates. 

 (a) No Obligor may make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any
transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is, considered in light of any series of related transactions of which it comprises a
part, on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to such Obligor than those that might reasonably have been obtained at such time in a comparable transaction or series of related transactions on an arms-length basis from a Person
that is not such an Affiliate; 
 (2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving the transfer of
aggregate consideration with a fair value of $20 million or more from the affected Obligor, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of the Company (and of any other affected Obligor, where applicable) shall, prior to the consummation of
any portion of such Affiliate Transaction, have reasonably and in good faith determined, as evidenced by a resolution of its Board, that such Affiliate Transaction meets the requirements of the foregoing clause; and 

(3) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving the transfer of aggregate consideration with a fair value of $30
million or more from the affected Obligor, the Board of the applicable Obligor shall have received prior to the consummation of any portion of such Affiliate Transaction, a written opinion from an independent investment banking, accounting or
appraisal firm of recognized national standing that such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are fair to such Obligor from a financial point of view. 
 (b) The foregoing restrictions will not apply to: 
 (1) reasonable
fees and compensation (including any such compensation in the form of Equity Interests not derived from Disqualified Capital Stock, together with loans and advances, the proceeds of which are used to acquire such Equity Interests) paid to, and
indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Obligors as determined in good faith by the Board or senior management,

 (2) any transaction solely between or among Obligors and Restricted
Subsidiaries to the extent any such transaction is otherwise in compliance with, or not prohibited by, this Indenture, 
 (3) any Restricted Payment permitted by the terms of the covenant described above under Section 4.07 or any Permitted Investment, 

(4) provision of management and related services (including intellectual property rights and the use of corporate
aircraft in providing such management services) (including any agreements therefor) to an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an ACDL Entity in connection with the development, construction and operation of gaming facilities or any Related Business, provided
the Obligor is reimbursed for all non-ordinary course costs and expenses it incurs in providing such services and, provided further, that such Obligor shall not be required to allocate employee compensation for management services provided by
employees of Obligors to Unrestricted Subsidiaries or ACDL Entities in connection with such employees’ services to Obligors, or 
 (5) transactions pursuant to agreements existing on the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or by any replacement
agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by the Company’s
Board. 
  

	Section 4.12	Liens. 

 No Obligor may,
directly or indirectly, create, Incur or assume any Lien, except a Permitted Lien, securing Indebtedness that is pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the Guaranties, on or with respect to any of its property or assets
including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, unless: 

(1) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or the
Guaranties, the Notes or the Guaranties are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to or pari passu with such Lien, and 

(2) in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the Guaranties,
the Notes or the Guaranties are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien. 

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or such Guaranty under this Section 4.12. 

 

	Section 4.13	Business Activities. 


The Obligors will not engage in any lines of business other than the Core Businesses.

	Section 4.14	Legal Existence. 


Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

 (1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and 

(2) the corporate or entity franchises and rights (charter and statutory) of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such franchise or right, or the corporate,
partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
  

	Section 4.15	Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
of $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the
“Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Company will comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 14(e) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will include all instructions and materials necessary to enable Holders to tender their Notes. 

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.09 or 4.15 hereof, the
Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance. 

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of
Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by such Holder, if
any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the
Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) Prior to complying with the provisions of this Section 4.15, but in any event within
90 days following a Change of Control, the Company will either: 
 (1) repay all outstanding obligations with
respect to Senior Debt, 
 (2) obtain the requisite consents, if any, from the holders of Senior Debt to permit
the repurchase of the Notes required by this Section, or 
 (3) deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate to the effect that no action of the kind described in clause (1) or (2) is necessary. 
 The Change of
Control provisions described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 and Section 3.09 hereof and purchases
all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption with respect to all of the Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the
applicable redemption price. 
  

	Section 4.16	No Subordinated Debt Senior to The Notes or Guaranties. 

 No Obligor will Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes or the Guaranties. No such
Indebtedness will be considered to be senior by virtue of being secured on a first or junior priority basis. 
  

	Section 4.17	No Amendment to Subordination Provisions. 

