usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall
be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

         The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However,

Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions
given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

         (c) EUROCLEAR AND CLEARSTREAM PROCEDURES APPLICABLE. The provisions of

on the Notes shall be by manual or facsimile signature in the name and on behalf
of the Company.

<Page>
                                      -21-

         If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office
at the time the Trustee or authenticating agent authenticates the Note, the Note
shall be valid nevertheless.

         A Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent
manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this
Indenture.

         The Trustee or an authenticating agent shall, upon receipt of a Company
Order, authenticate Initial Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal
amount of $175,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes

authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("REGISTRAR") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("PAYING AGENT"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company 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 Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If the Company fails 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.

         The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to
the Global Notes.

Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the
Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.
If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, 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 proceedings relating to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.05.         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

not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the

by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by

Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or
(ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a
written notice to such effect to the Trustee. Upon the occurrence of either of
the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in
such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may
be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and
2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu
of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or

of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another
Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in

                                      -23-

Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below,
as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as
applicable:

                   (i) TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE SAME GLOBAL NOTE.
         Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred
         to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
         interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the
         transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend;
         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted
         Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global
         Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of
         a U.S. Person (other than an initial purchaser or underwriter, as the
         case may be). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may
         be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a
         beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders
         or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to
         effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i).

                  (ii) ALL OTHER TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS
         IN GLOBAL NOTES. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of
         beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above,
         the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the
         Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be
         credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount
         equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2)
         instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
         containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited
         with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a

         name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or
         exchange referred to in (1) above. Upon consummation of an Exchange
         Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 2.06(f) hereof, the
         requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been
         satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained
         in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial
         interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of
         the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in
         Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise
         applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the
         principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section
         2.06(h) hereof.

                 (iii) TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS TO ANOTHER RESTRICTED
         GLOBAL NOTE. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
         transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
         beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer
         complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and the
         Registrar receives the following:

<Page>
                                      -24-

                           (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form

                  hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof;

                           (B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form

                  the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of
                  EXHIBIT B hereto, including the certifications in item (2)

         RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTE FOR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE UNRESTRICTED
         GLOBAL NOTE. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
         exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
         Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of
         Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and:

                           (A) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to
                  the Exchange Offer in accordance with any Registration Rights
                  Agreement and the holder of the beneficial interest to be

                  a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the
                  Company;

                           (B) such transfer is effected pursuant to the Shelf
                  Registration Statement in accordance with any Registration
                  Rights Agreement;

                           (C) such transfer is effected by a Broker-Dealer
                  pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in
                  accordance with any Registration Rights Agreement; or

                           (D) the Registrar receives the following:

                                    (1) if the holder of such beneficial
                           interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
                           exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial
                           interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a
                           certificate from such holder in the form of EXHIBIT C
                           hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a)
                           thereof; or

                                    (2) if the holder of such beneficial
                           interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
                           transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who
                           shall take delivery thereof in the form of a
                           beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a

                                      -25-

                  and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if
                  the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so
                  require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable
                  to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer
                  is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the
                  restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private
                  Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain
                  compliance with the Securities Act.

         If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (B) or (D)
above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the
Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance
with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more

for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

         (c) TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS FOR DEFINITIVE NOTES.

                   (i) BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES TO
         RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. If any holder of a beneficial interest in
         a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest
         for a Restricted Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial
         interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
         Restricted Definitive Note, then, upon receipt by the Registrar of the
         following documentation:

                           (A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a
                  Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial
                  interest for a Restricted Definitive Note, a certificate from
                  such holder in the form of EXHIBIT C hereto, including the

                  accordance with any Registration Rights Agreement; or

                           (D) the Registrar receives the following:

                                    (1) if the Holder of such Restricted
                           Definitive Notes proposes to exchange such Notes for
                           an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a certificate from
                           such Holder in the form of EXHIBIT C hereto,
                           including the certifications in item (1)(d) thereof;
                           or

                                    (2) if the Holder of such Restricted
                           Definitive Notes proposes to transfer such Notes to a
                           Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of
                           an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a certificate from
                           such Holder in the form of EXHIBIT B hereto,
                           including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

                  and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if
                  the Registrar so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form
                  reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such
                  exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act
                  and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in
                  the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order
                  to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

                 (iii) UNRESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES TO UNRESTRICTED DEFINITIVE
         NOTES. A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such
         Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an
         Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon receipt of a request to register
         such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted
         Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

         (f) EXCHANGE OFFER. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the
Trustee shall authenticate (i) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interests in the Restricted Global Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons that
certify in the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (x) they are not
broker-dealers, (y) they are not participating in a distribution of the Exchange
Notes and (z) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company,
and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted
Definitive Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with
the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal
amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly, and
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Definitive
Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

         (g) LEGENDS. The following legends shall appear on the face of all
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless

                  (ii) GLOBAL NOTE LEGEND. Each Global Note shall bear a legend
         in substantially the following form:

                  "THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE
                  INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR
                  THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT
                  TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT
                  (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE
                  REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07 OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS
                  GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT
                  TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE

                  CONSENT OF PENN NATIONAL GAMING, INC."

         (h) CANCELLATION AND/OR ADJUSTMENT OF GLOBAL NOTES. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for
Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or
canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note
is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive
Notes, the 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 or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred
to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly
and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

         (i) GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

                   (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
         Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes
         and Definitive Notes upon the Company's order or at the Registrar's
         request.

                                      -34-

                  (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
         beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
         Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company 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 or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14
         and 9.05 hereof).

