control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, "control"

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

Management Agreements in any one fiscal year shall not be deemed "Affiliate
Transactions"; provided, that (1) such transactions are conducted in good faith

Holder and Upper Tier Equity Holder shall be jointly and severally liable to
reimburse the Company in an amount (such amount, until reimbursed to the

excess of (x) the Permitted Tax Distributions previously made to such Equity
Holder in respect of that taxable year over (y) the Permitted Tax Distributions

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

determination that the Company or a Subsidiary was not a Flow Through Entity,

extent the Permitted Tax Distributions previously made to such Equity Holder in
respect of that taxable year were less than the Permitted Tax Distributions

                                    THE NOTES

Section 2.1 Form and Dating.

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

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

Section 2.2       Execution and Authentication.

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

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

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

                                       25
<PAGE>

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

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

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

Section 2.3 Registrar, Paying Agent and Depositary.

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

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

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

Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

       The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the
Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment.
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to
the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other

                                       26
<PAGE>

than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability
for the money delivered to the Trustee. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company acts as Paying Agent (subject to Section 2.3), it shall segregate and
hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by
it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization related to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.5 Holder Lists.

       The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the
Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders,
including the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each such Holder, and
the Issuers shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a).

Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       27
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       28
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       29
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       30
<PAGE>

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

Section 2.7 Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.8 Outstanding Notes.

       The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the
Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section 2.8 as not outstanding.

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

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

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

Section 2.9 Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

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

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

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

                                       32
<PAGE>

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

Section 2.13 Legends.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys.

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

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

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

Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption.

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

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

              (1) the redemption date;

              (2) the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

       ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

                                       34
<PAGE>

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

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

Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

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

Section 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part.

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

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

Section 3.9 No Mandatory Redemption.

       The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments

and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and
this Indenture may be served. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

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

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

Section 4.3 Reports.

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

accountants and (ii) all information that would be required to be contained in a
filing with the Commission on Form 8-K if either of the Issuers were required to

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

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

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

thereunder to each Holder and to each beneficial owner and prospective purchaser
of Notes identified by any Holder of Restricted Securities.

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

action each is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

       (b) The year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.3
above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the independent public
accountants of the Company (which shall be a firm of established national
reputation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) that in making the
examination necessary for certification of such financial statements nothing has
come to their attention which would lead them to believe that either the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries has violated any provisions of this Indenture or, if
any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence
thereof, it being understood that such

                                       38
<PAGE>

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

       (c) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuers shall
deliver to the Trustee forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of (i) any
Default or Event of Default or (ii) any event of default under any mortgage,

and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.5 Taxes.

       The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, file all tax
returns required to be filed and to pay prior to delinquency all material taxes,
assessments and governmental levies except as contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been established in
accordance with GAAP.

Section 4.6 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

Section 4.7 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

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

              (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on
account of any Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
make any other payment to any Excluded Person or Affiliate thereof (other than
(A) dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than
Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Company or (B) amounts payable to the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary);

              (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
Equity Interest of the Company or any Affiliate (other than any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company) of the Company (other than any such Equity Interest

              (iii) make any principal payment on, or purchase, redeem, defease
or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or
such Subsidiary Guarantor's

                                       39
<PAGE>

Subsidiary Guarantee thereof, as the case may be, prior to any scheduled
principal payment, sinking fund payment or other payment at the stated maturity
thereof; or

              (iv) make any Restricted Investment

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

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

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

       (c) such Restricted Payment (the value of any such payment, if other than
cash, being determined in good faith by the Managers of the Company and
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee), together with the aggregate of all other Restricted Payments made on
or after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i),
(v) (to the extent such payments do not reduce Consolidated Net Income), (vi)
(to the extent such payments do not reduce Consolidated Net Income), (vii),
(viii), (ix), (x) and, to the extent the Company is given credit for such Net
Cash Proceeds pursuant to clause (2) of this paragraph, (ii) of the next
following paragraph and excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (iii)
and (iv) of the next following paragraph), is less than the sum, without
duplication, of

       (1)    50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period
              (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first
              fiscal quarter commencing immediately after the Issue Date to the
              end of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
              internal financial statements are available at the time of such

       (iii)  so long as clause (a) above is satisfied, with respect to each
              taxable year that the Company qualifies as a Flow Through Entity,

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

       (ix)   the redemption and repurchase of any Equity Interests or
              Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the
              extent required by any Gaming Authority or, if determined in the
              good faith judgment of the Managers of the Company as evidenced by
              a resolution of the Managers that has been delivered to the

be based upon the Company's latest available financial statements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to deliver an
Officers' Certificate to the Trustee pursuant to this covenant if any action is
taken pursuant to subsection (ii), (iv) or (v) of the immediately preceding

Section 4.8 Limitation on Restrictions on Subsidiary Dividends.