 Without the consent of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the Obligors will not amend, modify or alter the terms of any indebtedness subordinated to the Notes or the
Guaranties in any way that will: 
 (1) increase the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on such
subordinated indebtedness, 
 (2) increase the principal of, advance the final maturity date of or shorten the

 63 








Table of Contents


 (4) amend the subordination provisions of any documents, instruments or
agreements governing any such subordinated indebtedness, 
 except to the extent that any of the foregoing would be required to
permit any Obligor to make a Restricted Payment permitted by Section 4.07. 
  

	Section 4.18	Additional Guaranties. 


If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Material Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture or
if any Subsidiary becomes a Material Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then, subject to the applicable Gaming Laws, the Company will cause that newly acquired or created Material Restricted Subsidiary or Subsidiary that becomes a Material
Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and execute a Notation of Guaranty pursuant to a supplemental indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on
which it was acquired or created or became a Material Restricted Subsidiary to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by that Material Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of that Material Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). The form of such Notation of Guaranty is attached as Exhibit D hereto. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all
Gaming Approvals necessary to permit its Material Restricted Subsidiaries to become Guarantors as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, President Riverboat Casino-Missouri, Inc., a Restricted Subsidiary, will not be a Guarantor of
the Notes unless and until additional assets of $500,000 or more are contributed by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to such Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, at which time it will be required to become a Guarantor of the
Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture as described above. 
  

	Section 4.19	Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

 (a) The Board of the Company may designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries if such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, all
outstanding Investments by the Obligors (except to the extent repaid in cash or in kind) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted
Payments under Section 4.07(a) to the extent that such deemed Restricted Payments would not be excluded from such calculation under Section 4.07(b) or will reduce the amount available under one or more clauses of the definition of
Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the greatest of: 

(1) the net book value of such Investments at the time of such designation, 

(2) the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation, and 

(3) the original fair market value of such Investments at the time they were made. 

Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary
otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing conditions and was
permitted by Section 4.07. If at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing 

  
 64

requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company shall be in default of such Section 4.09. The Board of the Company may at any
time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if: 
 (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under
Section 4.09, and, if applicable, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the reference period, and 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default would be caused by such designation. 
 As of
the Issue Date, the following entities shall be Unrestricted Subsidiaries: Casino Magic (Europe), B.V., Casino Magic Hellas Management Services, S.A., Landing Condominium, LLC, PNK Development 10, LLC, PNK Development 11, LLC, PNK Development 17,

on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such predecessor Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of,

	Section 6.01	Events of Default. 

 Each

of interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Notes or the Guaranties (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of this Indenture); 
 (2) default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes or the Guaranties when due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (whether or not prohibited by

agreements in this Indenture, the Notes or the Guaranties for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or by Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class;

 (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may
be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by any Obligor (or the payment of which is guaranteed by any Obligor) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default: 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”), or 
 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity

which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25 million or more; 
 (5) failure by any Obligor to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25 million, net of any applicable insurance, the carrier or underwriter with respect to which has acknowledged liability in

involuntary case, 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
property, or 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, and 

(7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against any Obligor in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a custodian of any Obligor or for all or substantially all of the property of any Obligor; or 

(C) orders the liquidation of any Obligor; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 

 

	Section 6.02	Acceleration. 

 If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Obligors that, taken together as a whole,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), including, without limitation, an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to a single Obligor that does not constitute a Significant Subsidiary
or a group of Obligors that taken together as a whole would not constitute a Significant Subsidiary, occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes and Guaranties then outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such notice the principal amount, in either case, together with any
accrued and unpaid interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes or the Guaranties then outstanding will become immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture, the Notes or the Guaranties
to the contrary. Upon the occurrence of specified Events of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Obligors that, taken together
as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, will immediately and automatically become due and payable, without the necessity
of notice or any other action by any Person. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture, the Notes or the Guaranties except as provided in this Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered
to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the sole remedy
for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations described under Section 4.03, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a) of the TIA, will for the 365 days after the
occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. This Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and
subject to the same terms as other interest payable under this Indenture. The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting
obligations described under Section 4.03 or Section 314(a) of the TIA first occurs to but not excluding the
365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the
Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations described under Section 4.03 or Section 314(a) of the TIA shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to such reporting obligations is cured or waived prior to such
365th day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue
and the Notes will be subject to the other remedies as provided under this Section 6.02 if the Event of Default is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the
event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. 