                  (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the
         transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in
         part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

                  (iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any
         registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
         Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the
         same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as
         the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration
         of transfer or exchange.

                  (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to
         register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period
         beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any
         selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending
         at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the
         transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole
         or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in
         part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
         record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

                  (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a
         transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem
         and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the
         absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
         principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and
         none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by
         notice to the contrary.

                  (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
         Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
         hereof.

                  (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of
         Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
         Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be
         submitted by facsimile.

SECTION 2.07.         REPLACEMENT NOTES.

         If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's
requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity
bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee and the Company to protect

<Page>
                                      -35-

the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss
that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for
its expenses in replacing a Note.

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

SECTION 2.08.         OUTSTANDING NOTES.

         The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.07(b) hereof.

         If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

         If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such
Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.

SECTION 2.09.         TREASURY NOTES.

         In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as
though not outstanding, except that for the 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 knows are so owned shall be
so disregarded.

SECTION 2.10.         TEMPORARY NOTES.

         Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in
the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

<Page>
                                      -36-

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

SECTION 2.11.         CANCELLATION.

         The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent 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 destroy
canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be delivered
to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has
paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12.         DEFAULTED INTEREST.

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

SECTION 2.13.         ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES.

         The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this
Indenture that shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with
respect to the date of issuance, issue price, and amount of interest payable on
the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (and, if such Additional
Notes shall be issued in the form of Restricted Notes, other than with respect
to transfer restrictions, a Registration Rights Agreement and Liquidated Damages
with respect thereto); PROVIDED that such issuance is not prohibited by Section
4.09. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single
class for all purposes under this Indenture.

         With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in or
pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors and in a Company Order, a
copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following
information:

                  (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to
         be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

                  (2) the issue price, the issue date, the CUSIP number of such
         Additional Notes, the first Interest Payment Date and the amount of
         interest payable on such first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto
         and the date from which interest shall accrue; PROVIDED, HOW-

<Page>
                                      -37-

         EVER, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would
         cause such Additional Notes to have "original issue discount" within
         the meaning of Section 1273 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
         amended; and

                  (3) whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes or
         shall be Unrestricted Notes.

SECTION 2.14.         DESIGNATION.

         Any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture will rank PARI PASSU
in right of payment with the Initial Notes.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

SECTION 3.01.         NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.

         If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an
Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal

SECTION 3.02.         SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

         If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an
offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed
or purchased among the Holders of the Notes 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 in
accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In
the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed
shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding
Notes not previously called for redemption.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company 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;
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of
$1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause
to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice
is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture.

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

         cancellation of the original Note;

                  (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

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

                  (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such
         redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
         accrue on and after the redemption date;

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

                  (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
         accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed
         on the Notes.

         At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date, 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 3.04.         EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03

SECTION 3.05.         DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

         One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money 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 promptly return to the Company any
money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of
the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on,
all Notes to be redeemed.

         If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or
the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after
an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date,
then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any
Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption
because of the failure of the Company 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 and in
Section 4.01 hereof.

SECTION 3.06.         NOTES REDEEMED IN PART.

         Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall

for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal
amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.07.         OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         (a) At any time prior to March 15, 2005, the Company may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
originally issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 108.875% of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; PROVIDED that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence
of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries);
and the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such
Equity Offering.

         (b) Except as described in clause (a) of this Section 3.07, the Notes
shall not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to March 1, 2005. On and
after March 15, 2006, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed
as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed

         In addition to the foregoing, if any Gaming Authority requires that a
holder or beneficial owner of Notes must be licensed, qualified or found
suitable under any applicable Gaming Laws and such holder or beneficial owner
(i) fails to apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability
within 30 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the applicable
Gaming Authority) after being requested to do so by the Gaming Authority, or
(ii) is denied such license or qualification or not found suitable, the Company
shall have the right, at its option (i) to require any such holder or beneficial
owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such earlier date as may be
required by the applicable Gaming Authority) of receipt of such notice or
finding by such Gaming Authority, or (ii) to call for the redemption of the
Notes of such holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the
least of (A) the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the
earlier of the date of redemption or the date of the denial of license or
qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, (B)
the price at which such holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes, together
with accrued interest to the earlier of the date of redemption or the date of
the denial of license or qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by
such Gaming Authority, or (C) such other lesser amount as may be required by any
Gaming Authority.

         The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such redemption
as soon as practicable. The holder or beneficial owner applying for license,
qualification or a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the licensure or
investigation for such qualification or finding of suitability.

         (c) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

SECTION 3.08.         MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

         The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 3.09.         OFFER TO PURCHASE BY APPLICATION OF EXCESS PROCEEDS.

         In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall
be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an "ASSET
SALE OFFER"), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

         The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a
longer period is required by applicable law (the "OFFER PERIOD"). No later
than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the
"PURCHASE DATE"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes
required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the "OFFER AMOUNT")
or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in
response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be
made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

<Page>
                                      -41-

         If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or
before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall
be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send,
by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a
copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which
shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

                  (a) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this
         Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset
         Sale Offer shall remain open;

                  (b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase
         Date;

                  (c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall
         continue to accrete or accrue interest;

                  (d) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment,
         any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall
         cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

                  (e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to
         an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral
         multiples of $1,000 only;

                  (f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to
         any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the
         form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of
         the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company,
         a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the
         address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase
         Date;

                  (g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election
         if the Company, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
         receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a
         telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the
         name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder
         delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing
         his election to have such Note purchased;

                  (h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
         surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall
         select the Notes to be purchased on a PRO RATA basis (with such
         adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only
         Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall
         be purchased); and

<Page>
                                      -42-

                  (i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall
         be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
         portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry
         transfer).

