outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement
of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount
of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee, in
accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section
2.6.

                  SECTION 2.2 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

         Two Officers of each of the Issuers shall sign the Notes for the
Issuers by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a
Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note
shall nevertheless be valid.

         A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee. The signature of the Trustee shall be conclusive evidence that
the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. The form of Trustee's
certificate of authentication to be borne by the Notes shall be substantially as
set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

         The Trustee shall, upon a Company Order, authenticate for original
issue Notes in any aggregate principal amount. The aggregate principal amount of
Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.
Subject to Section 4.9, additional Notes may be issued hereunder from time to
time, without the consent of the Holders of previously issued Notes, in an
aggregate principal amount to be determined from time to time by the Issuers;
provided that, additional Notes may not be issued with original issue discount
as determined under section 1271 et seq. of the Code.

         The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment,
an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authenticating by the Trustee includes
authenticating by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers.

         The Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to the
provisions of this Indenture and the Notes with respect to record dates)
interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note is overdue, and neither the Issuers, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Issuers or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 2.3 REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND DEPOSITARY.

         The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and (ii) an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent. The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify
the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying
Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
act as Paying Agent or Registrar, except that for purposes of Articles III and
VIII and Sections 4.1, 4.10 and 4.14, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall act as Paying Agent.

         The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the provisions of
the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that
relate to such Agent.

         The Issuers initially appoint DTC to act as Depositary with respect to
the Global Notes. The Trustee shall act as custodian for the Depositary with
respect to the Global Notes.

                  SECTION 2.4 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

         The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the
Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers 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 Issuers 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 of the
Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.
If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent (subject to
Section 2.3), it shall 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 related to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying
Agent for the Notes.

                  SECTION 2.5 HOLDER LISTS.

         The Trustee shall 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 Section 312(a). If the Trustee
is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall 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,
including the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each such Holder, and
the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

                  SECTION 2.6 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

                           (a)      Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes.
When Definitive Notes are presented by a Holder to the Registrar with a request
(1) to register the transfer of the Definitive Notes or (2) to exchange such
Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other
authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met;
provided that, the Definitive Notes so presented (A) have been duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in
writing; and (B) in the case of a Restricted Security, such request shall be
accompanied by the following additional documents:

                                       23
<PAGE>

                                    (i)      if such Restricted Security is
         being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the
         name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification to that effect
         (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto); or

                                    (ii)     if such Restricted Security is
         being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or pursuant to
         an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a
         certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B
         attached hereto); or

                                    (iii)    if such Restricted Security is
         being transferred in reliance on another exemption from the
         registration requirements of the Securities Act, a certification to
         that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto)
         and an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuers and the
         Registrar to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the
         Securities Act.

                           (b)      Transfer of a Definitive Note for a
Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may be exchanged for a
beneficial interest in a Global Note only upon receipt by the Trustee of a
Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

                                    (i)      written instructions directing the
         Trustee to make an endorsement on the appropriate Global Note to
         reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
         represented by such Global Note; and

                                    (ii)     if such Definitive Note is a
         Restricted Security, a certification (in substantially the form of
         Exhibit B attached hereto) and, if applicable, a legal opinion, in each
         case similar to that required pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i)-(iii), as
         applicable;

in which case the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause the
aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the appropriate Global Note
to be increased accordingly. If no Global Note is then outstanding, the Issuers
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Global Note in the
appropriate principal amount.

                           (c)      Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. The
transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be
effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the
procedures of the Depositary therefor, which shall include restrictions on
transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the
Securities Act.

                           (d)      Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a
Global Note for a Definitive Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written
transfer instructions (or such other form of instructions as is customary for
the Depositary), from the Depositary (or its nominee) on behalf of any Person
having a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee shall, in accordance
with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary
and the Trustee, cause the aggregate principal amount of Global Notes to be
reduced accordingly and, following such reduction, the Issuers shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a Definitive Note
in the appropriate principal amount; provided that, in the case of a Restricted
Security, such instructions shall be accompanied by the following additional
documents:

                                    (i)      if such beneficial interest is
         being transferred to the Person designated by the Depositary as being
         the beneficial owner, a certification to that effect (in substantially
         the form of Exhibit B attached hereto); or

                                    (ii)     if such beneficial interest is
         being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or pursuant to
         an effective registration statement under the

                                       24
<PAGE>

         Securities Act, a certification to that effect (in substantially the
         form of Exhibit B attached hereto); or

                                    (iii)    if such beneficial interest is
         being transferred in reliance on another exemption from the
         registration requirements of the Securities Act, a certification to
         that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto)
         and an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuers and to
         the Registrar to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with
         the Securities Act.

Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Note
shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

                           (e)      Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Global Note may not
be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary; provided that,
if:

                                    (i)      the Depositary (a) notifies the
         Issuers that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as
         Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers
         within 90 days after delivery of such notice, or (b) has ceased to be a
         clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; or

                                    (ii)     the Issuers, at their sole
         discretion, notify the Trustee in writing that they elect to cause the
         issuance of Definitive Notes under this Indenture;

then the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.

                           (f)      Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global
Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in the Global Note have either
been exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the
Global Note shall be returned to (or retained by) and cancelled by the Trustee.
At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in the Global
Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the
aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee to reflect such reduction.

                           (g)      General Provisions Relating to Transfers and
Exchanges. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at
the Registrar's request. All Definitive Notes and Global Notes issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes or Global Notes shall
be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Definitive
Notes or Global Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.

         No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange (without transfer to another person) pursuant to Sections
2.10, 3.7, 3.8, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.5).

         The Issuers shall not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2
and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or (ii) register
the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed

                                       25
<PAGE>

portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or (iii) register the transfer of or
exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment
date.

         Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any
Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in
whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for all
purposes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Issuers shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.

         The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest
in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly require by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms
of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance
as to form with the express requirements thereof.

                           (h)      Exchange of Series A Notes for Series B
Notes. The Series A Notes may be exchanged for Series B Notes pursuant to the
terms of the Exchange Offer. The Trustee and Registrar shall make the exchange
as follows:

         The Issuers shall present the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate
certifying the following:

                                              (A)  upon issuance of the Series B
                  Notes, the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer
                  have been consummated; and

                                              (B)  the principal amount of
                  Series A Notes properly tendered in the Exchange Offer that
                  are represented by a Global Note and the principal amount of
                  Series A Notes properly tendered in the Exchange Offer that
                  are represented by Definitive Notes; the name of each Holder
                  of such Definitive Notes; the principal amount properly
                  tendered in the Exchange Offer by each such Holder; and the
                  name and address to which Definitive Notes for Series B Notes
                  shall be registered and sent for each such Holder.

         The Trustee, upon receipt of (i) such Officers' Certificate, (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel (x) to the effect that the Series B Notes have been
registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act and this Indenture has been
qualified under the TIA and (y) with respect to the matters set forth in Section
6(p) of the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) a Company Order, shall
authenticate (A) a Global Note for Series B Notes in aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes represented by a
Global Note indicated in such Officers' Certificate as having been properly
tendered and (B) Definitive Notes representing Series B Notes registered in the
names of, and in the principal amounts indicated in such Officers' Certificate.

         If the principal amount at maturity of the Global Note for the Series B
Notes is less than the principal amount at maturity of the Global Note for the
Series A Notes, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note for
Series A Notes indicating a reduction in the principal amount at maturity
represented thereby.

         The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes for Series B Notes to
the Holders thereof as indicated in such Officers' Certificate.

                                       26

                  SECTION 2.7 REPLACEMENT NOTES.

         If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuers and
the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements for replacements of Notes are
met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be
supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the
Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The
Issuers or the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

         Every replacement Note is an obligation of the Issuers and shall be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

                  SECTION 2.8 OUTSTANDING NOTES.

         The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those cancelled 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 2.8 as not outstanding.

         If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, the replaced Note ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

         If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section
4.1, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

         Subject to Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because
the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Note; however, Notes held
by the Trustee shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.7.

                  SECTION 2.9 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
Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers shall be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes
that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be
considered as not outstanding.

                  SECTION 2.10 TEMPORARY NOTES.

         Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuers (and the
Subsidiary Guarantors) may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

         If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuers (and the Subsidiary
Guarantors) shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. The definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed or engraved, or
provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the
rules and regulations of any principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such
definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes
shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes
at the office or agency maintained by the Issuers for such purpose pursuant to
Section 4.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuers (and the

                                       27

<PAGE>

Subsidiary Guarantors) shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of definitive
Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Notes.

                  SECTION 2.11 CANCELLATION.

         The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall retain or
destroy cancelled Notes in accordance with its normal practices (subject to the
record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) unless the Issuers direct them
to be returned to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes that have been redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of
by the Trustee in its customary manner.

                  SECTION 2.12 DEFAULTED INTEREST.

         If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the
Issuers shall 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, which date shall be at the
earliest practicable date but in all events at least five Business Days prior to
the payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section
4.1. The Issuers shall, with the consent of the Trustee, fix or cause to be
fixed each such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before
the special record date, the Issuers (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the
expense of the Issuers) shall mail to the Holders a notice that states the
special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to
be paid.

                  SECTION 2.13 LEGENDS.

                           (a)      Except as permitted by Sections 2.13(b) or
(c), each Note shall bear legends relating to restrictions on transfer pursuant
to the securities laws in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto.

                           (b)      Upon any sale or transfer of a Restricted
Security (including any Restricted Security represented by a Global Note)
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act:

                                    (i)      in the case of any Restricted
         Security that is a Definitive Note, the Registrar shall permit the
         Holder thereof to exchange such Restricted Security for a Definitive
         Note that does not bear the legends required by Section 2.13(a); and

                                    (ii)     in the case of any Restricted
         Security represented by a Global Note, such Restricted Security shall
         not be required to bear the legends required by Section 2.13(a), but
         shall continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(c);
         provided that, with respect to any request for an exchange of a
         Restricted Security that is represented by a Global Note for a
         Definitive Note that does not bear the legends required by Section
         2.13(a), which request is made in reliance upon Rule 144, the Holder
         thereof shall certify in writing to the Registrar that such request is
         being made pursuant to Rule 144.

                           (c)      The Issuers (and the Subsidiary Guarantors)
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Series B Notes in exchange for
Series A Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. The Series B Notes
shall not bear the legends required by Section 2.13(a) unless the Holder of such
Series A Notes is either (A) a broker-dealer who purchased such Series A Notes
directly from the Issuers to

                                       28

<PAGE>

resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the
Securities Act, (B) a Person participating in the distribution of the Series A
Notes or (C) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144A) of the
Issuers.

                  SECTION 2.14 DEPOSIT OF MONEYS.

         Subject to Section 3.5, prior to 10:00 a.m. on each date on which the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes are due, the Issuers
shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent in immediately available funds,
money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such date in a timely
manner that permits the Trustee or the Paying Agent to remit payment to the
Holders on such date.

                  SECTION 2.15 CUSIP NUMBERS.

         The Issuers 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 state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may
be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any
such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change
in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                                  ARTICLE III

         If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.7, or are
required to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.8, the Issuers shall furnish to
the Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date
(except in the case of a Required Regulatory Redemption requiring less notice),
an Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of Section 3.7 pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur or if the redemption is required by Section
3.8, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

                  SECTION 3.2 SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

3.7 or 3.8, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with
the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which
the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis,
by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems to be fair and reasonable.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of
Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

                  SECTION 3.3 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date

whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address.

         The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

                                              (1)      the redemption date;

                                              (3)      if any Note is being
         redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of such Note
         to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon cancellation
         of the original Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to
         the unredeemed portion shall be issued;

                                              (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;

                                              (6)      that, unless the Issuers
         default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes or
         portions of Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
         the redemption date;

                                              (7)      the paragraph of the
         Notes and/or the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes
         called for redemption are being redeemed; and

                                              (8)      the CUSIP number of the
         Notes to be redeemed.

         At the Issuers' request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the name of the Issuers and at the Issuers' expense; provided
that, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 15 days (unless a
shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such notice is to
be given, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice
and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph.

                  SECTION 3.4 EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Once notice of redemption has been mailed to the Holders in accordance
with Section 3.3 herein, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on
the redemption date at the redemption price. At any time prior to the mailing of
a notice of redemption to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.3, the Issuers may
withdraw, revoke or rescind any notice of redemption delivered to the Trustee
without any continuing obligation to redeem the Notes as contemplated by such
notice of redemption.

                  SECTION 3.5 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

         At or before 10:00 a.m. on the redemption date, the Issuers shall
deposit with the Trustee (to the extent not already held by the Trustee) or with
the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall return to the Issuers any money
deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all
Notes to be redeemed.

         Interest on the Notes to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the
applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment,
if the Issuers make or deposit the redemption payment in accordance with this
Section 3.5. If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender
for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the
redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in
the Notes.

Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Note surrendered.

                  SECTION 3.7 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the applicable date of redemption, if

option, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding at a redemption price of 109.500% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, through

any time upon not less than 20 Business Days nor more than 60 days notice (or
such earlier date as may be required by any Gaming Authority) at 100% of the

required by any Gaming Authority, the fair market value of such Notes, or such
other amount as may be required by applicable law or order of such Gaming
Authority) and Liquidated Damages (if permitted by relevant Gaming Authorities),
if any, to the redemption date, pursuant to a Required Regulatory Redemption.
Any Required Regulatory Redemption shall, except as specifically provided in
this Section 3.8, be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 unless other procedures are required by any Gaming
Authority. In addition, where such redemption is required because the Holder or
beneficial owner of Notes is required to be found suitable or to otherwise
qualify under any Gaming Laws and is not found suitable or so qualified, the
Issuers shall have the right to require any such Holder or beneficial owner to
dispose of its Notes upon 30 days' notice (or such earlier date as may be
required by the applicable Gaming Authority).