In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of any
Obligor with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately
due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to [            ], 2017 by reason of any willful action (or inaction)
taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to [            ], 2017 (other than a redemption of Notes
permitted by Sections 3.07(d) or (e)), then the additional premium shall also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes and Guaranties, in an amount, for each of the years beginning on
[            ] of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of payment that would otherwise be due but for
the provisions of this sentence):

	Section 6.03	Other Remedies. 

 If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the
Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Table of Contents



	Section 6.04	Waiver of Past Defaults. 


The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes or the
Guaranties (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted solely from such acceleration). The waiver by the holders of any Indebtedness described in clause (4) of Section 6.01 of the predicating default under such Indebtedness shall be deemed a waiver of
such Default or Event of Default arising under, and a rescission of any acceleration resulting from the application of clause (4), from the effective date, during the effective period and to the extent of, the waiver by the holders of such other
Indebtedness. Upon any waiver granted or deemed granted in accordance with the terms hereof, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and waived for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	Section 6.05	Control by Majority. 


Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
  

	Section 6.06	Limitation on Suits. 

 A
Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (1) such Holder gives to the
Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) during such
60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

	Section 6.07	Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.

sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

 

	Section 6.09	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable

and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money,
securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Holder in any such proceeding. 
  

	Section 6.10	Priorities. 

 If the
Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment

attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
  

	Section 6.12	Remedies Subject to Applicable Law.

filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 (a)
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under

§ 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA
§ 313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the

Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be determined to have been caused by its negligence or bad
faith. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the
Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.

comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become
effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

 

	Section 8.01	Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

 The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all
outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.02	Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Guaranties) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guaranties),
which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other
obligations under such Notes, the Guaranties and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article
2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
  

	Section 8.03	Covenant Defeasance. 


Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each
of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16,
4.17, 4.18, 4.19 hereof and clauses (2) and (3) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants,
but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Notes and Guaranties, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guaranties will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

 

	Section 8.04	Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 
 (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the
applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
applicable federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election
under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either: 

(A) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from transactions occurring
contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of funds, to be applied to such deposit); or 

(B) insofar as Events of Default resulting from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period
ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (in which case such defeasance shall have been effective on the date of deposit until the time of such occurrence and, upon such occurrence, shall immediately cease to be effective); 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 

(6) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to customary exceptions)
to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to avoidance as preferential transfers in any proceeding by or gainst the Company under any applicable Bankruptcy Law; 

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

	Section 8.05	Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 


Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including any Obligor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due
and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or
non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company
from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance. 
  

	Section 8.06	Repayment to Company. 


Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request
or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
  

	Section 8.07	Reinstatement. 

 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guaranties will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company
makes any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and
Guaranties by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 11 hereof; 
 (4) to
make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder; 

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA; 
 (6) to comply with requirements of applicable Gaming Laws or to provide for requirements imposed by
applicable Gaming Authorities; 
 (7) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the
“Description of notes” section of the Company’s prospectus supplement dated March , 2012, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a
verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Guaranties or the Notes; 
 (8) to provide for the
issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof, including any revisions to transfer mechanics in Article 2 of this Indenture appropriate for such Additional Notes; or 

(9) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Notation of Guaranty with respect to the Notes.

 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or

	Section 9.02	With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof and the
defined terms used therein) and the Notes and the Guaranties with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a
single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of
this Indenture or the Notes or the Guaranties may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes), no waiver or amendment to this Indenture may make any change in the provisions of Article 10, or Article 11 hereof that releases any
Guarantor from its obligations under any Guaranty, that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Notes. Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
 It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes
effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive
compliance in a particular instance by any Obligor with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Guaranties. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not
(with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose
Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, 
 (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed
maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), 

  
 82 








Table of Contents


 (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any
Note, including default interest, 
 (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or
premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment
default that resulted from such acceleration), 
 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in
the Notes, 
 (6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or
the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, 
 (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by one of the conditions in Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), or 

(8) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 

 

	Section 9.03	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

 

	Section 9.04	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee
receives written notice of revocation before the date upon which the requisite consents for the applicable amendment, supplement or waiver have been obtained. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and
thereafter binds every Holder. 
  