         On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment, on a PRO RATA basis to the extent necessary, the
Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered,
and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance
with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five
days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount
equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by
the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and
the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail
or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be
promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company
shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase
Date.

         Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company 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.

days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate stating that a
review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing

         amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its

         any) and (B) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment, PLUS
         (iv) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company is
         redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.18

         The preceding provisions will not prohibit (i) the payment of any
dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after

repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any

                                      -47-

Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held
by any member of the Company's (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries')

         The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the
fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
covenant shall be determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with
respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Directors'
determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $5 million. Not later than 30 days after the date of
making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and
setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section
4.07 were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal

SECTION 4.08. DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING SUBSIDIARIES.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted

Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to

restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) agreements governing Existing
Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the date of this Indenture
and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, restructurings, replacements or refinancings of those
agreements; PROVIDED that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals,
increases, supplements, refundings, restructurings, replacements or refinancings
are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and
other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date
of this Indenture; (ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;
(iii) applicable law or requirements of any Gaming Authority; (iv) any
instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the

acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was
incurred in connection with

<Page>
                                      -48-

or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is
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; PROVIDED
that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms
of this Indenture to be incurred; (v) customary non-assignment provisions in any
purchase money financing contracts or leases entered into in the ordinary course
of business and consistent with past practices; (vi) purchase money obligations
for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose
restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (iii) of the
preceding paragraph; (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a
Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary
pending its sale or other disposition; (viii) Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness; PROVIDED that the restrictions contained in the agreements
governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken
as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness
being refinanced; (ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be
incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the
debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; (x) provisions with
respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint
venture agreements, assets sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other
similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; (xi)
restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under

Senior Credit Facilities; (xiii) Indebtedness and related Guarantees by the
Guarantors that ranks PARI PASSU with the Notes and the guarantees of the Notes
by the Guarantors; PROVIDED that the restrictions contained in the agreements
governing such indebtedness and related Guarantees are no more restrictive,
taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture; and (xiv) Indebtedness
incurred, or preferred stock issued, by Foreign Subsidiaries; PROVIDED that the
restrictions contained in the agreements or instruments governing such
Indebtedness or preferred stock: (A) apply only in the event of a payment
default or a default with respect to a financial covenant contained in the terms
of such Indebtedness or preferred stock or shall not materially affect the
Company's ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall
be conclusive; and (B) are not materially more disadvantageous to holders of the
Notes than is customary in comparable financings as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive.

SECTION 4.09. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to
(collectively, "INCUR") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the
Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified
Stock, and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock, if
the Fixed Charge 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 Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least
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

<Page>
                                      -49-

preferred stock or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at
the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         The first paragraph of this covenant shall not prohibit the incurrence
of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "PERMITTED DEBT"):

                   (i) the incurrence by the Company and/or any of the
         Guarantors of Indebtedness and letters of credit pursuant to the Credit
         Facilities; PROVIDED that the aggregate principal amount of all
         Indebtedness then classified as having been incurred in reliance upon
         this clause (i) that remains outstanding under Credit Facilities after
         giving effect to such incurrence does not exceed $350 million less the
         aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales that have been
         applied by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the
         date of this Indenture to repay any Indebtedness under a Credit
         Facility (and to reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of
         any such Indebtedness that is revolving credit Indebtedness) pursuant
         to Section 4.10 hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the maximum amount
         permitted to be outstanding under this clause (i) shall not be deemed
         to limit additional Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities to the
         extent the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness is permitted
         pursuant to any of the other provisions under this Section 4.09;

                  (ii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

                  (iii) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of
         Indebtedness represented by the Initial Notes in the aggregate
         principal amount of $175,000,000 issued on the Issue Date and the
         related Subsidiary Guarantees;

                  (iv) the incurrence by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
         Indebtedness represented by Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capital
         Lease Obligations incurred in connection with the purchase or capital
         lease of video gaming machines, slot machines or other gaming equipment
         in an aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as applicable,
         including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund,
         refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause
         (iv), not to exceed $20 million at any time outstanding;

                  (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or
         the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace
         Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under
         the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clause (ii), (iii), (iv),
         or (xii) of this paragraph;

                  (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company
         and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; PROVIDED, however, that: (A) if
         the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such
         Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in
         full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case
         of the Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in the case of a
         Guarantor; and (B) (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
         Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person
         other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and
         (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person
         that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
         Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of
         such Indebtedness by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may
         be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);

<Page>
                                      -50-

                 (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose
         of fixing or hedging interest rate risk or currency exchange risk with
         respect to any floating rate Indebtedness or non-U.S.
         dollar-denominated Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this
         Indenture to be outstanding;

                (viii) the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
         Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
         that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section
         4.09;

                  (ix) the incurrence by the Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries
         of Non-Recourse Debt; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any such Indebtedness
         ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such
         event shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a
         Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was not permitted by this
         clause (ix);

                   (x) Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with
         respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business,
         including without limitation to letters of credit in respect to
         workers' compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness
         with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers'
         compensation claims; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the drawing of such
         letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such
         obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or
         incurrence;

                  (xi) obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds
         and completion guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

                 (xii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or
         other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument
         inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against
         insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two business
         days of incurrence;