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

              (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) on such Restricted Subsidiary's

   restrictions that are not more restrictive than those contained in the
   documents governing the Credit Facility on the Issue Date;

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

          (3) applicable law;

          (4) Acquired Debt; provided, that such encumbrances and

   such Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive than those
   contained in any agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced.

Section 4.9 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       44
<PAGE>

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

Section 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       45
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       46
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 4.11 Limitation on Transactions With Affiliates.

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

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

                                       47
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

       (c) the non-exclusive licensing of any service mark or other trademarks
of the Company to an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Company; and

       (d) transactions between or among the Company and any Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of the Company.

Section 4.12 Limitation on Liens.

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

Section 4.13 Existence.

       Subject to Article 5 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i)
their respective limited liability company and corporate existence, and
corporate, partnership or other existence of each of the Subsidiaries, in
accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be

                                       48
<PAGE>

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

Section 4.14 Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

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

new Note will be in the principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple

lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties
or assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted

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

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

              (iv) such transaction would not result in the loss or suspension

       Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuers or any
       Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guaranty now exists
       or is created after the Issue Date, if (A) either (1) such default

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

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

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

Section 6.2 Acceleration.

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

Section 6.3 Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.

       Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes (a) waive any existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event
of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of,

                                       55
<PAGE>

any Note or a Default or an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or
provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each outstanding Note affected, and/or (b) rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal or
interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured
or waived. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.5 Control by Majority.

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

Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

                                       56
<PAGE>

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee.

       If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of
principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue
interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

       The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any
other obligor under the Notes), their creditors or their property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall
be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders of the Notes
may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under
any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

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

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

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

                                       57
<PAGE>

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

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

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

       In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.
This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 6.6, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

                                       59
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee.

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

                                       60
<PAGE>

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

Section 7.4 Trustee's Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults.

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

Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       61
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

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

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

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

                                       62
<PAGE>

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

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

Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

       (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting; or

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

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

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

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

                                       63
<PAGE>

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

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

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

Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

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

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

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers.

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

Issuers' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under Section 7.7 and the

survive) when all outstanding Notes theretofore authenticated and issued have
been delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been
replaced or paid) to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuers or the
Subsidiary Guarantors have paid all sums payable hereunder. In addition, the
Issuers may elect at any time to have Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, at the

respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the

Following such Legal Defeasance, (a) the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire indebtedness outstanding hereunder, and this Indenture

Guarantees, and (b) the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to
have satisfied all other of their respective obligations under the Notes, the
Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at
the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder:

              (i) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the

Trustee hereunder and the Issuers' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations in
connection therewith.

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

Section 8.3 Covenant Defeasance.

       Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option

thereafter be

                                       65
<PAGE>

deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding"
for all other purposes hereunder. Following such Covenant Defeasance, (a)
neither the Issuers nor any Subsidiary Guarantor need comply with, and none of
them shall have any liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in
any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantee shall be unaffected thereby, and (b) Sections 6.1(3)

U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in
such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the
applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers shall specify
whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption
date;

a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable
Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred;

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

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

in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material
agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuers or any
of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the
Subsidiaries is bound;

                                       66
<PAGE>

              (vi) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent

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

a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion
delivered under Section 8.4(i) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance.

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

                                       67
<PAGE>

and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers.

Section 8.7 Reinstatement.

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

              (3) to comply with Article 5 and Section 10.13 hereof;

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

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

                                       68
<PAGE>

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

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

Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders.

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

obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes).

       (b) Upon the request of the Issuers, accompanied by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of each of the Issuers authorizing the execution of any such

evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of such
supplemental indenture or amendment unless such supplemental indenture or
amendment affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

              (vii) make any change in Section 6.4 or 6.7 hereof or in this

Notes at the time outstanding, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Trustee may not amend or supplement the Security Documents, or waive or modify
the rights of the Holders thereunder or the provisions of this Indenture
relating thereto.

