                           not effective solely under section 9-508 of the UCC)
                           in collateral in which such new debtor has or
                           acquires rights, (ii) all the outstanding capital
                           stock or other equity interests of the surviving or
                           resulting corporation, limited liability company,

                           terms of the Indenture.

         (c) Delivery and Control. Pledgor agrees that with respect to any
Pledged LLC Interests in which it currently has rights it shall comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.2(c) on or before the Closing Date and with respect
to any Pledged LLC Interests hereafter acquired by Pledgor it shall comply with
the provisions of this Section 4.2(c) immediately upon acquiring rights therein,
in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party. With respect
to any Pledged LLC Interests that is now or hereafter represented by a
certificate or that is an "instrument" it shall cause such certificate or
instrument to be delivered to Secured Party or Credit Facility Secured Party (in
accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent then in
effect), indorsed in blank by an "effective indorsement" (as defined in Section
8-107 of the UCC), regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a
"certificated security" for purposes of the UCC. In the event that at any time
after the date of this Agreement any Pledged LLC Interest is (i) dealt in or
traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms
expressly provides that it is a security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii)
is an investment company security or (iv) is held in a securities account,

the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC) of the Pledged LLC Interest. Pledgor
represents and warrants that none of the events described in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has occurred and is existing as of the date of this
Agreement. Pledgor will not contest in any manner the perfection or priority of
Secured Party's lien on any Pledged LLC Interest. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the
extent then in effect, any applicable Gaming Laws and other applicable laws
(including, without limitation, Liquor Laws) and Section 7 hereof, Secured Party
shall have the right to have all or any portion of the Pledged LLC Interests
registered in its name or the name of a nominee or agent on the books of the
Company, to the extent necessary to enforce its rights to receive distributions
with respect thereto or vote such Pledged LLC Interests; provided that no such
registration shall constitute a transfer of ownership and Pledgor shall not be
deemed to have waived its rights under Section 9-610 of the UCC to have the
Pledged LLC Interests sold in a public sale. In addition, Secured Party (subject
to and in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent
then in effect) shall have the right at any time, without notice to Pledgor, to
exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged LLC Interests
for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

         (d) Voting and Distributions.

                  (i)      So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
                           and be continuing, subject to applicable Gaming Laws:

                           (A)      Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise or
                                    refrain from exercising any and all voting
                                    and other consensual rights pertaining to
                                    the Pledged LLC Interests or any part
                                    thereof for any purpose not inconsistent
                                    with the terms of this Agreement or the
                                    Indenture; and

                           (B)      Secured Party shall promptly execute and
                                    deliver (or cause to be executed and
                                    delivered) to Pledgor all proxies, and other
                                    instruments as Pledgor may from time to time
                                    reasonably request for the purpose of
                                    enabling Pledgor to exercise the voting and
                                    other consensual rights when and to the
                                    extent which it is entitled to exercise
                                    pursuant to clause (A) above; and

                  (ii)     Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, upon the
                           occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
                           Default, subject to Section 7.5(a) and the terms of
                           the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent then in
                           effect:

                           (A)      all rights of Pledgor to exercise or refrain
                                    from exercising the voting and other
                                    consensual rights which it would otherwise
                                    be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto
                                    shall cease and all such rights shall
                                    thereupon become vested in Secured Party who
                                    shall thereupon have the sole right to
                                    exercise such voting and other consensual
                                    rights; and

                           (B)      in order to permit Secured Party to exercise
                                    the voting and other consensual rights which
                                    it may be entitled to

                                       9
<PAGE>

                                    exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all
                                    dividends and other distributions which it
                                    may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1)
                                    Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver
                                    (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
                                    Secured Party all proxies, dividend payment
                                    orders and other instruments as Secured
                                    Party may from time to time reasonably
                                    request and (2) Pledgor acknowledges that
                                    Secured Party may utilize the power of
                                    attorney set forth in Section 6.

5.       FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, it
shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order
to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect
any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable
Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Pledgor shall:

                  (i)      execute and file such financing or continuation
                           statements, or amendments thereto, and execute and
                           deliver such other agreements, instruments,
                           endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may
                           be necessary or desirable, in order to perfect and
                           preserve the security interests granted or purported
                           to be granted hereby; and

                  (ii)     appear in and defend any action or proceeding that
                           may affect Pledgor's title to or Secured Party's
                           security interest in all or any part of the
                           Collateral.

         (b) Pledgor, upon its written direction and with forms provided by it
to Secured Party, hereby authorizes Secured Party to file a Record or Records,
including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and
amendments thereto, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as are
reasonably necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to
Secured Party herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in
the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description
of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as is necessary,
advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to Secured Party herein. Pledgor shall furnish to Secured
Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and
describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the
Collateral all in reasonable detail.

6.       ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

         6.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured
Party (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as Pledgor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in
the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or the Credit Facility Secured Party, from
time to time in its discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument
that it may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (to the
extent then in effect), including, without limitation, the following:

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Collateral;

         (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above, subject in all
respects to the rights of any lender under the Credit Facility to receive,
endorse and collect the same;

         (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise
to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

         (d) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against Pledgor as
debtor;

         (e) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or
comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the
Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same, any such payments made by Secured Party to become
obligations of Pledgor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without
demand; and

         (f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to
or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
Secured Party's option and Pledgor's expense, at any time or from time to time,
all acts and things necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might do.