                  SECTION 3.9 NO MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

         The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments
with respect to the Notes (except for a Required Regulatory Redemption). The
Notes shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date
due if the Paying Agent, other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company,
holds on or before that date money deposited by the Issuers in immediately
available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium,
if any, and interest then due. Such Paying Agent shall return to the Issuers, no

of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the
Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuers shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

         The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or
all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided
that, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers
of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The
Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or
agency.

         The Issuers hereby designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
as one such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.3.

         Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is

entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

                           (b)      So long as is required for an offer or sale

signing such certificate, that each of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in
this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions hereof or thereof (or, if a Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of
Default of which he may have knowledge and what action each is taking or

independent public accountants of the Company (which shall be a firm of
established national reputation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) that in
making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements
nothing has come to their attention which would lead them to believe that either
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has violated any provisions of this
Indenture 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

accordance with GAAP.

                  SECTION 4.6 STAY, EXTENSION AND USURY LAWS.

         The Issuers (and each Subsidiary Guarantor) covenant (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) that neither of them shall at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay, extension, usury or other law, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive the payment of all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes, or that may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuers and each
Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not,
by resort to any such law, hinder, delay

                                       33

Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

                                    (i)      declare or pay any dividend or make
         any distribution on account of any Equity Interests of the Company or
         any of its Subsidiaries or make any other payment to any Excluded

         any scheduled principal payment, sinking fund payment or other payment
         at the stated maturity thereof; or

                                    (iv)     make any Restricted Investment

such Restricted Payment:

                           (a)      no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, and

                           (b)      immediately after giving effect to such
Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, the Company could incur at least $1.00
of additional Indebtedness under the Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in

         recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements
         are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such
         Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, 100% of such
         deficit), plus

         Cash Proceeds received by the Company from the issuance or sale, other
         than to a Subsidiary, of Equity Interests of the Company (other than
         Disqualified Capital Stock) after the Issue Date and on or prior to the
         time of such Restricted Payment, plus

                                              (3)      100% of the aggregate Net
         Cash Proceeds received by the Company from the issuance or sale, other
         than to a Subsidiary, of any convertible or exchangeable debt security
         of the Company that has been converted or exchanged into Equity
         Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital Stock)
         pursuant to the terms thereof after the Issue Date and on or prior to
         the time of such Restricted Payment (including any additional net cash
         proceeds received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange),
         plus

                                              (4)      the aggregate Return from
         Unrestricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date and on or prior to the
         time of such Restricted Payment (excluding any returns of or from
         Permitted Investments made pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition
         of "Permitted Investments").

         The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit:

                                    (i)      so long as clause (a) above is
         satisfied, the sale, distribution or liquidation of a Subsidiary that
         as of the Issue Date has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

         declaration such payment would not have been prohibited by the
         provisions of this Indenture;

                                    (iii)    the redemption, purchase,

         such financial statements, provided that, the requirement set forth in
         this subclause (B) shall not apply to the extent that such Subsidiary
         that is acquired after the date hereof is not a Flow Through Entity on
         the date of such acquisition but subsequently becomes a Flow Through
         Entity after any period covered by such financial statements;

         Management Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date, without giving
         effect to any amendment, supplement or modification thereof; provided
         that, the Interest Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended
         four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are

                  SECTION 4.8 LIMITATION ON RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY
DIVIDENDS.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted
Subsidiary to:

                                    (i)      pay dividends or make any other
         distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (a)
         on such Restricted Subsidiary's Capital Stock or (b) with respect to
         any other interest or participation in, or measured by, such Restricted
         Subsidiary's profits, or

                                    (ii)     pay any Indebtedness owed to the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or

         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or

                                    (iv)     transfer any of its assets to the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,

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

                                              (1)      any Credit Facility
         containing dividend or other payment restrictions that are not more
         restrictive than those contained in the documents governing the Credit
         Facility on the Issue Date, including the Intercreditor Agreement;

                                              (2)      this Indenture, the
         Security Documents and the Notes;

                                              (3)      applicable law;

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 4.9 LIMITATION ON INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) create, incur, issue, assume,
guaranty or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to,
contingently or otherwise (collectively, "incur"), any Indebtedness (including,
without limitation, Acquired Debt) or (ii) issue any Disqualified Capital Stock;
provided that, the Company and the

                                       37

<PAGE>

Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation,
Acquired Debt) and the Company may issue shares of Disqualified Capital Stock if
(x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time of, or would occur after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such
incurrence or issuance, and (y) the Interest Coverage Ratio for the Company's
most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional
Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Capital Stock is issued would have
been not less than 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro
forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional
Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Capital Stock had been
issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing limitations will not
prohibit the incurrence of:

                           (a)      Indebtedness under the Credit Facility in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any time outstanding, $80,000,000
less the aggregate amount of repayments of such indebtedness contemplated by
clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 4.10 (the "Maximum Credit
Facility Amount");

                           (b)      FF&E Financing in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed, at any time, $10,000,000;

                           (c)      performance bonds, appeal bonds, surety
bonds, insurance obligations or bonds and other similar bonds or obligations
(including Obligations under letters of credit) incurred in the ordinary course
of business, and any guarantees thereof;

                           (d)      Hedging Obligations incurred to fix the
interest rate on any variable rate Indebtedness otherwise permitted by this
Indenture; provided that, the notional principal amount of each such Hedging
Obligation does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which
such Hedging Obligation relates and that such Hedging Obligations shall not have
been incurred for purposes of speculation;

                           (e)      Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date
(other than Indebtedness under the Credit Facility which shall not be deemed to
be outstanding pursuant to this clause (e)), including the Notes and the
Security Documents, to the extent they constitute Indebtedness outstanding on
the Issue Date;

                           (f)      Indebtedness incurred by the Company in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any time outstanding pursuant to
this clause (f), $10,000,000;

                           (g)      any Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes or the
Indebtedness permitted by clause (f) above; and

                           (h)      Indebtedness issued in exchange for, or the
proceeds of which are contemporaneously used to extend, refinance, renew,
replace, or refund (collectively, "Refinance"), Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to the Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph, clause (e) above or this clause (h) (the "Refinancing Indebtedness");
provided that, (i) the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does
not exceed the principal amount of Indebtedness so Refinanced (including any
required premiums and out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection
therewith), (ii) the Refinancing Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity
that equals or exceeds the final stated maturity, and a Weighted Average Life to
Maturity that is equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity,
of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, (iii) the Refinancing Indebtedness ranks,
in right of payment, no more favorable to the Notes than the Indebtedness being
Refinanced, and (iv) such Refinancing Indebtedness shall only be used to
refinance outstanding Indebtedness of such Person issuing such Refinancing
Indebtedness.

                  SECTION 4.10 LIMITATION ON ASSET SALES.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, make any Asset Sale unless

                                    (i)      the Company or such Restricted
         Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale not
         less than the fair market value of the assets subject to such Asset
         Sale;

                                    (ii)     at least 75% of the consideration
         for such Asset Sale is in the form of (A) cash or Cash Equivalents, (B)
         liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
         liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the
         Subsidiary Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of such
         assets (provided that, following such Asset Sale there is no further
         recourse to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to
         such liabilities), or (C) fixed assets or property that, in the good
         faith judgment of the Managers, at the time of such Asset Sale will be
         used in a Related Business of the Company or its Restricted
         Subsidiaries; and

                                    (iii)    within 270 days of such Asset Sale
         (or within 30 days in the case of an Asset Sale or series of related
         Asset Sales with Net Proceeds of $15,000,000 or more), the Net Proceeds
         thereof are (A) invested in fixed assets or property that, in the good
         faith judgment of the Managers, at the time of such Asset Sale will be
         used in a Related Business of the Company or its Restricted
         Subsidiaries, (B) applied to repay Indebtedness under Purchase Money
         Obligations incurred in connection with the asset so sold, (C) applied
         to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facility and permanently reduce
         the commitment thereunder in the amount of the Indebtedness so repaid
         or (D) to the extent not used as provided in clauses (A), (B), or (C)
         applied to make an offer to purchase Notes as described below (an
         "Excess Proceeds Offer"); provided that, the Company will not be
         required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer until the amount of Excess
         Proceeds is greater than $5,000,000.

The foregoing provisions in (i) or (ii) above shall not apply to an Event of
Loss.

         Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or temporarily invest
such Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents.

         Net Proceeds not invested or applied as set forth in subclause (A), (B)
or (C) of clause (iii) above constitute "Excess Proceeds." If the Company
elects, or becomes obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer because such
Excess Proceeds exceed $5,000,000, the Issuers shall offer to purchase Notes
having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Excess Proceeds (the "Purchase
Amount"), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the purchase date. The Issuers must consummate such Excess Proceeds
Offer not later than 30 days after the expiration of the 270-day (or 30-day)
period following the Asset Sale that produced such Excess Proceeds. If the
aggregate purchase price for the Notes tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds
Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may use the portion of the Excess Proceeds remaining after payment
of such purchase price for general corporate purposes.

         Each Excess Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20
Business Days and no longer, unless a longer period is required by law (the
"Excess Proceeds Offer Period"). Promptly after the termination of the Excess
Proceeds Offer Period (the "Excess Proceeds Payment Date"), the Issuers shall
purchase and mail or deliver payment for the Purchase Amount for the Notes or
portions thereof tendered, pro rata or by such other method as may be required
by law, or, if less than the Purchase Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer.

                                       39

<PAGE>

         To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuers shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof. The Company
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or
suffer to exist or become effective any restriction that would impair the
ability of the Issuers to make an Excess Proceeds Offer upon an Asset Sale or,
if such Excess Proceeds Offer is made, to pay for the Notes tendered for
purchase.

         The Issuers shall, no later than 30 days following the expiration of
the 12-month period following the Asset Sale that produced Excess Proceeds,
commence the Excess Proceeds Offer by mailing to the Trustee and each Holder, at
such Holder's last registered address, a notice, which shall govern the terms of
the Excess Proceeds Offer, and shall state:

                                              (1)      that the Excess Proceeds
         Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10, the principal amount
         of Notes which shall be accepted for payment and that all Notes validly
         tendered shall be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis;

                                              (2)      the purchase price and
         the date of purchase;

                                              (3)      that any Notes not
         tendered or accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer
         shall continue to accrue interest;

                                              (4)      that, unless the Issuers
         default in the payment of the purchase price with respect to any Notes
         tendered, Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds
         Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Excess Proceeds Payment
         Date;

                                              (5)      that Holders electing to
         have Notes purchased pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer shall be
         required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled "Option of
         Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the
         Issuers prior to the close of business on the third Business Day
         immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Payment Date;

                                              (6)      that Holders shall be
         entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers receive, not later
         than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the
         Excess Proceeds Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission
         or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
         Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
         Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

                                              (7)      that Holders whose Notes
         are purchased only in part shall be issued Notes representing the
         unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that, each Note
         purchased and each new Note issued shall be in principal amount of
         $1,000 or whole multiples thereof; and

                                              (8)      the instructions that
         Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes.

         On or before the Excess Proceeds Payment Date, the Issuers shall (i)
accept for payment on a pro rata basis the Notes or portions thereof tendered
pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so
accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Notes so accepted, together with
an Officers' Certificate stating that the Notes or portions thereof tendered to
the Issuers are accepted for payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to
each Holder of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase
price of

                                       40

<PAGE>

such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders
new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered.

         The Issuers shall make a public announcement of the results of the
Excess Proceeds Offer as soon as practicable after the Excess Proceeds Payment
Date. For the purposes of this Section 4.10, the Trustee shall act as the Paying
Agent.

                  SECTION 4.11 LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, consummate or suffer to
exist any Affiliate Transaction, except for:

                                    (i)      Affiliate Transactions that,
         together with all related Affiliate Transactions, have an aggregate
         value of not more than $2,000,000; provided that, (a) such transactions
         are conducted in good faith and on terms that are no less favorable to
         the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would
         have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time by the
         Company or such Restricted Subsidiary on an arm's-length basis from a
         Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted
         Subsidiary and (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate certifying to such effect;

                                    (ii)     Affiliate Transactions that,
         together with all related Affiliate Transactions, have an aggregate
         value of not more than $5,000,000; provided that, (i) a majority of the
         Managers that are disinterested in such transaction (or, if none of the
         Managers is disinterested in such transaction, a representative
         appointed by the Managers to make such determination, which
         representative, in the reasonable good faith judgment of a majority of
         the Managers, is disinterested in the transaction and is qualified to
         make such determination) determine that such transactions are conducted
         in good faith and on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or
         the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been
         obtained in a comparable transaction at such time by the Company or
         such Restricted Subsidiary on an arm's-length basis from a Person that
         is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and
         (ii) prior to entering into such transaction the Company shall have
         delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate certifying to such
         effect; or

                                    (iii)    Affiliate Transactions for which
         the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion as to the fairness to
         the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of
         view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
         national standing.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be deemed not to be
Affiliate Transactions:

                           (a)      Restricted Payments (other than payments
permitted under clause (vii) of the second paragraph of Section 4.7) permitted
by Section 4.7;

                           (b)      payments pursuant to the Berthing Agreement;

                           (c)      the Management Agreement and the Expense
Reimbursement Agreement, in each case, as in effect on the Issue Date, without
giving effect to any amendment, supplement or modification thereof, and payment
of the Management Distributions and the receipt of the Expense Reimbursements,
respectively, thereunder;

                           (d)      the non-exclusive licensing of any service
mark or other trademarks of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to an

and any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company; and

                           (f)      the acquisition of the GNC Land, provided
that, (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate certifying compliance with item (iii) below, (ii) the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee a copy of a written appraisal or valuation report
by a nationally recognized investment banking firm or independent appraisal
firm, which appraisal or report sets forth the Appraised Value of the GNC Land
as of a date no earlier than 90 days prior to the date of the acquisition of the
GNC Land by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (iii) the value of
the aggregate consideration to be paid or given by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries for the GNC Land shall not exceed 80% of such Appraised
Value and the other terms of the transaction shall be on terms no less favorable
to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have
been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time by the Company or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiary on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is
not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

                  SECTION 4.12 LIMITATION ON LIENS.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on
any asset (including, without limitation, all real, tangible or intangible
property) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey
any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.