Section 9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

       Until a supplemental indenture, an amendment or waiver becomes effective,
a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not
made on any Note. A supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

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

                                       70
<PAGE>

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

Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

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

the Collateral, in favor of the Trustee, superior to and prior to the rights of
all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens, other than as provided herein

re-registering and refiling of all supplemental indentures, financing
statements, continuation statements or other instruments of further assurance as
is necessary to maintain the Liens of the Security Documents and reciting the
details of such action, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions or (ii)

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

              (i) upon payment in full of the Notes and all other Obligations

Rights Agreement then due and owing,

conditions precedent hereunder have been met and such other documents required
by Section 10.5 hereof. Upon compliance with the above provisions, the Trustee
shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of
termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral
permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents.

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

Section 10.5 Certificates of the Issuers.

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

of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained
in such instruments. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA ss. 314(d) may

314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent
engineer, appraiser or other expert within the meaning of TIA ss. 314(d).

Section 10.6 Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee Under the
             Security Documents.

       Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may, in

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

                                       73

of the Holders or the Trustee).

             Documents.

       For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, subject to Section 10.10 hereof, each Subsidiary
Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees (such
guarantees, together with further guarantees granted from time to time pursuant
to Section 10.13, being the "Subsidiary Guarantee") to each Holder and the
Trustee irrespective of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the
Notes, the Security Documents, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder: (i) the due and punctual
payment of the principal and premium, if any, of, and interest on, the Notes

on the overdue principal and premium, if any, of, and interest on, the Notes, if

otherwise.

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

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

                                       74

claim with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either of the
Issuers, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary or any other obligor
under the Notes, any right to require a proceeding first against the applicable
Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary or any other obligor
under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents, protest, notice and
all demands whatsoever, (ii) any right of subrogation, reimbursement,

guaranteed hereby and (iii) any claim or other rights that it may now or
hereafter acquire against the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries that arise from
the existence or performance of its Obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee,
including, without limitation, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of a Holder against the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries or any Collateral
that a Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy
or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any
payment made hereunder or otherwise, and including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries, directly
or indirectly, in cash or other property, by setoff or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

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

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

Section 10.9 Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.

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

                                       75
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

Section 10.10 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor's Liability.

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

Section 10.11 Rights under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

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

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

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

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

                                       76
<PAGE>

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

Section 10.12 Primary Obligations.

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

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

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

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

       4. Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
December 6, 2001 (the "Indenture") among the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors
named therein and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (the "TIA") (15 U.S. Code ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in
effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA and thereafter as in effect on the date the Indenture is
so qualified. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The terms of the
Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes.
Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings

                                      A-4
<PAGE>

assigned in the Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be
authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited.

       5. Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in Sections 3.7(b) and 3.8 of
the Indenture, the Notes are not redeemable at the Issuers' option prior to
November 30, 2005. Thereafter, the Notes shall be subject to redemption at the
option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed
as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the applicable date of
redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 30 of
the years indicated below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
       Year                                   Percentage
       ----                                   ----------
       <S>                                    <C>
       2005    .                              105.827%
       2006 and thereafter                    100.000%
</TABLE>

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

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

       7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the
Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar and the Issuers need not exchange or
register the transfer (i) of any Note or portion of a Note selected for
redemption or (ii) of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the
corresponding Interest Payment Date.

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

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

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

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

       10. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare by written notice to the
Issuers and the Trustee all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, except
that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may
require security and indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Issuers must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee.

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

       12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, member, manager, officer,
employee, incorporator, stockholder or controlling person of the Issuers or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of
the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the
Security Documents or the Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this provision
shall be construed as a waiver or release of any claims under the Federal
securities laws.

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

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

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

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

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

charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act

Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective until the consummation of the
Exchange Offer pursuant to its terms; and

the SEC, commence the Exchange Offer and use their respective reasonable best
efforts to, on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is declared effective, but in no event later than 30 days
thereafter, consummate the Exchange Offer and issue Exchange Securities in
exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer.

The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the
Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation
of the staff of the SEC.

