provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 

At least one officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless
be valid. 
  

 24 

 A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The
Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver: (i) on the date hereof, an aggregate principal amount of $400 million
9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and $400
million 9 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2018, and
(ii) Additional Notes issued in compliance with Section 2.14 for an original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02 and (iii) Exchange Notes for issue
only in an Exchange Offer pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, for a like principal amount of Notes. Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of each of the 2015 Notes and 2018 Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the
original issue of such Notes is to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes and 2018 Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes and 2018 Notes, respectively, authorized for
issuance by the Company, pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the
Company. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

MDFC 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 2015 Notes and of the 2018 Notes and of their transfer and exchange. MDFC
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. MDFC may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without notice to any Holder. MDFC shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If MDFC fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall
act as such. MDDC, MDFC or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company
initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. The Trustee and any Paying Agent (other than the Company) may assume that no Additional Interest is payable unless it has received written notice from the Company or a Holder that Additional Interest is due and payable. 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 and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying
Agent. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the 

 

 25 

 
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 all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of 2015 Notes and the names and addresses of the Holders of 2018 Notes and the Company shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of
the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be
exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) MDFC delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by MDFC within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the
occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Holder of the Global Note and 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. Except as described in the two preceding sentences, 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 Section 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form 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 Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f). 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the
Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to

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. 

(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. 
 (ix) Any
2015 Note that is transferred or exchanged shall be transferred or exchanged, as applicable, for a 2015 Note. Any 2018 Note that is transferred or exchanged shall be transferred or exchanged, as applicable, for a 2018 Note. 

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, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that the Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, 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 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 a Holder for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

 

 35 

 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 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as
set forth in Section 2.09, 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). 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, 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, 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, any Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, 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 actually 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. 

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 dispose of such
canceled Notes in its customary manner (consistent with all applicable legal requirements). Certification of the disposition 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. 
  

 36 

 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. The Company shall promptly 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. CUSIP, ISIN and Other Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other such numbers (if then generally in use) and, if it
does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of
the CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 Section 2.14. Issuance of
Additional Notes. 
 The Company shall be entitled, from time to time, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09,
without the consent of any Holder, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture with identical terms as the 2015 Notes or the 2018 Notes issued on the Issue Date other than with respect to (i) the date of issuance, (ii) the issue price,
(iii) the amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date, (iv) Additional Notes that are Restricted Notes may contain mandatory or optional redemption provisions that apply only to such Additional Notes and that are agreed
to by the Company and the purchasers of such Additional Notes; provided, that all such redemption rights and obligations expire on or before the filing of a registration statement with respect to the Exchange Offer relating to any such
Additional Notes, and (vi) any changes necessary to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws). Any redemption provisions applicable only to Additional Notes as contemplated by the preceding
sentence shall expressly provide that prior to any Exchange Offer relating to such Notes, all such redemption provisions shall be of no further force or effect, and shall not be deemed to be part of such Additional Notes. The Initial Notes issued on
the Closing Date, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, except redemption provisions. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate prepared pursuant to a resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (a) the
aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 
  

 37 

 (b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP or ISIN number of such Additional Notes;
provided, however, 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; 
 (c) whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Notes; and

 (d) whether such Additional Notes shall include mandatory or optional redemption provisions pursuant to clause (iv) of
the first sentence of the preceding paragraph and the terms of any such redemption provisions. 
 ARTICLE 3.

applicable only to Additional Notes in accordance with Section 2.14, 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, and, if applicable, the Additional Notes, pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of 2015 Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the principal amount of 2018 Notes to be
redeemed, and (v) the redemption price for each of the 2015 Notes and the 2018 Notes, as applicable. 
 Section 3.02. Selection of
Notes to Be Redeemed. 
 If less than all of the 2015 Notes or less than all of the 2018 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 2015 Notes and/or the 2018 Notes, as applicable, that are subject to such redemption or purchase on a pro rata
basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided that as long as DTC serves as Depositary for a Global Note, any redemption shall comply with DTC’s procedural requirements with respect to such
note. 
 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 $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the 2015 Notes or all of the 2018 Notes of a
Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of such class 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. 
 Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.09, at least 30 days but 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. 

The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP Numbers) to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 
  

 38 

 (b) the redemption price for the 2015 Notes and/or the 2018 Notes, as applicable;

 (c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after
the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of the same class and in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion (so long as such amount is in a denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of
$2,000) shall be issued upon 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 providing a form setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Any notice of redemption may be conditional. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On 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. 
  

 39 

 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Note of the same class and equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

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

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered
for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the 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. 

The Company hereby designates the office of the Trustee at U.S. Bank Trust N.A., 100 Wall Street,

Trustee and the Holders within 15 days after it would be required to file them with the SEC (i) all quarterly and annual reports, including financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and
10-K if MDFC were required to file such forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by MDFC’s
certified independent accountants and (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if MDFC were required to file such reports. All such reports will be prepared in all material respects with the

time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and will post the reports on its website within those time periods; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, until
such time as the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC, the Company shall not be required to (x) file any of the information and reports referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii) above with the SEC, or (y) make available any information regarding director and management compensation. The Company shall at all times comply with TIA § 314(a).

subject for any reason, MDFC will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in Section 4.03(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. 

 

 42 

 (c) MDFC will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such
filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in Section 4.03(a) and (b) on its website within the time periods that would apply
if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, MDFC will be deemed to
have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes if it or MDDC has filed (or, in the case of a Form 8-K, furnished) such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.
In addition, MDFC will not be required to furnish any information, certificates or reports required by Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K prior to the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration or shelf registration statement.
Furthermore, the requirements of this Section 4.03 shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by (1) the filing with the SEC of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and/or Shelf-Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, and such registration statement and/or amendments thereto are filed at times that

Trustee and the Holders on MDDC’s or MDFC’s website. 
 In the event that any direct or indirect parent of MDFC
(including, without limitation, MDDC) is or becomes a Guarantor or co-obligor of the notes, MDFC may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that, if required
by Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than MDFC, its
Subsidiaries and the other Guarantors, on the one hand, and the information relating to MDFC, its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors and the other Guarantors, if any, and the other Subsidiaries of MDFC on a standalone basis, on the other hand. MDFC
may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 by furnishing financial information relating to MDDC.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

reinstatement of any Gaming License which if lost or not reinstated, as the case may be, would have a material adverse effect on the business of MDDC and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or would restrict the ability of MDDC or any of its
Subsidiaries to conduct business in any gaming jurisdiction; 
 (iii) any purchase, redemption or other
acquisition or retirement of Capital Stock of MDDC made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of MDDC; 

(iv) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of the Indebtedness of any Person made by exchange for,
or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of MDDC; 

(v) any purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of MDDC or any

Section 4.06(b) (but not pursuant to any other clause of Section 4.06(b)) shall be included in the calculation of the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments under Section 4.06(iii). 