                  SECTION 4.13 EXISTENCE.

things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) their
respective limited liability company and corporate existence, and corporate,

accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) and (ii) their (and the Subsidiaries') rights
(charter and statutory), licenses (including gaming and related licenses) and
franchises; provided that, the Issuers shall not be required to preserve any
such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other
existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors on behalf of
the Company shall determine in good faith that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and the Company's
Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any
material respect to the Holders.

                  SECTION 4.14 REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall offer to
repurchase all of the Notes then outstanding (the "Change of Control Offer") at

accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date
of repurchase (the "Change of Control Payment").

         To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Issuers shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have

         than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of
         Control Payment Date"),

                                    (iii)    that any Note not tendered for

         accrue interest,

                                    (iv)     that, unless the Issuers default in
         the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for
         payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue
         interest on the Change of Control Payment Date,

                                    (v)      that any Holder electing to have

         to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to
         Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying
         Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of
         business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control
         Payment Date,

                                    (vi)     that any Holder shall be entitled
         to withdraw such election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than
         the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change
         of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
         letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
         Notes such Holder delivered for purchase, and a statement that such
         Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased,

                                    (vii)    that a Holder whose Notes are being
         purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal
         amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
         unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an
         integral multiple thereof,

Notes, and the Trustee shall 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, if any; provided that, each such
new Note will be in the principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof.

         The Issuers shall make a public announcement of the results of the
Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control
Payment Date. For the purposes of this Section 4.14, the Trustee shall act as
the Paying Agent.

         The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer

the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in this Section 4.14 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

of, such Issuer, and such Issuer shall be discharged from its

right to require any such Person to ensure, by executing and delivering
appropriate instruments and Opinions of Counsel, that the Trustee continues to
hold a first priority Lien on all Collateral for the benefit of the Holders.

the Issuers and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate

indenture, agreement or instrument under which there may be issued or by which
there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Issuers or any
Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuers or
any Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guaranty now exists or
is created after the Issue Date, if (A) either (1) such default results from the

of such default the maturity of such Indebtedness has been accelerated, and (B)
the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of
any other such Indebtedness with respect to which such a payment default (after

                           (f)      a final nonappealable judgment or judgments
for the payment of money (other than judgments as to which a reputable insurance
company has accepted full liability) is or are entered by a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction against the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary and such
judgment or judgments remain undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of
60 days after entry, provided that, the aggregate of all such judgments exceeds
$5,000,000;

                           (g)      the cessation of a material portion of the
gaming operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for
more than 60 days, except as a result of an Event of Loss;

                           (h)      any revocation, suspension, expiration
(without previous or concurrent renewal) or loss of any Gaming License for more
than 60 days other than as a result of any Asset Sale made in accordance with

judgment of the Managers, both desirable in the conduct of the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and not disadvantageous to the
Holders in any material respect;

                           (i)      any failure to comply with (after giving
effect to any applicable grace periods) any material agreement or covenant in,
or material provision of, any Security Document;

                           (j)      either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Code:

                                    (i)      commences a voluntary case,

                                    (ii)     consents to the entry of an order
         for relief against it in an involuntary case,

                                    (iii)    consents to the appointment of a
         Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

                                    (iv)     makes a general assignment for the
         benefit of its creditors, or

                                    (v)      admits in writing its inability to
         pay debts as the same become due; and

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

                                    (i)      is for relief against either of the
         Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an involuntary case,

                                    (ii)     appoints a Custodian of either of
         the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor or for all or substantially all

         the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor,

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

         The Issuers shall, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of
Default, deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of
Default and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect
thereto.

                  SECTION 6.2 ACCELERATION.

         Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(j) or (k))
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuers, or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare the unpaid principal
of and any accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such
declaration the principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(j) or (k) occurs, all outstanding
Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

                  SECTION 6.3 OTHER REMEDIES.

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
(under this Indenture or otherwise) to collect the payment of principal or
interest on the Notes to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes,
this Indenture or the Security Documents.

                                       48

<PAGE>

         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 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.

                  SECTION 6.4 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

         Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes (a) 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 interest on, or the principal of, any Note or a
Default or an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision which
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
outstanding Note affected, and/or (b) rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal or
interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured
or waived. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured 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 6.5 CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

         The Holders of a majority in 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, or that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability.

                  SECTION 6.6 LIMITATION ON SUITS.

         A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes only if:

                           (a)      the Holder gives to the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default;

                           (b)      the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy;

                           (c)      such Holder or Holders offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense;

                           (d)      the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the
provision of indemnity; and

                           (e)      during such 60-day period the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

                  SECTION 6.7 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or

                                       49

<PAGE>

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 the
Holder.

                  SECTION 6.8 COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

         If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) or (b) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of
principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue
interest and such further amount as shall be 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 6.9 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 compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any
other obligor under the Notes), their creditors or their property 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 7.7. 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 7.7 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 of the Notes 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 thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

                  SECTION 6.10 PRIORITIES.

         Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee
collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the
following order:

         First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.7, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of
collection;

         Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and
interest, respectively;

         Third: without duplication, to Holders for any other Obligations owing
to the Holders under the Notes or this Indenture; and

         Fourth: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct.

         The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders.

         SECTION 6.11 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

         In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
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 pursuant to Section 6.6, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                     TRUSTEE

         SECTION 7.1 DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

                           (a)      If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs.

                           (b)      Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default:

                                    (i)      The duties of the Trustee shall be
         determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
         Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth
         in this Indenture and the Security Documents, and no others, and no
         implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
         against the Trustee.

                                    (ii)     In the absence of bad faith on its
         part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
         statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
         certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
         requirements of this Indenture and the Security Documents. However, in
         the case of certificates specifically required by any provision hereof
         to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
         opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
         of this Indenture and the Security Documents (but need not confirm or
         investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts
         stated therein).

                           (c)      The Trustee may not be relieved from
liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or
its own willful misconduct, except that:

                                    (i)      This paragraph does not limit the
         effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

                                    (ii)     The Trustee shall not be liable for
         any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer,
         unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
         pertinent facts.

                                    (iii)    The Trustee shall not be liable
         with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
         accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5.

                           (d)      Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

                                       51

<PAGE>

                           (e)      No provision of this Indenture shall require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee
may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives
security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense.

                           (f)      The Trustee shall not be liable for interest
on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the
Issuers. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

                           (g)      The Trustee is hereby authorized and
directed to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement upon execution thereof by the
other parties thereto.

                           (h)      If the Issuers shall enter into any FF&E
Financing secured by a Permitted Vessel Lien, the Trustee is hereby authorized,
at the Company's request, to enter into an intercreditor agreement with the
related FF&E Lender, provided that, (a) such agreement contains the agreements
required under clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Vessel Lien, (b) the
rights of the Trustee and the Holders hereunder and under the Security Documents
are not adversely affected thereby in any respect, and (c) the Holders are not
otherwise adversely affected thereby.

         SECTION 7.2 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                           (a)      The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any
document (whether in original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

                           (b)      Before the Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, it may require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or
both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in reliance thereon.

                           (c)      The Trustee may act through agents and shall
not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with
due care.

                           (d)      The Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

                           (e)      Unless otherwise specifically provided in
this Indenture or the Security Documents, any demand, request, direction or
notice from the Issuers shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of each of
the Issuers, on behalf of the Issuers.

                           (f)      Except with respect to Section 4.1, the
Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuers'
covenants in Article IV. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i) any Event of Default
occurring pursuant to Sections 6.1(a), (b) and 4.1, or (ii) any Default or Event
of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notification or obtained actual knowledge.

                           (g)      The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture, 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.

                           (h)      The Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,

                                       52

<PAGE>

direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such
further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit,
and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises
of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the
Company and shall incur not liability or additional liability of any kind by
reason of such inquiry or investigation.

                           (i)      The Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which
in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

                           (j)      The rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its
right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the
Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other
Person employed to act hereunder.

                           (k)      The Trustee may request that the Company
deliver and Officers' Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or
titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
this Indenture, which Officer's Certificate may be signed by any person
authorized to sign an Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

                           (l)      In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has
been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form
of action.

         SECTION 7.3 INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or an
Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest (as defined in the TIA) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days,
apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may
do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and
7.11.

         SECTION 7.4 TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

         The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the
Notes or as to the adequacy of the security for the Notes, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money
paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers' direction under any provision hereof,
it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document
in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication.

         SECTION 7.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

         If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if the
Trustee has knowledge thereof (within the meaning of Section 7.2(f)), the
Trustee shall mail to the Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default
within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of
Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note,
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as

                                       53

<PAGE>

a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

         SECTION 7.6 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.

         Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following
the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report
dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no
event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail
all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

         Commencing at the time this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, a
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be filed
with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed. The
Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock
exchange or any delisting thereof.

         At the express written direction of the Company and at the Company's
expense, the Trustee will provide any Gaming Authority with:

                                    (i)      copies of all notices, reports and
         other written communications that the Trustee gives to Holders;

                                    (ii)     a list of all of the Holders
         promptly after the original issuance of the Notes and periodically
         thereafter if the Company so directs in writing;

                                    (iii)    notice of any Default or Event of
         Default under this Indenture, any acceleration of the Indebtedness
         evidenced hereby, the institution of any legal actions or proceedings
         before any court or governmental authority in respect of a Default or
         Event of Default hereunder;

                                    (iv)     notice of the removal or
         resignation of the Trustee within five Business Days of the
         effectiveness thereof;

                                    (v)      notice of any transfer or
         assignment of rights, by the Issuers or any Guarantor, under this
         Indenture known to the Trustee within five Business Days thereof; and

                                    (vi)     a copy of any amendment to the
         Notes or this Indenture within five Business Days of the effectiveness
         thereof.

         Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, to the extent reasonably requested by
the Company in writing and at the Company's expense, the Trustee shall cooperate
with any Gaming Authority in order to provide such Gaming Authority with such
information and documentation as may be reasonably available to the Trustee and
as may be requested in writing by such Gaming Authority and as otherwise
permitted by applicable law.

         SECTION 7.7 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

         The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the
Issuers and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for
all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents

                                       54

<PAGE>

and counsel, except such disbursements, advances and expenses as shall be
determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct.

         Except as set forth below, the Issuers, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees against
any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by it
without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the
Security Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture
or the Security Documents against the Issuers and defending itself against any
claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any
claim of which it has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of
their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee
shall cooperate in the defense. In the event that, in the reasonable opinion of
the Trustee, a conflict of interest or conflicting defenses would arise in
connection with the representation of the Issuers and the Trustee by the same
counsel, the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

         The obligations of the Issuers under this Section 7.7 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

         To secure the Issuers' payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

         When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.1(j) or (k) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Code.

         SECTION 7.8 REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

         A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.8.

         The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Issuers. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

                           (a)      the Trustee fails to comply with Section
7.10;

                           (b)      the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an
insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under
any Bankruptcy Code;

                           (c)      a Custodian or public officer takes charge
of the Trustee or its property;

                           (d)      the Trustee becomes incapable of acting; or

                           (e)      the Trustee is found unsuitable or
unqualified by any Gaming Authority.

         If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers.

                                       55
<PAGE>

         If any Gaming Authority requires the Trustee to be approved, licensed
or qualified and the Trustee fails or declines to do so, such approval, license
or qualification shall be obtained upon the request of, and at the expense of,
the Company, unless the Trustee declines to do so in its sole discretion, in
which case the Trustee shall be replaced in accordance with this Section 7.8,
or, if the Trustee's relationship with the Company may, in the Company's
discretion, jeopardize any material Gaming License or franchise or right or
approval granted thereto, the Trustee shall resign, and, in addition, the
Trustee may, at its option, resign if the Trustee in its sole discretion
determines not to be so approved, licensed or qualified.

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
petition, at the Issuers' expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

         If the Trustee after written request by any Holder who has been a
Holder for at least six months fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to the Holders. Upon payment of its charges hereunder, the retiring
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, provided that, all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have
been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuers'
obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee, and the Issuers shall pay to any such replaced or removed Trustee all
amounts owed under Section 7.7 upon such replacement or removal.

                  SECTION 7.9 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.

         If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or
banking association, the successor corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee.

                  SECTION 7.10 ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.

         There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that shall (a) be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (b) be subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state or the District of Columbia authority, and (c)
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its
most recent published annual report of condition.

         This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is
subject to TIA Section 310(b); provided that, there shall be excluded from the
operations of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which
other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities, of the Issuers are outstanding, if the requirements for such
exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

                  SECTION 7.11 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST
ISSUERS.

         The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
The provisions of TIA Section 311 shall apply to the Issuers, as obligors on the
Notes.

