("ACADIAN"), AIR EVAC SERVICES, INC. ("AIR EVAC"), EVANGELINE AIRMOTIVE, INC.

COLLECTIVELY, AND INTERCHANGEABLY AS "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS"), AND WHITNEY
NATIONAL BANK ("Whitney"). For convenience of reference, Whitney may hereinafter
sometimes be referred to as "BANK". This Agreement refers to all present and
future loans collectively as the "LOANS", with each separate advance of funds
being a "LOAN".

A.       THE LOAN OR LOANS. Provided PHI performs all obligations in favor of
         Bank contained in this Agreement and in any other agreement, whether
         now existing or hereafter arising:

                  Bank shall make available to PHI a secured revolving line of
                  credit (the "REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT") in the principal
                  amount of FIFTY MILLION AND NO/100 ($50,000,000.00) DOLLARS,
                  that may be drawn upon by PHI on any business day of Bank
                  during the period hereof until and including July 31, 2004, on
                  at least one day's telephonic notice to Bank. The Revolving
                  Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a commercial note,
                  payable to Bank (the "NOTE") and shall contain additional
                  terms and conditions and be identified with this Agreement.

                  A sublimit of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 ($5,000,000.00) DOLLARS
                  is hereby established for the issuance of letters of credit
                  with a maturity not exceeding that of the Note, which may be
                  issued by Bank upon application by PHI.

B.       USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds from the Revolving Line of Credit are to
         refinance existing debt and/or for capital expenditures, and for
         general corporate purposes. PHI is not engaged in the business of
         extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock
         (within the meaning of Regulation U). No proceeds of any advance will
         be used to purchase or carry any margin stock.

C.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. PHI represents, warrants and
         covenants to Bank that as of the date hereof and so long as the Loans
         shall be outstanding, except for matters that could not reasonably be
         expected to have a material adverse effect on PHI:

         (1)      ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. PHI is a Louisiana corporation
                  which is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
                  under Louisiana law. PHI's execution, delivery and performance
                  of this Agreement and all other documents delivered to Bank
                  has been duly authorized and does not violate its articles of
                  incorporation (or other governing documents), material
                  contracts or any applicable law or regulations.

         (2)      COMPLIANCE WITH TAX AND OTHER LAWS.

                  (a)      PHI shall comply with all laws that are applicable to
                           its business activities, including, without
                           limitation, all laws regarding (i) the collection,
                           payment and deposit of employees' income,
                           unemployment, Social Security, sales and excise
                           taxes; (ii) the filing of returns and payment of
                           taxes; (iii) pension liabilities including ERISA
                           requirements, (iv) environmental protection, and (iv)
                           occupational safety and health.

                  (b)      PHI shall not permit or suffer any violation of any
                           Environmental Law (as defined below) affecting the
                           property it owns or leases, (collectively, the
                           "PROPERTY"), and agrees that upon discovery, or in
                           the event, of any discharge, spill, injection,
                           escape, emission, disposal, leak or any other release
                           of hazardous substances on, in, under, onto or from
                           the Property, which is not authorized by a currently
                           valid permit or other approval issued by the
                           appropriate governmental agencies, promptly notify
                           Bank, and the appropriate governmental agencies, and
                           shall take all steps necessary to promptly clean-up
                           such discharge, spill, injection, escape, emission,
                           disposal, leak or any other release in accordance
                           with the provisions of all applicable Environmental
                           Laws, and shall receive a certification from the
                           Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality or
                           federal

<PAGE>

                           Environmental Protection Agency, that the Property
                           and any other property affected has been cleaned-up
                           to the satisfaction of those agencies. The terms
                           "Environmental Law" or "Environmental Laws" as used
                           in this Agreement include any and all current and
                           future federal, state and local environmental laws,
                           statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances, as the
                           same shall be amended and modified from time to time,
                           including but not limited to the federal
                           Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
                           and Liability Act, as amended from time to time, the
                           Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as
                           amended from time to time, and the federal Toxic
                           Substances Control Act, as amended from time to time.

         (3)      OFFERING MEMORANDUM, NOTES, AND INDENTURE. The Loans to be
                  made to PHI under, and the terms and conditions of, this
                  Agreement do not violate the offering memorandum (the
                  "Offering Memorandum") dated April 17, 2002, respecting
                  promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of TWO
                  HUNDRED MILLION AND NO/100 ($200,000,000.00) DOLLARS, and
                  additional promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount
                  of TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION AND NO/100
                  ($275,000,000.00) DOLLARS, under an Indenture dated as of
                  April 23, 2002, among PHI, the Guarantors (as defined in the
                  Offering Memorandum), and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, or
                  any other document executed or to be executed in connection
                  therewith, as all of the foregoing may be amended from time to
                  time (individually, collectively, and interchangeably, the
                  "Indenture Notes and Documents").

         (4)      LITIGATION. To the best of PHI's knowledge, after due inquiry,
                  no litigation or governmental proceedings are pending or
                  threatened against PHI or any of its subsidiaries, the results
                  of which might materially affect PHI or such subsidiaries'
                  financial condition or operations. Other than any liability
                  incident to such litigation or proceedings or provided for or
                  disclosed in the financial statements submitted to Bank, PHI
                  does not have any material contingent liabilities. No
                  subsidiaries have any material contingent liability other than
                  those imposed by the security documents granted by PHI in
                  favor of Whitney and the Indenture Notes and Documents.

         (5)      PENSION PLANS. Each of PHI and its subsidiaries are in
                  compliance with all statutes and governmental rules and
                  regulations applicable to it, including, without limitation,
                  the Employee Reimbursement Income Security Act of 1974, as
                  amended ("ERISA"). No Termination Event (as defined herein)
                  has occurred with respect to any Plan (as defined herein),
                  and, except for any failure that could not reasonably be
                  expected to cause a material adverse change, each Plan has
                  complied with and been administered in all material respects
                  in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the
                  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), and no
                  condition exists or event or transaction has occurred in
                  connection with any Plan, maintained by PHI or its
                  subsidiaries, which could result in PHI or its subsidiaries
                  incurring any material liabilities, fine, or penalty. No
                  "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of
                  ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Plan and there has
                  been no excise tax imposed with respect to any Plan under
                  Section 4971 of the Code. The present value of all benefits
                  vested under each Plan (based on the assumptions used to fund
                  such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date
                  applicable thereto, exceed the value of the assets of such
                  Plan allocable to such vested benefits in any amount that
                  would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse
                  change. Based upon GAAP existing as of the effective date of
                  this agreement and current factual circumstances, PHI has no
                  reason to believe that the annual cost during the term of this
                  Agreement to PHI for post-retirement benefits to be provided
                  to the current and former employees of PHI under welfare
                  benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) could, in
                  the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a material
                  adverse change.

                  For purposes of this section, the term "Plan" means an
                  employee benefit plan covered by Title IV of ERISA or subject
                  to minimum funding standards under Section 412 of the Code and
                  the term "Termination Event" means (a) the occurrence of a
                  reportable event with respect to a Plan, as described in
                  Section 4043 of ERISA and the regulations issued thereunder
                  (other than a reportable event not subject to the provision
                  for 30-day notice to the PBGC under such regulations); (b) the
                  giving of a notice of intent to terminate a Plan under Section
                  4041(c) of ERISA; (c) the institution of proceedings to
                  terminate a Plan by the PBGC; or (d) any other event or
                  condition which constitutes grounds under Section 4042 of
                  ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee
                  to administer, any Plan.

         (6)      FINANCIAL INFORMATION. From the date of this Agreement and so
                  long as the Loans shall be outstanding, unless compliance
                  shall have been waived in writing by Bank, PHI shall furnish
                  to Bank:

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (a)      promptly after the sending or filing thereof, copies
                           of all reports which PHI sends to any of its public
                           security holders, and copies of all Forms 10-K, 10-Q
                           and 8-K, Schedules 13E-4 (including all exhibits
                           filed therewith) and registration statements, and any
                           other filings or statements that PHI files with the
                           Securities and Exchange Commission or any national
                           securities exchange;

                  (b)      together with all Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, a
                           certificate of the president or chief financial
                           officer of PHI to the effect that no Default with
                           respect to PHI, or event which might mature into a
                           Default with respect to PHI, has occurred;

                  (c)      upon the occurrence of a Default, a certificate of
                           the president or chief financial officer of PHI
                           specifying the nature and the period of existence
                           thereof and what action PHI proposes to take with
                           respect thereto;

                  (d)      written notice of any and all litigation affecting
                           PHI, directly or indirectly; provided, however, this
                           requirement shall not apply to litigation involving
                           PHI and any other party if such litigation involves,
                           in the aggregate, less than $500,000; and

                  (e)      from time to time, such other information as Bank may
                           reasonably request.

         (7)      INSURANCE. Each of PHI and its subsidiaries shall maintain,
                  with financially sound and reputable insurance companies
                  workmen's compensation insurance, liability insurance and
                  insurance on PHI's and its subsidiaries' property, assets and
                  business at least to such extent and against such hazards and
                  liabilities as is commonly maintained by similar companies
                  and, in addition to the foregoing insurance, such insurance as
                  may be reasonably required by Bank. In the case of property
                  (whether owned by PHI or its subsidiaries) on which Bank has a
                  lien, PHI shall provide Bank with duplicate originals or
                  certified copies of such policies of insurance naming Bank as
                  additional mortgages-loss payee and as additional insured as
                  its interests may appear, and providing that such policies
                  will not be canceled without thirty (30) days' prior written
                  notice to Bank.