(d) In addition, if the Capital Stock of MDDC or any of its Subsidiaries is at any time in the future owned by employees, officers,
consultants or directors of MDDC or any of its Subsidiaries, the provisions of Section 4.06(a) shall not prohibit: (i) so long as no Default of Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, repurchases by MDDC of its membership units or

Section 4.07. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including MDFC) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or
with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) make loans or advances to MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary; or
(iv) transfer any of its Property to MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (a) agreements in effect on the Issue Date; (b) applicable law including rules,
regulations or orders issued by any Gaming Authority; (c) customary nonassignment provisions in contracts, leases or licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices that are customary in the gaming,
lodging or entertainment industry; (d) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive than those
contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; (e) agreements in existence with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary at the time it is so designated; provided, however, that such agreements are not entered into in
anticipation or contemplation of such designation; (f) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or Property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other
similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business with the approval of MDDC’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the 

 

 46 

 
subject of such agreements; (g) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; (h) purchase
money obligations for Property or equipment acquired for use in the business of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the Property or equipment purchased or leased in the ordinary course

Nothing contained in this Section 4.07 shall prevent MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from granting any Lien permitted by
Section 4.11. 
 Section 4.08. Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a) MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including MDFC) to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided,
however, that MDFC or any Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and MDDC’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would exceed 2.0 to 1.0 after giving effect to: 

(i) the Incurrence of such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness was Incurred at the beginning of the Reference Period and
(if applicable) the application of the net proceeds thereof to repay other Indebtedness as if the application of such proceeds occurred at the beginning of the Reference Period, 

(ii) the Incurrence and retirement of any other Indebtedness since the first day of the Reference Period as if such
Indebtedness was Incurred or retired at the beginning of the Reference Period, and 
 (iii) the acquisition or
disposition of any Property or any company or business by MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of the Reference Period including any acquisition or disposition which will be consummated contemporaneously with the Incurrence
of such Indebtedness, as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of the Reference Period, including, without limitation, any net reduction of lease payments in connection with any acquisition of Property. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as specified below, may Incur the following
Indebtedness: 
 (i) Indebtedness of MDFC represented by the Initial Notes and of the Guarantors under the Note
Guarantees and the Exchange Notes and related Note Guarantees; 
 (ii) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on the Issue Date; 
 (iii) Indebtedness of MDFC or any Guarantor, including
under the Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed (i) $150.0 million and (ii) if greater, an amount equal to 1.5 times Consolidated EBITDA for the Reference Period minus any amounts
outstanding pursuant to the preceding clause (i); 
 (iv) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries owing to and held by MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (A) if MDFC or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not MDFC or a Guarantor, such

  

 47 

 
Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of MDFC, or the Note Guarantees,
in the case of a Guarantor; and (B) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness
except to MDDC or a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed in each case to constitute the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by MDFC thereof; 

(v) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under Interest Rate Agreements, provided that the
obligations under such agreements are related to payment obligations on Indebtedness otherwise permitted by the terms of this Section 4.08; 

(vi) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with one or more standby letters of credit,
performance bonds or completion guarantees issued in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to self-insurance obligations and not in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit; 

(vii) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding under Permitted FF&E Financings which are
either (a) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of MDDC and its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (b) limited in amount (including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to this clause (vii)(b)) to the lesser of (1) the amount of FF&E used in Borgata and financed by such Permitted FF&E Financing, or (2) $25.0 million; 

(viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred by MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of
Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.08(a) or clauses (i), (ii) and this clause (viii) of this Section 4.08(b); provided, however, any such
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness may be incurred up to 90 days prior to the repayment, repurchase or redemption of the Indebtedness being refinanced, redeemed or repaid with such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided further that
prior to any repayment, repurchase or redemption of the Indebtedness being refinanced with such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, MDDC or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily invest the proceeds of such Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness in Temporary Cash Investments or use the proceeds of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness to pay down Indebtedness under the revolving credit portion of the Credit Facility; 

(ix) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations), Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock Incurred or issued by
MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment (other than software) that is used or useful in the business of MDDC and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an
aggregate principal amount at the date of such Incurrence, together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness outstanding under this clause (ix) (and including all Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refinance any Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to this clause (ix)), not to exceed 2.5% of MDDC’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that such Indebtedness exists at the date of such purchase or transaction or is created within 180 days thereafter;
and 
 (x) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or (b) in an aggregate amount outstanding as of the date of any Incurrence of such Indebtedness not to exceed 2.5% of MDDC’s Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets. 
  

 48 

 Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original
issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, will in each case not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with
Section 4.08, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (i) through (x) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a), MDFC
will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its Incurrence, and may later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08. Indebtedness outstanding under
MDFC’s Credit Facility on the Issue Date will initially be deemed to have been Incurred on such date under Section 4.08(b)(iii) and may not later be reclassified. 

Section 4.09. Asset Sales; Event of Loss. 

(a) Other than upon an Event of Loss, MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (including MDFC) to, directly or
indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale after the Issue Date, unless (i) MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Property subject
to such Asset Sale as determined by the Board of Directors of MDDC in good faith; (ii) at least 75% of such consideration consists of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (i) or
(iii) of the definition of “Additional Assets;” provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (ii), (A) the assumption of Indebtedness of MDDC or a Restricted Subsidiary which is not subordinated to the Notes
or any Note Guarantee shall be deemed to be Temporary Cash Investments if MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and all other Restricted Subsidiaries of MDDC, to the extent any of the foregoing are liable with respect to such
Indebtedness, are expressly released from all liability for such Indebtedness by the holder thereof in connection with such Asset Sale, (B) any securities or notes received by MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such
transferee that are converted by MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Temporary Cash Investments within 30 days of the date of such Asset Sale shall be deemed to be Temporary Cash Investments, and (C) MDDC and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may receive consideration in the form of securities exceeding 25% of the consideration for one or more Asset Sales so long as MDDC and its Restricted Subsidiaries do not hold such securities having an aggregate Fair Market Value in
excess of $25.0 million at any time outstanding; and (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to, such Asset Sale. 

(b) Upon an Event of Loss incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Net Proceeds received from such Event of
Loss shall be applied in the same manner as proceeds from Asset Sales described in Section 4.09(a) and pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 4.09. 

(c) Within 360 days after the receipt of the Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale or Event of Loss, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds
from such Asset Sale or Event of Loss may be applied by MDDC or a Restricted Subsidiary (i) to permanently repay, redeem or repurchase senior Indebtedness of the Company, including Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or Notes or Indebtedness
of any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by MDDC or a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Proceeds received by MDDC or another Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that to the extent any such Net Proceeds were from the sale of Collateral, any such Additional Assets shall constitute Collateral); provided, however, that if MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary contractually commits within such
360-day period to apply such Net Proceeds within 180 days of such contractual commitment in accordance with the above clause (i) or (ii), and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied as contemplated in such contractual commitment, then the
requirement for application of Net Proceeds set forth in this Section 4.09(c) shall be considered satisfied. 
  