               DISCHARGE; LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

                  SECTION 8.1 DISCHARGE; OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR
COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that the
Issuers' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under Section 7.7 and the
Trustee's and the Paying Agent's obligations under Sections 8.6 and 8.7 shall
survive) when all outstanding Notes theretofore authenticated and issued have
been delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been
replaced or paid) to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuers or the
Subsidiary Guarantors have paid all sums payable hereunder. In addition, the
Issuers may elect at any time to have Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, at the
Issuers' option, applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

                  SECTION 8.2 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

         Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.2, except as set forth below, the Issuers and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective
obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). Following such
Legal Defeasance, (a) the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness outstanding hereunder, and this Indenture shall cease to
be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, and
(b) the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied
all other of their respective obligations under the Notes, the Subsidiary
Guarantee and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense
of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder:

                                    (i) the rights of Holders to receive
         payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
         (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on such Notes when such payments are
         due from the trust described in Section 8.5;

                                    (ii) the Issuers' obligations under Sections
         2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10, 4.2, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7; and

                                    (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
         immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuers' and the Subsidiary
         Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith.

         Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Article VIII, the
Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.3.

                  SECTION 8.3 COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.3, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released
from their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.7 through 4.12, and 4.14 through 4.20, and Article V on and after the
date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant
Defeasance"), and the Notes shall 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 shall
continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. Following
such Covenant Defeasance, (a) neither the Issuers nor any Subsidiary Guarantor
need comply with, and none of them shall have any 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, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be

                                       57

unaffected thereby, and (b) Sections 6.1(c) through (i) shall not constitute
Events of Default with respect to the Notes.

DEFEASANCE.

         The following shall be the conditions to the application of either

         sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
         independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if
         any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on
         the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers
         shall specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
         particular redemption date;

         confirming that (A) the Issuers have received from, or there has been
         published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the
         Issue Date, 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 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;

                                    (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance,
         the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
         confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
         Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant 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
         Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

                                    (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall
         have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than
         a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to
         be applied to such deposit);

                                    (v) 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 Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries
         is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the Restricted

         delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others; and

                                    (vii) the Issuers shall have delivered to

         Defeasance have been complied with.

                  SECTION 8.5 DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO
BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         Subject to Section 8.6, all cash and U.S. Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the "Paying Agent")
pursuant to Section 8.4 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in
trust and applied by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the provisions of such
Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any other
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, if any, and
interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any).

         The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 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 outstanding Notes.

                  SECTION 8.6 REPAYMENT TO THE ISSUERS.

                           (a)      The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers
any cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4
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 8.4(i)), are in excess
of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                           (b)      Any cash and U.S. Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent,
or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their
request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided that, the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at
the expense of the Issuers 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 shall 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 Issuers.

                  SECTION 8.7 REINSTATEMENT.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3, 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, or if any
event occurs at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
deposit pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 which event would constitute an Event of
Default under Section 6.1(j) or (k) had Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance,
as the case may be, not occurred, then the Issuers' and the Subsidiary
Guarantors' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply such money
in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3, as the case may be; provided that, if the
Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (and
Liquidated Damages, if any) on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the cash or U.S. Government Obligations
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                  SECTION 9.1 WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

         The Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents, without the
consent of any Holder:

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

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

                           (c)      to comply with Article V and Section 10.13;

                           (d)      to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect
the legal rights of any Holder under this Indenture or under the Notes;

                           (e)      to comply with requirements of the
Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture
under the TIA;

                           (f)      to release any Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Notes permitted to be released under Section 10.14; or

                           (g)      to comply with the requirements of the
Trustee and the Depositary (including its nominees) with respect to transfers of
beneficial interests in the Notes.

         Upon the request of the Issuers, accompanied by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of each of the Issuers authorizing the execution of any such
supplemental indenture or amendment, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the
documents described in Section 9.6 required or requested by the Trustee, the
Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of any supplemental
indenture or amendment authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be
therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
supplemental indenture or amendment that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                  SECTION 9.2 WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

                           (a)      Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7, the Issuers
and the Trustee, as applicable, may amend, or waive any provision of, this
Indenture or the Notes, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for Notes).

                           (b)      Upon the request of the Issuers, accompanied
by a resolution of the Board of Directors of each of the Issuers authorizing the
execution of any such supplemental indenture or amendment, and upon filing with
the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described
in Section 9.6, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of such
supplemental indenture or amendment unless such supplemental indenture or
amendment affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

                           (c)      It shall not be necessary for the consent of
the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof.

                           (d)      After a supplemental indenture or amendment
under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders
of each Note affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment or
waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver.

                           (e)      Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.2 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

                                    (i) reduce the principal amount of Notes
         whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

                                    (ii) reduce the principal of, or the premium
         (including, without limitation, redemption premium) on, or change the
         fixed maturity of, any Note; alter the provisions with respect to the
         payment on redemption of the Notes; or alter the price at which
         repurchases of the Notes may be made pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.14,
         after the Asset Sale or Change of Control, respectively, has occurred;

                                    (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time
         for payment of interest on any Note;

                                    (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in
         the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the
         Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders
         of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver
         of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

                                    (v) make any Note payable in money other
         than that stated in the Notes;

                                    (vi) make any change in Section 6.4 or 6.7
         or in this Section 9.2;

                                    (vii) waive a redemption payment with
         respect to any Note in a redemption made pursuant to Article III; or

                                    (viii) adversely affect the contractual
         ranking of the Notes or Subsidiary Guarantees.

                           (f)      Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
without the consent of the Holders of not less than two-thirds in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, the Issuers, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may not amend or supplement the Security
Documents, or waive or modify the rights of the Holders thereunder or the
provisions of this Indenture relating thereto, in either case, in a manner
adverse to the Holders.

                  SECTION 9.3 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

         If, at the time of an amendment to this Indenture or the Notes, this
Indenture shall be qualified under the TIA, every amendment to this Indenture or
the Notes shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect.

                  SECTION 9.4 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

         Until a supplemental indenture, an amendment or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the
Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of

                                       61

<PAGE>

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. A supplemental indenture,
amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and
thereafter binds every Holder.

         The Issuers may fix a record date for determining which Holders must
consent to such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver. If the Issuers fix
a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior
to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of
Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section
2.5, or (ii) such other date as the Issuers shall designate.

                  SECTION 9.5 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

         The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about a supplemental
indenture, amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers
in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes
that reflect the amendment or waiver.

         Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not
affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

                  SECTION 9.6 TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

         The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does,
the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such
amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided
with and, subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such
amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture
and applicable Gaming Laws, that it is not inconsistent herewith and therewith,
and that it shall be valid and binding upon the Issuers in accordance with its
terms. The Issuers may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the
Board of Directors of each of the Issuers approves it.

                                    ARTICLE X
                      COLLATERAL AND SECURITY AND GUARANTEE

                  SECTION 10.1 COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS.

         The due and punctual payment of the principal and premium, if any, of,
and interest on, the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable,

redemption or otherwise, interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to
the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other
Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the
Registration Rights Agreement, shall be secured as provided in the Security
Documents.

         The Issuers shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries
to, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or
proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to
assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest in the Collateral
contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents, as from time to time
constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of
this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and
purposes herein and therein expressed. The Issuers shall, and shall cause each
of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, take, upon request of the Trustee, any and
all actions required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as
security for the Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security
Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement, valid and enforceable,
perfected (except as expressly provided herein or therein) Liens in and on all
the Collateral, in favor of the Trustee, superior to and prior to the rights of
all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens, other than as provided herein
and therein; provided that, the

                                       62

<PAGE>

Trustee's Lien securing the Collateral may be subordinated pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement to a Lien securing Indebtedness outstanding
pursuant to clause (a) of the second paragraph of Section 4.9, but only to the
extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

         The Issuers shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries
to, use all reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents necessary to
enable such Issuers or Restricted Subsidiary to provide a Lien on any license
(other than any Gaming License), contract or agreement to which such Issuer or
Restricted Subsidiary is a party and that constitutes an Excluded Asset
described in clause (iii) of the definition of "Excluded Assets."

                  SECTION 10.2 ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL.

         The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
to, grant to the Trustee a valid and perfected security interest in all property
and assets of the Company and such Subsidiary Guarantors, other than Excluded
Assets, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, and to execute
and deliver all documents and opinions and to take all action necessary or
desirable to perfect and protect such a security interest in favor of the
Trustee, subject only to Permitted Liens.

                  SECTION 10.3 OPINIONS.

         The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee within three months after each
anniversary of the Issue Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of such date,
stating either that (i) in the opinion of such counsel, all action has been
taken with respect to the recording, registering, filing, re-recording,
re-registering and refiling of all supplemental indentures, financing
statements, continuation statements or other instruments of further assurance as
is necessary to maintain the Liens of the Security Documents and reciting the
details of such action, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions or (ii)
in the opinion of such Counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such
Liens, which Opinion of Counsel also shall state what actions it then believes
are necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such liens during the next year,
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions.

                  SECTION 10.4 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.

                           (a)      Collateral shall be released from the Liens
created by the Security Documents from time to time at the sole cost and expense
of the Issuers:

                                    (i) upon payment in full of the Notes and
         all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security
         Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement then due and owing,

                                    (ii) unless an Event of Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing, upon the (A) sale or other disposition of
         such Collateral pursuant to an Asset Sale made in accordance with
         Section 4.10, (B) sale or other disposition of such Collateral meeting
         the conditions of (b)(1) of the definition of Asset Sale, or (C)
         transfer or exchange of such Collateral in the ordinary course of
         business,

                                    (iii) upon the written consent of the
         Holders of not less than two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount
         of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in
         connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes),

                                    (iv) as required pursuant to the terms of
         the Intercreditor Agreement, or

                                    (v) upon a Legal Defeasance;

                                       63

<PAGE>

provided that, the Trustee shall not release any Lien on any Collateral unless
and until it shall have received an Officers' Certificate certifying that all
conditions precedent hereunder have been met and such other documents required
by Section 10.5. Upon compliance with the above provisions, the Trustee shall
execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of
termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral
permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents.

                           (b)      The release of any Collateral from the terms
of the Security Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this
Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof and of the Security
Documents if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture and the Security Documents.

                  SECTION 10.5 CERTIFICATES OF THE ISSUERS.

         The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, prior to each proposed
release of Collateral, all documents required by TIA Section 314(d). The Trustee
may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.1 and 7.2, accept as conclusive
evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements
contained in such instruments. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA
Section 314(d) may be made by an Officer of each of the Issuers, except in cases
where TIA Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an
independent engineer, appraiser or other expert within the meaning of TIA
Section 314(d).

                  SECTION 10.6 AUTHORIZATION OF ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY TRUSTEE
UNDER SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

         Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may,
in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the
Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (a)
enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and (b) collect and receive
any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the Notes, the Security Documents and
the Registration Rights Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Trustee shall have the power to institute and to maintain such
suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the
Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security
Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may
deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the
Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or
proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or
other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment,
rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to
the interests of the Holders or the Trustee).

                  SECTION 10.7 AUTHORIZATION OF RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY TRUSTEE
UNDER SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

         The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the
Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further
distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this
Indenture and the Security Documents.

                  SECTION 10.8 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE.

         For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, subject to Section 10.10, each Subsidiary
Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees (such
guarantees, together with further guarantees granted from time to time pursuant
to Section 10.13, being the "Subsidiary Guarantee") to each Holder and the
Trustee irrespective of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the
Notes, the Security Documents, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder: (i) the due and punctual
payment of the principal and premium, if any, of, and interest on, the Notes
(including, without limitation,

                                       64

<PAGE>

interest after the filing of a petition initiating any proceedings referred to
in Section 6.1(j) or (k)), whether at maturity or on an interest payment date,
by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise; (ii) the due and punctual
payment of interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, of, and
interest on, the Notes, if lawful; (iii) the due and punctual payment and
performance of all other Obligations of the Issuers under the Notes, this
Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement, all in
accordance with the terms set forth herein and in the Notes, the Security
Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement; and (iv) in case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
Obligations hereunder or under the Notes, the Security Documents or the
Registration Rights Agreement, the due and punctual payment or performance
thereof in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

         Failing payment when due by the Issuers of any amount so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately.

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that (i) its obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or
thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any releases of
Collateral, any amendment of this Indenture, the Notes or Security Documents,
any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon
Collateral, the recovery of any judgment against either of the Issuers or any of
the Subsidiaries, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor and (ii) this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the Obligations of the Issuers under the Notes, this
Indenture, the Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement.

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not be entitled
to and irrevocably waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claim with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either of the
Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary or any other obligor
under the Notes, any right to require a proceeding first against the applicable
Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary or any other obligor
under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents, protest, notice and
all demands whatsoever, (ii) any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification in respect of any Obligations
guaranteed hereby and (iii) any claim or other rights that it may now or
hereafter acquire against the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries that arise from
the existence or performance of its Obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee,
including, without limitation, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of a Holder against the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries or any Collateral
that a Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy
or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any
payment made hereunder or otherwise, and including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries, directly
or indirectly, in cash or other property, by setoff or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

         If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary of the
Issuers or any other obligor under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security
Documents, trustee, liquidator, or other similar official, any amount paid by
the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary of the Issuers or
any other obligor under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents to
the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between the Subsidiary
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(i) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Section 6.2 for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration as to the Issuers of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in
the event of any declaration of acceleration of those Obligations as provided in
Section 6.2, those Obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith
become due and payable by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of
this Subsidiary Guarantee.

                  SECTION 10.9 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE.