     (b) The Exchange Securities shall be issued under, and entitled to the
benefits of, the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the
Indenture (other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any
requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification thereof under
the TIA).

                                       6
<PAGE>

     (c) In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers and the Guarantors
shall:

          (i) mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of
transmittal that is an exhibit to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and
any related documents;

          (ii) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days after the
date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by
applicable law);

          (iii) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with
an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;

          (iv) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to
the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the
Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

          (v) otherwise comply with all laws applicable to the Exchange Offer.

withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer;

          (ii) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes so accepted for

the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Notes, from the date of original issue of the Notes. Each Exchange Security and
each Private Exchange Security shall bear interest at the rate set forth

defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Securities received by
such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer (a "PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER"). Such
"Plan of Distribution" section shall also allow the use of the Prospectus by all
Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act,
including (without limitation) all Participating Brokers-Dealers, and include a
statement describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell
the Exchange Securities. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their
respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement continuously effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus to

requirement of the Securities Act for the shorter of : (i) such period of time
as such Persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the
Exchange Securities and (ii) the period ending when all Registrable Securities
covered by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement have been sold pursuant
thereto (the "APPLICABLE PERIOD").

     (g) If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchaser
holds any Notes acquired by it and having the status as an unsold allotment in
the initial distribution of the Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall,
upon the request of the Initial Purchaser, simultaneously with the delivery of
the Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, issue (pursuant to the same
indenture as the Exchange Securities and subject to transfer restrictions
thereon) and deliver to the Initial Purchaser, in exchange for the Notes held by
the Initial Purchaser (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE"), a like principal amount of debt
securities of the Issuers, including guarantees endorsed thereon, that are
identical to the Exchange Securities (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE Securities"). The
Private Exchange Securities shall bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange
Securities.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     (h) The Issuers may require each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer
to represent to the Issuers and the Guarantors that, at the time of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer: (i) any Exchange Securities received by such
Holder in the Exchange Offer will be acquired in the ordinary course of its
business; (ii) such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any
Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities within the
meaning of the Securities Act or resale of the Exchange Securities in violation
of the Securities Act; (iii) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is
not engaged in and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the
Exchange Securities; (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive
Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired
as a result of market-making or other trading activities, that it will deliver a
prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of such Exchange
Securities; and (v) if such Holder is an affiliate of either of the Issuers,
that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act applicable to it.

          (i) If: (i) prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, either of
the Issuers or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Registrable Securities determines in its or their reasonable judgment that the
Exchange Securities would not, upon receipt, be tradeable by the Holders thereof
without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without
material restrictions under applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws; (ii)
applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC would not permit the
consummation of the Exchange Offer prior to the Effectiveness Date; (iii)
subsequent to the consummation of the Private Exchange, any Holder of Private
Exchange Securities so requests; (iv) the Exchange Offer is not consummated
within 150 days of the Closing Date for any reason; or (v) in the case of (A)
any Holder prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the Exchange
Offer, (B) any Holder participating in the Exchange Offer that receives Exchange
Securities that may not be sold without restriction under state and federal
securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an
affiliate of either of the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act) or
(C) any broker-dealer that holds Notes acquired directly from the Issuers or any
of their respective affiliates and, in each such case contemplated by this
clause (v), such Holder notifies the Issuers within 20 Business Days of
consummation of the Exchange Offer, then the Issuers shall promptly (and in any
event within five Business Days) deliver to the Holders (or in the case of an
occurrence of any event described in clause (v) of this Section 2(i), to any
such Holder) and the Trustee notice thereof (the "SHELF NOTICE") and shall as
promptly as possible thereafter (but in no

                                       9
<PAGE>

event later than the Shelf Filing Date) file an Initial Shelf Registration
pursuant to Section 3; provided, that no Holder (other than the Initial
Purchaser) shall be entitled to have Securities held by it covered by such Shelf
Registration unless such Holder agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of
this Agreement applicable to such Holder.

3. SHELF REGISTRATION.

     If a Shelf Notice is required to be delivered pursuant to clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of Section 2(i), then this Section 3 shall apply to all
Registrable Securities. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with Section 2, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply solely
with respect to (i) Notes held by any Holder thereof prohibited by law or SEC
policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Notes held by any
broker-dealer that acquired such Notes directly from the Issuers or any of their
respective affiliates, and (iii) Exchange Securities that are not freely
tradeable, in each case, as contemplated by clause (v) of Section 2(i).