                (xiii) incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries (in addition to Existing Indebtedness)
         consisting of Guarantees of Indebtedness of Pennwood in an aggregate
         principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $20 million;

<Page>
                                      -51-

                 (xiv) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal
         amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding,
         including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund,
         refinance or replace any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
         clause (xiv), not to exceed $20 million; and

                  (xv) the borrowing from time to time by the Company or any
         Guarantor of up to $30 million under that certain Loan Agreement dated
         February 20, 2001 between Mississippi Business Finance Corporation and
         BSL, Inc. where such loan is pledged by Mississippi Business Finance
         Corporation to secure the Mississippi Revenue Bonds held by the Company
         or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the net proceeds of the loan
         are used for the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping
         of a hotel and related facilities adjacent to the Casino Magic Bay St.
         Louis casino and to pay customary costs and expenses associated with
         the issuance of the Mississippi Revenue Bonds and the construction of
         such hotel.

         For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one
of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xv) above
or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
4.09, the Company shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on
the date of its incurrence in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.
In addition, the Company may, at any time, change the classification of an item
of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) to any other clause or to the first
paragraph of this covenant provided that the Company would be permitted to incur
such item of Indebtedness (or portion thereof) pursuant to such other clause or
the first paragraph of this Section 4.09, as the case may be, at such time of
reclassification. Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities outstanding on
the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture
shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception
provided by clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Debt.

SECTION 4.10.         ASSET SALES.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to: (1) sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or
rights; PROVIDED that the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.14 and/or Section 5.01
hereof and not by the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; or (2) issue Equity
Interests in any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries or permit the sale of
Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries (each of the foregoing, an "ASSET
SALE"), unless: (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the
fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise
disposed of; (ii) the fair market value is determined by the Company's Board of
Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and (iii) at least 75% of the
consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this
provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (A) any
liabilities, as shown on the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most
recent balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their

<Page>
                                      -52-

terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by
the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement
that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;
and (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or
any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously,
subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash
or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion. Notwithstanding the preceding,
the following items shall not be deemed to be Asset Sales: (1) any single
transaction or series of related transactions that involves assets having a fair
market value of less than $2 million; (2) a transfer of assets between or among
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; (3) an issuance of Equity Interests
by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;
(4) the sale or lease of equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other
assets in the ordinary course of business; (5) the sale or other disposition of
cash or Cash Equivalents; and (6) a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment
that is permitted by Section 4.07 hereof

         (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Company may apply those Net Proceeds at its option: (i) to repay
Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to
correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; (ii) to acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of,
another Permitted Business; (iii) to make capital expenditures; or (iv) to
acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

         Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

         (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested
as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS." When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million, the Company shall
make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of
Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100%
of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use
those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness to be purchased on a PRO RATA basis. Upon completion of each Asset
Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary shall be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying
with the foregoing provisions if: (i) the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
equal to the fair market value of the assets or other property sold, issued
or otherwise disposed of (as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of the
Company) as set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee,
(ii) the transaction constitutes a "like-kind exchange" of the type
contemplated by Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) the
consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes assets that the Board of
Directors in its good faith judgment at the time of the sale determines shall
be used or useful in a Permitted Business; PROVIDED that any non-cash
consideration not constituting assets that the Board of Directors in its good
faith judgment at the time of the sale determines shall be used or useful in
a Permitted Business received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in
connection with such Asset Sale that is converted into or sold or otherwise
disposed of for cash or Cash Equivalents at any time within 360 days after
such Asset Sale and any cash or Cash Equivalents received by the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale shall constitute Net
Proceeds subject to the provisions set forth above.

SECTION 4.11.         TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or
assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit
of, any Affiliate (each, an "AFFILIATE TRANSACTION"), unless: (i) the Affiliate
Transaction is 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 by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person; and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee: (A) with respect
to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2 million, a resolution of the
Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such
Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate
Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the
Board of Directors; and (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series
of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$5 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate
Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing.

         (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section
4.11(a): (i) any employment agreements or arrangements and benefit plans or
arrangements, and any transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing relating
to the compensation and employee benefits matters, in each case in respect of
employees, officers or directors entered into by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
the past practice of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; (ii)
transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(iii) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely
because the Company owns an Equity Interest in such Person; (iv) payment of
reasonable directors fees and indemnity provided on behalf of officers,
directors or employees of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (v)
sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the
Company; (vi) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07 hereof.

SECTION 4.12.         LIENS.

         The Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness or trade payables
(other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or
hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes
are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until
such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

SECTION 4.13.         CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

         Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents
(as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such
Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises
of the Company and its Subsidiaries; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall
not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 4.14.         OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make
an offer (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") to each Holder to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at
a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date
of purchase, the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Subject to the last paragraph in
subsection (b) herein, within 30 days following any Change of Control, the
Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control pursuant to this Section 4.14
and stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 4.14 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the
purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 Business
Days and no later than 60 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed (the

to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults 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 after the Change of Control
Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to
a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the 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

principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a

<Page>
                                      -55-

statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes
purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
will 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. The Company shall comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities
laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes in connection with a
Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company shall
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations of this Section 4.14 by virtue of such

being purchased by the Company.

         The paying agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, if any; PROVIDED that each new note shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

         Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.14, but
in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company shall
either repay all outstanding Senior Debt in cash or Cash Equivalents or obtain
the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding
Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this covenant. The
Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or
as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

         (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the
Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.14 and Section 3.09 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

SECTION 4.15.         NO SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT.