         To evidence the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.8, the
Issuers and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that (a) a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee substantially as set forth on Exhibit C hereto shall be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, (b) such
endorsement shall be executed on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor by its
Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating
Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or any Vice President and (c) a counterpart
signature page to this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of each Subsidiary
Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, President or one of its Vice Presidents
and attested to by another officer acknowledging such Subsidiary Guarantor's
agreement to be bound by the provisions hereof and thereof.

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee
set forth in Section 10.8 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

         If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Notes on which a Subsidiary
Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall nevertheless be valid.

         The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set
forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  SECTION 10.10 LIMITATION ON SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR'S LIABILITY.

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee
by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute
a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under
its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary
Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee, result in the Obligations
of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law or
render a Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent.

                  SECTION 10.11 RIGHTS UNDER THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE.

                           (a)      No payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any
payment out of any Collateral or give rise to any claim of the Subsidiary
Guarantors against the Trustee or any Holder.

                           (b)      Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of
the issuance, sale and purchase of the Notes and notice from the Trustee or the
Holders from time to time of any of the Notes of their acceptance and reliance
on this Subsidiary Guarantee.

                           (c)      No set-off, counterclaim, reduction or
diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or nature (other than
performance by the Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations hereunder) that
any Subsidiary Guarantor may have or assert against the Trustee or any Holder
shall be available hereunder to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

                           (d)      Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay all
costs, expenses and fees, including all reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be
incurred by the Trustee in enforcing or attempting to enforce the Subsidiary
Guarantee or protecting the rights of the Trustee or the Holder, if any, in
accordance with this Indenture.

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 10.12 PRIMARY OBLIGATIONS.

         The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall constitute
a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees
that it is directly liable to each Holder hereunder, that the Obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the
Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, and that a separate action may be
brought against each Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such action is brought
against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or whether the Issuers or
any other Subsidiary Guarantor is joined in such action. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not
be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by the Trustee or the Holders of
whatever remedies they may have against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security
Trustee may at any time possess. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any
release that may be given by the Trustee or the Holders to the Issuers or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor shall not release such Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  SECTION 10.13 GUARANTEE BY SUBSIDIARY.

         The Company shall cause (i) each Restricted Subsidiary that is formed
or acquired after the date hereof and (ii) each Subsidiary that becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary after the date hereof, in each case concurrently
therewith, to (i) become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and execute and
deliver to the Trustee a Subsidiary Guarantee in the form of Exhibit C attached
hereto and a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Issuers' Obligations as set forth in Section 10.8; and (ii)
execute a Security Agreement (substantially in the form of the Security
Agreement entered into on the Issue Date) and other Security Documents necessary
or reasonably requested by the Trustee to grant the Trustee a valid,
enforceable, perfected Lien on the Collateral described therein, subject only to
Liens permitted under Section 4.12; and (iii) cause such Restricted Subsidiary
to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, that (i) such Security Agreement, supplemental indenture and
Subsidiary Guarantee have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) such Security Agreement, this Indenture and such
Subsidiary Guarantee constitute a legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, subject to customary assumptions and
exceptions, including for bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer and equitable
principles.

         Each Note issued after the date of execution by any Subsidiary
Guarantor of a Subsidiary Guarantee shall be endorsed with a form of Subsidiary
Guarantee that has been executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor. However, the
failure of any Note to have endorsed thereon a Subsidiary Guarantee executed by
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
such Subsidiary Guarantee against such Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  SECTION 10.14 RELEASE OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS.

         If all of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor is sold by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a Person (other than the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries) in a transaction that complies with the terms of this
Indenture and the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale are used in accordance with
Section 4.10, then such Subsidiary Guarantor will be released and discharged
from all of its Obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes and this
Indenture.

                  SECTION 10.15 GAMING LAW AND LIQUOR LAW CONSIDERATIONS.

                           (a)      The Trustee acknowledges, understands and
agrees that the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws may impose certain licensing or
transaction approval requirements prior to or subsequent to the exercise of the
rights and remedies granted to it under this Indenture with respect to the
Collateral subject to the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws.

                           9-1/2% SENIOR SECURED NOTE
                                    DUE 2010

         1.       Interest. The Majestic Star Casino, LLC, an Indiana limited
liability company (the "Company"), and The Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp.,
an Indiana corporation ("Capital" and, together with the Company, the
"Issuers"), as obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Note at the rate and in the manner specified below.

         The Issuers shall pay, in cash, interest on the principal amount of
this Note, at the rate of 9.5% per annum. The Issuers shall pay interest
semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and on the maturity date,
commencing on April 15, 2004, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the
next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date").

         Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. To
the extent lawful, the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the
rate of 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the
Notes; the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the same rate to the extent
lawful.

         2.       Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment
Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before
such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying
Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal and
interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. The Issuers may pay principal
and interest by check to a Holder's registered address.

         3.       Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee shall act
as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Holder. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

         4.       Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture
dated as of October 7, 2003 (the "Indenture") among the Issuers, the Subsidiary
Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "TIA") (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as
in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA and thereafter as in effect on the date the Indenture is
so qualified. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The terms of the
Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes.
Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the
Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered under the Indenture is unlimited.

         5.       Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in Sections 3.7(b)
and 3.8 of the Indenture, the Notes are not redeemable at the Issuers' option
prior to October 15, 2007. Thereafter, the Notes shall be subject to redemption
at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the applicable date
of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of
the years indicated below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Year                     Percentage
----                     ----------
<S>                      <C>
2007                     104.750%
2008                     102.375%
2009 and thereafter      100.000%
</TABLE>

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time or from time to time prior
to October 15, 2006, the Issuers may redeem, at their option, up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a redemption price
of 109.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, through the applicable date of
redemption, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity
Offerings; provided that, (a) such redemption shall occur within 60 days of the
date of closing of such Qualified Equity Offering and (b) at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on or after the Issue Date remains
outstanding immediately after giving effect to each such redemption.

         6.       Mandatory Redemption. There shall be no mandatory redemption
of the Notes (other than a Required Regulatory Redemption).

         7.       Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000. 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 Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar and the Issuers need not exchange
or register the transfer (i) of any Note or portion of a Note selected for
redemption or (ii) 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.

         8.       Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes, subject to the provisions of the
Indenture with respect to the record dates for the payment of interest.

         9.       Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (except certain payment
defaults) may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Without the consent
of any Holders, the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents, may be
amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to
provide for assumption of the Issuers' obligations to the Holders in the case of
a merger or consolidation, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes, 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 or under the Indenture or the
Security Documents of any Holder, to release any Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Notes permitted to be released under the terms of the Indenture, to comply with
requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA, or to comply with the requirements of the
Trustee and the Depositary (including its nominees) with respect to transfers of
beneficial interests in the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
consent of not less than two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
at the time outstanding, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee
may not amend or supplement the Security Documents, or waive or modify the
rights of the Holders thereunder or the provisions of the Indenture relating
thereto.

         10.      Defaults and Remedies. If an 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 by written notice to the
Issuers and the Trustee all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, except
that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes 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. The Trustee may
require security and indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Notes. 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 Issuers must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee.

         11.      Trustee Dealings with Issuers. The Trustee under the
Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept
deposits from, and perform services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may
otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

         12.      No Recourse Against Others. No director, member, manager,
officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or controlling person of the
Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the
Indenture, the Security Documents or the Registration Rights Agreement 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 and the Subsidiary Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this provision shall be construed as a waiver or release of any
claims under the Federal securities laws.

         13.      Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

         14.      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).

         15.      CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use
CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

         16.      Governing Law. This Note and the Indenture shall be construed,
interpreted and the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Sections 5-1401 and 5 -
1402 of the New York General Obligations Law and New York Civil Practice Laws
and Rules 327(b).

         [17.     Holders' Compliance with Registration Rights Agreement. Each
Holder of a Note, by its acceptance thereof, acknowledges and agrees to the
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2003,
among the Issuers and the parties named on the signature page thereof (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), including but not limited to the obligations
of the Holders with respect to a registration and the indemnification of the
Issuers and the Initial Purchasers (as defined therein) to the extent provided
therein.](2)

without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the

reimburse the Company in an amount (such amount, until reimbursed to the

for such Equity Holder, plus (B) interest and penalties imposed on the Company

                                    THE NOTES

Section 2.1 Form and Dating.

       The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, the terms of which are
incorporated in and made a part of this Indenture. Each Note shall include the
Subsidiary Guarantee executed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the form
of Exhibit C attached hereto, the terms of which are incorporated into and made
a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers are
subject or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The
Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

       The Notes will be issued (i) in global form (the "Global Notes"),
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the text
referred to in footnotes 1 and 3 thereto) and (ii) under certain circumstances,
in definitive form (the "Definitive Notes"), substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto (excluding the text referred to in footnotes 1 and 3
thereto). Each Global Note shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding
Notes from time to time endorsed thereon; provided, that the aggregate amount of
outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement
of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount
of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee, in
accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section
2.6 hereof.

Section 2.2       Execution and Authentication.

       Two Officers of each of the Issuers shall sign the Notes for the Issuers
by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no
longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall
nevertheless be valid.

       A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of
the Trustee. The signature of the Trustee shall be conclusive evidence that the
Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. The form of Trustee's
certificate of authentication to be borne by the Notes shall be substantially as
set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

       The Trustee shall, upon a Company Order, authenticate for original issue
Notes in any aggregate principal amount. The aggregate principal amount of Notes
that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.
Subject to Section 4.9 hereof, additional Notes may be issued hereunder from
time to time, without the consent of the Holders of previously issued Notes, in
an aggregate principal amount to be determined from time to time

                                       25
<PAGE>

by the Issuers; provided, that additional Notes may not be issued with original
issue discount as determined under section 1271 et seq. of the Code.

       The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers
to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Indenture to authenticating by the Trustee includes
authenticating by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers.

       The Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to the
provisions of this Indenture and the Notes with respect to record dates)
interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note is overdue, and neither the Issuers, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Issuers or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.3 Registrar, Paying Agent and Depositary.

       The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and (ii) an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent. The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers shall notify
the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying
Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
act as Paying Agent or Registrar, except that for purposes of Articles Three and
Eight and Sections 4.1, 4.10 and 4.14, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall act as Paying Agent.

       The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the provisions of
the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that
relate to such Agent.

       The Issuers initially appoint DTC to act as Depositary with respect to
the Global Notes. The Trustee shall act as custodian for the Depositary with
respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

       The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the
Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers 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 Issuers 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

                                       26
<PAGE>

than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability
for the money delivered to the Trustee. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company acts as Paying Agent (subject to Section 2.3), it shall 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 related to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.5 Holder Lists.

       The Trustee shall 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 ss. 312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Issuers shall 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,
including the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each such Holder, and
the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a).

Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange.

       (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are
presented by a Holder to the Registrar with a request (1) to register the
transfer of the Definitive Notes or (2) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an
equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,
the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if
its requirements for such transactions are met; provided, that the Definitive
Notes so presented (A) have been duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by
such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing; and (B) in the case
of a Restricted Security, such request shall be accompanied by the following
additional documents:

              (i) if such Restricted Security is being delivered to the
Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without
transfer, a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto); or

              (ii) if such Restricted Security is being transferred to a QIB in
accordance with Rule 144A or pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect (in substantially the
form of Exhibit B attached hereto); or

              (iii) if such Restricted Security is being transferred in reliance
on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, a
certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto) and an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuers and the
Registrar to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities
Act.

       (b) Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global
Note. A Definitive Note may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global
Note only upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Trustee, together with:

                                       27
<PAGE>

              (i) written instructions directing the Trustee to make an
endorsement on the appropriate Global Note to reflect an increase in the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note; and

              (ii) if such Definitive Note is a Restricted Security, a
certification (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto) and, if
applicable, a legal opinion, in each case similar to that required pursuant to
Section 2.6(a)(i)-(iii), as applicable;

in which case the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause the
aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the appropriate Global Note
to be increased accordingly. If no Global Note is then outstanding, the Issuers
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Global Note in the
appropriate principal amount.

       (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of
Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the
Depositary therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to
those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.

       (d) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note for a Definitive
Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written transfer instructions (or such
other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary), from the
Depositary (or its nominee) on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest
in a Global Note, the Trustee shall, in accordance with the standing
instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Trustee,
cause the aggregate principal amount of Global Notes to be reduced accordingly
and, following such reduction, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee a Definitive Note in the appropriate
principal amount; provided, that in the case of a Restricted Security, such
instructions shall be accompanied by the following additional documents:

              (i) if such beneficial interest is being transferred to the Person
designated by the Depositary as being the beneficial owner, a certification to
that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto); or

              (ii) if such beneficial interest is being transferred to a QIB in
accordance with Rule 144A or pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect (in substantially the
form of Exhibit B attached hereto); or

              (iii) if such beneficial interest is being transferred in reliance
on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, a
certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto) and an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuers and to
the Registrar to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the
Securities Act.

       Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global
Note shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as
the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

                                       28
<PAGE>

       (e) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the Global Note may not be transferred as a whole
except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary; provided, that if:

              (i) the Depositary (a) notifies the Issuers that the Depositary is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Issuers within 90 days after delivery of such notice, or (b)
has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; or

              (ii) the Issuers, at their sole discretion, notify the Trustee in
writing that they elect to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this
Indenture;

then the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.

       (f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in the Global Note have either been exchanged for
Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the Global Note shall be
returned to (or retained by) and cancelled by the Trustee. At any time prior to
such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in the Global Note is exchanged
for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the aggregate
principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee
to reflect such reduction.

       (g) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar's
request. All Definitive Notes and Global Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes or Global Notes shall be legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Definitive Notes or Global
Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

       No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange (without transfer to another person) pursuant to Sections
2.10, 3.7, 3.8, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.5 of this Indenture).