     (a) Initial Shelf Registration. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall
prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be
made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable
Securities (the "INITIAL SHELF REGISTRATION"), subject to the Issuers' right
pursuant to Section 3(c) to exclude the Registrable Securities of Holders which
have not provided the information required to be furnished by such Holders
pursuant to Section 3(c). The Issuers and the Guarantors shall file with the SEC
the Initial Shelf Registration as promptly as possible following the occurrence
of the event described in Section 2(i) which triggered such filing obligation,
but in no event later than the Shelf Filing Date. The Initial Shelf Registration
shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such
Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in the manner or manners
designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten
offerings). The Issuers and the Guarantors (i) shall not permit any securities
other than the Registrable Securities to be included in any Shelf Registration,
and (ii) shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Initial
Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly
as practicable after the filing thereof (but in no event later than the Shelf
Effectiveness Date) and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date that is 24 months after the
date it is declared effective (subject to extension pursuant to the last
paragraph of Section 6) (the "EFFECTIVENESS

                                       10
<PAGE>

PERIOD"), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Registrable Securities
covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold, (ii) a Subsequent
Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Securities has been declared
effective under the Securities Act, (iii) such Registrable Securities are
eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or (iv)
there cease to be any outstanding Registrable Securities.

     (b) Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If any Shelf Registration ceases to be
effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than
because of the sale of all of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder),
the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best
efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of such cessation
of effectiveness file an amendment to the Shelf Registration in a manner
reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, or file an additional "shelf" Registration Statement
pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities (a "SUBSEQUENT
SHELF REGISTRATION"). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Issuers
and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause
the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as promptly as
practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration
continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the
Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial
Shelf Registration, and any previously filed Subsequent Shelf Registration, was
previously effective.

     (c) Provision of Information. The Issuers and the Guarantors may exclude
from any Shelf Registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder who,
without a reasonable basis, fails to furnish to the Issuers in writing, within
20 days after receipt of a written request therefor, the information specified
in Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act
for use in connection with any Shelf Registration or Prospectus or preliminary
prospectus included therein. No such Holder shall be entitled to liquidated
damages pursuant to Section 4 unless and until such Holder shall have provided
all such information. Each Holder whose Registrable Securities are to be
included in a Shelf Registration Statement agrees to promptly furnish to the
Issuers all additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the
information previously furnished to the Issuers by such Holder not materially
misleading.

4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

<PAGE>

     (a) The Issuers and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the Holders
will suffer damages, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent
of such damages with precision, if the Issuers and the Guarantors fail to
fulfill their respective obligations hereunder. Accordingly, in the event of
such failure, the Issuers and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay
liquidated damages to each Holder under the circumstances and to the extent set

          (iii) if the Issuers and the Guarantors have not exchanged Exchange
Securities for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the
Exchange Offer within 30 days after the date on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

          (iv) if obligated to file an Initial Shelf Registration and the
Issuers and the Guarantors fail to file such Initial Shelf Registration with the
SEC on or prior to Shelf Filing Date;

          (v) if an Initial Shelf Registration is filed and such Initial Shelf
Registration is not declared effective on or prior to the Shelf Effectiveness
Date; or

          (vi) if a Shelf Registration is filed and declared effective by the
SEC but thereafter ceases to be effective without being succeeded within 30 days
by a Subsequent Shelf Registration filed and declared effective;

(each of the foregoing an "EVENT," and the date on which the Event occurs being
referred to herein as an "EVENT DATE").

     Upon the occurrence of any Event, the Issuers shall pay, or cause to be
paid (and the Guarantors hereby guarantee the payment of), in addition to
amounts otherwise due under the Indenture and the Registrable Securities, as
liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, to each Holder for each weekly period
beginning on the Event Date an amount equal to the Weekly Liquidated Damages
Amount per