         (8)      FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND RATIOS.

                  (a)      CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT RATIO. PHI will not at any
                           time permit the ratio of consolidated current assets
                           to consolidated current liabilities to be less than
                           2.00 to 1.00;

                  (b)      FUNDED DEBT/NET WORTH. PHI will not at any time after
                           June 30, 2002, permit the ratio of Funded Debt
                           (defined as all indebtedness under this Agreement
                           plus the amount of any capital or operating leases
                           and any other monetary obligation payable over time)
                           to PHI's consolidated net worth to be more than 2.50
                           to 1.00.

                  (c)      CONSOLIDATED NET WORTH. From and after the date of
                           this Agreement through December 31, 2002, PHI, shall
                           not at any time, permit its consolidated net worth,
                           to be less than NINETY MILLION ($90,000,000.00)
                           DOLLARS. From and after December 31, 2002, PHI shall
                           not, at any time permit consolidated net worth to be
                           less than ONE HUNDRED MILLION ($100,000,000.00)
                           DOLLARS.

         (9)      MERGERS, ETC. Without the prior written consent of Bank, PHI
                  shall not consolidate with, or merge into, any other
                  corporation, or permit any other corporation to merge into it,
                  or sell or lease all, or substantially all, of its assets, or
                  acquire all or a substantial part of the assets or capital
                  stock of any other partnership, firm or corporation, or enter
                  into any other transaction that would substantially alter the
                  balance sheet of PHI. PHI will not permit any material changes
                  to be made in the character of its business as carried on at
                  the date of this Agreement.

         (10)     STOCK REDEMPTION. PHI will not purchase, retire or redeem any
                  shares of its capital stock (other than pursuant to executive
                  or employee compensation plans) without the prior written
                  consent of Bank.

         (11)     INDEBTEDNESS AND LIENS. Except as contemplated in this
                  Agreement and as permitted in the Indenture Notes and
                  Documents, neither PHI nor any of its subsidiaries (i) shall
                  create any additional obligations for borrowed money, or (ii)
                  mortgage or encumber any of their assets or suffer any liens
                  or indebtedness to exist on any of their assets.

                  or otherwise become contingently liable in connection with the

                  corporation.

         (13)     CHANGE OF CONTROL. Without the prior written consent of
                  Whitney, there shall not be a Change of Control (as defined in

         (14)     ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION. Upon the written request of Bank,
                  PHI shall promptly and duly execute and deliver all such
                  further instruments and documents and take such further action
                  as Bank, may deem reasonably necessary to obtain the full
                  benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers
                  granted in this Agreement.

         (15)     NOTICE OF DEFAULT. PHI shall notify Bank immediately upon
                  becoming aware of the occurrence of any event constituting, or
                  which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, could
                  constitute, a Default.

         (16)     INDEMNITY. PHI shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its
                  respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and
                  employees harmless from and against all claims, demands,
                  causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
                  (including, without limitation, costs of suit, reasonable
                  legal fees and fees of expert witnesses) arising from or in
                  connection with (a) the presence in, on or under any property
                  of PHI (including, without limitation, the Property) of any
                  hazardous substance or solid waste, or any releases or
                  discharges (as the terms "release" and "discharge" are defined
                  under any applicable environmental law) of any hazardous
                  substance or solid waste on, under or from such property, (b)
                  any activity carried on or undertaken on or off such property
                  of PHI, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement,
                  and whether PHI or any predecessor in title to PHI's property
                  or any officers, employees, agents, contractors or
                  subcontractors of PHI or any predecessor in title to the
                  property of PHI, or any third persons at any time occupying or
                  present on such property, in connection with the handling,
                  use, generation, manufacture, treatment, removal, storage,
                  decontamination, clean-up, transportation or disposal of any
                  hazardous substance or solid waste at any time located or
                  present on or under any of the aforedescribed property, or (c)
                  any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under
                  the terms of this Agreement or applicable security agreements.
                  The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual
                  contamination on or under any or all of the aforedescribed
                  property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any
                  contamination of any property or natural resources arising in
                  connection with the use, handling, storage, transportation or
                  disposal of any hazardous substance or solid waste, and
                  irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be
                  undertaken in accordance with applicable laws, regulations,
                  codes and ordinances. The indemnity described in this Section
                  shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason
                  whatsoever.

D.       COLLATERAL. As security for payment and performance of the Loans, PHI
         will provide to Bank security for all of its obligations due to Bank,
         whether now existing or hereafter arising, through valid recorded
         security documents creating a first lien and security interest in all
         of PHI and its subsidiaries' inventory, including Parts (as herein
         defined), and Eligible Receivables (as defined herein) supported by a
         Borrowing Base Certificate (as herein defined) delivered monthly to
         Bank in form satisfactory to Bank.

         "Borrowing Base Certificate" means a report to Bank by the President or
         Chief Financial Officer certifying the level of borrowing authorized
         under this Agreement which is and shall be an amount (not exceeding
         $50,000,000) equal to the sum of (a) 80% of the amount of Eligible
         Receivables (defined as trade receivables less than 90 days of age) of
         PHI and its subsidiaries in which Bank shall have a valid perfected
         first priority security interest, plus (b) 50% of the value of Parts of
         PHI and its subsidiaries (valued at the lower of average cost or
         market), in which Bank shall have a valid perfected first priority
         security interest. For the purpose of this section, the term "Parts"
         means, until installed in any aviation unit, all aircraft engines,
         propellers, rotors, appliances, tires, airframes, spare parts, radios
         and other communication equipment together with all other aircraft
         appliances, instruments, mechanisms, appurtenances, accessories and
         parts or components thereof, of such person wherever maintained, now or
         hereafter existing, whether acquired by purchase or otherwise and
         whether held by such person for use in its business or held by such
         person for sale or lease or to be furnished by such person under
         contracts of service, and all proceeds thereof and accessories thereto.

E.       EACH EXTENSION OF CREDIT. Each request by PHI for a Loan shall
         constitute a warranty and representation by PHI to Bank that there
         exists no Default or any condition, event or act which constitutes, or
         with notice or lapse of time (or both) would constitute a Default as
         defined by this Agreement.

F.       GUARANTIES. The Revolving Line of Credit shall be guaranteed by each of
         the Subsidiary Guarantors.

                                       4

G.       RATE OF INTEREST AND APPLICABLE FEES. Borrowing made pursuant to the
         Note shall accrue interest at Whitney Prime rate and may be advanced or
         repaid at any time upon one day's notice, interest shall be payable
         quarterly; or in the alternative, LIBOR borrowings may be arranged for
         fixed periods of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days with interest payable at the
         respective maturity at the LIBOR rate as quoted on the business day
         prior to borrowing plus an applicable margin as follows:

                  o        300 points when Funded Debt to Net Worth equals or
                           exceeds 150%

                  o        250 points when Funded Debt to Net Worth is between
                           125% and 150%

                  o        200 points when Funded Debt to Net Worth equals or is
                           less than 125%

         as calculated by referring to the last 10-K or 10-Q filing.

         As used in this Agreement the term "Whitney Prime" shall mean the rate
         of interest as recorded by Whitney from time to time as its prime
         lending rate with the rate of interest to change when and as such prime
         lending rate changes.

         As used in this Agreement the term "LIBOR" shall mean the London
         Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for the referenced rate period as set
         and published as of the first day of each month by the British Banker's
         Association ("BBA") and obtained by Bank from a wire that is sent
         through Bloomberg, L.P. which rate is based by BBA on an average of the
         Interbank offered rates for dollar deposits in the London market based
         on quotes from designated banks in the London market, provided,
         however, that Bank reserves the right to adjust the LIBOR rate by the
         percentage, if any, that may be specified by the Board Of Governors of
         the Federal Reserve system (or an successor), from time to time, for
         determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, but not limited
         to, any marginal reserve requirement) with respect to liabilities
         consisting of or including "Eurocurrency Liabilities" (as defined in
         Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system).
         In determining the percentage for the LIBOR reserve requirement, Bank
         may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

         Unused fees on the daily amount undrawn under the Revolving Line of
         Credit shall accrue at the rate of 3/8 of 1% per annum payable
         quarterly.

         Any letters of credit issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear
         interest at 1/8 of 1% per month on any part thereof, plus standard
         issuing fees.

         Upon PHI's execution of this Agreement, PHI shall pay to Bank a fee for
         its commitment of 1/4 of 1% of $50,000,000.00.

H.       PREPAYMENT AND REDUCTION. Any advance may be prepaid in any amount at
         any time, and PHI may incrementally reduce or cancel the Revolving Line
         of Credit at any time without penalty upon giving Bank one day's
         notice.