       The Issuers shall not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of
or exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof
and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or (ii) register
the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in

                                       29
<PAGE>

part; or (iii) register the transfer of or exchange a Note between a record
date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

       Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note,
the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose
name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for all purposes,
and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Issuers shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

       The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest
in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly require by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms
of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance
as to form with the express requirements thereof.

       (h) Exchange of Series A Notes for Series B Notes. The Series A Notes may
be exchanged for Series B Notes pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer. The
Trustee and Registrar shall make the exchange as follows:

       The Issuers shall present the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate
certifying the following:

              (A) upon issuance of the Series B Notes, the transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Offer have been consummated; and

              (B) the principal amount of Series A Notes properly tendered in
the Exchange Offer that are represented by a Global Note and the principal
amount of Series A Notes properly tendered in the Exchange Offer that are
represented by Definitive Notes; the name of each Holder of such Definitive
Notes; the principal amount properly tendered in the Exchange Offer by each such
Holder; and the name and address to which Definitive Notes for Series B Notes
shall be registered and sent for each such Holder.

       The Trustee, upon receipt of (i) such Officers' Certificate, (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel (x) to the effect that the Series B Notes have been
registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act and this Indenture has been
qualified under the TIA and (y) with respect to the matters set forth in Section
6(p) of the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) a Company Order, shall
authenticate (A) a Global Note for Series B Notes in aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes represented by a
Global Note indicated in such Officers' Certificate as having been properly
tendered and (B) Definitive Notes representing Series B Notes registered in the
names of, and in the principal amounts indicated in such Officers' Certificate.

       If the principal amount at maturity of the Global Note for the Series B
Notes is less than the principal amount at maturity of the Global Note for the
Series A Notes, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note for
Series A Notes indicating a reduction in the principal amount at maturity
represented thereby.

                                       30
<PAGE>

       The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes for Series B Notes to the
Holders thereof as indicated in such Officers' Certificate.

Section 2.7 Replacement Notes.

       If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuers and
the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements for replacements of Notes are
met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be
supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the
Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The
Issuers or the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

       Every replacement Note is an obligation of the Issuers and shall be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.8 Outstanding Notes.

       The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the
Trustee except for those cancelled 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 2.8 as not outstanding.

       If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, the replaced Note
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

       If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

       Subject to Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding
because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Note; however,
Notes held by the Trustee shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of
Section 3.7 hereof.

Section 2.9 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
Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers shall be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes
that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be
considered as not outstanding.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

       Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuers (and the
Subsidiary Guarantors) may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

       If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuers (and the Subsidiary
Guarantors) shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. The definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed or engraved, or
provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the
rules and regulations of any principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such
definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes
shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes
at the office or agency maintained by the Issuers for such purpose pursuant to
Section 4.2 hereof, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuers (and the Subsidiary
Guarantors) shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

       The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall retain or
destroy cancelled Notes in accordance with its normal practices (subject to the
record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) unless the Issuers direct them
to be returned to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes that have been redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed and
certification of their destruction delivered to the Issuers unless by a written
order, signed by one Officer of each of the Issuers, the Issuers shall direct
that cancelled Notes be returned to them.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

       If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuers
shall 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, which date shall be at the earliest
practicable date but in all events at least five Business Days prior to the
payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1
hereof. The Issuers shall, with the consent of the Trustee, fix or cause to be
fixed each such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before
the special record date, the Issuers (or the

                                       32
<PAGE>

Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail to the
Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date
and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 Legends.

       (a) Except as permitted by subsections (b) or (c) of this Section 2.13,
each Note shall bear legends relating to restrictions on transfer pursuant to
the securities laws in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto.

       (b) Upon any sale or transfer of a Restricted Security (including any
Restricted Security represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act:

              (i) in the case of any Restricted Security that is a Definitive
Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such
Restricted Security for a Definitive Note that does not bear the legends
required by subsection (a) above; and

              (ii) in the case of any Restricted Security represented by a
Global Note, such Restricted Security shall not be required to bear the legends
required by subsection (a) above, but shall continue to be subject to the
provisions of Section 2.6(c) hereof; provided, that with respect to any request
for an exchange of a Restricted Security that is represented by a Global Note
for a Definitive Note that does not bear the legends required by subsection (a)
above, which request is made in reliance upon Rule 144, the Holder thereof shall
certify in writing to the Registrar that such request is being made pursuant to
Rule 144.

              (iii) The Issuers (and the Subsidiary Guarantors) shall issue and
the Trustee shall authenticate Series B Notes in exchange for Series A Notes
accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. The Series B Notes shall not bear
the legends required by subsection (a) above unless the Holder of such Series A
Notes is either (A) a broker-dealer who purchased such Series A Notes directly
from the Issuers to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available
exemption under the Securities Act, (B) a Person participating in the
distribution of the Series A Notes or (C) a Person who is an affiliate (as
defined in Rule 144A) of the Issuers.

Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys.

       Subject to Section 3.5 hereof, prior to 10:00 a.m. on each date on which
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes are due, the
Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent in immediately available
funds, money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such date in a
timely manner that permits the Trustee or the Paying Agent to remit payment to
the Holders on such date.

with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata
basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems to be fair and reasonable.

       The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of
Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption.

       At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date
(except in the case of a Required Regulatory Redemption requiring less notice),
the Issuers shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address.

       The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

              (1) the redemption date;

              (2) the redemption price;

              (3) if any Note is being redeemed in part only, the portion of the
       principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the
       redemption date, upon cancellation of the original Note, a new Note or
       Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be
       issued;

              (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;

              (6) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption

       ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

                                       34
<PAGE>

is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such notice is to be given, an
Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting
forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding
paragraph.

Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

       Once notice of redemption has been mailed to the Holders in accordance
with Section 3.3 herein, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on
the redemption date at the redemption price. At any time prior to the mailing of
a notice of redemption to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.3, the Issuers may
withdraw, revoke or rescind any notice of redemption delivered to the Trustee
without any continuing obligation to redeem the Notes as contemplated by such
notice of redemption.

Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price.

       At or before 10:00 a.m. on the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit
with the Trustee (to the extent not already held by the Trustee) or with the
Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall return to the Issuers any money
deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all
Notes to be redeemed.

       Interest on the Notes to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the
applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment,
if the Issuers make or deposit the redemption payment in accordance with this
Section 3.5. If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender
for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the
redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in
the Notes.

Section 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part.

       Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the
Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Note surrendered.

other amount as may be required by applicable law or order of such Gaming
Authority) and Liquidated Damages (if permitted by relevant Gaming Authorities),
if any, to the redemption date, pursuant to a Required Regulatory Redemption.
Any Required Regulatory Redemption shall, except as specifically provided in
this Section 3.8, be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 unless other procedures are required by any Gaming
Authority. In addition, where such redemption is required because the Holder or
beneficial owner of Notes is required to be found suitable or to otherwise
qualify under any gaming laws and is not found suitable or so qualified, the
Issuers shall have the right to require any such Holder or beneficial owner to
dispose of its Notes upon 30 days' notice (or such earlier date as may be
required by the applicable Gaming Authority).

Section 3.9 No Mandatory Redemption.

       The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments

and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and
this Indenture may be served. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to

all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers
of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The
Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or
agency.

       The Issuers hereby designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as
one such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.3.

Section 4.3 Reports.

       (a) Regardless of whether required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuers will furnish to

Issuers will file such information with the Commission so long as the Commission
will accept such filings.

       Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

       (b) So long as is required for an offer or sale of the Notes to qualify

the Issuers) stating that a review of the activities of the Issuers and the
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determine whether each has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture,
and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that each
of the Issuers and the Subsidiaries has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled

above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the independent public
accountants of the Company (which shall be a firm of established national
reputation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) that in making the
examination necessary for certification of such financial statements nothing has
come to their attention which would lead them to believe that either the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries has violated any provisions of this Indenture or, if
any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence
thereof, it being understood that such

                                       38
<PAGE>

accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any
failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

accordance with GAAP.

Section 4.6 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

       The Issuers (and each Subsidiary Guarantor) covenant (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) that neither of them shall at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay, extension, usury or other law, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive the payment of all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes, or that may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuers and each
Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not,
by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee but shall suffer and permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.7 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

       The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

              (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on
account of any Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or

or any Restricted Subsidiary);

              (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any

thereof; or

              (iv) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above
being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of
such Restricted Payment:

       (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would occur as a consequence thereof, and

       (b) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro
forma basis, the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
under the Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.9 hereof, and

Trustee), together with the aggregate of all other Restricted Payments made on
or after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i),

              (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first
              fiscal quarter commencing immediately after the Issue Date to the
              end of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
              internal financial statements are available at the time of such
              Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such
              period is a deficit, 100% of such deficit), plus

       (2)    100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company
              from the issuance or sale, other than to a Subsidiary, of Equity
              Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital Stock)

              Proceeds from the issuance or sale of Equity Interests to Majestic
              Star, BDI, or any Affiliate thereof), plus

       (3)    100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company
              from the issuance or sale, other than to a Subsidiary, of any

              Through Entity on the date of such acquisition but subsequently
              becomes a Flow Through Entity after any period covered by such

Section 4.9 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

       The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) create, incur, issue, assume,
guaranty or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to,
contingently or otherwise (collectively, "incur"), any Indebtedness (including,
without limitation, Acquired Debt) or (ii) issue any Disqualified Capital Stock;
provided, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness
(other than Disqualified Capital Stock) (including, without limitation, Acquired
Debt) and the Company may issue shares of Disqualified Capital Stock if (x) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of, or would occur after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such incurrence
or issuance, and (y) the Interest Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently
ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are
available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness
is incurred or such Disqualified Capital Stock is issued would have been not
less than 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness
had been incurred, or the Disqualified Capital Stock had been issued, as the
case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing limitations will not
prohibit the incurrence of:

       (a) Indebtedness under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding, $15,000,000 less the aggregate
amount of repayments of such indebtedness contemplated by clause (iii) of
Section 4.10 hereof;

       (b) performance bonds, appeal bonds, surety bonds, insurance obligations
or bonds and other similar bonds or obligations (including Obligations under
letters of credit) incurred in the ordinary course of business, and any
guarantees thereof;

       (c) Hedging Obligations incurred to fix the interest rate on any variable
rate Indebtedness otherwise permitted by this Indenture; provided, that the
notional principal amount of each such Hedging Obligation does not exceed the
principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Hedging Obligation relates
and that such Hedging Obligations shall not have been incurred for purposes of
speculation;

       (d) Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness
under the Credit Facility which shall not be deemed to be outstanding pursuant
to this clause (d)), including the Notes and the Security Documents, to the
extent they constitute Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date;

       (e) Indebtedness incurred by the Company in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed, at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (e), $3,000,000
less the aggregate amount of repayments of such indebtedness contemplated by
clause (iii) of Section 4.10 hereof;

       (f) any Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes or the Indebtedness permitted
by clause (e) above; and

                                       44
<PAGE>

       (g) Indebtedness issued in exchange for, or the proceeds of which are
contemporaneously used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, or refund
(collectively, "Refinance"), Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Interest
Coverage Ratio test set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, clause (d)
above or this clause (g) (the "Refinancing Indebtedness"); provided, that (i)
the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the
principal amount of Indebtedness so Refinanced (including any required premiums
and out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith), (ii)
the Refinancing Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity that equals or
exceeds the final stated maturity, and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that
is equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity, of the
Indebtedness being Refinanced, (iii) the Refinancing Indebtedness ranks, in
right of payment, no more favorable to the Notes than the Indebtedness being
Refinanced, and (iv) such Refinancing Indebtedness shall only be used to
refinance outstanding Indebtedness of such Person issuing such Refinancing
Indebtedness.

Section 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

       The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
make any Asset Sale unless

              (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale not less than the fair market value
of the assets subject to such Asset Sale;

              (ii) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale is in
the form of (A) cash or Cash Equivalents, (B) liabilities of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms
subordinated to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees) that are assumed by the
transferee of such assets (provided, that following such Asset Sale there is no
further recourse to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to
such liabilities), or (C) fixed assets or property that, in the good faith
judgement of the Managers, at the time of such Asset Sale will be used in a
Related Business of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

              (iii) within 270 days of such Asset Sale (or within 30 days in the
case of an Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales with Net Proceeds of
$15,000,000 or more), the Net Proceeds thereof are (A) in the case of an Asset
Sale or series of related Asset Sales with Net Proceeds of less than
$15,000,000, invested in fixed assets or property that, in the good faith
judgment of the Managers, at the time of such Asset Sale will be used in a
Related Business of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (B) applied to
repay Indebtedness under Purchase Money Obligations incurred in connection with
the asset so sold, (C) applied to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facility
and permanently reduce the commitment thereunder in the amount of the
Indebtedness so repaid or (D) to the extent not used as provided in clauses (A),
(B), or (C) applied to make an offer to purchase Notes as described below (an
"Excess Proceeds Offer"); provided, that the Company will not be required to
make an Excess Proceeds Offer until the amount of Excess Proceeds is greater
than $5,000,000.

       The foregoing provisions in (i) or (ii) above shall not apply to an Event
of Loss.

                                       45
<PAGE>

       Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or temporarily invest
such Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents.

       Net Proceeds not invested or applied as set forth in subclause (A), (B)
or (C) of clause (iii) above constitute "Excess Proceeds." If the Company
elects, or becomes obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuers shall
offer to purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Excess
Proceeds (the "Purchase Amount"), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the purchase date. The Issuers must consummate
such Excess Proceeds Offer not later than 30 days after the expiration of the
270 day period following the Asset Sale that produced such Excess Proceeds. If
the aggregate purchase price for the Notes tendered pursuant to the Excess
Proceeds Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may use the portion of the Excess Proceeds remaining after payment
of such purchase price for general corporate purposes.