         The Company shall not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in
right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and senior in any respect in
right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor shall incur, create, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or
junior in

<Page>
                                      -56-

right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor and senior in any respect
in right of payment to such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee.

SECTION 4.16.         PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

SECTION 4.17.         ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES.

         If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a
Guarantor acquires or creates another Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary after the
date of this Indenture that has assets with a book value in excess of $1
million, then, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, that newly acquired or created
Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a
supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section
9.06 and 13.04 hereof within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was
acquired or created (except if that Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary has been
properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this
Indenture for so long as it continues to constitute an Unrestricted Subsidiary).

SECTION 4.18.         DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

         The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other
than an owner of a Principal Property) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that
designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all
outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
the Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made as
of the time of the designation and shall constitute Restricted Investments under
the first paragraph of Section 4.07 hereof or, if eligible, Permitted
Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation shall only be
permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the
Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary
to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.

SECTION 4.19.         BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such
extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.20.         PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST.

         If Liquidated Damages in the form of additional interest is payable due
to the occurrence of a Registration Default as described in any Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to

<Page>
                                      -57-

the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (1) the amount of such
additional interest that is payable and (2) the date on which such interest is
payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee such a certificate, the Trustee may assume
without inquiry that no such interest is payable. If the Company has paid
additional interest directly to the person entitled to it, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such
payment.

                                   ARTICLE V.

         The Company shall not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge

corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions,

merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation organized or
existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or
the District of Columbia; (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made
assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes, this Indenture and
any Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee; (iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of
Default exists; (iv) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made shall, on
the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any
related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of
the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof; and (v) the Company or the
successor entity shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a
supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture
and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction

         Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
Company's or its Restricted Subsidiaries' assets, taken as a whole, in
accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the
provisions of this Indenture referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to
the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right
and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Company's or its
Restricted Subsidiaries' assets, taken as a whole, that meets the requirements
of Section 5.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01.         EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

         An "Event of Default" occurs if:

                  (a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of interest
         on, or Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes and such default
         continues for a period of 30 days whether or not prohibited by the
         subordination provisions of Article X;

                  (b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal
         of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and
         payable at maturity, upon redemption (including in connection with an
         offer to purchase) or otherwise, whether or not prohibited by the
         subordination provisions of Article X;

                  (c) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to
         comply with any of the provisions of Section 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.14 or
         5.01 hereof;

                  (d) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to
         observe or perform any other covenant, representation, warranty or
         other agreement in this Indenture or the Notes for 60 days after notice
         to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
         aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a
         single class;

                  (e) a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or
         instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be
         secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company
         or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is
         guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries)
         whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after
         the date of this Indenture, if that default: (i) is caused by a
         failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness at final maturity (a
         "PAYMENT DEFAULT"); or (ii) results in the acceleration of such
         Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the
         principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal
         amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
         Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated,
         aggregates $5 million or more;

<Page>
                                      -59-

                  (f) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of
         money are entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction
         against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group
         of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
         Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments remain undischarged for a
         period (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60
         days; PROVIDED that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments
         exceeds $5 million;

                  (g) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary
         Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall be held in any judicial
         proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason
         to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm
         its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;

                  (h) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any
         group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a
         Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy
         Law: (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) generally is not paying its debts as they become due;
         or

                  (i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
         decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the
         Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of
         Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
         Subsidiary in an involuntary case; (ii) appoints a custodian of the
         Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of
         Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
         Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the
         Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of
         Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
         Subsidiary; or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of
         its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken
         as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and the order or
         decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

SECTION 6.02.         ACCELERATION.

         If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, any
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Significant Subsidiaries that, taken as a
whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall

<Page>
                                      -60-

become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event
of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with
respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of
Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of
the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if the Trustee shall have received
an Officers' Certificate that all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment
of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the
acceleration) have been cured or waived.

         If an Event of Default occurs on or after March 15, 2006 by reason of
any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the
Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company
would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an
equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the
extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to March 15, 2006
by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on
behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on
redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the
Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be immediately due and
payable in an amount, for each of the years beginning on March 15 of the years
set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal
amount of the Notes on the date of payment that would otherwise be due but for
the provisions of this sentence):

             YEAR                                          PERCENTAGE
             ----                                          ----------
             2002   ....................................    108.875%
             2003   ....................................    107.766%
             2004   ....................................    106.657%
             2005   ....................................    105.547%

SECTION 6.03.         OTHER REMEDIES.

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue
any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

         The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

                                      -61-

SECTION 6.04.         WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

         Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest
on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration).
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 6.05.         CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

         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 of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability.

SECTION 6.06.         LIMITATION ON SUITS.

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

                  (a) the Holder of a Note 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 of a Note or Holders of Notes 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 of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights
of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder of a Note.

<Page>
                                      -62-

SECTION 6.07.         RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

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

SECTION 6.08.         COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

         If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(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 Company for the whole amount of
principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest remaining
unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
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 6.09.         TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

         The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its 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 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall
be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan
of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10.         PRIORITIES.

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

<Page>
                                      -63-

                  FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts
         due under Section 7.07 hereof, 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 of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Notes for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
         interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
         according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal,
         premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest, respectively; and

                  THIRD: to the Company 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 of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a
Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                     TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01.         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 its exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's 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
         no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
         this Indenture against the Trustee; and

<Page>
                                      -64-

                  (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. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
         opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
         of this Indenture.

         (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; and

                  (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 6.05 hereof.