 49 

 (d) Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or Event of Loss that are not used in accordance
with the Section 4.09(c) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million MDFC shall make an offer to purchase (the “Prepayment Offer”), on a pro rata
basis, from all Holders of the Notes, and, at the election of MDFC, the Holders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness containing comparable repurchase rights, an aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, such other Pari
Passu Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon, in accordance with Section 4.09(e), (f), (g) and
(h). To the extent that any portion of the Excess Proceeds remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders have been given the opportunity to tender the Notes for repurchase in accordance with Section 4.09(e),
MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for general corporate purposes and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. Pending application of Net Proceeds pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 4.09(c), such Net Proceeds shall be used to temporarily repay Pari Passu Indebtedness that is revolving Indebtedness or otherwise be deposited with the Collateral Agent pending application in accordance with Section 4.09(c) and
shall constitute Collateral. 
 (e) Within 15 Business Days after the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, MDFC
shall send a prepayment offer notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders, accompanied by such information regarding MDDC and its Subsidiaries as MDFC in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to the
Prepayment Offer. The prepayment offer notice (which may be conditional) will state, among other things: 
 (i)
that MDFC is offering to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.09 of this Indenture; 
 (ii) that any Note
(or any portion thereof) accepted for payment (and for which payment has been duly provided on the purchase date) pursuant to the Prepayment Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the purchase date; 

(iii) the purchase price and purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, no
less than 30 days nor more than 60 days from the date the Prepayment Offer notice is mailed; 
 (iv) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) to be purchased; 
 (v) a description of any conditions
to such Prepayment Offer; and 
 (vi) a description of the procedure which Holders must follow in order to tender
their Notes (or portions thereof) and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment. 

(f) Not later than the purchase date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company
is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) in Temporary Cash Investments an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.09. Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least five
Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election 
  

 50 

 
if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than three Business Days prior to the purchase date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the
principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder, the certificate number of such Note and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. 

(g) On the purchase date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Notes or portions thereof which have been properly tendered to and
are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or Paying Agent) shall, on the purchase date, mail or deliver payment of the purchase price to each tendering Holder. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Notes delivered by the
Company to the Trustee is less than the amount deposited with the Trustee (or Paying Agent), the Trustee (or Paying Agent) shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the end of the payment date. 

(h) MDFC will comply, to the extent applicable, 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 purchase of Note required by this Section 4.09. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions relating to the Prepayment Offer, MDFC will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue thereof. 

Section 4.10. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (including MDFC) to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or
enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, lease or exchange of any Property, the making of any Investment, the giving of any Guarantee or the rendering or receiving of any
service) with, from or for the benefit of any Affiliate of MDDC involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless: (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially
less favorable to MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as those that could be obtained at the time of such Affiliate Transaction in a similar transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate of MDDC;
and (ii) with respect to each Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate payments to either party in excess of $10.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of MDDC or such Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b) Notwithstanding the limitation of Section 4.10(a), MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist
the following: (i) any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the Issue Date; (ii) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.06; (iii) any transaction or series of transactions between MDDC
and one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (iv) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans or employment agreements) for the personal
services of, indemnity provided on behalf of, and reimbursement of expenses to, officers, directors and employees of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (v) any Investment made by MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries other than an
Investment in a holder of 10% or more of the Capital Stock of MDDC or an Investment in an entity controlled by a holder of 10% or more of the Capital Stock of MDDC (other than indirect control by reason of such holder’s ownership of Capital
Stock of MDDC); and (vi) any contribution of capital to MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 4.11. Liens. 

 (a) MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including MDFC) to, directly or indirectly, Incur
or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including 

 

 51 

 
MDFC) (any such Lien, the “Additional Lien”), on any asset or properties of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom, except, in the case of any asset or property that does not constitute Collateral, any Additional Lien if the Notes are, or in the case of Indebtedness of any Guarantor, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor is, equally and ratably secured
with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Additional Lien secures any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) the obligations secured by such Additional Lien. 

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to Section 4.11(a) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall,
subject to applicable law, be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge the Additional Lien. 

Section 4.12. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article 5, 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. 
 Section 4.13. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change
of Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of (i) a Change of Control (if, at the Change of Control Time the Notes do not
have Investment Grade Status) or (ii) a Change of Control Triggering Event (if, at the Change of Control Time the Notes have Investment Grade Status) each Holder shall have the right to require MDFC to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest if any, thereon to the purchase date (the “Change of Control Payment”). 

(b) Within 30 days following (i) any Change of Control or, (ii) in the event the Notes have Investment Grade Status at the
earlier of the public announcement of (x) a Change of Control or (y) (if applicable) the intention of MDFC to effect a Change of Control or a Change of Control Triggering Event, MDFC shall mail a notice (which may be conditional) to the
Trustee and each Holder stating, among other things: (1) that a Change of Control or Change of Control Triggering Event, as the case may be, has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that
all Notes (or portions thereof) timely tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (3) that any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for payment (and for which payment has been duly provided on the Change of Control payment date)
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (4) that any Notes (or portions thereof) not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (5) a description of the transaction
or transactions constituting the Change of Control or Change of Control Triggering Event, as the case may be; (6) a description of any conditions to the Change of Control Offer; and (7) the procedures that Holders must follow in order to
tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment. 

 

 52 

 (c) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned
upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer. In addition, MDFC 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 4.13 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by MDFC and such third party purchases
all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (d) Not later than the Change of Control
Payment Date, MDFC shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if MDFC is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in Temporary Cash Investments an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and
unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any, to be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.13. Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender
the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to MDFC at the address specified in the notice at least five Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or MDFC receives not later
than three Business Days prior to the purchase date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder, the certificate number of such
Note and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. 
 (e) On the Change of Control
Payment Date, MDFC shall deliver to the Trustee the Notes or portions thereof which have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by MDFC, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
portions of Notes being purchased by MDFC. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by
book entry) to each Holder a new Note of the same class and equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
in excess of $2,000. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Notes delivered by MDFC to the Trustee is less than the amount deposited with the Trustee (or Paying Agent), the Trustee (or Paying Agent) shall deliver the excess to MDFC
immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (f) MDFC will comply, to the extent applicable, 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 purchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control or Change of
Control Triggering Event, as the case may be. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions relating to the Change of Control Offer, MDFC will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue thereof. 
 Section 4.14.
Limitation on Status of Investment Company. 
 MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(including MDFC) to, become an “investment company” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the “Investment Company Act”), to the extent such status would subject MDDC or any such
Subsidiary to regulation under the Investment Company Act, except for Subsidiaries established for the purpose of financing the operating businesses of MDDC and its Subsidiaries. 

 

 53 

 Section 4.15. Payment for Consent. 

Neither MDDC nor MDFC shall, nor shall MDDC or MDFC permit any of their 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 4.16. Limitation on Layered Indebtedness. 

MDDC shall not Incur, and shall not permit MDFC or any Guarantor to Incur, any Indebtedness (including any Indebtedness described
in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 4.08(b) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of MDDC, MDFC or such Guarantor, as applicable, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated
in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of
payment to any other Indebtedness of MDFC or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis. 

Section 4.17. Business Activities. 

MDDC shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including MDFC) to, engage in any business other than a Core
Business, except to such extent as would not be material to MDDC, MDFC and their Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

Section 4.18. Additional Note Guarantees. 

If MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including MDFC) acquires or creates another Material Subsidiary or any Restricted
Subsidiary that is not then a Guarantor becomes a Material Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then such Material Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee within 30 days of the date on which it was acquired, created or otherwise became a Material Subsidiary (or such longer period as may be required to obtain any necessary approvals under applicable Gaming Laws or other regulatory
requirements). Such new Guarantor shall also within such time execute a joinder to the Security Documents and new Security Documents and take all actions required by the Security Documents to perfect the Liens created thereunder. Any Subsidiary of
MDDC that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor until such time as it becomes a Material Subsidiary. MDDC shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain all approvals of any Gaming Authority necessary to permit any
Material Subsidiary to become a Guarantor as promptly as practicable. 
 Section 4.19. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 The Board of Directors of MDDC may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of MDDC (other than MDFC) and any
newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that: 
 (i) such designation would
not cause a Default; 
 (ii) such Subsidiary has no Indebtedness other than Qualified Non-Recourse Debt; 

 

 54 

 (iii) such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of or own or hold any
Lien on any Property of MDDC or any other Subsidiary of MDDC that is not a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated; and 

(iv) such designation is permitted by Section 4.06. 

If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments
owned by MDDC and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary (excluding for this purpose the second sentence of the definition of “Investments”) designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the
time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.06 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investment,” as determined by MDDC. That designation will 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. 

Any designation of a Subsidiary of MDDC as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of MDDC giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (1) such designation complied with the preceding conditions and (2) was permitted by
Section 4.06 and giving the effective date of such designation, such filing with the Trustee to occur within 75 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of MDDC in which such designation is made (or, in the case of a designation made during the
last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year, within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year). If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of MDDC as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date
under Section 4.08, MDFC will be in default of such covenant. 
 The Board of Directors of MDDC may at any time designate,
or redesignate, any Unrestricted Subsidiary of MDDC to be a Restricted Subsidiary of MDDC; provided that such designation, or redesignation, will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of MDDC of any
outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation, or redesignation, will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.08 calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had
occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation or redesignation. 

Section 4.20. Further Assurances; After-Acquired Collateral 

(a) Upon the acquisition by MDFC or any Guarantor after the Issue Date of (i) any after-acquired assets, including, but not limited
to, any after-acquired Material Real Property or any equipment or fixtures which constitute accretions, additions or technological upgrades to the equipment or fixtures or any working capital assets that, in any such case, form part of the
Collateral, or (ii) any replacement assets in compliance with Section 4.09, MDFC or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver, (A) with regard to any Material Real Property, such items reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent
within 60 days of the date of acquisition (or such later date as any applicable regulatory approvals have been obtained), and (B) to the extent required by the Security Documents, any information, documentation, financing statements or other
certificates as may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such after-acquired Property (other than Excluded Property and Collateral that MDFC or such Guarantor is not required
to take actions to perfect as described in the Security Agreement) and to have such after-acquired Property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement relating to
the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect. 
  

 55 

 (b) MDFC and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing
statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the
security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral. 
 Section 4.21. Certain Suspended
Covenants. 
 During any period of time that: (a) the Notes have Investment Grade Status, and (b) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither MDDC nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will be subject to Sections 4.06, 4.08 and 4.09 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”); provided, that with respect to
those covenants that will remain in effect (the “Effective Covenants”), references in such Effective Covenants to clauses in the Suspended Covenants will be deemed to continue to exist for purposes of interpretation of the Effective
Covenants. In the event that MDDC and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, at least one of the two designated
Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or assigns the Notes a rating below the required Investment Grade Ratings, then MDDC and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for the benefit of the Notes.
Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.06 will be made as if Section 4.06 had been in effect since the date of this Indenture except that no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while
that covenant was suspended. 
 ARTICLE 5. 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. 

(a) Neither MDDC nor MDFC shall merge or consolidate with or into any other entity (other than a merger or consolidation of a Restricted
Subsidiary (other than MDFC) with or into MDDC or MDFC) or in one transaction or a series of related transactions sell, convey, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its Property unless: 

(i) the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if MDDC or MDFC is not the surviving entity) or
the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance is made (the “Successor”) 

(A) shall be a Person (other than an individual) organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or
a State thereof or the District of Columbia and such Person expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation, the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium,
if any, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on all the Notes, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions and obligations under the Notes, this Indenture, the Security
Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed by MDDC or MDFC, as the case may be; provided that if any Successor to MDFC is not a corporation, there shall be a co-issuer of the notes that is a
corporation; and 
  

 56 

 (B) the Successor shall have all Gaming Licenses required to operate all
Gaming Facilities to be owned by such Successor; 
 (ii) in the case of a sale, transfer, assignment, lease,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of MDDC or MDFC’s Property, as the case may be, such Property shall have been transferred as an entirety or virtually as an entirety to one Person; 

(iii) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (iv) immediately after giving effect to
such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with such transaction or series of transactions), MDDC, MDFC or the Successor, as
the case may be, would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.08(a). 
 (b) No
Guarantor (other than MDDC) may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than MDFC or another
Guarantor, unless: 
 (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
exists; and 
 (ii) either: (a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.09. 

Section 5.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the Successor 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 and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if the Successor 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 assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01(a). 
  

 57 

 ARTICLE 6. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. 

An “Event of Default” occurs if: 

(a) MDFC defaults in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable
and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (b) MDFC defaults in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if
any, on the Notes when due at maturity, upon acceleration, required purchase or otherwise; 
 (c) MDDC or MDFC fails to observe,
perform or comply with the covenants and agreements of Section 5.01(a); 
 (d) MDFC or any Guarantor fails to observe,
perform or comply with any of the other covenants and agreements in this Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees and such failure to observe, perform or comply continues for a period of 60 days after receipt by MDFC of a written notice from the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class; 

(e) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is not paid when due or within any applicable grace period or is
accelerated by the holders thereof and, in either case, the total amount of such unpaid or accelerated Indebtedness exceeds $35.0 million; 

(f) the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of one or more judgments or orders against MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
in an uninsured aggregate amount in excess of $35.0 million and such judgment or order is not discharged, waived, stayed or satisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days; 

(g) the Company, MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a Material 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,
or 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

(h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree with respect to the Company, MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Material Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary, under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against such Person(s) in an involuntary case; 

(ii) appoints a custodian of such Person(s) or for all or substantially all of the property of such Person(s); or

  

 58 

 (iii) orders the liquidation of such Person(s); 

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

(i) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases
for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person controlling such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, and such default continues for a period of 10 days; 