I.       CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LOAN. Bank shall have no obligation to advance
         funds under this Agreement until and unless the following conditions
         have been satisfied:

         (1)      Bank shall have received this agreement and all collateral
                  documents contemplated by this Agreement in form and substance

                  Financial Officer containing a description of assets owned by
                  each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and certifying that each of
                  the Subsidiary Guarantors is free of liabilities except as
                  disclosed in the Certificate;

         (2)      Bank shall have received satisfactory opinions of counsel
                  relating, among other things, to due authorization and
                  enforceability of this Agreement, the Loans and all
                  collateral;

         (3)      All representations and warranties made by PHI to Bank shall
                  be true and correct as of the date of the Loans' funding;

                  a condition satisfactory to Bank, the management and ownership
                  of PHI must not have changed and no material adverse change
                  (from that reflected in the last financial statements
                  delivered to, and accepted by, Bank prior to execution of this
                  Agreement) has occurred in the financial condition of PHI; and

         (5)      There exists no Default (or event which with notice or lapse
                  of time or both could constitute a Default) under this
                  Agreement or any other agreement between PHI and Bank.

                                       5

J.       DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
         shall constitute a default (a "DEFAULT") under this Agreement:

         (1)      A default under a note evidencing a Loan;

         (2)      The failure of PHI to observe or perform promptly when due any
                  covenant, agreement or obligation due to Bank under this
                  Agreement or otherwise;

         (3)      The inaccuracy at any time, in any material respect, of any
                  warranty, representation or statement made to Bank by PHI
                  under this Agreement or otherwise;

         (4)      the filing by or against PHI of a proceeding for bankruptcy,
                  reorganization, arrangement, or any other relief afforded
                  debtors or affecting the rights of creditors generally under
                  the law of any state or country or under the United States
                  Bankruptcy Code;

         (5)      should any default occur in any other material credit

                  limitation, the Indenture Notes and Documents;

Upon the occurrence of a Default, except for payment of principal at maturity,
and such Default continues for a period of fifteen (15) days, after Bank has
mailed written notice of such Default to PHI specifying the nature of the
Default and the steps necessary to cure the Default (but with no notice or delay
required in the event of a Default under paragraphs (1) and (5) of Section (J),
Bank, at its option, may declare all of the Loans and all other obligations of
PHI to Bank to be immediately due and payable without further notice.

K.       CONSENT TO PARTICIPATION. Bank may sell all or a portion of its
         interest in the Loans and the security therefor. Bank shall give PHI
         notice of any sale of all or a portion of its interests in the Loans,
         upon which PHI shall perform all of its obligations hereunder in favor
         of each participant or assignee as though such participant or assignee
         were a party or parties to this Agreement.

L.       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. PHI agrees to pay all of the costs, expenses
         and fees incurred in connection with the Loans, including attorneys
         fees, appraisal fees, and environmental assessment fees. This Agreement

         rely on this Agreement. In no event shall PHI or Bank be liable to the
         other for indirect, special or consequential damages, including the
         loss of anticipated profits that may arise out of or are in any way
         connected with the issuance of this Agreement. This Agreement, all
         promissory notes evidencing Loans under this Agreement and all
         documents creating security interests shall be governed by Louisiana
         law.

                                    THE NOTES

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating.
              ---------------

         (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication
             -------
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have
                                      ----------------
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall
be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

         The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However,
to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of
this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.

         (b) Global Notes. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of
             ------------
three or more permanent global Notes (the "Global Notes"). Notes offered and
sold (i) in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one
or more permanent Global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A (the "Rule 144A Global Note") (ii) to a limited number of
         ---------

                                       -28-

<PAGE>

institutional accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) of the Securities Act in a transaction exempt for the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, shall be issued initially in the form of one
or more permanent Global Notes in the registered form, substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit A (the "IAI Global Note") and (iii) in offshore
             ---------
transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form
of one or more permanent global Notes in registered form, substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A (the "Regulation S Global Note"). Global Notes shall
                  ---------
be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global
Note Legend). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend). Each Global
Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein
and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate
principal 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 aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of
the Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Holder thereof
as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

         (c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of
             -----------------------------------------------
the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and Conditions
Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of
Clearstream" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream shall be applicable to
transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held
by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication.
              ----------------------------

         One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that
office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be
valid. A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile
signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. The Trustee shall, upon a
written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an "Authentication Order"),
authenticate Notes for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount of
$180,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time
may not exceed such amount except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof. In
addition, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate Series B Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the
principal amount of the then outstanding Series A Notes for issuance in exchange
for all Series A Notes previously issued pursuant to an Exchange Offer
registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to a Private Exchange. The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.
              --------------------------

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more addi-

                                       -29-

<PAGE>

tional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the
term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change
any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party
to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Company initially
appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depository with respect to the
Global Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar
and Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
              -----------------------------------

         The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium or Liquidation Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, and
shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any
such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment
over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a
Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust
fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon
any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the
Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists.
              ------------

         The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the
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 and the
Company shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a).

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.
              ---------------------

         Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16, when Notes are
presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the
transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount
of Notes of other authorized denominations of the same series, the Registrar or
co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if
its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of
transfer and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes at the Registrar's or
co-Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge in connection therewith
payable by the transferor of such Notes (other than any such transfer taxes or
similar governmental charge payable upon

                                       -30-

<PAGE>

exchanges or transfers pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.07, 3.09, 4.11, 4.14,
4.16 or 8.07, in which event the Company shall be responsible for the payment of
such taxes).

         The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or
exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of 15 Business
Days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in
whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any
Note being redeemed in part.

         Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note,
agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be
effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such
Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the
Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes.
              -----------------

         If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder
presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee that the
Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a
replacement Note. An indemnity bond may be required by the Company or the
Trustee that is sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to
protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them
may suffer if a Note is replaced. In every case of destruction, loss or theft,
the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or the theft of such Note and the
ownership thereof. Each of the Company and the Trustee may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Note. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed
or wrongfully taken Note has become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement
thereof. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to replacement
or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

         Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes.
              -----------------

         Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the
Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

         If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated
Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Company
and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced
Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding
upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

         If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds
U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the
Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the
Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that
date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

                                       -31-

<PAGE>

SECTION 2.09.   Treasury Notes.
                --------------

         In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes owned by
the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes which a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so
considered. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when it or any of
its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate
principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes.
              ---------------

         Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of a written
order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate. The Officers'
Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and
the date on which the temporary Notes are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt
of an Authentication Order pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Notes in exchange
for temporary Notes.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation.
              ------------

         The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying
Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the
Company, dispose of and deliver evidence of such disposal of all Notes
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation.
Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes
that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company
shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless
and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to
this Section 2.11.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest.
              ------------------

         The Company shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest
in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate
equal to 2% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the
Notes to the extent lawful. The Company shall pay interest (including Accrued
Bankruptcy Interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any
applicable grace period) at the rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the then
applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful.

         If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall
pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on
the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special
Record Date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed
by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding

                                       -32-

<PAGE>

Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before the
subsequent special Record Date, the Company shall mail to each Holder, as of a
recent date selected by the Company, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that
states the subsequent special Record Date, the payment date and the amount of
defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to
be paid.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the
expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(1) shall be paid to
Holders as of the Record Date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest
has not been paid.

SECTION 2.13. Deposit of Monies.
              -----------------

         Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Change of Control Purchase Date and Maturity Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. legal
tender sufficient to make payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Change of Control Purchase Date or Maturity Date, as the case
may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the
Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control
Purchase Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest
on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case
may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes
represented thereby. The principal and interest on Notes in certificated form
shall be payable at the office of the Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP Number.
              ------------

         The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more "CUSIP" numbers,
and if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or
exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number.

SECTION 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
              --------------------------------------

         (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of
the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the
Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in
Section 2.17.

         Members of, or Participants in, the Depository ("Agent Members") shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on
their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Note, and the Depository may
be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any Agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository
or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder.

         (b) Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be
transferred or exchanged for Certificated Notes in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the Depository and the

                                       -33-

<PAGE>

provisions of Section 2.16. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred
to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global
Notes if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depository for any Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a
clearing company registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such
notice or (ii) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depository to issue
Certificated Notes.

         (c) In connection with the transfer of Global Notes as an entirety to
beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Notes shall be deemed to
be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and
deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in
exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate
principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

         (d) Any Certificated Note constituting a Restricted Security delivered
in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c)
shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement
Legend.