       Each Excess Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days and no longer, unless a longer period is required by law (the "Excess
Proceeds Offer Period"). Promptly after the termination of the Excess Proceeds
Offer Period (the "Excess Proceeds Payment Date"), the Issuers shall purchase
and mail or deliver payment for the Purchase Amount for the Notes or portions
thereof tendered, pro rata or by such other method as may be required by law,
or, if less than the Purchase Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered
pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer.

       To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuers shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof. The Company
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or
suffer to exist or become effective any restriction that would impair the
ability of the Issuers to make an Excess Proceeds Offer upon an Asset Sale or,
if such Excess Proceeds Offer is made, to pay for the Notes tendered for
purchase.

       The Issuers shall, no later than 30 days following the expiration of the
12-month period following the Asset Sale that produced Excess Proceeds, commence
the Excess Proceeds Offer by mailing to the Trustee and each Holder, at such
Holder's last registered address, a notice, which shall govern the terms of the
Excess Proceeds Offer, and shall state:

              (1) that the Excess Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this
       Section 4.10, the principal amount of Notes which shall be accepted for
       payment and that all Notes validly tendered shall be accepted for payment
       on a pro rata basis;

              (2) the purchase price and the date of purchase;

              (3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment pursuant
       to the Excess Proceeds Offer shall continue to accrue interest;

                                       46
<PAGE>

              (4) that, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the
       purchase price with respect to any Notes tendered, Notes accepted for
       payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue
       interest after the Excess Proceeds Payment Date;

              (5) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to an
       Excess Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with
       the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of
       the Note completed, to the Issuers prior to the close of business on the
       third Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Payment
       Date;

              (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if
       the Issuers receive, not later than the close of business on the second
       Business Day preceding the Excess Proceeds Payment Date, a telegram,
       telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
       Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase
       and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such
       Notes purchased;

              (7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be
       issued Notes representing the unpurchased portion of the Notes
       surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued
       shall be in principal amount of $1,000 or whole multiples thereof; and

              (8) the instructions that Holders must follow in order to tender
       their Notes.

       On or before the Excess Proceeds Payment Date, the Issuers shall (i)
accept for payment on a pro rata basis the Notes or portions thereof tendered
pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so
accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Notes so accepted, together with
an Officers' Certificate stating that the Notes or portions thereof tendered to
the Issuers are accepted for payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to
each Holder of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase
price of such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to
such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered.

       The Issuers shall make a public announcement of the results of the Excess
Proceeds Offer as soon as practicable after the Excess Proceeds Payment Date.
For the purposes of this Section 4.10, the Trustee shall act as the Paying
Agent.

Section 4.11 Limitation on Transactions With Affiliates.

       The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, consummate or suffer to
exist any Affiliate Transaction, except for:

              (i) Affiliate Transactions that, together with all related
Affiliate Transactions, have an aggregate value of not more than $1,000,000;
provided, that (a) such transactions are conducted in good faith and on terms
that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary
than those that would have been obtained in a comparable

                                       47
<PAGE>

transaction at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary on an
arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary and (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate certifying to such effect;

              (ii) Affiliate Transactions that, together with all related
Affiliate Transactions, have an aggregate value of not more than $5,000,000;
provided, that (i) a majority of the disinterested Managers determine that such
transactions are conducted in good faith and on terms that are no less favorable
to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have
been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an
Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) prior to
entering into such transaction the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Officers' Certificate certifying to such effect; or

              (iii) Affiliate Transactions for which the Company delivers to the
Trustee an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing.

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be deemed not to be
Affiliate Transactions:

       (a) Restricted Payments (other than payments permitted under clause (vi)
of the second paragraph of Section 4.7 hereof) permitted by Section 4.7 hereof;

       (b) the Management Agreements and the Member Agreement, in each case, as
in effect on the Issue Date, without giving effect to any amendment, supplement
or modification thereof, and payment of the Management Fees thereunder;

       The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any
asset (including, without limitation, all real, tangible or intangible property)

amended from time to time) and (ii) their (and the Subsidiaries') rights
(charter and statutory), licenses (including gaming and related licenses) and
franchises; provided, that the Issuers shall not be required to preserve any
such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other
existence of any Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company
shall determine in good faith that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and the Company's
Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any
material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.14 Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

       Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall offer to
repurchase all of the Notes then outstanding (the "Change of Control Offer") at

Section 5.1 When the Company May Merge, etc.

       Neither Issuer shall consolidate or merge with or into (regardless of

lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties
or assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries) in one or more related transactions to, any other Person, unless:

              (i) such Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
has been made is a corporation

                                       51
<PAGE>

organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia;

              (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the
Obligations of such Issuer, pursuant to a supplemental indenture and in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, this Indenture, the
Security Documents and the Registration Rights Agreement;

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

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

              (v) such Issuer, or any Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger, or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,

(immediately after the transaction but prior to any purchase accounting
adjustments resulting from the transaction) equal to or greater than the

4.9 hereof.

       The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of any
proposed transaction an Officers' Certificate to the foregoing effect, an

delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (i) the Holders
will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
result of the reorganization and will be subject to Federal income tax on the

than all of the Issuers' assets) contemplated by Section 5.1 hereof in which
neither of the Issuers is the surviving Person, the successor formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the applicable Issuer is merged or to which

shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power
of, such Issuer, and such Issuer shall be discharged from its Obligations under
this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Notes and the Registration Rights
Agreement with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as
such Issuer herein or therein. The Trustee shall have the right to require any
such Person to ensure, by executing and delivering appropriate instruments and
Opinions of Counsel, that the Trustee continues to hold a first priority Lien on
all Collateral for the benefit of the Holders.

       periods or any extension of any maturity date) any mortgage, indenture or
       instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be
       secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Issuers or any Restricted
       Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuers or any
       Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guaranty now exists
       or is created after the Issue Date, if (A) either (1) such default
       results from the failure to

                                       53
<PAGE>

       pay principal of or interest on such Indebtedness or (2) as a result of

       competent jurisdiction against the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary
       and such judgment or judgments remain undischarged, unbonded or unstayed
       for a period of 60 days after entry, provided that the aggregate of all

       the judgment of the Managers, both desirable in the conduct of the
       business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and not
       disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect;

              (10) any failure to comply with (after giving effect to any
       applicable grace periods) any material agreement or covenant in, or
       material provision of, any Security Document;

              (11) any breach or waiver of any provision of the Member

       (c) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case,

       (d) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or
substantially all of its property,

       (e) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

       (f) admits in writing its inability to pay debts as the same become due;
and

                                       54
<PAGE>

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

       (a) is for relief against either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor in an involuntary case,

       (b) appoints a Custodian of either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or for all or substantially all of their property, or

       (c) orders the liquidation of either of the Issuers or any Subsidiary
Guarantor,

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

       The Issuers shall, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of
Default, deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of
Default and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect
thereto.

Section 6.2 Acceleration.

       Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (12) or (13) of
Section 6.1 hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to
the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare
the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and
payable. Upon such declaration the principal and interest shall be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (12) or (13) of
Section 6.1 hereof occurs, all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

Section 6.3 Other Remedies.

       If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy (under
this Indenture or otherwise) to collect the payment of principal or interest on
the Notes to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this
Indenture or the Security Documents.

       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 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.

Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.

       Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes (a) 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 interest on, or the principal of,

                                       55
<PAGE>

any Note or a Default or an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or
provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each outstanding Note affected, and/or (b) rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal or
interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured
or waived. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured 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 6.5 Control by Majority.

       The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for 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, or that may involve the Trustee in personal
liability.

Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits.

       A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
only if:

       (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event
of Default;

       (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

       (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense;

       (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of
indemnity; and

       (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, 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 the Holder.

                                       56
<PAGE>

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee.

       If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of
principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue
interest and such further amount as shall be 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 6.9 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 compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any
other obligor under the Notes), their creditors or their property 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 7.7 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 7.7 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 of the Notes
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
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

       Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee
collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the
following order:

       First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.7, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of
collection;

       Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal
and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to
the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest,
respectively;

                                       57
<PAGE>

       Third: without duplication, to Holders for any other Obligations owing to
the Holders under the Notes or this Indenture; and

       Fourth: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct.

       The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

       In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, 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
pursuant to Section 6.6, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee.

              (1) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
       Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
       Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as
       a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
       conduct of his or her own affairs.

              (2) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                     (a) The duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
              the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need
              perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
              Indenture and the Security Documents, and no others, and no
              implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
              against the Trustee.

                     (b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
              may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
              correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates
              or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
              requirements of this Indenture and the Security Documents.
              However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions
              to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
              this Indenture and the Security Documents (but need not confirm or
              investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other
              facts stated therein).

              (3) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
       negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
       misconduct, except that:

                                       58
<PAGE>

                     (a) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph
              (2) of this Section.

                     (b) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
              judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is
              proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
              pertinent facts.

                     (c) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
              action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with
              a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5.

              (4) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
       of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
       paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this Section.

              (5) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
       expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may
       refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it
       receives security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
       liability or expense.

              (6) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
       received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the
       Issuers. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
       other funds except to the extent required by law.

              (7) The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter into
       the Intercreditor Agreement upon execution thereof by the other parties
       thereto.

Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee.

              (1) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed
       by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
       Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
       document.

              (2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
       require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The
       Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
       good faith in reliance on such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of
       Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such
       counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
       authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action
       taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
       thereon.

              (3) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
       responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with
       due care.

              (4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
       omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within
       its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

                                       59
<PAGE>

              (5) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture or
       the Security Documents, any demand, request, direction or notice from the
       Issuers shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of each of the
       Issuers, on behalf of the Issuers.

              (6) Except with respect to Section 4.1, the Trustee shall have no
       duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuers' covenants in
       Article 4 hereof. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
       knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i) any Event of
       Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.1(1), 6.1(2) and 4.1, or (ii)
       any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received
       written notification or obtained actual knowledge.

              (7) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
       the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture, 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.

              (8) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
       the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
       instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
       bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
       document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
       inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit,
       and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
       investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
       premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole
       cost of the Company and shall incur not liability or additional liability
       of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

              (9) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default
       or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
       actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which in
       fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
       Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
       Indenture.

              (10) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
       given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
       indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in
       each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other
       Person employed to act hereunder.

              (11) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver and
       Officers' Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or
       titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions
       pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer's Certificate may be signed by
       any person authorized to sign an Officers' Certificate, including any
       person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously
       delivered and not superseded.

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee.

       The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or an Affiliate of
the Issuers with the

                                       60
<PAGE>

same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the
Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA) it must
eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to
continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The
Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.4 Trustee's Disclaimer.

       The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the
Notes or as to the adequacy of the security for the Notes, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money
paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers' direction under any provision hereof,
it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document
in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults.

       If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if the
Trustee has knowledge thereof (within the meaning of Section 7.2(6)), the
Trustee shall mail to the Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default
within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of
Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note,
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

       Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the
date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report
dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA ss. 313(a) (but if no
event described in TIA ss. 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA ss. 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA ss. 313(c).

       Commencing at the time this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, a copy
of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be filed with the
Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed. The Issuers
shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock
exchange or any delisting thereof.

       At the express written direction of the Company and at the Company's
expense, the Trustee will provide any Gaming Authority with:

              (i) copies of all notices, reports and other written
communications that the Trustee gives to Holders;

              (ii) a list of all of the Holders promptly after the original
issuance of the Notes and periodically thereafter if the Company so directs in
writing;

                                       61
<PAGE>

              (iii) notice of any Default or Event of Default under this
Indenture, any acceleration of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby, the
institution of any legal actions or proceedings before any court or governmental
authority in respect of a Default or Event of Default hereunder;

              (iv) notice of the removal or resignation of the Trustee within
five Business Days of the effectiveness thereof;

              (v) notice of any transfer or assignment of rights, by the Issuers
or any Guarantor, under this Indenture known to the Trustee within five Business
Days thereof; and

              (vi) a copy of any amendment to the Notes or this Indenture within
five Business Days of the effectiveness thereof.

       Subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 hereof, to the extent requested by
the Company in writing and at the Company's expense, the Trustee shall cooperate
with any Gaming Authority in order to provide such Gaming Authority with such
information and documentation as may be reasonably available to the Trustee and
as may be requested in writing by such Gaming Authority and as otherwise
permitted by applicable law.

Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

       The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation
for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Issuers and
the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and
counsel, except such disbursements, advances and expenses as may be attributable
to its negligence or bad faith.

       Except as set forth below, the Issuers shall indemnify the Trustee and
its officers, directors, agents and employees against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its
part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
its duties under this Indenture and the Security Documents, including the costs
and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or the Security Documents against the
Issuers and defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The
Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the
Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and
the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. In the event that, in the reasonable
opinion of the Trustee, a conflict of interest or conflicting defenses would
arise in connection with the representation of the Issuers and the Trustee by
the same counsel, the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not pay
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

       The obligations of the Issuers under this Section 7.7 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                                       62
<PAGE>

       To secure the Issuers' payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

       When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.1(12) or (13) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee.

       A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.8.

       The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Issuers. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

       (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

       (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for
relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

       (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property;

       (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting; or

       (e) the Trustee is found unsuitable or unqualified by any Gaming
Authority.

       If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers.