	Section 9.05	Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make
the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  

	Section 9.06	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

 The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided

Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10 

SUBORDINATION 
  

	Section 10.01	Agreement to Subordinate. 


Each Obligor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and the Guaranties is
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter Incurred), and that the subordination is for the benefit
of the holders of Senior Debt. No holder of Senior Debt need prove its reliance on this Article 10 to enforce the provisions hereof. 
 A distribution may consist of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise. 
 All Designated Senior Debt now or hereafter existing and all other Obligations relating thereto will not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holders or owners thereof will have received payment
in full in cash with respect to such Designated Senior Debt and all other Obligations with respect thereto including, without limitation, all Accrued Bankruptcy Interest. 

 

	Section 10.02	Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. 

 Upon any distribution to creditors of any Obligor in a liquidation or dissolution of such Obligor or in a proceeding under Bankruptcy Law relating to such Obligor or its property, in an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any marshaling of such Obligor’s assets and liabilities: 
 (1) holders of Senior
Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations in respect of such Senior Debt (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) and to have all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and applicable Hedging Obligations fully cash
collateralized before the Trustee or the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution on Obligations with respect to the Notes and the Guaranties (except that the Trustee or the Holders may receive payments and other distributions
made from any defeasance or redemption trust created pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof and the issuance of Permitted Junior Securities); and 
 (2) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in clause (1) above) are paid in full and all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and applicable Hedging Obligations are fully
cash collateralized, any distribution to which the Trustee or the Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10, including any such distribution that is payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of such Obligor
being subordinated to the payment of the Notes and the Guaranties, will be made to holders of Senior Debt or their Representatives, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of the principal of such Senior Debt, interest (including, without
limitation, Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) thereon and all other Obligations with respect thereto (except that Holders may receive payments and other distributions made from any defeasance or redemption trust created pursuant to Articles 8 or 12
hereof and the issuance of Permitted Junior Securities hereof), as their respective interests may appear.

Table of Contents


 Any holder of Designated Senior Debt may file any proof of claim or similar document on
behalf of the Trustee or any Holder if such a document has not been filed by the date which is 30 days prior to the last day specified for filing of such documents. In any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law, neither the Trustee nor any Holder will
initiate, or vote in support of, any challenge to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt. 
  

	Section 10.03	Default on Designated Senior Debt. 

 (a) The Obligors may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations arising under or in connection with the Notes or the Guaranties and may not acquire from
the Trustee or any Holder any Notes or Guaranties for cash or property (other than payments and other distributions made from any defeasance or redemption trust created pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof and the issuance of Permitted Junior
Securities) until all principal and other Obligations arising under or in connection with the Senior Debt have been paid in full or fully cash-collateralized, if not yet due if: 

(1) a default in the payment of any Obligations with respect to any Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing
(including any default in payment upon the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise), or any judicial proceeding is pending to determine whether any such default has occurred; or 

(2) a default or event of default (as such terms may be defined in any agreement, indenture or other document governing
such Designated Senior Debt), other than a payment default described in subsection (a) above, on Designated Senior Debt, including any default or event of default that would result upon any payment or distribution with respect to the Notes
or the Guaranties, that would cause or permit the acceleration of the maturity of the Designated Senior Debt, occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt as to which such default
relates to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the affected Obligors or the holders of any Designated Senior Debt. If the Trustee receives any such Payment
Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice will be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until at least 360 days will have elapsed since the first day of effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. No
nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee will be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default will have been waived for a period of
not less than 180 days. 
 If the Company is prohibited from making payments on or distributions in respect of the Notes or from
acquiring any Notes under subsection (1) or (2) above, the Company may and will resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon: 

(a) in the case of any prohibition referred to in Section 10.03(a)(1) hereof, the date upon which the default, event
of default or other event giving rise to such prohibition is cured or waived or will have ceased to exist, unless another default, event of default or other event that would prohibit such payment, distribution or acquisition under
Section 10.03(a)(1) has occurred and is continuing, or all Obligations in respect of such Designated Senior Debt will have been discharged or paid in full, or 

(b) in the case of any prohibition referred to in Section 10.03(a)(2) hereof, the earlier of the date on which the
default, event of default or other event giving rise to such prohibition is cured or waived or 179 days pass after the relevant Payment Blockage Notice is

received by the Trustee thereunder, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated, in each such case, if this Article otherwise permits the payment, distribution or
acquisition. 
 The provisions of this Article will not be construed to prohibit the Company from repurchasing, redeeming,
repaying or prepaying any or all of the Notes to the extent required to do so by any Gaming Authority having authority over any Obligor or pursuant to the provisions described under Section 3.07(e). 