(j) any of the Security Documents ceases to be in full force and effect, or any of the Security Documents ceases to give the Holders the
first priority Liens purported to be created thereby, or any of the Security Documents is declared null and void, in each case for a period of 30 days after any of MDDC, MDFC or any Guarantor first receives notice of such cessation or MDDC, MDFC or
any Guarantor denies in writing that it has any further liability under any Security Document or gives written notice to such effect (in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the terms of the Security Documents);
and 
 (k) any revocation, suspension or loss of any Gaming License which results in the cessation of business for a period of
more than 90 consecutive days of the business of any Gaming Facility or Gaming Facilities owned, leased or operated directly or indirectly by MDDC or any of its Subsidiaries which, taken together, collectively contribute more than 10% of MDDC’s
Consolidated EBITDA (other than any voluntary relinquishment of a Gaming License if such relinquishment is, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, evidenced by a Board Resolution, both desirable in the conduct of business
of MDDC and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders). 
 The
foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
 A Default under clause (e), (f) or (k) of this
Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding notify MDFC of the Default; provided that any Default under
clause (e) above resulting from a default or acceleration with respect to Indebtedness will not be considered an Event of Default if such default or acceleration is cured or annulled, respectively, within 30 days of the receipt by MDFC of such
notice of default from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

 MDFC shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default, its status and what action MDFC and/or any Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

Subject to Section 6.12 and Section 6.13, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from
Section 6.01(g) or (h)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class may
accelerate the maturity of all the Notes by a notice in writing to MDFC (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice 

 

 59 

 
of acceleration” and on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all of
the Notes then outstanding, will become immediately due and payable. In case an Event of Default resulting from Section 6.01(g) or (h) shall occur, the Notes (including any accrued interest and, if applicable, Additional Interest, thereon)
shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. 
 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 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. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a
single class by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Event of Default or Default and its consequences hereunder if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree except (i) a continuing Default in the payment of principal of premium or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on a Note or (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended
without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and 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 aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class 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 prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such
action. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, direct the Trustee to credit bid the obligations under the Notes at any
bankruptcy or foreclosure sale. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

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

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

 

 60 

 (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. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to
Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive
payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 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 Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and
interest on overdue principal to the extent lawful, 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. 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 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. 
  

 61 

 Section 6.10. Priorities. 

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

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, 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 Additional Interest,
if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the applicable Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

Section 6.12. Redemption Provision Defaults. 

Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of this Article 6, if any Event of Default occurs with respect to mandatory or optional redemption
provisions included solely in any Additional Notes as contemplated by Section 2.14 (a “Redemption Provision Default”), such Redemption Provision Default shall constitute an Event of Default only with respect to the Additional
Notes containing such mandatory or optional redemption provisions and such Additional Notes shall be considered to be Indebtedness for purposes of Section 6.01(e). In addition, (i) solely with respect to any Redemption Provision Default,
all references to the Holders of Notes set forth in this Article 6 (including, without limitation, any applicable voting and consent thresholds regarding notice, waiver, acceleration, remedies, direction of the Trustee and limitations on suits),
shall be deemed to refer only to the Holders of the Additional Notes subject to such Redemption Provision Default and (ii) solely with respect to any Default under Section 6.01(e) that occurs as a result of a Redemption Provision Default,
all references to the Holders of Notes set forth in this Article 6 (including, without limitation, any applicable voting and consent thresholds regarding notice, waiver, acceleration, remedies, direction of the Trustee and limitations on suits),
shall be deemed to refer only to the Holders of Notes other than the Additional Notes subject to such Redemption Provision Default. 
  

 62 

 Section 6.13. Reporting Defaults. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the
reporting obligations described in Section 4.03 and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a) of the TIA, will for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to
receive Additional Interest on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and subject to the same terms as other interest payable under this Indenture. The
Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations under Section 4.03 or TIA § 314(a) first occurs to but
excluding the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to such reporting obligations is cured or waived). If the Event of Default resulting from such failure to comply with the reporting obligations is
continuing on such 365th day, such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to the other remedies provided under this Article 6. 

ARTICLE 7. 

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 

(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 pursuant to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be
furnished to it hereunder to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the procedural 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 7.01; 
 (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. 
  

 63 

 (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 7.01. 
 (e) No provision of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to
believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 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 Holders 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 rely upon any document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection with respect to legal matters relating
to this Indenture and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with such advice or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (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. 
 (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 rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to
the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(g) At any time that the Trustee is not the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement or Security Documents, the
Trustee shall have no duties of the Collateral Agent and shall have no liability for the acts or failure to act of the Collateral Agent thereunder, and the Collateral Agent, at any time that it is not also the Trustee, shall have no duties of the
Trustee and shall have no liability for the acts or failure to act of the Trustee. 
  

 64 

 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. 

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 actually known to a Responsible Officer of 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 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 § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

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 § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee as agreed upon in writing 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 out-of-pocket
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. 

 

 65 

 The Company shall fully indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and 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 shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 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 except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by failure of the
Trustee to provide timely notice of claims of which a Responsible Officer has actual notice. 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 and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 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) 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 § 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 7.08. 
 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; 

(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. 
  

 66 

 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. 
 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 20% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company 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. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 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 or banking association, the successor corporation or association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts
created by this Indenture and any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which is anywhere provided in the Notes or in this Indenture. 
 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 $50 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 § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
  

 67 

 Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8. 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

MDFC 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 applied to all outstanding Notes, and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees, upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon MDFC’s exercise under Section 8.01 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, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees 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 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (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 until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments solely in respect of the principal
of, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and MDFC’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, MDFC may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

 Upon MDFC’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, MDFC shall, subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 and Section 5.01
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, MDFC 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 

 

 68 

 
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, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon MDFC’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(k), except for Sections 6.01(g) and 6.01(h) with respect to MDFC (but not with respect to MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary) 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 to the outstanding Notes: 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars,
non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, Additional Interest or premium, if
any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; and MDFC must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) MDFC 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 will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(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 portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence); 

(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 MDFC or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which MDFC or any of the Guarantors is bound; 

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

 69 

 (g) MDFC 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 or the Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with. 

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

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (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 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 and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or
non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 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 8 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 U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 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)), 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 and Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its
request or (if then held by the Company) 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, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07.
Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s
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 until such time as the 

 

 70 

 
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any
payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Interest, 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 9. 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, or the
Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of a Note to: 
 (a) cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake, omission, or
inconsistency; 
 (b) provide for the assumption of MDFC’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes or
Note Guarantees, as applicable, by a Successor to MDFC or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5; 
 (c) provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 
 (d) add any Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes
and to release Note Guarantees when required by the terms of this Indenture; 
 (e) provide for the release or addition of
Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement; 
 (f) add to
the covenants of MDFC or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon MDFC or any Guarantor; 

(g) 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; 
 (h) comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (i) conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the
Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated August 6, 2010, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that
such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Guarantee; 

(j) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; or

 (k) to remove redemption provisions included in any Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.14 that, pursuant to the
terms of such redemption provisions, are no longer in effect. 
  

 71 

 In addition, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Trustee may enter into a new
intercreditor agreement or amend the Intercreditor Agreement to provide for additional Pari Passu Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement. 

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(b), 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 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, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture,
the Notes and the Note Guarantees without notice to any Holder of Notes but with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) 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, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the
Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, with respect to the amendment, supplement or waiver of any mandatory or optional redemption
provisions included in any Additional Notes as contemplated by Section 2.14, the references in the preceding paragraph to Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to refer to a majority in principal amount of the
Additional Notes which contain such mandatory or optional redemption provisions. 
 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(b), the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture
directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but 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 9.02 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. 
  