<PAGE>

$1,000 principal amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holder; provided,
that such liquidated damages will, in each case, cease to accrue (subject to the
occurrence of another Event) on the date on which all Events have been cured. An
Event under clause (i) above shall be cured on the date that the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement (or, if an Initial Shelf Registration is required to be
filed pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(i), the date that such
Initial Shelf Registration) is filed with the SEC; an Event under clause (ii)
above shall be cured on the date that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(or, if an Initial Shelf Registration is required to be filed pursuant to clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(i), the date that such Initial Shelf
Registration) is declared effective by the SEC; an Event under clause (iii)
above shall be cured on the earlier of the date (A) the Exchange Offer is
consummated with respect to all Notes validly tendered or (B) the Issuers
deliver a Shelf Notice to the Holders and the Trustee pursuant to clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of Section 2(i); an Event under clause (iv) above shall be cured
on the date that such Initial Shelf Registration is filed with the SEC; an Event
under clause (v) above shall be cured on the date that such Initial Shelf
Registration is declared effective by the SEC; and an Event under clause (vi)
above shall be cured on the earlier of (1) the date on which the applicable
Shelf Registration is no longer subject to an order suspending the effectiveness
thereof or proceedings relating thereto or (2) a new Subsequent Shelf
Registration is declared effective.

     (b) The Issuers shall notify the Trustee within five Business Days after
each Event Date. The Issuers shall pay the liquidated damages due on the
Registrable Securities by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit
of the Holders thereof, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on or before the
applicable semi-annual interest payment date for the Registrable Securities,
immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay the liquidated damages
then due. The liquidated damages amount due shall be payable in the same manner
as interest payments on the Notes on each interest payment date to the record
Holder entitled to receive the interest payment to be made on such date as set
forth in the Indenture.

5. GAMING CONSENTS.

and the Guarantors shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their Special Counsel, each
Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters, if any, and their
counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall make available for
inspection by such Persons, copies of all such documents (including copies of
any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto)
proposed to be filed and such financial and other information and books and
records of the Issuers and the Guarantors, as shall be necessary, in the opinion
of Special Counsel and the respective counsels to such Participating
Broker-Dealers and underwriters, to conduct a reasonable due diligence
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and (C) the Issuers and
the Guarantors shall cause the members, managers, officers, directors and

within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Issuers and the Guarantors may
require each Holder to agree in writing to keep confidential any non-public
information relating to the Issuers and the Guarantors received by such Holder,
to refrain from using such information as the basis for any market transactions
in the securities of the Issuers and not to disclose such information (other
than to an affiliate or prospective purchaser who agrees in writing to respect
the confidentiality provisions of this Section 6(a)) until such information has
been made generally available to the public unless the release of such
information is required by law or necessary to respond to inquiries of
regulatory authorities. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not file any

Counsel, any Participating Broker-Dealer or the managing underwriters, if any,
or their counsel shall reasonably object to such filing within five Business
Days after receipt of the Issuers' notice of filing described above in this

filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as
applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of
the Securities Act.

connection therewith, effect such changes to such indenture as may be required
for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA;
and execute, and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such
trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and
all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such
indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

                                       15

hereby; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus
supplement required by Applicable Law, and as so supplemented to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the
Securities Act, and comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable,
under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply in all material respects
with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable
thereto with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement, as so amended, or in such Prospectus, as so
supplemented, in accordance with the intended methods of distribution set forth
in such Registration Statement, as so amended, and such Prospectus, as so
supplemented.

     (d) Furnish to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so
request (i) upon the Issuers' and the Guarantors' receipt, a copy of the order
of the SEC declaring such Registration Statement and any post-effective

Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each
case including any documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits

of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each

amendments and supplements required to be filed pursuant to Section 6(c) and any
documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits thereto, including
exhibits incorporated by reference), as any such Person may reasonably request.
The Issuers and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance with
Applicable Law) of the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders of Registrable
Securities and by each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and
the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers (if any), in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by, or the sale by
Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Securities pursuant to, such
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

to be true and correct in any material respect, (iv) of the receipt by the
Issuers or any of the Guarantors of any notification with respect to the

Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange
Securities to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in
any jurisdiction, or the contemplation, initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event that makes any
statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to be
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any additions to
or changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
not misleading, (vi) of the Issuers' and the Guarantors' reasonable

qualification) of, Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration
Statement for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating
Broker-Dealer or the managing underwriters reasonably request in writing; and,

Issuers and the Guarantors shall cause their respective counsel to perform Blue
Sky investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be
filed pursuant to this Section 6(f) at the expense of the Issuers and the
Guarantors; keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required
to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things necessary or
advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Securities
covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that none
of the Issuers or the Guarantors shall be required to (i) register or qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified,
(ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (iii) take any action that would
subject it to general taxation in respect of doing business in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

     (g) Use their respective reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or preventing
or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or

securing the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under the Notes and
the Indenture immediately prior to the consummation of such Exchange Offer or
Private Exchange, as the case may be.