 

	Section 10.04	Acceleration of Notes. 


If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the
acceleration. 
  

	Section 10.05	When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 

 If, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.02 and 10.03, any direct or indirect payment or distribution on account of principal of or interest on or other Obligations with respect to the Notes or
Guaranties or acquisition, repurchase, redemption, retirement or defeasance of any of the Notes or Guaranties will be made by or on behalf of any Obligor (including any payments or distribution by any liquidating trustee or agent or other Person in
a proceeding referred to in Section 10.02) and received by the Trustee or any Holder at a time when such payment or distribution was prohibited by the provisions of Section 10.02 or 10.03 or such payment or distribution was required to be
made to holders of Senior Debt or their Representatives, then, unless and until such payment or distribution is no longer prohibited by Section 10.02 or 10.03, such payment or distribution will be received, segregated from other funds or assets
and held in trust by the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, for the benefit of, and will be immediately paid or delivered over to, those Persons known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, as, or identified by the Company as,
or to a fund for the benefit of, the holders of Senior Debt or their Representatives, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of the principal of such Senior Debt, interest (including, without limitation, Accrued Bankruptcy Interest)
thereon and all other Obligations with respect thereto held or represented by each, until the principal of all Senior Debt, interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest) thereon and all other Obligations with respect thereto have been paid in
full and all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and applicable Hedging Obligations have been fully cash collateralized. Any distribution to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representatives of assets other than cash may be held by such
holders or such Representatives as additional collateral without any duty to the Holder to liquidate or otherwise realize on such assets or to apply such assets to any Senior Debt or other Obligations relating thereto. 

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are
specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee will in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or any Obligor or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt
will be entitled by virtue of this Article 10. Nothing in this Section 10.05 will affect the obligation of any Person other than the Trustee to hold such payment or distribution for the benefit of, and to pay or deliver such payment or
distribution over to, the holders of Senior Debt or their Representatives. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Article 10 and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

	Section 10.06	Notice to Trustee. 

 The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of
the Notes to Senior Debt. Notwithstanding the provisions of this or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Notes, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the address specified in Section 13.02 from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee or agent therefor; and, prior to
the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall
not have received, at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal amount, issue price, accrued original
issue discount, redemption price, purchase price, Change of Control Payment or interest, if any, as the case may be, in respect of any Note, the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 10.06, then, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may
be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder
of Senior Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled
to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment which it may be required to make for the benefit
of such person pursuant to the terms of this Indenture pending judicial determination as to the rights of such person to receive such payment. 
  

	Section 10.07	Subrogation. 

 After all
Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes and Guaranties) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive
distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have
been made to Holders is not, as between the Obligors and Holders, a payment by any Obligor on the Notes or the Guaranties. 
  

	Section 10.08	Relative Rights. 

 This
Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Article 10 will: 

(1) impair, as between the Obligors and Holders, the obligation of the Obligors, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and the Guaranties in accordance with their terms; 

  
 87 








Table of Contents


 (2) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Obligors
other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or 
 (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from
exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders. 

If any Obligor fails because of this Article to pay principal of or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, a Note or Guaranty on
the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default. 
  

	Section 10.09	Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Obligors. 