 72 

 Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver
under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the principal
amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or change the time
for payment of interest on any Note; 
 (c) reduce the principal of or change the stated maturity of any Note; 

(d) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note, waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note or change the time at
which a Note may be redeemed other than changes to the covenants in Sections 4.09 and 4.13; 
 (e) impair the right of any
Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest, premium, or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes
(except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

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

(g) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults; or 

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

In addition, any amendment which releases MDDC (or any successor or assignee of MDDC that owns Borgata) from its
obligations under any Note Guarantee (except as specified in Article 5 prior to any such amendment) or the Security Documents, such that the effect thereof would be a release of Borgata, will require the consent of the Holders of at least
66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding. 
 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. From and after the date an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms, it shall bind every Holder. 
  

 73 

 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph,
those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

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.

 ARTICLE 10. 

NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Note Guarantees. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including under Section 7.07), the Notes (including, without limitation,
interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is
allowed in such proceeding) and the Security Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees (to the extent lawful) that the Guarantor Obligations may be
extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation. 

(b) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) presentation to, demand of, and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor
Obligations and also waives (to the extent lawful) notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor Obligations. 

 

 74 

 (c) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment
when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations. 

(d) Except as set forth in Section 10.02 and Article 8, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not (to the extent lawful) be subject
to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations
of each Guarantor herein shall not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person
under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the
terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent for the Guarantor Obligations
or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (vi) any change in the ownership of the Company; (vii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance
of the Guarantor Obligations; or (viii) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such
Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (e) Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 5.01, Section 10.02, Section 12.01 or Article 8. Each Guarantor further agrees that its
Note Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any of the Guarantor Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 (f)
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same
shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the
Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the
extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for
post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding). 
 (g) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such
Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed and (ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. 
  

 75 

 (h) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

(i) Neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any
release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Note Guarantee. 

Section 10.02. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited
to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations
of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

(b) A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and each Guarantor and its
obligations under the Note Guarantee and this Indenture shall be released and discharged: 
 (i) in connection
with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise,) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a
Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.09; 
 (ii) in connection with any
sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.09 and the
Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of both MDDC and MDFC as a result of the sale or other disposition; 

(iii) if MDDC designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 4.19; or 
 (iv) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture pursuant to Section 8.02, Section 8.03, or Section 12.01. 
 (c) If any Guarantor is released from its
Note Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors will be released from their Note Guarantees, if any, and it and any of its Subsidiaries will be released from their obligations under the Security Documents. 

(d) In the case of any transaction described in Section 10.02(b)(i) or (b)(ii), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

(e) The release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10.02 shall not preclude the future application of Section 4.19 to such Person. 
  

 76 

 Section 10.03. Right of Contribution. 

Subject to Section 10.04, each Guarantor agrees that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a
“Funding Guarantor”) in respect of the Guarantor Obligations, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the relative net worth of each Guarantor
(including the Funding Guarantor) as of the date of such payment or distribution for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Guarantor Obligations. The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall in
no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

Section 10.04. No Subrogation. 

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the
rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall
any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be
paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from
other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the
Guarantor Obligations. 
 ARTICLE 11. 

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

the Security Documents, shall be secured by Liens as provided in the Security Documents which the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may be, have entered into in connection with the execution of this Indenture and by all Security Documents
hereafter delivered as required or permitted by this Indenture. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree that the
Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral for the benefit of all of the Holders, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security
Documents.

Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure) and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be in effect or as may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, and directs the Trustee
to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

 77 

 (d) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Note Guarantees,
acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the other
Secured Parties, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents in respect of such Persons is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and actions that may be
taken thereunder. The Company shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, and each Guarantor shall, make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to financing statements that may be necessary to continue the
effectiveness of such financing statements) or recordings and take all other actions as are necessary or required to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of MDDC, the Company and its Subsidiaries) the security interest created by the Security
Documents in the Collateral (other than with respect to any Collateral the security interest in which is not required to be perfected under the Security Documents) as a perfected first priority security interest subject only to Permitted Liens.

 Section 11.02. Release of Liens on the Collateral. 

(a) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, including the TIA, the Liens on the Collateral shall automatically and without any need
for any further action by any Person be released: 
 (i) in whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any
portion of Property subject to such Liens which has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar circumstances;

Security Documents and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors
hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have the power (but not the obligation) to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings
as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any
legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be materially
prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee).

for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on
its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the
validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company or any Guarantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges,
assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or refiling any financing statement, continuation
statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Security Documents or otherwise.

 (c) Where any provision of the Security Documents requires that additional property or assets be added to the Collateral, the
Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Guarantors to, take any and all actions reasonably required to cause such additional property or assets to be added to the Collateral and, to the extent required, to create and maintain a valid and
enforceable perfected first-priority security interest in such property or assets (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders and the other Secured Parties, in each case in accordance with and to the
extent required under the Security Documents. 
  

 79 

 (d) In taking any action under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, if requested, as a condition to take any action, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action does not violate this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement and the Trustee
shall be fully protected relying thereon.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 12.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, 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 theretofore been
deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to MDFC) 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 making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or
will become due and payable within one year and MDFC 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 U.S.
Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
for principal, premium, and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

  

 80 

	(2)	other than with respect to a discharge when the Notes have become due and payable, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, any other instrument to which MDFC or any Guarantor is a party or by which MDFC or any Guarantor is bound; 

  

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

 

	(4)	MDFC 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, MDFC must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to
the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Upon any satisfaction and discharge, the Trustee shall give written notice to the Collateral Agent that it no longer claims any security interest in
the Collateral. 
 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 12.01, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

Section 12.02. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 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), interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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 U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with Section 12.01 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 obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if
any, 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 U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

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

 1. INTEREST. Marina District Finance Company, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9 1/2
% per annum from August 6, 2010 until maturity. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 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 April 15, 2011. The Company shall pay interest 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 on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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 comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 2.
METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the
close of business on the April 1 or October 1 immediately 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 Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and
State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, 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 Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which 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, U.S. Bank
National Association, 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, MDDC or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent
and Registrar. 
 4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
August 6, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, MDDC and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and if the Notes are registered under the Securities Act, those made part of the

  

 A-1-2 

 
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 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 the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) Except as set forth in clauses (b), (c), and (d) of this Paragraph 5 or in any Additional Notes that contain optional redemption
provisions in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Indenture, the Company shall not have the option to redeem this Note prior to October 15, 2013. 

On or after October 15, 2013, the Company shall have the option to redeem this Note, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on

 (b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to October 15, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes issued under the
Indenture at redemption prices of 109.50% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on any relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes originally issued under the
Indenture remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding any such Notes held by the Company, MDDC and their Subsidiaries); and (ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such
Public Equity Offering. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to
October 15, 2013, the Company may redeem all or a part of this Note, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of this Note on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 5, prior to October 15, 2013, in each twelve-month period
the Company may redeem up to an aggregate of 10% of the 2015 Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to any redemption
date, subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on any relevant record date to receive interest due on any relevant Interest Payment Date. 