         (e) The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold
interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled
to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

SECTION 2.16. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
              ---------------------------------------

         (a) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. When Certificated
             -------------------------------------------
Notes are presented to the Registrar or co-Registrar with a request:

          (i) to register the transfer of the Certificated Notes; or

          (ii) to exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount
     of Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or
     co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested
     if the requirements under this Indenture as set forth in this Section 2.16
     for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Certificated
     Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:

          (I) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
     transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly
     executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing;
     and

          (II) in the case of Certificated Notes the offer and sale of which
     have not been registered under the Securities Act and are presented for
     transfer or exchange prior to (x) the date which is two years after the
     later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company
     or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Note or any
     predecessor thereto and (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by
     any subsequent change in applicable law (the "Resale Restriction
     Termination Date"), such Certificated Notes shall be ac-

                                       -34-

<PAGE>

companied, in the sole discretion of the Company, by the following additional
information and documents, as applicable:

         (A)      if such Certificated Note is being delivered to the Registrar
                  or co-Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of
                  such Holder, without transfer, a certification to that effect
                  (substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto); or

         (B)      if such Certificated Note is being transferred to a Qualified
                  Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A, a
                  certification to that effect (substantially in the form of
                  Exhibit B hereto); or

         (C)      if such Certificated Note is being transferred in reliance on
                  Regulation S, delivery of a certification to that effect
                  (substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) and a
                  transferor certificate for Regulation S transfers
                  substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto; or

         (D)      if such Certificated Note is being transferred to an
                  Institutional Accredited Investor, delivery of certification
                  to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit B
                  hereto), certificates of the transferee in substantially the
                  form of Exhibit C and, at the option of the Company, an

cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing
instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Registrar or
co-Registrar, the principal amount of Notes represented by the applicable Global
Note to be increased accordingly. If no Global Note representing Notes held by
Qualified Institutional Buyers or persons acquiring Notes in offshore

outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate such a Global

upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02,
authenticate new Global Notes of the types so canceled (or the type so canceled
and applicable type required to represent the interest as requested to be
transferred) reflecting the applicable increase and decrease of the principal
amount of Notes represented by such types of Global Notes, giving effect to such
transfer. If the applicable type of Global Note required to represent the
interest as requested to be transferred is not outstanding at the time of such
request, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate a new Global
Note of such type in principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
interest requested to be transferred.

                                   REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee.
              ------------------

         If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,
at least 45 days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) but not
more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officers' Certificate setting
forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall
occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed, (iv) the amount of any interest (including any Liquidated Damages) and
(v) the redemption price.

         In the event of a Gaming Redemption, the Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing as soon as practicable but in any event not less than 15 days
before notice of the Gaming Redemption is to be mailed to any Holder (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.
              ---------------------------------

         If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time (other
than pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof), the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
redeemed among the Holders

          (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national
     securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or,

                                       -39-

<PAGE>

          (2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in
     accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and
     appropriate;

provided that (x) no Notes of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part and (y) if
a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of any Equity Offering, the
Trustee will select the Notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro
rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of the Depository),
unless such method is otherwise prohibited. In the event of partial redemption
by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise
provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for
redemption.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of
Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not an integral
multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption
also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.
              --------------------

          At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date
(other than in connection with a Gaming Redemption), the Company shall mail or
cause to be mailed, by first class mail, an unconditional notice of redemption
to each Holder (or to the affected Holder in the case of a Gaming Redemption)
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

          In the event of a Gaming Redemption, notice of redemption shall be
given in accordance with Section 3.09.

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

          (a) the Redemption Date;

          (b) the redemption price and the amount of interest (including any
     premium or Liquidated Damages), if any;

          (c) 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 surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount
     equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued upon cancellation
     of the original Note;

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

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

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

                                       -40-

<PAGE>

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

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

           At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date (or 5 days prior to the date of any Gaming Redemption), an
Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and a copy of
the notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.
              ------------------------------

         Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
Redemption Date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be
conditional.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.
              ---------------------------

         On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent 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
promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the
Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

         If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or
the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after
an interest Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date,
then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the person in whose name
such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any
Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph,
interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until
such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on
such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in
Section 2.12 hereof.

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.
              ----------------------

         Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part (with, if the Company
or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company
shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

                                       -41-

<PAGE>

SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption.
              -------------------

         (a) At any time on or prior to March 15, 2005, the Company may on any
one or more occasion redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 111.50% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
to the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $20.0
million; provided that:

          (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued
     under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence
     of such redemption (excluding from the amount of Notes included in such 65%
     Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and

          (2) the redemption must occur within 60 days after the date of the
     consummation of such Equity Offering.

         (b) On or after March 15, 2007, the Company may redeem all or a part of
the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages,
if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the
12-month period beginning on March 15 of each of the years indicated below:

          Year                                                  Percentage

          2008................................................... 103.0%
          2009................................................... 100.0%

SECTION 3.08. No Mandatory Redemption.
              -----------------------

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

SECTION 3.09. Mandatory Disposition in Accordance with Gaming Laws.
              ----------------------------------------------------

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if
any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes be
licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law and such
Holder or beneficial owner (i) fails to apply for a license, qualification or a
finding of suitability within 30 days (or such lesser period as may be required
by the applicable Gaming Authority) after being requested to do so by the Gaming
Authority or (ii) is denied such license or qualification or not found suitable,
the Company shall have the right, at its option, (1) to require any such Holder
or beneficial owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such earlier date
as may be required by the applicable Gaming Authority) of the occurrence of the
event described in clause (i) or (ii) above or (2) to redeem the Notes of such
Holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (x) the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of the denial of license or
qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, (y)
the price at which such Holder or beneficial

                                       -42-

<PAGE>

owner acquired the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of the denial of license or
qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority and
(z) the Fair Market Value of such Notes. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.09 within 15 days prior to
any such redemption. A redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.09 is
herein referred to as a "Gaming Redemption."

         Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or
beneficial owner of the Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found
suitable, the Holder or beneficial owner will, to the extent required by
applicable law, have no further rights:

          (1) to receive any interest or dividends with respect to the Notes;

          (2) to exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right
     conferred by the Notes; or

          (3) receive any remuneration in any form for services rendered or
     otherwise.

         The Holder or beneficial owner that is required to apply for a license,

          determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error);

               (9) restrictions imposed by Gaming Authorities on the payment of
          dividends by entities holding Gaming Licenses;

               (10) Liens on the property of a person acquired at the time of
          acquisition of such person to the extent such Liens are not incurred
          or created in contemplation of the acquisition and only impose
          restrictions of the nature described in clause (a)(3) of this Section
          4.10 on the property so acquired; provided such acquired property is
          not intended or required to constitute Collateral; and

               (11) contracts with customers entered into in the ordinary course
          of business in the nature of restrictions on cash or other deposits,

Subsidiary of the Company from creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to
exist any Liens permitted by Section 4.09 hereof.

SECTION 4.11. Asset Sales.
              -----------

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, engage in Asset Sale unless:

               (1) the Company (or the Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
          consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the
          Fair Market Value of the property or Equity Interests sold or
          otherwise disposed of in such Asset Sale;

               (2) at least 80% of the consideration therefor received by the
          Company or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents;
          provided that, for purposes of this provision, each of the following
          shall be deemed to be cash:

          (A)  the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the Company's or such
               Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto,
               excluding contingent liabilities and trade payables), of the
               Company or any Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by
               their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof)
               that are assumed by the transferee of any such property; and

          (B)  any securities, notes or other obligations received by the
               Company or any such Subsidiary from such transferee that are
               substantially contemporaneously (subject to ordinary settlement
               periods) converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash
               (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion);

                                       -51-

<PAGE>

               (3) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral,
          the Company or such Subsidiary has complied with the provisions of
          Article 10 and the Net Proceeds thereof shall be paid directly by the
          purchaser of the Collateral to the Trustee for deposit into the
          Collateral Account, and, if any property other than cash or Cash
          Equivalents is included in such Net Proceeds, such property shall be
          made subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the applicable
          Collateral Documents; and

               (4) the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, applies
          the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale as provided in this Section 4.11.

         (b) The Company may, at its option, apply any such Net Proceeds within
365 days of the related Asset Sale to either (x) in the case of the Net Proceeds
of property other than Collateral, the retirement or permanent reduction of
Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under clause (1) of the definition of
Permitted Indebtedness or (y) in the case of Net Proceeds (whether or not
relating to Collateral) the acquisition of another business or the acquisition
of other long-term property, in each case, in the same or a similar line of
business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries was engaged in on the Issue
Date or any reasonable extensions or expansions thereof ("Replacement Assets");
provided, that any Replacement Assets acquired with any Net Proceeds of
Collateral shall be owned by the Company or by the Guarantor that made the Asset
Sale and shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens (and the
Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee such Collateral Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably
necessary to cause such Replacement Assets to become subject to a Lien in favor
of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, securing its
obligations under the Notes or its Guarantee, as the case may be, and otherwise
shall comply with the provisions of the Indenture applicable to After-Acquired
Property).

         (c) If the Company does not use any portion of the Net Proceeds as
described in paragraph (b) above within 365 days, such unused portion of the Net
Proceeds period shall constitute "Excess Proceeds" subject to disposition as
provided below. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0
million (such date the "Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date"), the Company will make
an offer to all Holders of Notes (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds (the "Asset Sale Offer Amount") pursuant to the terms of this
Section 4.11. The offer price of any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that
the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less
than the Excess Proceeds, remaining Excess Proceeds shall be released to the
Company and may be used free and clear of the Lien of the Collateral Documents
for general corporate purposes. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

         (d) All Net Proceeds of any Collateral in respect of any Asset Sale
shall, pending their application in accordance with this Section 4.11 or the
release thereof in accordance with Articles 10 and 11, be deposited in the
Collateral Account under this Indenture.