 No right of any present or future holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the Guaranties will be impaired by any act or failure to act by any
Obligor or any Holder of Notes and Guaranties or any holder of Senior Debt or by the failure of any Obligor or any Holder of Notes and Guaranties or any holder of Senior Debt to comply with this Indenture regardless of any knowledge thereof that any
such Holder of Notes or holder of Senior Debt, as the case may be, may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Debt may extend, renew, restate, supplement, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Debt or any Obligations with respect
thereto or any security therefor and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with any Obligor and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates all without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the
Holders. No provision in any supplemental indenture that adversely affects the subordination of the Notes and Guaranties or other provisions of this Article 10 will be effective against the holders of the Designated Senior Debt unless the requisite
percentage of such holders (or if permitted under the applicable Senior Debt governing agreement, the Representative) will have consented thereto. 
 Each Holder of the Notes and Guaranties by its acceptance thereof: (a) acknowledges and agrees that the holders of any Senior Debt or their Representative, in its or their discretion, and without
affecting any rights of any holder of Senior Debt under this Article 10, may foreclose any mortgage or deed of trust covering interest in real property securing such Senior Debt or any guarantee thereof by judicial or nonjudicial sale, even though
such action may release an Obligor or any guarantor of such Senior Debt from further liability under such Senior Debt or any guarantee thereof or may otherwise limit the remedies available to the holders thereof; and (b) hereby waives any
defense that such Holder may otherwise have to the enforcement of this Article 10 by any holder of any Senior Debt or any Representative of such holder against such Holder after or as a result of any action, including any such defense based on any
loss or impairment of rights of subrogation. 
 If at any time any payment of Obligations with respect to any Senior Debt is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation of any Obligor or otherwise, the provisions of this Article 10 will continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, to the same extent
as though such payments had not been made. 
  

	Section 10.10	Distribution or Notice to Representative. 

 Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Obligor referred to in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders will be entitled to
rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose
of ascertaining the

Table of Contents


 
Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of such Obligor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, the Trustee will be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been
given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which
such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment which it may be
required to make for the benefit of such Person pursuant to the terms of this Indenture pending judicial determination as to the rights of such Person to receive such payment. 

 

	Section 10.11	Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of
any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and Guaranties, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least two
Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes and Guaranties to violate this Article. Only the Company or a holder of Senior Debt may give the
notice. Nothing in this Article 10 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received, at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which
by the terms of this Indenture any such money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal amount, issue price, accrued original issue discount, redemption price, purchase price, Change of Control
purchase price or interest, if any, as the case may be, in respect of any Note), the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 10.11 then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have
full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 
  

	Section 10.12	Authorization to Effect Subordination. 

 Each Holder of a Note by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination as provided in this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Table of Contents


 Each Obligor and each Holder by their acceptance of the Notes acknowledge that damages may
be inadequate to compensate the holders of Senior Debt for any breach or default by any Obligor or any such Holder of its obligations under this Article 10, and, therefore, agree that the holders of Senior Debt and their Representatives will be
entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the enforcement thereof. 
  

	Section 10.13	Amendments. 

 (a) The
provisions of this Article 10 will not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt (or their Representatives as permitted thereunder) unless such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the
holders of such Senior Debt. 
 (b) Without the consents of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding, no Obligor will amend, modify or alter the terms of any indebtedness subordinated to the Notes or the Guaranties in any way that will (i) increase the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any indebtedness
subordinated to the Notes, (ii) increase the principal of, advance the final maturity date of or shorten the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such subordinated indebtedness, (iii) alter the redemption provisions or the price or
terms at which the Company is required to offer to purchase such subordinated indebtedness or (iv) amend the subordination provisions of any documents, instruments or agreements governing any such subordinated indebtedness, except to the extent
that any of the foregoing would be required to permit any Obligor to make a Restricted Payment permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. 
  

	Section 10.14	Notes are Pari Passu with the 7.5% Notes and the 8.75% Notes. 

 Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture, the Obligations in respect of the Notes and the Guaranties will be on a parity with the Obligations in respect of the 7.5% Notes and the 8.75% Notes, and
the guarantees thereof in right of payment. 
  

	Section 10.15	Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent 

 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and the Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a
certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, Custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes, for the
purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon
and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. 
  

	Section 10.16	Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt 

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to
Holders of Notes or to the Company or to any other person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes
to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

	Section 10.17	Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights 


The Trustee or any authenticating agent in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with
respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent of any of its rights as such holder.

 ARTICLE 11 
 NOTE GUARANTIES 
  

	Section 11.01	Guaranty. 

 (a) Subject
to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (1) the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof; and 
 (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any
of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly
and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require
a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian,
trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force
and effect. 

  
 91 








Table of Contents


 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guaranty. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guaranty.

  

	Section 11.02	Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee,
the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under
this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

	Section 11.03	Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. 

