(1) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company has Incurred any Indebtedness or issued any Disqualified Capital Stock since the beginning of such Four-Quarter Period that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Capital Stock, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four-Quarter Period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness or such Disqualified Capital Stock as if such Indebtedness or such Disqualified Capital Stock had been Incurred on the first day of such Four-Quarter Period;

(2) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company has repaid, repurchased, defeased, retired or otherwise discharged (a "Discharge") any Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock since the beginning of such Four-Quarter Period that no longer remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves a Discharge of Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock, then Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four-Quarter Period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Discharge of Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock, including with the proceeds of any new Indebtedness, as if such

Discharge (and Incurrence of new Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock, if any) had occurred on the first day of such Four-Quarter Period;

(3) if since the beginning of such Four-Quarter Period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will have disposed of any business or operations or any material asset (a "Disposition"), then Consolidated EBITDA for such Four-Quarter Period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the business, operations or assets that are the subject of such Disposition for such Four-Quarter Period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such Four-Quarter Period, and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four-Quarter Period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company repaid, repurchased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such asset sale for such Four-Quarter Period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four-Quarter Period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale);

(4) if since the beginning of such Four-Quarter Period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (by merger or otherwise) will have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or an Acquisition, including any Acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, then Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four-Quarter Period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such Four-Quarter Period;

(5) if since the beginning of such Four-Quarter Period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company since the beginning of such Four-Quarter Period) will have made any Disposition or any Investment or Acquisition that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (3) or (4) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company during such Four-Quarter Period, then Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Four-Quarter Period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Disposition, Investment or Acquisition occurred on, with respect to any Investment or Acquisition, the first day of such Four-Quarter Period and, with respect to any Disposition, the first day of such Four-Quarter Period; and

(6) notwithstanding the foregoing, interest expense on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility the outstanding principal balance of which is required to be computed on a pro forma basis in accordance with the foregoing shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period, provided, that such average daily balance shall be reduced by the amount of any repayment of Indebtedness under such revolving credit facility during the applicable period, to the extent such repayment permanently reduced the commitments or amounts available to be borrowed under such facility.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations will be determined in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for

the entire period (taking into account any agreement under which Hedging Obligations relating to interest are outstanding applicable to such Indebtedness if such agreement under which such Hedging Obligations are outstanding has a remaining term as at the date of determination equal to or in excess of 12 months; but if the remaining term of such Hedging Obligation is less than 12 months, then such Hedging Obligation shall only be taken into account for that portion of the period equal to the remaining term thereof).

"Consolidated EBITDA" means, with respect to any Person for any period, the Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period, (A) plus the following, to the extent deducted in calculating such Consolidated Net Income:

(1) Consolidated Income Tax Expense for such period;

(2) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period;

(3) depreciation expense for such period;

(4) amortization expense for such period;

(5) pre-opening expenses for such period (provided that the aggregate amount of pre-opening expenses added back shall not exceed $25.0 million); and

(6) all other non-cash items reducing Consolidated Net Income for such period (other than any non-cash item requiring an accrual or a reserve for cash disbursements in any future period);

minus

(B) all non-cash items increasing Consolidated Net Income for such period (other than the accrual of revenue in the ordinary course of business and any non-cash item representing a reduction of a liability to be paid in the future to the extent such liability previously reduced Consolidated Net Income in such period).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision for taxes based on the income or profits of, and the depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses of, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute Consolidated EBITDA of the Company only to the extent that a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Company by that Restricted Subsidiary without prior governmental approval (or if any required prior governmental approval has been obtained), and without direct or indirect restriction pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments, judgments, decrees, orders, statutes, rules and governmental regulations applicable to that Restricted Subsidiary or its equity holders.