         (e) The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a
longer period is required by applicable law (the "Asset Sale Offer Period"). No
later than five Business Days after the termination of the

                                       -52-

<PAGE>

Asset Sale Offer Period (the "Asset Sale Purchase Date"), the Company will
purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this
Section 4.11 or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so
purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. If the
Asset Sale Purchase Date is on or after the Interest Record Date and on or
before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall
be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

               (1) (f) If the Company is required to make an Asset Sale Offer,
          the Company shall mail, within 10 days following the Asset Sale Offer
          Trigger Date, an unconditional notice to the Holders. Such notice
          shall be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee and
          to each Holder, at the address appearing in the register maintained by
          the Registrar of the Notes, and shall state:

               (2) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this
          Section 4.11;

               (3) that such Holders have the right to require the Company to
          apply the Excess Proceeds to repurchase such Notes at a purchase price
          in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
          unpaid interest, and Liquidated Damages if any, to the Asset Sale
          Purchase Date, which shall be a Business Day no later than five
          Business Days after termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period;

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

               (5) that any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset
          Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale
          Purchase Date;

               (6) that Holders accepting the offer to have their Notes
          purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer shall be required to
          surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect
          Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at
          the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on
          the Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Purchase Date;

               (7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their acceptance
          of the Asset Sale Offer if the Paying Agent receives, not later than
          the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset
          Sale Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
          letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
          the Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is
          withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

               (8) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered
          by Holders exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall
          select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
          adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only
          Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof shall
          be purchased);

               (9) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
          shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
          portion of the Notes surrendered; provided

                                       -53-

<PAGE>

     that each Note purchased and each such new Note issued shall be in an
     original principal amount in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
     thereof;

          (10) the calculations used in determining the amount of Excess
     Proceeds to be applied to the purchase of such Notes;

          (11) any other procedures that a Holder must follow to accept an Asset
     Sale Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance; and

          (12) the name and address of the Paying Agent.

          (g) On or before the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent
necessary, Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer,
or if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay
the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, and Liquidated Damages, if
any, on the Notes to be purchased or portions thereof, (3) deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers'
Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for
payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.11. The
Paying Agent shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the
Asset Sale Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount
equal to the purchase price for such Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted
by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall execute and issue, and the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, promptly authenticate
and make available for delivery to such Holder, a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each
such new Note shall be issued in an original principal amount in denominations
of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Any note not so accepted will be
promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company
shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Asset Sale
Purchase Date.

         (h) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations or Gaming Laws conflict with
the Asset Sales provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations or Gaming Laws and shall not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

SECTION 4.12. Business Activities.
              -------------------

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
engage in any business or investment activities other than a Permitted Business.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries may conduct a Permitted Business
in any gaming jurisdiction in which the Company or such Subsidiary is not
licensed on the Issue Date if the Holders of the Notes would be required to be
licensed as a result thereof; provided, however, that the provisions described
in this sentence will not prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from
conducting a Permitted Business in any jurisdiction that does not require the
licensing or qualification of all the Holders, but reserves the discretionary
right to require the licensing or qualification of any Holder. The Company will
not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business,
development or investment activity other than at

                                       -54-

all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents
(as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such
Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises
of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof will not have a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to pay the Company
Obligations when due.

              ------------------------------------------

         (a) If a Change of Control occurs, the Company shall be obligated to

Period"). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Change
of Control Offer Period, the Company will purchase all Notes tendered in

SECTION 4.15. [Reserved]

SECTION 4.16.  Events of Loss.
               --------------

         (a) In the event of an Event of Loss with respect to any Collateral
with a Fair Market Value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $1.0
million, the Company or the affected Guarantor, as the case may be, may apply
the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair,
replacement or construction of improvements to the property affected by such
Event of Loss (the "Subject Property"), with no concurrent obligation to offer
to purchase any of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company delivers to
the Trustee within 90 days of such Event of Loss:

               (1) a written opinion from a reputable contractor (as determined
          in good faith by the Company) that the Subject Property can be
          rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed, and operating within 365
          days from the date of such certification;

               (2) an Officers' Certificate certifying that the Company or the
          affected Guarantor has available from Net Loss Proceeds (including
          amounts collectible from the applicable insurance carrier) or other
          sources sufficient funds to complete the rebuilding, repair,
          replacement of construction described in clause (1) above (in the case
          of the Expansion Project) or otherwise.

         (b) Any Net Loss Proceeds that are not reinvested or not permitted to
be reinvested as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 4.16 shall be deemed
"Excess Loss Proceeds." Within ten days following the date on which the
aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million (the "Event of
Loss Offer Trigger Date"), the Company shall make an offer (an "Event of Loss
Offer") to all Holders to purchase with the proceeds of Events of Loss the
maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Loss
Proceeds. The offer price in any Event

                                       -57-

<PAGE>

of Loss Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and
shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation
of an Event of Loss Offer, the Company may use such Excess Loss Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Event of Loss
Offer exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes tendered.
Upon completion of any such Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss
Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

         (c) If the Company is required to make an Event of Loss Offer, the
Company shall mail, within 10 days following the Event of Loss Offer Trigger
Date, an unconditional notice to the Holders. Such notice shall be sent by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee and to each Holder, at the
address appearing in the register maintained by the Registrar of the Notes, and
shall state:

               (1) that the Event of Loss Offer is being made pursuant to this
          Section 4.16;

               (2) that such Holders have the right to require the Company to
          apply the Excess Loss Proceeds to repurchase such Notes at a purchase
          price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
          accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
          purchase date which shall be no earlier than 30 days and not later
          than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Excess Loss
          Proceeds Payment Date");

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

               (4) that any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Event of
          Loss Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Excess Loss
          Proceeds Payment Date;

               (5) that Holders accepting the offer to have their Notes
          purchased pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer shall be required to
          surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect
          Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at
          the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on
          the Business Day preceding the Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Date;

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

               (7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered
          by Holders exceeds the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds, the Company
          shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
          adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only
          Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, shall
          be purchased);

               (8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
          shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
          portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased
          and each such new Note issued shall be in an original principal amount
          in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof;

               (9) the calculations used in determining the amount of Excess

          Event of Loss Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance; and

               (11) the name and address of the Paying Agent.

         (d) On the Excess Loss Proceeds Payment Date, the Company shall, to the
extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent

upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and make available for
delivery to such Holder, a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased

in the Construction Disbursement Account under this Indenture; provided,
however, that any such Net Loss Proceeds will be disbursed in a manner
consistent with the Plans and the Construction Disbursement Budget. All other

         (f) With respect to any Event of Loss pursuant to clause (3) of the
definition of "Event of Loss" with respect to property that has a Fair Market
Value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $10.0 million, the Company
or the affected Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be required to receive
consideration (i) at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property
subject to the Event of Loss and (ii) with respect to any Event of Loss of any
portion of the Expansion Project, at least 90% of which is in the form of cash

long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries and (ii) any

SECTION 4.19. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance, Books and Records.
              -------------------------------------------------------

         (a) Subject to, and in compliance with, the provisions of Article 10
and the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents, the Company shall
cause all material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or
the business of any of the Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in operating
condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss
excepted) and supplied with all necessary Equipment and shall cause to be made
all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereto; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to make such repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements that would not result in a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Company and the Subsidiaries to
pay the Company Obligations or the Guarantee Obligations when due.

         (b) The Company shall maintain, and shall cause the Subsidiaries to
maintain, insurance with responsible carriers against such risks and in such
amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts and
co-insurance provisions, as are customarily carried by similar businesses of
similar size in the locations which such business is conducted. Customary
insurance coverage will be deemed to include, without limitation, the following:

               (1) workers' compensation insurance to the extent required to
          comply with all applicable state, territorial or United States laws
          and regulations, or the laws and regulations of any other applicable
          jurisdiction;

               (2) comprehensive general liability insurance;

                                       -60-

<PAGE>

               (5) property insurance protecting the property against losses or
          damages as is customarily covered by an "all-risk" policy or a
          property policy covering "special" causes or loss for a business of
          similar type and size; provided, however, that such insurance will
          provide coverage of not less than the lesser of (a) 120% of the
          outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid
          interest or (b) 100% of actual replacement value (as determined at
          each policy renewal based on recognized means) of any improvements
          customarily insured consistent with industry standards and, in each
          case, with a deductible no greater than 2% or such greater amount as
          is available on commercially reasonable terms (other than earthquake
          or flood insurance, for which the deductible may be up to 10% of such
          replacement value).

         (c) All insurance required by this Section 4.19 (except worker's
compensation and property insurance relating to property not constituting
Collateral) will name the Company and the Trustee as additional insureds or loss
payees, as the case may be, with losses in excess of $1.0 million payable
jointly to the Company and the Trustee (unless a Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is then continuing, in which case all losses are payable solely to
the Trustee), with no recourse against the Trustee for the payment of premiums,
deductibles, commissions or club calls, and for at least 30 days' notice of
cancellation.

         (d) All such insurance policies will be issued by carriers having an
A.M. Best & Company, Inc. rating of A or higher and a financial size category of
not less than X or, if such carrier is not rated by A.M. Best & Company, Inc.,
having the financial stability and size deemed appropriate by an opinion from a
reputable insurance broker.

         (e) The Company will deliver to the Trustee on the Issue Date and each
anniversary thereafter a certificate of an insurance agent describing the
insurance policies obtained by the Company and its Subsidiaries, together with
an Officers' Certificate stating that such policies comply with this Section
4.19 and the related applicable provisions of the Collateral Documents.