6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 7. MANDATORY DISPOSITION
OR REDEMPTION PURSUANT TO GAMING LAWS. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company will have the right to require a Holder to dispose of such
Holder’s Notes if such 
  

 A-1-3 

 
Holder or the beneficial owner of such Notes is required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws and is not so licensed, qualified or found suitable within any
time period specified by the applicable Gaming Authority. In the event any such Holder fails to dispose of 2015 Notes within a prescribed time period, the Company shall have the right to call such Notes for redemption at a redemption price equal to
the lesser of (i) the lowest closing sale price of the 2015 Notes on any trading day during the 120-day period ending on the date upon which the Company shall have received notice from such Gaming Authority of such Holder’s
disqualification or (ii) the price at which such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the 2015 Notes, unless a different redemption price is required by such Gaming Authority, in which event such required price shall be the redemption price.

 8. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF THE
HOLDER. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of (i) a Change of Control (if, at the Change of
Control Time the Notes do not have Investment Grade Status) or (ii) a Change of Control Triggering Event (if, at the Change of Control Time the Notes have Investment Grade Status), each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the
Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole, or in part in a principal amount that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof on any Change of Control Payment Date plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

Within 30 days following (i) any Change of Control or (ii) in the event the Notes have Investment Grade Status at the earlier
of the public announcement of (x) a Change of Control or (y) if applicable, the intention of the Company to effect a Change of Control or a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, a notice regarding the Change of Control Offer to the Trustee and each Holder of Notes. The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination purchased by completing the form
entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect thereto, all
Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest from and after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(b) If at any time the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in any Asset Sale and/or suffers (or incurs) an Event of Loss, as a
result of which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Company shall, within fifteen Business Days of the date the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, use the then-existing Excess Proceeds to make an offer to
purchase, on a pro rata basis, from all Holders of the Notes (including 2015 Notes and 2018 Notes, including Additional Notes, if any), and at the election of the Company, the holders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness having
comparable rights, an aggregate principal amount of Notes, and, if applicable, such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, equal to the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon. Upon completion of a Prepayment Offer (including payment for accepted Notes), any surplus Excess Proceeds that were the subject of such offer shall cease to be Excess Proceeds, and the Company may
then use such amounts for general corporate purposes. 
 Within 15 Business Days of the date the amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $10,000,000, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice regarding the Prepayment Offer to each Holder of Notes. The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an
authorized denomination purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Prepayment Offer. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase
price with respect thereto, all Notes or portions thereof selected for payment pursuant to the Prepayment Offer will cease to accrue interest from and after the purchase date.

 9. 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. Notices of redemption may be conditional. Notes in denominations
larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the 2015 Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, on and after the redemption date
interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 10. DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes

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. 

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

WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture and the Notes may be amended without prior notice to any Holder of Notes but with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) and (ii) any past Default and its consequences may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to (a) cure
any ambiguity, defect, mistake, omission or inconsistency; (b) provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes or Note Guarantees, as applicable, by a successor to the Company or

Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum dated August 6, 2010 relating to the initial offering

(j) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date; or (k) to remove redemption provisions included in any Additional Notes pursuant to

 A-1-5 

 
may enter into a new intercreditor agreement or amend the Intercreditor Agreement to provide for additional Pari Passu Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the
Intercreditor Agreement. 
 13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events
of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) 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 acceleration, required purchase or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company or MDDC to comply with Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to observe, perform or
comply with any of the other covenants and agreements in the Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees and such failure to observe, perform or comply continues for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class; (v) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is not paid
when due or within any applicable grace period or is accelerated by the holders thereof and, in either case, the total amount of such unpaid or accelerated Indebtedness exceeds $35,000,000; (vi) the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of
one or more judgments or orders against MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an uninsured aggregate amount in excess of $35,000,000 and such judgment or order is not discharged, waived, stayed or satisfied for a period of 60 consecutive
days; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company, MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
Material Subsidiary; (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person
controlling such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, and such default continues for a period of 10 days; (ix) any of the Security Documents ceases to be in full force and effect, or any of the Security
Documents ceases to give the Holders the first priority Liens purported to be created thereby, or any of the Security Documents is declared null and void, in each case for a period of 30 days after any of the Company, MDDC or any Guarantor first
receives notice of such cessation or the Company, MDDC or any Guarantor denies in writing that it has any further liability under any Security Document or gives written notice to such effect (in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture or the terms of the Security Documents); and (x) any revocation, suspension or loss of any Gaming License which results in the cessation of business for a period of more than 90 consecutive days of the business of any Gaming
Facility or Gaming Facilities owned, leased or operated directly or indirectly by MDDC or any of its Subsidiaries which, taken together, collectively contribute more than 10% of MDDC’s Consolidated EBITDA (other than any voluntary
relinquishment of a Gaming License if such relinquishment is, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, evidenced by a Board Resolution, both desirable in the conduct of business of MDDC and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders). A Default under clause (v), (vi) or (x) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) notify the Company of the Default; provided that any Default under clause (v) above resulting from a default or acceleration with respect to Indebtedness will not be considered an Event of Default if such
default or acceleration is cured or annulled, respectively, within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of such notice of default from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. 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 (including Additional Notes, if any) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable by a notice in writing to the Company (and to
the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all of the Notes then outstanding, will become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency,

  

 A-1-6 

 
all outstanding Notes will 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 sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations described
under Section 4.03 of the Indenture and for any failure to comply with the requirements of TIA § 314(a) will, for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional
Interest on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. If the Event of Default resulting from such failure to comply with the reporting obligations is continuing on such
365th day, such Additional Interest will cease to accrue
and the Notes will be subject to the other remedies provided in the Indenture. 
 The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) 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 and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on,
or the principal of, the Notes. 
 The provisions of this Paragraph 13 are subject to certain limitations and exceptions set
forth in the Indenture with respect to an Event of Default that occurs by reason of a default with respect to any redemption provisions contained solely in Additional Notes. 

14. 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. 

15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer,
employee, incorporator or stockholder, partner, member or joint-venturer of the Company or any of the Guarantors (including, without limitation, MDHC and its members), as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the
Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture or the Security Documents 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. 
 16.
AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

17. 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). 

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

 

 A-1-7 

 19. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF
HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Notes shall have all the rights set forth
in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 6, 2010, among the Company, MDDC and the parties named on the signature pages thereof. 

20. GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED
TO CONSTRUE THE NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights
Agreement. Requests may be made to Marina District Development Company, LLC , One Borgata Way, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, Attention: General Counsel.

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

 1. INTEREST. Marina District Finance Company, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9 7/8
% per annum from August 6, 2010 until maturity. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 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 February 15, 2011. The Company shall pay interest, 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 on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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 comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 2.
METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the
close of business on the February 1 or August 1 immediately 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 Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and
State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, 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 Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which 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, U.S. Bank
National Association, 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, MDDC or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent
and Registrar.