 To evidence its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guaranty substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will be endorsed by an
Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guaranty.

 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guaranty no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates the Note on which a Guaranty is endorsed, the Guaranty will be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guaranty set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Material Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture or if a Subsidiary becomes a Material Restricted Subsidiary
after the Issue Date, if required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company will cause such Material Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

	Section 11.04	Releases. 

 (a) In the
event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition (including by way of liquidation permitted hereunder) of all of the
Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition,
by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the Person acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be
released and relieved of any obligations under its Guaranty; provided that the Net Cash Proceeds, if any, of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without
limitation Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty. 

(b) Upon designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor will
be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guaranty. 
 (c) Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof
or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guaranty.

Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11. 
 ARTICLE 12 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
mailing of a notice of redemption (and all conditions to such redemption having been satisfied or waived) or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will
be sufficient, without consideration of any

reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and
accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from transactions occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of funds, to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

 (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the
deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the
Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Upon compliance with the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute proper instrument(s) acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of all
the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes, the Guaranties and this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition,
nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

 

	Section 12.02	Application of Trust Money. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or
interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing
Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date;
provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be

part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be issued thereunder.

 (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

        (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b), (c), (d) and
(e) of this Paragraph 5, the Company will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to             , 2017. On or after

	  	 	100.000%	  

 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest and the Additional Interest,
if any, will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to

            % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings of the Company; provided that at least 65% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption, notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Company to the Holders and the Trustee within 15 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering, and such redemption shall occur within 60 days of the date of such notice.

Table of Contents


         (c) At any time prior to
            , 2017, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s
registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of
holders of Notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
         (d) In addition to the foregoing, if (1) any Gaming Authority makes a determination of unsuitability of a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes (or of an
Affiliate of such Holder or beneficial owner), or (2) any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes (or an Affiliate thereof) must (i) be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Laws or
(ii) reduce its position in the Notes to below a level that would require licensure, qualification or a finding of suitability, and such Holder or beneficial owner (or Affiliate thereof): (A) fails to apply for a license, qualification or
a finding of suitability within 30 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the applicable Gaming Authority) after being requested to do so by the Gaming Authority, (B) fails to reduce its position in the Notes appropriately, or
(C) is denied such license or qualification or not found suitable, the Company shall have the right at any time from or after the Issue Date, at its option: (1) to require any such Holder or beneficial owner to dispose of all or a portion
of its Notes within 30 days (or such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Gaming Authority) of receipt of such notice or finding by such Gaming Authority, or (2) to call for the redemption of all or a portion of the Notes of such
Holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the least of: (A) the principal amount thereof, (B) the price at which such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes, in the case of either clause (A) above or this clause
(B), together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the earlier of the date of redemption or the date of the denial of license or qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority (subject to
the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to such redemption date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), or (C) such other lesser amount as may be required by any Gaming Authority.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or an Affiliate thereof) will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable or is denied a license, qualification or finding of suitability, the
Holder or beneficial owner will not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (1) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (2) receive any interest or Additional Interest, if
any, or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes; or (3) receive any remuneration in any form from the Company or its Affiliates for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of any such redemption as soon as practicable. The Holder or beneficial owner (of an Affiliate thereof) applying for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the licensure or
investigation for such qualification or finding of suitability. 

        (e) In addition, by accepting a Note, each Holder or beneficial owner
of a Note will be agreeing to comply with all requirements of the Gaming Laws and Gaming Authorities in each jurisdiction where the Company and its Affiliates are licensed or registered under applicable Gaming Laws or conduct gaming activities. Each
Holder or beneficial owner will also be agreeing that the Notes held by such Holder or beneficial

Certificate of Incorporation were printed in full on this certificate, to all of which the Holder of this certificate, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees to be bound. Any Holder of a Note may obtain, upon request and without charge, a copy of
such provisions of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any such request shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company.

(6) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF
HOLDER. 
         (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in
Section 4.15 of the Indenture (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the

        (b) Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company or the affected
Obligor will be required to apply an amount equal to all Net Cash Proceeds that are received from such Asset Sale within 360 days of the receipt thereof either (1) to reinvest (or enter into a binding commitment to invest, if such investment is
effected within 360 days after the date of such commitment) in Productive Assets or in Asset Acquisitions not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture, or (2) to permanently prepay or repay Senior Debt of any Obligor and if such Senior Debt is
revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto. 