         (f) The Pledgors shall not purchase separate insurance policies
concurrent in form or contributing in the Event of Loss with the insurance
policies required to be maintained under this Section 4.19 unless the Trustee is
included thereon as an additional insured and, if applicable, with loss payable
to the Trustee under an endorsement containing the provisions described in
Section 4.19(b). The Pledgors shall immediately notify the Trustee in writing
whenever any such separate insurance policy is obtained and shall promptly
deliver to the Mortgagee the insurance policy or Insurance Certificate
evidencing such insurance.

         (g) The Pledgors may maintain the coverages required by Section 4.19
under blanket policies covering the Collateral and other locations owned or
operated by the Pledgors or an Affiliate of the Pledgors if the terms of such
blanket policies otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 4.19(b) and
contain specific coverage allocations in respect of the Premises complying with
the provisions of Section 4.19(b).

         (h) If there shall occur any Event of Loss that has a Fair Market Value
(or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $1.0 million, the applicable
Pledgor shall promptly send to the Trustee a written notice setting forth the
nature and extent of such Event of Loss in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.02.

              -------------------------------

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided, however, that the
Company or any Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:

               (1) the Company could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount
          equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback
          Transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in Section
          4.08(1) and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness under
          Section 4.09 hereof;

               (2) the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback
          Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the
          property that is the subject of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction;
          and

               (3) the transfer of property in such Sale and Leaseback
          Transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of
          such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.11 hereof.

         The Trustee will receive an Officer's Certificate from the Company with
respect to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in (1), (2) and (3)
above.

SECTION 4.22. Deposit of Proceeds of Notes on the Issue Date into the Accounts.
              ----------------------------------------------------------------

         (a) On the Issue Date, the Company shall enter into the Disbursement
Agreement and deposit (or cause to be deposited) into (x) the Construction
Disbursement Account not less than $89.0 million of the net proceeds from the
issuance of the Notes and (y) the Liquidity Disbursement Account the Additional
Equity Contribution.

         (b) The Company shall, pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, grant a
first priority perfected security interest in the Accounts to the Trustee for
its benefit and the benefit of the Holders, in order to secure all monetary
obligations of the Company under the Notes and any other monetary obligation,
now or hereafter arising, of every kind and nature, owed by the Company under
this Indenture to the Holders or to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.

         (c) Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to
the terms of the Disbursement Agreement (including, without limitation, the
provisions providing for foreclosure and release of funds from the Construction
Disbursement Account) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time
to time in accordance with its terms, and authorizes and directs the Trustee to
enter into the Disbursement Agreement and to perform its obligations and
exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

         (d) The release of any funds from Construction Disbursement Account
pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement shall not be deemed to impair the
security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

         (e) The Trustee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the
Holders, may take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i)
enforce any of the terms of the Disbursement Agreement and (ii) collect and
receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the monetary obligations of
the Company thereunder. The Trustee shall have power to institute and to
maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to
preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the
Construction Disbursement Account (including power to institute and maintain
suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any
legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with,
such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest under the
Disbursement Agreement or be prejudicial to the interest of the Holders or of
the Trustee).

SECTION 4.23. Transactions with Affiliates.
              ----------------------------

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
its properties to, or purchase any property from, or enter into or make or amend
any contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of,
any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

               (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less
          favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that
          would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or
          such Subsidiary with an unrelated person; and

                                       -63-

<PAGE>

               (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

               certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause

               has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of
               the Board of Directors; and

          (b)  with respect to any Affiliate Transaction (x) involving aggregate
               consideration in excess of $5.0 million, an opinion as to the

               appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

               (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph:

               (1) any employment-related agreement (including noncompetition
          and confidentiality agreements) entered into by the Company or any of

          with the past practice of the Company or such Subsidiary;

SECTION 4.24. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
              -------------------------------------------------------

               (a) The Board of Directors may designate (a "Designation") any
          Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such
          Designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such
          determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its
          Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be
          Restricted Payments at the time of such Designation and will reduce
          the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section
          4.07(a)(iii) hereof. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed
          to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value
          of such Investments at the time of such Designation. Such Designation
          will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted
          at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of
          an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Upon such Designation as an Unrestricted
          Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a Guarantor or
          Pledgor and the Trustee shall, at the written request of the Company
          or the Guarantor execute and deliver such documents to confirm the
          release of the Subsidiary as a Guarantor and Pledgor (and to release
          such Subsidiary from its obligations under the Collateral Documents
          and the Registration Rights Agreement).

               (b) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will
          be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the
          property proposed to be transferred by the Company or such Subsidiary,
          as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

               (c) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an
          Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing
          with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving
          effect to such designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying
          that such designation complied with the conditions set forth in the
          definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary" and was permitted by Section
          4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail
          to meet the conditions for continued designation as an Unrestricted
          Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
          for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such
          Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Subsidiary
          of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not
          permitted to be incurred as of such date pursuant to Section 4.08
          hereof, the Company shall be in default of such Section 4.08. The
          Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
          Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such Designation shall be deemed
          to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Subsidiary and such
          Designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is
          permitted to be incurred under Section 4.08 hereof, and (ii) no
          Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such
          Designation.

               (d) Upon the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
          Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall execute a supplemental Indenture to
          become a Guarantor and shall become a party to all applicable
          Collateral Documents.

SECTION 4.25. Expansion Project.
              -----------------

         (a) Prior to making a change to the Plans relating to the Expansion
Project that is materially different from the minimum facilities ("Minimum

of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding.

                                       -65-

               (b) The Minimum Facilities are as follows:

               (1) construction of a new hotel tower of at least 26 stories with
          not less than 345 rooms of each not less than approximately 510 square
          feet and 35 suites of each not less than approximately 900 square
          feet;

               (2) enlargement of the gaming floor of the casino by not less
          than 12,000 square feet; and

               (3) relocation and expansion of the existing lobby and porte
          cochere areas substantially in accordance with Plans.

               (c) The Company shall not implement a change to the Plans that
would cause budgeted construction and development costs to exceed $115.5
million, unless the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries deposits into the
Construction Disbursement Account the amount of such budgeted excess from
sources other than borrowing under a Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to
clause (1) of the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness."

               (d) The Company will cause the construction of the Expansion
Project to be undertaken with reasonable diligence and continuity.

          comply with the provisions of Section 5.01 or Section 4.07 hereof but
          only if the failure to comply with Section 4.07 is not able to be

               final maturity,

          and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness,
          together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness

          Company or any Guarantor of any of its obligations under the
          Collateral Documents or the unenforceability or invalidity of the
          Collateral Documents against the Company or any Guarantor for any
          reason;

               (8) any revocation, suspension, expiration without any previous
          or concurrent renewal, or loss of any Gaming License (other than a
          liquor license) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
          any voluntary relinquishment of any such Gaming License if such
          relinquishment, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board of
          Directors of the Company, evidenced by a Board Resolution, is both
          desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its
          Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and would not in any material respect
          reasonably be expected to impair the Company's ability to pay

          if the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has received the proceeds of
          its business interruption insurance until such proceeds have been
          expended);

               (10) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Guarantee is held
          in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.
              ------------

               If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified
in clauses (11) and (12) of Section 6.01 relating to the Company or any Gaming
Subsidiary occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the unpaid principal,
premium, if any, of and any accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and
payable. Upon such declaration the principal, premium, if any, and interest
shall be due and payable immediately (together with the premium referred to in
Section 6.02, if applicable). If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under
clauses (11) or (12) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company or any Gaming
Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further
action or notice.

               If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or
inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention
of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the
Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof,
then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become

                                       -70-

<PAGE>

and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in
this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding; provided that,
if such Event of Default occurs prior to March 15, 2007, such premium (expressed
as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes) shall equal the interest rate
then borne by the Notes.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
              --------------

               If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy, including, without limitation, foreclosure on the
Collateral, to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral 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 of a Note in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
              -----------------------

               Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes by written to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and
its consequences hereunder and under the Notes, the Guarantees and the
Collateral Documents, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium or interest, and Liquidated Damages, if
any, on the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note
affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.
              -------------------

               Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct, in writing, the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee. 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 or any cost, loss or expense and such
Holders have not agreed to indemnify the Trustee.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
              -------------------

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

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

                                       -71-

<PAGE>

               (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
          outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to institute
          proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
          Trustee hereunder to pursue the remedy;

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

               (d) the Trustee does not comply with such 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 such request.

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

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
              ------------------------------------

               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right
of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on
the Note, and Liquidated Damages, if any, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder;
provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for
the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or
prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable
law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents upon any of the Collateral.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
              --------------------------

               If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(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 Company for the whole amount of
principal of and premium and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, remaining
unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
              --------------------------------

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly

                                       -72-

<PAGE>

to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To
the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding,
shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien
on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money,
securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in
such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities.
              ----------

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

               First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for all amounts
          due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
          expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
          Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

               Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
          principal and interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, ratably,

               Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
          jurisdiction shall direct.

               The Trustee may fix a Record Date and payment date for any

               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

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee.
              -----------------

               (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this

prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

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

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

                           (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
         Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
         the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture or the Collateral Documents. However, the Trustee shall
         examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
         conform to the requirements of this Indenture or the Collateral
         Documents.