"Consolidated Income Tax Expense" means, with respect to any Person for any period, the provision for taxes based on the income or profits of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

"Consolidated Interest Expense" means, with respect to any Person for any period, without duplication, the sum of:

(1) the interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, including, without limitation, (a) the net cost under Hedging Obligations relating to interest (including any amortizations of discounts, but excluding any ▇▇▇▇-to-market adjustments), (b) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligation, (c) all commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and bankers' acceptance financing, (d) all capitalized interest and all accrued interest and (e) the accretion of any original issue discount on any Indebtedness;

(2) the interest component of Capital Lease Obligations paid, accrued and/or scheduled to be paid or accrued by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP;

(3) the product of (x) the amount of dividends and distributions paid or accrued in respect of Disqualified Capital Stock of such Person or Preferred Capital Stock of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than dividends or distributions consisting solely of Qualified Capital Stock) during such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then current effective consolidated federal, provincial, state and local tax rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal; and

The Trustee shall authenticate Additional Notes thereafter in unlimited amount (so long as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Sections 2.19 and 4.10) for original issue upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (other than as provided in Section 2.8). Each such written order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated.

SECTION 2.2 Form and Dating. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication with respect thereto shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rule or usage to which the Company is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Notes offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A ("Rule 144A Notes") shall bear the legend and include the form of assignment set forth in Exhibit B, Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S ("Regulation S Notes") shall bear the legend and include the form of assignment set forth in Exhibit C, and Notes offered and sold to Institutional Accredited Investors in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act not made in reliance on Rule 144A or Regulation S ("Other Notes") may be represented by a Restricted Global Note or, if such an investor may not hold an interest in the Restricted Global Note, a Physical Note, in each case, bearing the Private Placement Legend. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar.

SECTION 2.3 Execution and Authentication. An Officer shall sign (who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate the 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 the Company and Affiliates of the Company. Each Paying Agent is designated as an authenticating agent for purposes of this Indenture.

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the "Registrar"), and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent") and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company, if any, in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional Paying Agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional Paying Agent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement, which shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA, with any Agent that is not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.7.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes and this Indenture.

SECTION 2.5 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium or interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or the Guarantors), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2), upon written request to the Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.6 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 the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

SECTION 2.7 Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Company may require from the Holder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6, 4.8, 4.11 or 8.5 (in which events the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes). The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or of any Note selected, called or being called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Any Holder of the Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note 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 Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder's Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture or applicable U.S. Federal or state securities law.

Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any duty to monitor the Company's compliance with or have any responsibility with respect to the Company's compliance with any Federal or state securities laws.

SECTION 2.8 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Holder of such

Note furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of both to protect the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the Company's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Company for the Trustee's expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note. Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company.

SECTION 2.9 Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.2 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to 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.

SECTION 2.10 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any other Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a responsible officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers' Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 2.11 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. 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 definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.12 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 shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall (subject to the record-retention requirements of the Exchange Act) dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Company may not reissue or resell, or issue new Notes to replace, Notes that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.13 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Company shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

SECTION 2.14 CUSIP Number. The Company in issuing the Notes may use a "CUSIP" number, and if so, such CUSIP number shall be included 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 number 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 of any such CUSIP number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in the CUSIP number.

SECTION 2.15 Deposit of Moneys. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment 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 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 Global Notes shall bear legends as set forth in Exhibit D.

Members of, or direct or indirect 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 the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, 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 impairing, as between the Depository and its Agent

Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Beneficial Owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.17. In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note and the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depository or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of such Physical Notes or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures).

(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to Beneficial Owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order from the Company authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount.

(d) 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 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 Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

(e) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (d) shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraphs (a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend or, in the case of the Regulation S Global Note, the legend set forth in Exhibit C, in each case, unless the Company determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law.

(f) On or prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes represented by the Regulation S Global Note and the issue date of such Notes (such period through and including such 40th day, the "Restricted Period"), a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding Restricted Global Note only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made (i)(a) to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act which is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel regarding the availability of such exemption and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

(g) Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available) and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or CEDEL.

(h) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(i) 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.