        On the 361st day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the
Board of the Company or the affected Obligor determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (1) or (2) of the preceding paragraph (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger
Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (1) or (2) of the preceding paragraph (each a “Net Proceeds Offer
Amount”), will be applied by the Company to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”), on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the
applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, on a pro rata basis (A) Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if
any, on the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date and (B) the outstanding 8.75% Notes and/or other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or an Obligor which is pari passu with the Notes, in each case to the extent required by the terms

thereof; provided that if at any time within 360 days after an Asset Sale any non-cash consideration received by the Company or the affected Obligor in connection with such Asset Sale is
converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash, then such conversion or disposition will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied in accordance with this covenant. To the extent that
the aggregate principal amount of Notes, 8.75% Notes and/or other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Obligors may use any remaining proceeds of such Asset Sales for
general corporate purposes (but subject to the other terms of the Indenture). Upon completion of a Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount relating to such Net Proceeds Offer will be deemed to be zero for purposes of any subsequent Asset
Sale. In the event that a Restricted Subsidiary consummates an Asset Sale, only that portion of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (including any Net Cash Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of any noncash proceeds received in
connection with an Asset Sale) that are distributed to or received by any Obligor will be required to be applied by the Obligors in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $25 million, the application of the Net Cash
Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the date of the
Indenture from all Asset Sales by the Obligors in respect of which a Net Proceeds Offer has not been made aggregate at least $25 million, at which time the affected Obligor will apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts
that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer (each date on which the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is equal to $25 million or more will be deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date). In connection with any
Asset Sale with respect to assets having a book value in excess of $25 million or as to which it is expected that the aggregate consideration therefor to be received by the affected Obligor will exceed $25 million in value, such Asset Sale will be
approved, prior to the consummation thereof, by the Board of the applicable Obligor. 
 (7)
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its
registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in
denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. A notice of redemption may be conditional in that the Company may, notwithstanding the
giving of the notice of redemption, condition the redemption of the Notes specified in the notice of redemption upon the completion of other transactions, such as refinancings or acquisitions (whether of the Company or by the Company). 

(8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are
in registered form without coupons of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of
any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

 (9) PERSONS DEEMED
OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 (10) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes or the Guaranties may be
amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or
compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Guaranties may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a
single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes or the Guaranties may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Guaranties in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the
TIA, to comply with the requirements of applicable Gaming Laws or to provide for requirements imposed by applicable Gaming Authorities, to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of notes”
section of the Company’s Prospectus Supplement dated March      , 2012, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a verbatim
recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guaranties or the Notes, to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of March      , 2012, or to allow any
Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guaranty with respect to the Notes. 

(11) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include:
(i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Notes or the Guaranties (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture); (ii) default in payment of the
principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes or the Guaranties when due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture); (iii) failure by any
Obligor to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture, the Notes or the Guaranties for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting
as a single class; (iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by any Obligor (or the payment of which is guaranteed
by any Obligor) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of
the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”), or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25 million or more; (v) certain final judgments for the
payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to any Obligor. If any Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of 

  
 A-7








Table of Contents


 
bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in
the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or
premium or Additional Interest, if any,) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the
reporting obligations described under the Indenture, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of section 314(a) of the TIA, will for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive
Additional Interest on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of
the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on,
or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 (7) SUBORDINATION. Payment of
principal, interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes is subordinated to the prior payment of Senior Debt on the terms provided in the Indenture. 

(8) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH OBLIGORS. The
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Obligors or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Obligors or their Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

 (9) NO RECOURSE AGAINST
OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes,
the Guaranties or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 
 (10) AUTHENTICATION. This
Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

(11) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or
an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.

(13) GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE,
THIS NOTE AND THE GUARANTIES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS] 
 SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
                                    ,
201    , among                                  (the
“Guarantying Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred
to herein) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered
to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of March     , 2012 providing for the issuance of             % Senior Subordinated Notes due
2022 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guarantying
Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guarantying Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and
conditions set forth herein (the “Guaranty”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture,
the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantying Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTY. The Guarantying

Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