       If any Gaming Authority requires the Trustee to be approved, licensed or
qualified and the Trustee fails or declines to do so, such approval, license or
qualification shall be obtained upon the request of, and at the expense of, the
Company, unless the Trustee declines to do so in its sole discretion, in which
case the Trustee shall be replaced in accordance with this Section 7.8, or, if
the Trustee's relationship with the Company may, in the Company's discretion,
jeopardize any material Gaming License or franchise or right or approval granted
thereto, the Trustee shall resign, and, in addition, the Trustee may, at its
option, resign if the Trustee in its sole discretion determines not to be so
approved, licensed or qualified.

       If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal

                                       63
<PAGE>

amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

       If the Trustee after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder
for at least six months fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

       A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment
to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee
hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the
Issuers' obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee, and the Issuers shall pay to any such replaced or removed
Trustee all amounts owed under Section 7.7 upon such replacement or removal.

Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

       If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or
banking association, the successor corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

       There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that shall (a) be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (b) be subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state or the District of Columbia authority, and (c)
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its
most recent published annual report of condition.

       This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of TIA ss.ss. 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
ss. 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operations
of TIA ss. 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities,
or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuers
are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA ss.
310(b)(1) are met.

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers.

       The Trustee is subject to TIA ss. 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA ss. 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. The
provisions of TIA ss. 311 shall apply to the Issuers, as obligors on the Notes.

Section 8.1 Discharge; Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

       This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that the
Issuers' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under Section 7.7 and the
Trustee's and the Paying Agent's obligations under Sections 8.6 and 8.7 shall
survive) when all outstanding Notes theretofore authenticated and issued have
been delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been
replaced or paid) to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuers or the
Subsidiary Guarantors have paid all sums payable hereunder. In addition, the
Issuers may elect at any time to have Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, at the
Issuers' option, of this Indenture applied to all outstanding Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.2 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

       Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.2, except as set forth below, the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their
respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance").
Following such Legal Defeasance, (a) the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire indebtedness outstanding hereunder, and this Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes and Subsidiary
Guarantees, and (b) the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to
have satisfied all other of their respective obligations under the Notes, the
Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at
the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder:

              (i) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on
such Notes when such payments are due from the trust described in Section 8.5;

              (ii) the Issuers' obligations under Sections 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10,
4.2, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 hereof; and

              (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and the Issuers' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations in
connection therewith.

Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of
its option under Section 8.3 hereof.

Section 8.3 Covenant Defeasance.

       Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall

Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17,
4.18, 4.19 and Article 5 hereof on and after the date the conditions set forth

thereafter be

                                       65
<PAGE>

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 shall continue to be deemed "outstanding"
for all other purposes hereunder. Following such Covenant Defeasance, (a)
neither the Issuers nor any Subsidiary Guarantor need comply with, and none of
them shall have any 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, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantee shall be unaffected thereby, and (b) Sections 6.1(3)
through 6.1(10) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default with respect to
the Notes.

Section 8.4 Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

deposited 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 on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the
applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers shall specify
whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption
date;

              (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Issuers
have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service
a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, 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 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;

              (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the

resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

              (v) 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 Issuers or any
of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the
Subsidiaries is bound;

                                       66
<PAGE>

              (vi) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

              (vii) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

assumptions and bankruptcy and insolvency exceptions, that all conditions
precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.5 Deposited Cash and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust;
            Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

       Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all cash and U.S. Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the "Paying Agent")
pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held
in trust and applied by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the provisions of
such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
other 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, if any,

the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

Section 8.6 Repayment to the Issuers.

       (a) The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver or pay to the Issuers
from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any cash or U.S. Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 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 8.4(i) 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.

       (b) Any cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or

before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the
Issuers cause to be published once, in the New York Times

                                       67

Section 8.7 Reinstatement.

       If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case

governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, or if any event occurs at any time in the period ending on the 91st
day after the date of deposit pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof which event
would constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.1 (12) or (13) had Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, not occurred, then the
Issuers' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as
the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on
any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

              (5) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to
       effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

<PAGE>

              (7) to comply with the requirements of the Trustee and the
       Depositary (including its nominees) with respect to transfers of
       beneficial interests in the Notes.

       Upon the request of the Issuers, accompanied by a resolution of the Board
of Directors of each of the Issuers authorizing the execution of any such
supplemental indenture or amendment, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the
documents described in Section 9.6 hereof required or requested by the Trustee,
the Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of any supplemental
indenture or amendment authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture

supplemental indenture or amendment that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders.

       (a) Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, the Issuers and the Trustee,
as applicable, may amend, or waive any provision of, this Indenture or the

Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

       (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture or amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

       (d) After a supplemental indenture or amendment under this Section 9.2
becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of each Note affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment or waiver. Any failure of the
Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture, amendment
or waiver.

              (i) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, without the
consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.2
may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

respectively, has occurred;

              (iv) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest
on any Note;

              (v) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of

amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration);

              (vi) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the

Trustee may not amend or supplement the Security Documents, or waive or modify
the rights of the Holders thereunder or the provisions of this Indenture
relating thereto.

Section 9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

       If, at the time of an amendment to this Indenture or the Notes, this
Indenture shall be qualified under the TIA, every amendment to this Indenture or
the Notes shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

       Until a supplemental indenture, an amendment or waiver becomes effective,
a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder 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. A supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

       The Issuers may fix a record date for determining which Holders must
consent to such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver. If the Issuers fix
a record date, the record

                                       70
<PAGE>

date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation
of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the
Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.5, or (ii) such other
date as the Issuers shall designate.

Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

       The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about a supplemental
indenture, amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers
in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes
that reflect the amendment or waiver.

       Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not
affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

       The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the
Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such
amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and,
subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment
or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and
applicable gaming laws, that it is not inconsistent herewith and therewith, and
that it shall be valid and binding upon the Issuers in accordance with its
terms. The Issuers may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the
Board of Directors of each of the Issuers approves it.

by Section 10.5 hereof. Upon compliance with the above provisions, the Trustee
shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of
termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral
permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents.

       (b) The release of any Collateral from the terms of the Security

       The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, prior to each proposed release
of Collateral, all documents required by TIA ss. 314(d). The Trustee may, to the

Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (a)
enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and (b) collect and receive
any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Issuers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the Notes, the Security Documents and
the Registration Rights Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Trustee shall have the power to institute and to maintain such
suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the
Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security
Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may
deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the
Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or
proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or
other

       For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which

Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees (such
guarantees, together with further guarantees granted from time to time pursuant
to Section 10.13, being the "Subsidiary Guarantee") to each Holder and the
Trustee irrespective of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the

       Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that (i) its obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or
thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any releases of
Collateral, any amendment of this Indenture, the Notes or Security Documents,
any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon
Collateral, the recovery of any judgment against either of the Issuers or any of
the Subsidiaries, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor and (ii) this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by

                                       74

including, without limitation, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of a Holder against the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries or any Collateral
that a Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy
or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any
payment made hereunder or otherwise, and including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries, directly
or indirectly, in cash or other property, by setoff or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

       If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary of the
Issuers or any other obligor under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security
Documents, trustee, liquidator, or other similar official, any amount paid by
the Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary of the Issuers or
any other obligor under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents to
the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

       Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between the Subsidiary
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(i) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Section 6.2 for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration as to the Issuers of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in
the event of any declaration of acceleration of those Obligations as provided in
Section 6.2, those Obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith
become due and payable by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of
this Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 10.9 Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.

       To evidence the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.8, the
Issuers and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that (a) a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee substantially as set forth on Exhibit C hereto shall be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, (b) such

Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating
Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or any Vice President and (c) a counterpart
signature page to this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of each Subsidiary
Guarantor by its Chairman of the

                                       75
<PAGE>

Board, President or one of its Vice Presidents and attested to by another
officer acknowledging such Subsidiary Guarantor's agreement to be bound by the
provisions hereof and thereof.

       Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set
forth in Section 10.8 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

       If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Notes on which a Subsidiary
Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall nevertheless be valid.

       The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth
in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 10.10 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor's Liability.

       Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under
its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary
Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee, result in the Obligations
of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law or
render a Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent.

Section 10.11 Rights under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

       (a) No payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions
hereof shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any payment out of any
Collateral or give rise to any claim of the Subsidiary Guarantors against the
Trustee or any Holder.

       (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of the issuance, sale and
purchase of the Notes and notice from the Trustee or the Holders from time to
time of any of the Notes of their acceptance and reliance on this Subsidiary
Guarantee.

or any defense of any kind or nature (other than performance by the Subsidiary
Guarantors of their obligations hereunder) that any Subsidiary Guarantor may
have or assert against the Trustee or any Holder shall be available hereunder to
such Subsidiary Guarantor.

       (d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay all costs, expenses and fees,
including all reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by the Trustee in
enforcing or

                                       76
<PAGE>

attempting to enforce the Subsidiary Guarantee or protecting the rights of the
Trustee or the Holder, if any, in accordance with this Indenture.

Section 10.12 Primary Obligations.

       The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall constitute a
guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that
it is directly liable to each Holder hereunder, that the Obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the Issuers
or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought
against each Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such action is brought against the
Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or whether the Issuers or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor is joined in such action. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees
that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon
the exercise or enforcement by the Trustee or the Holders of whatever remedies
they may have against the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or the
enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Trustee may at any time
possess. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any release that may be given by
the Trustee or the Holders to the Issuers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor
shall not release such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 10.13 Guarantee by Subsidiary.

       The Company shall cause (i) each Restricted Subsidiary that is formed or
acquired after the date hereof and (ii) each Subsidiary that becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary after the date hereof, in each case concurrently
therewith, to (i) become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and execute and
deliver to the Trustee a Subsidiary Guarantee in the form of Exhibit C attached
hereto and a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Issuers' Obligations as set forth in Section 10.8 of this
Indenture; and (ii) execute a Security Agreement (substantially in the form of
the Security Agreement entered into on the Issue Date) and other Security
Documents necessary or reasonably requested by the Trustee to grant the Trustee
a valid, enforceable, perfected Lien on the Collateral described therein,
subject only to Liens permitted under Section 4.12; and (iii) cause such
Restricted Subsidiary to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, that (i) such Security Agreement,
supplemental indenture and Subsidiary Guarantee have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) such Security
Agreement, this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantee constitute a legal,
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, subject
to customary assumptions and exceptions, including for bankruptcy, fraudulent
transfer and equitable principles.

       Each Note issued after the date of execution by any Subsidiary Guarantor
of a Subsidiary Guarantee shall be endorsed with a form of Subsidiary Guarantee

as obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the
rate and in the manner specified below.

       The Issuers shall pay, in cash, interest on the principal amount of this

next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date").

       Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which

the extent lawful, the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the
rate of 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the
Notes; the Issuers shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the same rate to the extent

even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such
Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal and interest in
money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. The Issuers may pay principal and interest
by check to a Holder's registered address.

       3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or

the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (the "TIA") (15 U.S. Code ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in
effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA and thereafter as in effect on the date the Indenture is
so qualified. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The terms of the
Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes.
Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings

       5. Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in Sections 3.7(b) and 3.8 of
the Indenture, the Notes are not redeemable at the Issuers' option prior to

option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed
as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the applicable date of
redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 30 of

       2006 and thereafter                    100.000%
</TABLE>

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time or from time to time prior to
November 30, 2004, the Issuers may redeem, at their option, up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a redemption price
of 111.653% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, through the applicable date of
redemption, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity
Offerings; provided, that (a) such redemption shall occur within 60 days of the
date of closing of such Qualified Equity Offering and (b) at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on or after the Issue Date remains
outstanding immediately after giving effect to each such redemption.

       6. Mandatory Redemption. There shall be no mandatory redemption of the
Notes (other than a Required Regulatory Redemption).

       7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. 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
Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar and the Issuers need not exchange or
register the transfer (i) of any Note or portion of a Note selected for
redemption or (ii) 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.

       8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated
as its owner for all purposes, subject to the provisions of the Indenture with
respect to the record dates for the payment of interest.

       9. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture
or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and any
existing Default or Event of Default (except certain payment defaults) may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Without the consent
of any Holders, the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents, may be
amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to
provide for assumption of the Issuers' obligations to the Holders in the case of
a merger or consolidation, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes, 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 or under the Indenture or the
Security Documents of any Holder, to release any Subsidiary Guarantee of the
Notes permitted to be released under the terms of the Indenture, to comply with
requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA, or to comply with the requirements of the
Trustee and the Depositary (including its nominees) with respect to transfers of
beneficial interests in the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
consent of not less than two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
at the time outstanding, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee
may not amend or supplement the Security Documents, or waive or modify the
rights of the Holders thereunder or the provisions of the Indenture relating
thereto.

       10. Defaults and Remedies. If an 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 by written notice to the
Issuers and the Trustee all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, except
that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes 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. The Trustee may
require security and indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Notes. 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 Issuers must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee.

       11. Trustee Dealings with Issuers. The Trustee under the Indenture, in
its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from,
and perform services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal
with the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

       12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, member, manager, officer,
employee, incorporator, stockholder or controlling person of the Issuers or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of
the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the
Security Documents or the Registration Rights Agreement 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 and the
Subsidiary Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this provision
shall be construed as a waiver or release of any claims under the Federal
securities laws.

       13. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

                                      A-6

and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts
to Minors Act).

       15. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use
CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

       16. Governing Law. This Note and the Indenture shall be construed,
interpreted and the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Sections 5-1401 and

of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2001, among the
Issuers and the parties named on the signature page thereof (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), including but not limited to the obligations of the Holders
with respect to a registration and the indemnification of the Issuers and the
Initial Purchaser (as defined therein) to the extent provided therein.](2)