         (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.

         (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the
request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee
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 Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

SECTION 7.02.         RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         (a) 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.

         (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 written 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 its attorneys and agents and shall not
be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

                                      -65-

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

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

         (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of
any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 7.03.         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 Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest 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 and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

SECTION 7.04.         TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

         The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be
accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money
paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any provision of this
Indenture, 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 7.05.         NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

         If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes 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 7.06.         REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES.

         Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following
the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the
Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes 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)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA ss. 313(c).

<Page>
                                      -66-

         A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of
Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock
exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA ss. 313(d). The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock
exchange.

SECTION 7.07.         COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

         The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
Trustee of an express trust. The Company 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.

         The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including
this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

         To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, 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 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 6.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and
counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law.

         The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA ss. 313(b)(2) to
the extent applicable.

SECTION 7.08.         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.

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

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

                  (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; or

                  (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

         If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Company 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 Company.

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or
the Holders of at least 10% in principal 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 Company. 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 Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; PROVIDED all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09.         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,
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 is a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million
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. 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
ss. 310(b).

SECTION 7.11.         PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

         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.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01.         OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

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

SECTION 8.02.         LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the
date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "LEGAL
DEFEASANCE"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for
the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive

<Page>
                                      -69-

until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or
interest or premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such
payments are due from the trust referred to below, (b) the Company's obligations
with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of
Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an
office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust, (c)
the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the
Company's and the Guarantor's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this
Article VIII. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

SECTION 8.03.         COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof and clause
(iv) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 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 (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding
for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with
respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(f) hereof shall not
constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.04.         CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

         shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
         independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest
         and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the outstanding Notes on
         the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the

<Page>
                                      -70-

         case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being

         Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming
         that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by,
         the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this
         Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax
         law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion
         of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes
         shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
         purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall 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;

                  (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the
         Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming

         gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
         Covenant Defeasance and shall 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;

                  (d) 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 incurrence of Indebtedness all or a

         insofar as Sections 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) hereof is concerned, at any time
         in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

                  (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not
         result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any
         material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which

         Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

                  (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
         Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other
         creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering,
         delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and

                  (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance

SECTION 8.05. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
              OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

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

         The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government
Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and
interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

         Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as
provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

SECTION 8.06.         REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.

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

SECTION 8.07.         REINSTATEMENT.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise

<Page>
                                      -72-

prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Company
makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE IX.

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 9.01.         WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.

         Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the
Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

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

                  (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
         place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article II
         hereof (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not
         materially adversely affect any Holder;

                  (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or a
         Guarantor's obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to
         the Company pursuant to Article V hereof;

                  (d) to comply with the rules of any applicable securities
         depositary;

                  (e) to make any change that would provide any additional
         rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
         adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Note;

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

                  (g) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture
         and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

         Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its
Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section
7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the
execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by
the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may

<Page>
                                      -73-

be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 9.02.         WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Sections 3.09, 4.10
and 4.14 hereof) and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single
class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07
hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event
of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been
rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes).

         Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its
Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the
Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by
the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall
join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture
unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case
the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into
such amended or supplemental Indenture.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof.

         After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture or waiver.

         Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting as a single
class, may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each
Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

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

<Page>
                                      -74-

                  (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of
         any note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the
         Notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described under
         Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14 hereof);

                  (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
         interest on any note;

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

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

                  (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture
         relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes
         to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or
         Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes;

                  (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any note (other
         than a payment required by one of the covenants described under
         Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof);

                  (h) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under
         its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with
         the terms of this Indenture; or

                  (i) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the
         foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

         In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, Article X of this
Indenture that adversely affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes shall
require the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes).

SECTION 9.03.         COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

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

SECTION 9.04.         REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

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

                                      -75-

SECTION 9.05.         NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

         The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver.

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

SECTION 9.06.         TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

         The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company
may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors
approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section
13.04 hereof, an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE X.

                                  Subordination

SECTION 10.01.        AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE.

         The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that
the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to
the extent and in the manner provided in this Article X, to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter
created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.

SECTION 10.02.        LIQUIDATION; DISSOLUTION; BANKRUPTCY.

         Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, in
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company's
assets and liabilities:

                   (i) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive
         payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt
         (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at
         the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt) and all outstanding
         letters of credits under Credit Facilities shall either have been
         terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the terms thereof,
         before Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to receive any

<Page>
                                      -76-

         payment on, or distribution with respect to the Notes (except that
         Holders of the Notes may receive and retain (A) Permitted Junior
         Securities and (B) payments made from any defeasance trust created
         pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof), and

                  (ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as
         provided in clause (i) above) are paid in full, any distribution to
         which Holders would be entitled but for this Article X shall be made to
         holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders of Notes may receive (A)
         Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions
         made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01
         hereof), as their interests may appear.

SECTION 10.03.        DEFAULT ON DESIGNATED SENIOR DEBT.

         (a) The Company may not make any payment on or distribution to the
Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes
(except (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions
made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof) until
all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been
paid in full if:

                   (i) a payment default of any principal or other Obligations
         with respect to Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond
         any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other
         document governing such Designated Senior Debt; or

                  (ii) any other default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is
         continuing that then permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt to
         accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the
         default (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE NOTICE") from the Credit Agent, the
         Company or any holder of any Designated Debt. If the Trustee receives
         any such Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice
         shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (A) at
         least 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the
         immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (B) all scheduled
         payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
         that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment
         default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any
         Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis
         for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have
         been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

         (b) The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in
respect of the Notes:

                  (i) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which
         such default is cured or waived; and

                  (ii) in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of
         the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179
         days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is
         received,

unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated.