August 6, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, MDDC and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those

stated in the Indenture and if the Notes are registered under the Securities Act, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code
§§ 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 the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to August 15, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes issued under the
Indenture at a redemption price of 109.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on any relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes originally issued under the
Indenture remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding any such Notes held by the Company, MDDC and their Subsidiaries); and (ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such
Public Equity Offering. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to

 A-2-3 

 6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company
shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 7.
MANDATORY DISPOSITION OR REDEMPTION PURSUANT TO GAMING LAWS. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company will
have the right to require a Holder to dispose of such Holder’s Notes if such Holder or the beneficial owner of such Notes is required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws and is not so licensed, qualified or
found suitable within any time period specified by the applicable Gaming Authority. In the event any such Holder fails to dispose of 2018 Notes within a prescribed time period, the Company shall have the right to call such Notes for redemption at a
redemption price equal to the lesser of (i) the lowest closing sale price of the 2018 Notes on any trading day during the 120-day period ending on the date upon which the Company shall have received notice from such Gaming Authority of such
Holder’s disqualification or (ii) the price at which such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the 2018 Notes, unless a different redemption price is required by such Gaming Authority, in which event such required price shall be the
redemption price. 
 8. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF
THE HOLDER. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of (i) a Change of Control (if, at
the Change of Control Time the Notes do not have Investment Grade Status) or (ii) a Change of Control Triggering Event (if, at the Change of Control Time the Notes have Investment Grade Status), each Holder of Notes shall have the right to
require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole, or in part in a principal amount that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the principal amount thereof on any Change of Control Payment Date plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

Within 30 days following (i) any Change of Control or (ii) in the event the Notes have Investment Grade Status at the earlier
of the public announcement of (x) a Change of Control or (y) if applicable, the intention of the Company to effect a Change of Control or a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, a notice regarding the Change of Control Offer to the Trustee and each Holder of Notes. The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination purchased by completing the form
entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect thereto, all
Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest from and after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(b) If at any time the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in any Asset Sale and/or suffers (or incurs) an Event of Loss, as a
result of which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Company shall, within fifteen Business Days of the date the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, use the then-existing Excess Proceeds to make an offer to
purchase, on a pro rata basis, from all Holders of the Notes (including 2015 Notes and 2018 Notes, including Additional Notes, if any), and at the election of the Company, the holders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness having
comparable rights, an aggregate principal amount of Notes, and, if applicable, such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, equal to the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon. Upon completion of a Prepayment Offer (including payment for accepted Notes), any surplus Excess Proceeds that were the subject of such offer shall cease to be Excess Proceeds, and the Company may
then use such amounts for general corporate purposes. 
  

 A-2-4 

 Within 15 Business Days of the date the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the
Company shall send, or cause to be sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice regarding the Prepayment Offer to each Holder of Notes. The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination
purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Prepayment Offer. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price with respect thereto,
all Notes or portions thereof selected for payment pursuant to the Prepayment Offer will cease to accrue interest from and after the purchase date. 

9. 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. Notices of redemption may be conditional. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but
only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the 2018 Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, on and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption. 
 10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted
by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. In addition, 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. 

11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND
WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture and the Notes may be amended without prior notice to any Holder of Notes but with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) and (ii) any past Default and its consequences may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to (a) cure
any ambiguity, defect, mistake, omission or inconsistency; (b) provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes or Note Guarantees, as applicable, by a successor to the Company or

or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor; (g) 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 Holder; (h) comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (i) conform the text of the
Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum dated August 6, 2010 relating to the initial offering
of the Notes, to the extent 
  

 A-2-5 

 
that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Note Guarantee; (j) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture in effect on the Issue Date; or (k) to remove redemption provisions included in any Additional
Notes pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Indenture that, pursuant to the terms of such redemption provisions, are no longer in effect. In addition, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Trustee may enter into a new intercreditor
agreement or amend the Intercreditor Agreement to provide for additional Pari Passu Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement. 

13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default
for 30 days in the payment when due of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) 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
acceleration, required purchase or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company or MDDC to comply with Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to observe, perform or comply with any of the other
covenants and agreements in the Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees and such failure to observe, perform or comply continues for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class; (v) Indebtedness of MDDC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is not paid when due or within any
applicable grace period or is accelerated by the holders thereof and, in either case, the total amount of such unpaid or accelerated Indebtedness exceeds $35,000,000; (vi) the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of one or more judgments
or orders against MDDC or any of its Guarantor in an uninsured aggregate amount in excess of $35,000,000 million and such judgment or order is not discharged, waived, stayed or satisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days; (vii) certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company, MDDC or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary; (viii) except
as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person controlling such Guarantor, denies or
disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, and such default continues for a period of 10 days; (ix) any of the Security Documents ceases to be in full force and effect, or any of the Security Documents ceases to give the Holders the
first priority Liens purported to be created thereby, or any of the Security Documents is declared null and void, in each case for a period of 30 days after any of the Company, MDDC or any Guarantor first receives notice of such cessation or the
Company, MDDC or any Guarantor denies in writing that it has any further liability under any Security Document or gives written notice to such effect (in each case, other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or the terms of the
Security Documents); and (x) any revocation, suspension or loss of any Gaming License which results in the cessation of business for a period of more than 90 consecutive days of the business of any Gaming Facility or Gaming Facilities owned,
leased or operated directly or indirectly by MDDC or any of its Subsidiaries which, taken together, collectively contribute more than 10% of MDDC’s Consolidated EBITDA (other than any voluntary relinquishment of a Gaming License if such
relinquishment is, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, evidenced by a Board Resolution, both desirable in the conduct of business of MDDC and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders). A Default under clause (v), (vi) or (x) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) notify the Company of the
Default; provided that any Default under clause (v) above resulting from a default or acceleration with respect to Indebtedness will not be considered an Event of Default if such default or acceleration is cured or annulled,
respectively, within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of such notice of default from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes 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 (including Additional Notes, if any) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable by a notice in writing to the 

 

 A-2-6 

 
Company (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such
notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all of the Notes then outstanding, will become immediately 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 will 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 sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations described
under Section 4.03 of the Indenture and for any failure to comply with the requirements of TIA § 314(a) will, for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional
Interest on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. If the Event of Default resulting from such failure to comply with the reporting obligations is continuing on such
365th day, such Additional Interest will cease to accrue
and the Notes will be subject to the other remedies provided in the Indenture. 
 The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) 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 and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on,
or the principal of, the Notes. 
 The provisions of this Paragraph 13 are subject to certain limitations and exceptions set
forth in the Indenture with respect to an Event of Default that occurs by reason of a default with respect to any redemption provisions contained solely in Additional Notes. 

14. 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. 

15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer,
employee, incorporator or stockholder, partner, member or joint-venturer of the Company or any of the Guarantors (including, without limitation, MDHC and its members), as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the
Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture or the Security Documents 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. 
 16.
AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 

17. 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). 

18. CUSIP NUMBERS; ISINS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee
on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers and ISINs to be 
  

 A-2-7 

 
printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

19. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF
RESTRICTED NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated
as of August 6, 2010, among the Company, MDDC and the parties named on the signature pages thereof. 
 20.
GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE 2018 NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
 The Company will furnish to any Holder upon
written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to Marina District Development Company, LLC , One Borgata Way, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, Attention: General Counsel.