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

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

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

               (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
          it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
          received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof, for any consequential
          or punitive damages or in exercising any trust or power conferred upon
          the Trustee under this Indenture.

               (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this
Section 7.01 and Section 7.02.

               (e) No provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any
liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its
rights and powers under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents at the
request

                                       -74-

of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security
and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

               (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee.
              -----------------

               (a) In connection with the Trustee's rights and duties under this
Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon
and shall be protected from acting or refraining from acting upon any document

by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the document.

               (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting under this
Indenture or the Collateral Documents, it may require an Officers' Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers'
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the
written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be fully
authorized and protected from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it hereunder or pursuant to the Collateral Documents in good faith
and in reliance thereon.

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

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

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

               (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Collateral Documents
at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have

liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction in writing.

the facts or matters stated in any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate,
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 may, in its discretion, 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.

               (i) To the extent any provisions of the Collateral Documents
conflict with or are silent with respect to the matters set forth in this
Article 7, this Article 7 shall be controlling.

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

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.
              ----------------------------

               The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest (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 and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections
7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.
              --------------------

               The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or
any of the Collateral Documents, it shall not be accountable for the Company's
use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the
Company's direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be
responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent
other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or
recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection
with the sale of the Notes (including, without limitation, the Offering
Memorandum) or pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents other than
its certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults.
              ------------------

               If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if
it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders 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.

                                       -76-

<PAGE>

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.
              -----------------------------

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

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

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.
              --------------------------

               The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents
and services rendered by it hereunder and thereunder. The Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law in regard to the law of compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or
made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's
agents and counsel.

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

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

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

                                       -77-

               When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(11) or 6.01(12) hereof occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses
of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law.

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

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.
              ----------------------

               A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a

from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the

remove the Trustee if:

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

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

               (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

               A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice
of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing
to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien pro-

                                       -78-

<PAGE>

vided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07
hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
              --------------------------------

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

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.
              -----------------------------

               There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a

America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal
or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of

requirements of TIA ss. 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
ss. 310(b).

removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 7.12. Force Majeure.
              -------------

               In no event shall the Trustee, in each of its capacities
hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, be liable for any failure or delay
in the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder because of
circumstances beyond its control , including, but not limited to, acts of God,
flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo and
government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like which
restrict or prohibit the providing of services or obligations contemplated by

exchange of Notes) as to all outstanding Notes when either:

                                       -79-

          lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and
          Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust
          or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid
          to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to
          the Trustee for cancellation; or

               (b) (i) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
          for cancellation have or will (upon the mailing of a notice or notices
          deposited with the Trustee together with irrevocable instructions to
          mail such notice or notices to Holders of the Notes) become due and
          payable and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
          deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in the trust for the purpose
          an amount of money sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
          Indebtedness of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for

          the date of such deposit; (ii) the Company has paid all sums payable

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

obligations in Article 2 and in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.07 and 8.08
shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding. After the Notes are no

               After such delivery or irrevocable deposit the Trustee upon
request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's obligations
under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture except for those surviving
obligations specified above.

SECTION 8.02 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
             --------------------------------------------------------

               The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors
evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any
time, elect to have either Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof be applied to all
outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this

option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof,
be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter
be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.06 hereof and
the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (1) and (2) below, and to
have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture
(and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the fol-

                                       -80-

<PAGE>

lowing provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from

Section 4.02 hereof, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and

exercise its option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.04 hereof.

SECTION 8.04. Covenant Defeasance.
              -------------------

               Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.04, the Company and the Guarantors shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof,
be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections
4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 (other than clause (i) as it
pertains to the Company), 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22,

respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth

thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes,
the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of
any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall
be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section
8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.04 hereof, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, the events set
forth in Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(10) hereof shall not constitute Events of
Default.

SECTION 8.05. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
              ------------------------------------------

               The following shall be the conditions to the application of
either Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

               In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance:

               (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
          trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars,
          non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such
          amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
          recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
          principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if
          any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity thereof or on the
          applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must

               (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the
          Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in
          the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that
          (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
          Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there
          has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either
          case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel
          shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not
          recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
          result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income
          tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
          would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

               (3) in the case of an election under Section 8.04 hereof, the
          Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in
          the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that
          the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain
          or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
          Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same
          amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
          the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

               (4) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result
          in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any
          material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture, the
          Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Registration Rights
          Agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
          or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

               (5) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
          Counsel to the effect that, after the 123rd day following the deposit,
          the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any applicable
          bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
          creditors' rights generally;

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

               (7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
          Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary
          assumptions and exceptions), each stating that all conditions
          precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
          Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

SECTION 8.06. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust;
              Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
              -------------------------------------------------------------

               Subject to Section 8.07 hereof, all money and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
8.06, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof in respect of the
outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of

                                       -82-

<PAGE>

all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any,
and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds, except to
the extent required by law.

               The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof or the principal
and interest received in respect thereof.

               Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written
request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by
it as provided in Section 8.05 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion
delivered under Section 8.05(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof
that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 8.07. Repayment to Company.
              --------------------

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

SECTION 8.08. Reinstatement.
              -------------

               If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United
States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section
8.03 or 8.04 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of
any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.03 or 8.04 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company
makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

SECTION 9.01.  Without Consent of Holders.
               ---------------------------

         Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the

without the consent of any Holder to:

          (a) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

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

          (c) comply with any rules of the Depository;

     property pursuant to Article 5 or Article 12 hereof;

          (e) provide for additional Guarantors as set forth in Section 4.18 or
     to provide for the release of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 12.03;

     hereunder of any Holder; or

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

         Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and
upon written receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended
or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be
therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders.
              -----------------------

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral
Documents and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes),
and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of
Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees, the
Collateral Documents or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for

                                       -84-

<PAGE>

the Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment
or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

          (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to
     an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes, the
     Guarantees, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Collateral Documents;

          (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
     or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other
     than provisions relating to Sections 4.11, 4.14 and 4.16);

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

          (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal
     of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes
     (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at
     least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of
     the payment Default that resulted from such acceleration in accordance with
     the provisions of Article 6);

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

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

          (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a
     payment required by Sections 3.07);

          (8) following an event or circumstances which may give rise to the
     requirement to make an offer as required by Sections 4.11, 4.14 or 4.16 of
     this Indenture, modify the provisions of such sections (or a related
     definition) of this Indenture requiring the Company to make an offer to
     purchase in a manner materially adverse to the Holders affected thereby; or

          (9) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its
     Guarantee or this Indenture, except as provided in Section 4.24;

          (10) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

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

                  In addition to the foregoing and except as provided under
Article 11 no portion of the Collateral may be released from the Lien of the
Collateral Documents without the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
              ------------------------------------

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

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
              ---------------------------------

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

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
              --------------------------------

         The Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) place an appropriate
notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter
authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate new Notes that
reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
              -------------------------------

         The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture or
Collateral Document authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or
supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental
Indenture or Collateral Document until the Board of Directors approves it. In
executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended
or supplemental Indenture or Collateral Document is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture.

other documents contemplated hereby, as the case may be, the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee, as applicable, have simultaneously with the
execution of this Indenture entered into the Collateral Documents to create the
security interests and for related matters. The Trustee, the Company and the
Guarantors each hereby agree that the Trustee holds its interest in the
Collateral in trust for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holders pursuant
to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Each of the Company and the Guarantors
covenants and agrees that it shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Trustee such further assignments, transfers, assurances or other instruments and
shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or
proper to assure and confirm to the Trustee its interest in the Collateral, or
any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, and the right, title and
interest in and to the Collateral Documents so as to render the same available
for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes.

     relating to a particular item of Collateral, and the Company shall cause
     such amendments, supplements, mortgages and other Collateral Documents to

     the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, be perfected by the filing of a
     financing statement and, if any such After-Acquired Property consists of
     stock certificates, promissory notes or other property as to which, under
     the relevant UCC, a security interest may be perfected by possession or

as are necessary to maintain the perfected Liens of the Collateral Documents
under the UCC or the applicable law in those items of Collateral that can be

to such Liens on and security interests in the Collateral the details of such
action or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are

Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in

         A Board Resolution expressed to be irrevocable directing the
application of Trust Monies under this Section 11.06 to the payment of the

                                   GUARANTEES

SECTION 12.01. Guarantees.
               ----------

         Subject to the provisions of this Article 12, each Guarantor, jointly
and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby fully and unconditionally
Guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that: (a) the principal of,
and premium and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall be
duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal, and premium, if any, and (to
the extent permitted by law) interest on any interest, if any, on the Notes and
all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
under the Notes or under the Collateral Documents (including fees, expenses or
other obligations) shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension
of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the
same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise (collectively, the "Guarantee Obligations"). Failing payment when
due of any Guarantee Obligation or failing performance of any other obligation
of the Company to the Holders, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be
obligated to pay, or to perform or to cause the performance of, the same
immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall
constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the
Trustee or the Holders to accelerate the Guarantee Obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company Obligations.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee Obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any thereof, the entry of any
judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes: (a) any
right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each, a "Benefited
Party") to proceed against the Company, the Subsidiaries or any other person or
to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Benefited Party at any time
or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party's power before proceeding
against such Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or
persons or the

                                       -103-

<PAGE>

failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in
administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or
persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly
required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the
existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional Indebtedness or
obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantors, the
Company, the Subsidiaries, any Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantors,
the Company or the Subsidiaries or on the part of any other person whomsoever in
connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed;
(d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party,
including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantors for
reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense
arising because of a Benefited Party's election in any proceeding instituted
under the Bankruptcy Law of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a
security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Guarantors
hereby covenant that the Guarantees shall not be discharged except by payment in
full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes and all other costs provided for under this Indenture, the
Collateral Documents or as provided in Section 8.01.