<Page>
                                      -77-

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to
repurchase, redeem, repay or prepay any or all of the Notes to the extent
required to do so by any Gaming Authority, as described under Section 3.07
hereof.

SECTION 10.04.        ACCELERATION OF SECURITIES.

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

SECTION 10.05.        WHEN DISTRIBUTION MUST BE PAID OVER.

         In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any
Obligations with respect to the Notes at a time when a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such
payment is prohibited by Section 10.03 hereof, such payment shall be held by the
Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith
over and delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear
or their Representative under this Indenture or other agreement (if any)
pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with
respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such
Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

         With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set
forth in this Article X, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to
the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the
Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company
or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article X, except if such payment is made as a result
of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

SECTION 10.06.        NOTICE BY COMPANY.

         The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of
any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations
with respect to the Notes to violate this Article X, but failure to give such
notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as
provided in this Article X.

SECTION 10.07.        SUBROGATION.

         After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in
full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other
Indebtedness PARI PASSU with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt
to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the
payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article X to holders of
Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made

<Page>
                                      -78-

to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the
Company on the Notes.

SECTION 10.08.        RELATIVE RIGHTS.

         This Article X defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and
holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

                  (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the
         obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
         principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

                  (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and
         creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders
         of Senior Debt; or

                  (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from
         exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default,
         subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive
         distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

         If the Company fails because of this Article X to pay principal of or
interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of
Default.

SECTION 10.09.        SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED BY COMPANY.

         No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of
the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure
to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any
Holder to comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 10.10.        DISTRIBUTION OR NOTICE TO REPRESENTATIVE.

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

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article X, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to
rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or
upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders
of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in
such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article X.

SECTION 10.11.        RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X or any other
provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment
or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may
continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have
received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to
the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment
of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article X. Only
the Company or a Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article
X shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant
to Section 7.07 hereof.

<Page>
                                      -79-

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

SECTION 10.12.        AUTHORIZATION TO EFFECT SUBORDINATION.

         Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder's acceptance thereof, authorizes
and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this
Article X, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder's attorney-in-fact for
any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim
or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section
6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such
claim, the Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim
for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 10.13.        AMENDMENTS.

         The provisions of this Article X shall not be amended or modified
without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt.

                                   ARTICLE XI.

                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.01.        GUARANTEE.

         Subject to this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns,
irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or
the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal
of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

<Page>
                                      -80-

         The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this
Indenture.

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

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

SECTION 11.02.        SUBORDINATION OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE.

         The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee
pursuant to this Article XI shall be junior and subordinated to the Senior
Guarantee of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and
subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or
retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive
and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture,
including Article XI hereof.

SECTION 11.03.        LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY.

         Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such

<Page>
                                      -81-

maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor
that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections
from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of
any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under
this Article XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.04.        EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE.

         To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form included in EXHIBIT E shall be endorsed by an Officer
of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its
President or one of its Vice Presidents.

         Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in
Section 11.01 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 or on the Subsidiary
Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall
be valid nevertheless.

         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 Guarantors.

         In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.17 hereof,
the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to
this Indenture and Subsidiary Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.17 hereof
and this Article XI, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 11.05.        GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.06, no Guarantor may
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor
unless:

                  (a) subject to Section 11.06 hereof, the Person formed by or
         surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor
         or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such
         Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance
         reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture
         and the Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein;
         and

                  (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
         Default or Event of Default exists.

<Page>
                                      -82-

         In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon
the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the
Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named
herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed
any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in
all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

         Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.

SECTION 11.06.        RELEASES FOLLOWING SALE.

         In the event (i) of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of
any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, (ii) of a sale or
other disposition of all to the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to
a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions)
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (iii) that the Company properly
designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, then such Guarantor (in the event
of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of
all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the
property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; PROVIDED that the Net Proceeds of
such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by
the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including
without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents
reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

         Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest
on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture
as provided in this Article XI.

                           satisfaction and discharge

SECTION 12.01.        SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE.

         This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further
effect as to all Notes issued thereunder, when:

                  (1)      either:

                  (a)      all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost,
                           stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or
                           paid and Notes for whose payment money has been
                           deposited in trust and, if provided for in this
                           Indenture, thereafter repaid to the Company, have
                           been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                  (b)      all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee
                           for cancellation have become due and payable by
                           reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or
                           otherwise or shall become due and payable within one
                           year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably
                           deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
                           as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
                           Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
                           Government Securities, or a combination of cash in
                           U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities,
                           in amounts as shall be sufficient without
                           consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay
                           and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes
                           not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
                           principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any,
                           and accrued interest to the date of maturity or
                           redemption;

                  (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing on the date of the deposit or shall occur as a result of the
         deposit and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of,
         or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the
         Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any
         Guarantor is bound;

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

                  (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
         Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the
         payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case
         may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
discharge have been satisfied.

         Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of
clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06
shall survive.