     (q) If an Exchange Offer or Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon
delivery of the Registrable Securities by such Holders to the Issuers and the
Guarantors (or to such other Person as directed by the Issuers and the

Securities, as the case may be, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall mark, or

by the Issuers and the Guarantors that offers or sales in a particular
jurisdiction may be resumed, or that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be
resumed, as the case may be, and has received copies of any amendments or
supplements thereto. If so directed by the Issuers in such notice, each Holder
and each Participating Broker-Dealer will deliver to the Issuers (at the

<PAGE>

the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall, without limitation as to time,
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each Participating Broker-Dealer,
each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (any of such persons being hereinafter
referred to as a "CONTROLLING PERSON")) each such Holder and any such
Participating Broker-Dealer and the members, managers, officers, directors,
partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Holder,
Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person (collectively, the "HOLDER
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation,
costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (including,
without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing)
(collectively, "LOSSES"), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related
to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, except insofar as such Losses are based upon information relating to
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the
Issuers and the Guarantors by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer
expressly for use therein; provided, that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall
not be liable under the indemnity provided in this Section 8(a) to any Holder
Indemnified Party to the extent that such Loss results solely from an untrue
statement of a material fact contained in, or the omission of a material fact
from, any preliminary prospectus, which untrue statement or omission was
corrected in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) if it shall have
been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment that (i) such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer sold the Securities
concerned to the person alleging such Loss and failed to send or give, at or
prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus (as
then amended or supplemented), if required by law to have so delivered it, and
(ii) the Issuers had previously furnished copies of such corrected Prospectus to
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer within a reasonable amount of time
prior to such sale or such confirmation, and (iii) the corrected Prospectus, if
delivered, would have been a complete defense against the person asserting such
Loss. The Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall also indemnify underwriters,
selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, their members, managers, officers,

                                       25
<PAGE>

directors, agents and employees and each of their respective controlling persons
to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Holder Indemnified Parties.

     (b) Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection
with any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, Prospectus or form of
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in which a Holder is
participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Issuers and the Guarantors in
writing such information as the Issuers and the Guarantors reasonably request
for use in connection with any such Registration Statement, preliminary
prospectus, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement
thereto, and shall, severally and not jointly, without limitation as to time,
indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and the Guarantors, their respective
members, managers, directors, officers, agents and employees, each controlling
person of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors and the members, managers,
directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the
fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising
out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, Prospectus
or form of prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact is contained in
or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the
Issuers and the Guarantors expressly for use in any Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be
greater in amount than such Holder's Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined
below).

     (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), such indemnified party shall promptly notify the party or
parties from which such indemnification is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTIES")
in writing; provided, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying parties
shall not relieve the indemnifying parties from any obligation or liability
except to the extent (but only to the extent) that it shall be finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not
subject to appeal) that the indemnifying

                                       26
<PAGE>

parties have been prejudiced materially by such failure.

     The indemnifying parties shall have the right, exercisable by giving
written notice to an indemnified party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of
written notice from such indemnified party of such Proceeding, to assume, at
their expense, the defense of any such Proceeding; provided, that an indemnified
party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and
to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless: (i) the
indemnifying parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the
indemnifying parties shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and one or
more indemnifying parties (or any affiliates or controlling persons of any of
the indemnifying parties), and such indemnified party shall have been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such indemnified
party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to
the indemnifying party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case,
if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying parties in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying parties,
the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof
and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
the indemnifying parties; it being understood, however, that, the indemnifying
parties shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate
local counsel) at any time for such indemnified party).

     No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such
Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written
consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such
Proceeding, each indemnifying party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the
exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each
indemnified party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such
settlement or judgment. The indemnifying party shall not consent to the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each
indemnified party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party, from all liability in respect of such Proceeding for
which such

                                       27
<PAGE>

indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not
any indemnified party is a party thereto).