         6.2 NO DUTY ON THE PART OF SECURED PARTY. The powers conferred on
Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the interests of Secured Party in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any
such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor
any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

7.       REMEDIES.

         7.1 GENERALLY.

         (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and
subject to applicable Gaming Laws, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of
Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the
affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then
owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the
following

                                       11
<PAGE>

separately, successively or simultaneously: without notice except as specified
below or under the UCC, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of
Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other
terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable.

         (b) Secured Party may be a purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at
any public or private (to the extent permitted by applicable law, including any
applicable Gaming Law) sale in accordance with the UCC and Secured Party, as
Secured Party for and representative of the Holders, shall be entitled, for the
purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance
with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on
account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at
such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor
hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of
redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least ten (10) days notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale
or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale
of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time
and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Pledgor agrees that it would
not be commercially unreasonable for Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral
or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of
assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Pledgor
hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact
that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale
was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if
Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Collateral to more than one offeree. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any
of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to
Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of
such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in
this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has
occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior
to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the
rights of Secured Party hereunder.

         (c) Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties
as to the Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any
warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to
adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

         (d) If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Secured
Obligations will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser
and received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser.
In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may
resell the Collateral, subject to applicable Gaming Laws.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         (e) All amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments)
received by Pledgor in respect of amounts due to Pledgor in respect of the
Collateral or any portion thereof following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall be forthwith paid over or delivered (subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement to the extent then in effect) to Secured Party in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 7.4 following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.

         7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in
this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale,
any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
shall be applied in full or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured
Obligations in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all
costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all
other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured Party hereunder for
the account of the applicable Pledgor, and to the payment of all costs and
expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, all in accordance with the
terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds,
to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the
Holders; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment
to or upon the order of Pledgor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

         7.3 PLEDGED LLC INTERESTS. Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all
or any part of the Pledged LLC Interests conducted without prior registration or
qualification of such Pledged LLC Interests under the Securities Act and/or such
state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire the Pledged LLC Interests for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, and to
comply with applicable Gaming Laws. Pledgor acknowledges that any such sale may
be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale
without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act) and Pledgor agrees that any
such sale shall not be deemed to have not been made in a commercially reasonable
manner by reason of such circumstances and that Secured Party shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Pledged LLC Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer
thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under
the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party determines to
exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged LLC Interests, upon written
request, Pledgor shall and shall cause Company from time to time to furnish to
Secured Party all such information as necessary to determine the number and
nature of interests, shares or other instruments included in the Pledged LLC
Interests which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

         7.4 CASH PROCEEDS. Cash Proceeds shall be held by Pledgor in trust for
Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon
receipt by Pledgor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.2, be turned
over to Secured Party in the exact

                                       13
<PAGE>

form received by Pledgor (duly indorsed by Pledgor to Secured Party, if
required). Any Cash Proceeds received by Secured Party (whether from Pledgor or
otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
shall be held by Secured Party for the ratable benefit of the Holders, as
collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured)
and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in
the sole discretion of Secured Party, (A) be held by Secured Party for the
ratable benefit of the Holders, as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time
thereafter may be applied by Secured Party against the Secured Obligations then
due and owing.

         7.5 REGULATORY MATTERS. Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that:

         (a) In the event that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Secured Party exercises any of the voting and consensual
rights afforded under this Agreement, or one or more of the remedies set forth
in Section 7 of this Agreement, including but not limited to foreclosure,
transfer or other enforcement of security interests in the Pledged LLC
Interests, pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws, such exercise of remedies shall
require the separate and prior approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities
and/or licensing of Secured Party (unless such licensing requirement is waived
by such Gaming Authorities upon application of Secured Party) pursuant to
applicable Gaming Laws.

         (b) The approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities of this Agreement
shall not act or be construed as the approval, either express or implied, for
Secured Party to take any actions or steps provided for in this Agreement for
which prior approval of such Gaming Authority is required, without first
obtaining such prior and separate approval of the Gaming Authorities to the
extent then required by applicable law.

8.       CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF NOTES.

         This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, be binding upon Pledgor, its successors and assigns
(except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indenture), and inure, together
with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of
Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Indenture, any
Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any Note held by it to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to Holders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate
hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral granted hereunder shall
revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination Secured Party shall, at Pledgor's
expense and upon documents provided by it, execute and deliver to Pledgor such
documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

9.       STANDARD OF CARE; SECURED PARTY MAY PERFORM.

         The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect
its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received
by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to
the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to
have exercised

                                       14
<PAGE>

reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession
if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
Secured Party accords its own property. Neither Secured Party nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise. If Pledgor fails to perform
any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 11.2 hereof.

10.      INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.

         (a) Pledgor agrees:

                  (i)      to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of
                           counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless each
                           Indemnitee, from and against any and all claims,
                           losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal
                           fees and expenses) and liabilities in any way
                           relating to, growing out of or resulting from this
                           Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
                           (including without limitation enforcement of this
                           Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses
                           or liabilities result from such Indemnitee's own
                           gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally and
                           unappeallably determined by a court of competent
                           jurisdiction; and

                  (ii)     to pay to Secured Party promptly following written
                           demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses,
                           including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
                           counsel and of any experts and agents in accordance
                           with the terms and conditions of the Indenture.

         (b) The obligations of Pledgor in this Section 10 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Pledgor's other obligations
under this Agreement.

independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted

Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or
under any other Indenture Document shall impair such power, right or privilege

otherwise available. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in