SECTION 12.02.        APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto,
of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money
has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 11.01; PROVIDED that if the Company has made any payment of principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                   8 7/8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010

[INSERT THE GLOBAL NOTE LEGEND, IF APPLICABLE, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE
INDENTURE]

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

         1. INTEREST. Penn National Gaming, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
(the "COMPANY"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at 8 7/8 % per annum from February 28, 2002 until maturity and shall pay
Liquidated Damages, if any, applicable to this Note. The Company shall pay
interest and such Liquidated Damages semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the
next succeeding Business Day (each an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"). Interest on the
Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or,
if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; PROVIDED that if there
is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be September 15, 2002. The Company shall pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate
that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any (without regard
to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to
the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

         2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on March 1 and September 1 preceding the Interest
Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or
before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the
Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to
principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within The City and State of
New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses
set forth in the register of Holders, and PROVIDED that payment by wire transfer
of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of,
and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and
all other Notes the Holders of which hold at least $1,000,000 in principal
amount of the Notes and shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the
Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of
the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts.

         3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, State Street Bank and Trust
Company, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

         4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of February 28, 2002 ("INDENTURE") between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Notes include those

                                      A-2
<Page>

stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb). The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of
this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

         5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         (a) At any time prior to March 15, 2005, the Company may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
originally issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 108.875 % of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; PROVIDED that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence
of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries);
and the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such
Equity Offering.

         (b) Except as described above, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the
Company's option prior to March 15, 2006. On and after March 15, 2006, the
Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the
years indicated below:

          ----                                             ----------
<S>                                                         <C>

          2007 ............................................ 102.958%
          2008 ............................................ 101.479%
          2009 and thereafter ............................. 100.000%
</Table>

         In addition to the foregoing, if any Gaming Authority requires that a
holder or beneficial owner of Notes must be licensed, qualified or found
suitable under any applicable Gaming Laws and such holder or beneficial owner
(i) fails to apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability
within 30 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the applicable
Gaming Authority) after being requested to do so by the Gaming Authority, or
(ii) is denied such license or qualification or not found suitable, the Company
shall have the right, at its option (i) to require any such holder or beneficial
owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such earlier date as may be
required by the applicable Gaming Authority) of receipt of such notice or
finding by such Gaming Authority, or (ii) to call for the redemption of the
Notes of such holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the
least of (A) the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the earlier of the date of redemption or the date
of the denial of license or qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by
such Gaming Authority, (B) the price at which such holder or beneficial owner
acquired the Notes, together with accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the earlier of the date of redemption or the date of the denial of
license or qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming
Authority, or (C) such other lesser amount as may be required by any Gaming
Authority.

                                      A-3
<Page>

         6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

         Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be
required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

         7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

         (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to
make an offer (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase
(the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Within 30 days following any Change of
Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

         (b) If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within
five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$5 million, the Company will commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (as
"ASSET SALE OFFER") pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess
Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon,
if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount
of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess
Proceeds, the Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for general
corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by
Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select
the Notes to be purchased on a PRO RATA basis. Holders of Notes that are the
subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the
Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
on the reverse of the Notes.

         8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations
larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.

         9. 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
Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company
need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record
date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

                                      A-4

         10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

         11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting
as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture,
the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of
the Company's or Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a
merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional
rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect
the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a
supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with
respect to the Notes.

         12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for
30 days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the
Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with Section
4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.14 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Company by
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class to comply with certain other agreements in
the Indenture or the Notes; (v) default under certain other agreements relating
to Indebtedness of the Company which default results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) certain final judgments for the
payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (vii) certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its
Material Subsidiaries; and (viii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any
Subsidiary Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall be held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in
full force and effect or any Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm its obligations
under its Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes shall become
due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal, interest or Liquidated Damages) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the principal
of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a
statement regarding

                                      A-5

compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

         13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for, the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

         14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance
of the Notes.

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

         16. 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).

         17. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND

Agreement between the Company and the parties named on the signature pages
thereof (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT").

contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

         WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company's Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and

         the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes or the
         obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

                           (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will
                  be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
                  acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the

                  Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be
                  promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the
                  terms hereof and thereof; and

                  immediately.

                  (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
         irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes
         or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
         waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any
         provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
         Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which
         might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of
         a guarantor.

                  (c) The following is hereby waived: diligence presentment,
         demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
         insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
         proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
         whatsoever.

         either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the
         Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent
         theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

                  (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any
         right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
         obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
         guaranteed hereby.

                  (g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
         Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
         obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article
         VI of the Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee,
         notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
         such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and
         (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations
         as provided in Article VI of the Indenture, such obligations (whether
         or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the

                  (h) The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
         from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
         does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

                  (i) Pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Indenture, after giving
         effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed
         liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or
         fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections
         from, any rights to receive contribution from, or any payments made by
         or on behalf of, any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
         such other Guarantor under Article XI of the Indenture, this new
         Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount
         permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this
         Subsidiary Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
         conveyance.

         3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the

                  (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or
         merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
         Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated
         with such Guarantor unless:

                           (i) subject to Sections 11.05 and 11.06 of the
                  Indenture, the Person formed by or surviving any such
                  consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the
                  Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such
                  Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and
                  substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the
                  Notes, the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms
                  set forth herein or therein; and

                           (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
                  transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

                  (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
         conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by
         supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
         satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee
         endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of
         the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the
         Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
         substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been
         named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may
         cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be
         endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore
         shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee.
         All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the
         same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary
         Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
         terms of the Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had
         been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

                  (c) Except as set forth in Articles IV and V and Section 11.06
         of Article XI of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b)
         above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall
         prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
         Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance
         of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
         entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

         5.       RELEASES.

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

                  (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
         Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of
         principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of
         any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article XI of the
         Indenture.

         6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing
Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company
or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantees, the
Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect
of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the
Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may
not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it