         If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to either the Company or the Guarantors, or any trustee or similar
official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount
paid by the Company or the Guarantors to the Trustee or such Holder, the
Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect. Each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guarantee
Obligations hereby until payment in full of all such obligations. Each Guarantor
agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes hereof,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of
any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such
Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee.

SECTION 12.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.
               ------------------------------------

         To evidence the Guarantees set forth in Section 12.01 hereof, each of
the Guarantors agrees that a notation of the Guarantees substantially in the
form included in Exhibit A hereto shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf
of the Guarantors by the President or one of the Vice Presidents of the
Guarantors.

         Each of the Guarantors agree that the Guarantees set forth in this
Article 12 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the
Guarantees.

         If an Officer whose facsimile signature is on a Note no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the
Guarantees are endorsed, the Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless.

                                       -104-

<PAGE>

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

SECTION 12.03. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties in one
or more related transactions, to another person, unless:

          (1) the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
     (if other than such Guarantor) (the "Surviving Guarantor Entity") or the
     Guarantor, as the case may be, assumes all the obligations of the Guarantor
     under its Guarantee, this Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and
     the Collateral Documents pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture and other
     agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

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

          (3) the Company shall, on the date of such transaction after giving
     pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the
     same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,

     the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.08(a);

          (4) the transaction would not result in the loss, suspension or

     be, causes such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be filed
     and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to
     preserve and protect the Lien of the Collateral Documents on the Collateral
     owned by or transferred to the Surviving Guarantor Entity, together with
     such financing statements as may be required to perfect any security
     interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a
     financing statement under the UCC of the relevant states;

          (6) the Collateral owned by or transferred to the Surviving Guarantor
     Entity shall:

               (i)continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the
          Collateral Documents,

               (ii)be subject to the Lien in favor of the Trustee for the
          benefit of the Holders, and

               (iii)not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens; and

          (7) the property of the person which is merged or consolidated with or
     into the Surviving Guarantor Entity, to the extent that they are property
     of the types which would constitute Collateral under the Collateral
     Documents, shall be treated as After-Acquired Property and the Surviving
     Guarantor Entity shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to

                                       -105-

cause such property to be made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents
in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture;

provided that the provisions of clauses (1) and (3) above shall not apply to the
merger of two or more Guarantors with and into each other or the merger of any
Guarantor into the Company.

         The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 hereof, shall
be entitled to receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and
any such assumption of Guarantee Obligations, comply with the provisions of this
Section 12.03. Such Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall comply
with the provisions of Section 12.05.

         (b) Except to the extent such transaction would not be allowed by this
Article 12, in the event of:

          (x) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
     property of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise; or

          (y) a sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of any
     Guarantor, in each case to a person which is not the Company or a
     Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company;

then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of such
a merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Equity Interests of such
Guarantor) or the person acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the property of such Guarantor) shall
be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee, this Indenture
and the Collateral Documents; provided that:

          (1) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
     accordance with the provisions described in Section 4.11; and

          (2) all obligations of such Guarantor under all of its guarantees of,
     and under all of its pledges of property or other Liens which secure,
     Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall also
     terminate.

SECTION 12.04. Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.
               -----------------------------------

         Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such
Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby
irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor under this
Article 12 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect
to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving
effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee Obligations of such other Guarantor under
this Article 12, result in the Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor under the
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

               (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
          issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the
          occurrence of such redemption (excluding from the amount of Notes
          included in such 65% Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries);
          and

               (2) the redemption must occur within 60 days after the date of
          the closing of such Equity Offering.

         7. Mandatory Disposition in Accordance with Gaming Laws. If any Gaming
            -----------------------------------------------------
Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes be licensed,
qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law and such Holder or
beneficial owner (i) fails to apply for a license, qualification or a finding of
suitability within 30 days (or such lesser period as may be required by the
applicable Gaming Authority) after being requested to do so by the Gaming
Authority or (ii) is denied such license or qualification or not found suitable,
the Company shall have the right, at its option, (1) to require any such Holder
or beneficial owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such earlier date
as may be required by the applicable Gaming Authority) of the occurrence of the
event described in clause (i) or (ii) above or (2) to redeem the Notes of such
Holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (x) the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of the denial of license or
qualification or of the

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, (y) the price at which such
Holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of the denial of license or
qualification or of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority and
(z) the Fair Market Value of such Notes. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of any redemption pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture as soon as
practicable.

         Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or
beneficial owner of the Notes will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable,
the Holder or beneficial owner will, to the extent required by applicable law,
have no further rights (i) to receive any interest or dividends with respect to
the Notes; or (ii) to exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any
right conferred by the Notes; or (iii) receive any remuneration in any form for
services rendered or otherwise.

         The Holder or beneficial owner that is required to apply for a license,
qualification or a finding of suitability shall pay all fees and costs of
applying for and obtaining the license, qualification or finding of suitability
and of any investigation by the applicable Gaming Authorities. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary shall be liable therefor.

         8. Change of Control Offer. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
            ------------------------
the Company shall offer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer
described below at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages
thereon to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control,
the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase
Notes pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such
notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.

         9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form
            ----------------------------------
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the
Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 Business Days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

         10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Note may be
             ----------------------
treated as its owner for all purposes.

         11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
             ---------------------------------
the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes, and any existing Default or noncompliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without
the consent of any Holder of a

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

Note, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented,
among other things, to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders in case of a
merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional
rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal
rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the
Indenture under the TIA.

         12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the
             ----------------------
Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further
action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of
any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes.
The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents, and the Company is
required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

         13. Ranking and Security. The Notes shall be senior secured obligations
             ---------------------
of the Company and shall effectively rank senior to all of the Company's
existing and future unsecured Indebtedness to the extent of the Collateral
granted by the Company.

         The Company's Obligations under the Notes shall be unconditionally
guaranteed on a senior basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors.
The Guarantees shall be senior secured obligations of the Guarantors and shall
effectively rank senior to all of the Guarantors' existing and future unsecured
Indebtedness to the extent of the Collateral granted by such Guarantors.

                  Pursuant to the Collateral Documents, the Notes and the
Guarantees shall be secured by a first priority Lien (subject to certain
exceptions described therein) on the Collateral.

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

         15. No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director,
             ---------------------------
officer, employee, incorporator member, partner or stockholder, of the Company
and each Subsidiary, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations
of the Company under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

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

         17. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
             --------------
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship
and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts
to Minors Act).

         18. Additional Rights of Holders of Notes. In addition to the rights
             --------------------------------------
provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Notes shall have all the
rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Issue
Date, among the Company and the Initial Purchasers.

         19. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
             --------------
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may 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.

all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in

maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

         The obligations of each Guarantor to the Holders and to the Trustee
pursuant to this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article
12 of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to such Indenture for the
precise terms of this Guarantee. The obligations are secured by a pledge of the
Collateral pursuant to Articles 10 and 11 of the Indenture and the Collateral
Documents.

         No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator,
member, partner or stockholder of each Guarantor shall have any liability under
this Guarantee by reason of his or its status as such and each Holder of Notes
by accepting a Note waivers and releases all such liability. This waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon each
Guarantor and its successors and assigns until full and final payment of all of

Trustee, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon that party shall
automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions hereof. This is a Guarantee of payment and
not of collectibility.

shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture by the manual
signature of one of its authorized officers.

         The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited

Indenture unless otherwise indicated.

         The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

         1. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act")) purchasing Notes for our own account or for the account of such an
institutional "accredited investor" and we are acquiring the Notes not with a
view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation
of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our
investment in the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the
Notes in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

         2. We acknowledge that we have had access to such financial and other
information, and have been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions of
representatives of the Company and receive answers thereto, as we deem
necessary.

         3. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in
the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing Notes that we shall not prior to the date
(the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") that is two years after the later of
the original issuance of the Notes and the last date on which the Company or any
affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor
thereto) offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes except (a) to the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company, (b) inside the United States to a "qualified
institutional buyer" in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act (c)
inside the United States to an "institutional accredited investor" as defined in

and that such certificates shall bear a legend reflecting the substance of
paragraph 3 of this letter. We further agree to provide to any person acquiring

Notes are restricted as stated herein and that certificates representing such
Notes shall bear a legend to that effect.

to rely upon the truth and accuracy of our acknowledgments, representations and
agreements set forth herein, and we agree to notify you promptly in writing if
any of our acknowledgments, representations or agreements herein cease to be