     (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold such indemnified
party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise
apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section
8), then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses,
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party,
on the other hand, from their sale of Registrable Securities, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by Applicable Law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in
connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such
Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and indemnified party, on the
other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such
indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or
expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent
such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) was available to such
party.

     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), an indemnifying party that
is a selling Holder shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any
amount in excess of such Holder's Maximum Contribution Amount. A selling
Holder's "MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT" shall equal the excess, if any, of
(i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such

                                       28
<PAGE>

indemnification obligation over (ii) the aggregate amount of damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to contribute pursuant to
this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount
of the Registrable Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. The
Issuers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are joint and
several.

     The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are
in addition to any liability that the indemnifying parties otherwise may have to
the indemnified parties.

9. RULE 144 AND RULE 144A.

     Each of the Issuers covenants that (a) during any period that it is
required to file reports under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, it shall
file all reports required to be filed by it in a timely manner in order to
permit resales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and (b) during any period that it is not required to file such
reports, it shall, upon the request of any Holder, make available to each Holder
or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities and to any prospective purchaser
of Registrable Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner the
information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to permit
resales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144A. Each of the Issuers
shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the
exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A. Upon the request of any Holder,
each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether such Issuer or Guarantor has complied with such
information requirements. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to require
the Issuers to register any Securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

10. UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS.

     If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are
to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment
bankers

                                       29
<PAGE>

and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable
Securities included in such offering with the consent of the Issuers, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless
such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled
hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by either of the Issuers or any of
the Guarantors of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in
the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchaser, in the Purchase
Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Issuers and the
Guarantors agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by either of the Issuers or any of the
Guarantors of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree
that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such
breach, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall waive the defense that a remedy at
law would be adequate.

     (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers and the Guarantors have not
entered into, as of the date hereof, and shall not enter into, after the date of
this Agreement, any agreement with respect to any of their respective securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

     (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
unless the Issuers have obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a
majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Registrable
Securities; provided, that Sections 4(a) and 8 shall not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from this proviso may not be
given,

                                       30
<PAGE>

unless the Issuers have obtained the written consent of each Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of
Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and
that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be
given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration
Statement; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended,
modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence.

     (d) Notices. All notices and other communications (including, without
limitation, any notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or

     Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be
concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee under the
Indenture at the address specified in the Indenture.

     (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto,
including without limitation and without the need for an express assignment,
subsequent Holders; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any
assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation
of the terms hereof or of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any
transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be
held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding
such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have
agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and,
if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such Person shall be entitled to
receive the benefits hereof.

     (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. When
a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, paragraph, subparagraph,
Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall mean a Section, paragraph,
subparagraph, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
The words "INCLUDE," "INCLUDES," and "INCLUDING" when used in this Agreement
shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words "WITHOUT LIMITATION."
The phrases "THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT," "THE DATE HEREOF," and terms of
similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer
to December 6, 2001. The words "HEREOF," "HEREIN," "herewith," "HEREBY" and
"HEREUNDER" and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be
construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement.

     (h) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED, AND
THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL

                                       32
<PAGE>

BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW AND RULE 327(b) OF NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULES. EACH
ISSUER AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY
NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK
OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK
IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY,
GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH ISSUER
AND EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY
DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH ISSUER AND
EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO
SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH ISSUER OR SUCH GUARANTOR,
AS THE CASE MAY BE, AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF
THE INITIAL PURCHASER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR
TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST EITHER OF THE ISSUERS
OR ANY OF THE GUARANTORS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

     (i) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their respective best efforts

                                       33
<PAGE>

to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the
same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the
parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants
and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

     (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein,
with respect to the registration rights granted by the Issuers and the
Guarantors in respect of securities sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the
parties with respect to such subject matter.

     (k) Attorneys' Fees. In any Proceeding brought to enforce any provision of
this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense,
the prevailing party, as determined by the courts, shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to its costs and expenses and any other
available remedy.

     (l) Securities Held by Either of the Issuers or their Respective
Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified
percentage of the principal amount of Registrable Securities is required
hereunder, Registrable Securities held by either of the Issuers or their
respective affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) (other than Holders deemed to be such affiliates solely by reason of their
holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining
whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required
percentage.