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.1 Election To Redeem; Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee) but not more than 65 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained in paragraph 5 of the Notes. Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.1 may not be revoked after the time that notice is given to Holders pursuant to Section 3.3.

SECTION 3.2 Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed. In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to an optional redemption, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee will deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.3 Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

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

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the redemption price and the amount of premium and accrued interest to be paid;

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;

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

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

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

(7) the provision of the Notes and/or Section of the Indenture, as the case may be, pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(8) the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed.

At the Company's written request made at least five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's sole expense.

SECTION 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.3 is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued but unpaid to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued but unpaid to the Redemption Date, provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date, and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the first proviso in Section 3.4, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.

SECTION 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.7 Gaming Redemption. In connection with any redemption pursuant to paragraph 6 of the Notes, and except as may be required by a Gaming Authority, the Company shall comply with Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

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

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.4.

SECTION 4.5 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. Each of the Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise) or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive any of the Company and the Guarantors from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each

such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action they are taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company and the Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, an Officers' Certificate detailing any Default of which it is aware, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect to such Default.

The Company and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 4.8 Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs (the date of such occurrence being the "Change of Control Date"), the Company will, within 30 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, make an offer (the "Change of Control Offer") to all Holders to purchase all outstanding Notes properly tendered pursuant to such offer, and within 60 days after the occurrence of the Change of Control, all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such offer will be accepted for purchase (the date of such purchase, the "Change of Control Purchase Date") for a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof as of the Change of Control Purchase Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

In order to effect the Change of Control Offer, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder's Notes at a purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase;

(4) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in a manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Any reinstatement of the Suspended Covenant as described in the foregoing sentence shall not preclude the subsequent suspension of the Reinstated Covenant and reinstatement of the Suspended Covenant in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9(c).

SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Capital Stock. (a) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any Disqualified Capital Stock, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any Preferred Capital Stock, except in each case for Permitted Indebtedness; provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the incurrence of this Indebtedness, the Company and any Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness, and the Company or any Guarantor may issue Disqualified Capital Stock, if, in any such case, at the time of and immediately after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Capital Stock and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company would be greater than 2.0 to 1.0 if such Indebtedness is incurred prior to November 22, 2007 and 2.5 to 1.0 thereafter.

(d) Notwithstanding Sections 4.10(a) and 4.10(b), the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is Incurred in compliance with Sections 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17.

SECTION 4.11 Limitation on Sales of Assets. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and

(2) at least 75% of such consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary consists of (A) cash or Cash Equivalents, (B) assets (other than securities) to be used in a Related Business, (C) the Capital Stock of any Person engaged in a Related Business that is, or as a result of or in connection with the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary becomes, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (D) a combination of cash, Cash Equivalents, such assets and such Capital Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be permitted to make any sale or other disposition of Key Project Assets or material Gaming Licenses.

(b) The amount of any (A) Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is actually assumed by any Person other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in connection with such Asset Sale and from which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are fully and unconditionally released will be deemed to be cash for purposes of determining the percentage of the consideration received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in cash or Cash Equivalents and (B) notes or other obligations received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Sale that are converted, sold or exchanged within 30 days of the related Asset Sale by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries into cash or Cash Equivalents will be deemed to be cash, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds or the Fair Market Value of the Cash Equivalents realized upon such conversion, sale or exchange for purposes of determining the percentage of the consideration received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in cash or Cash Equivalents.

(c) If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.11.

(d) The Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof to:

(1) repay Indebtedness outstanding under any Credit Facility, the Existing Facility or any other Secured Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, or any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (and to cause a corresponding permanent reduction in

commitments if such repaid Indebtedness was outstanding under the revolving portion of a Credit Facility); or

(2) make an investment in or expenditures for assets (other than securities) to be used in a Related Business or acquire the Capital Stock of any Person engaged in a Related Business that is, or as a result of or in connection with such Investment becomes, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

The requirement of clause (2) above shall be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement (including a lease, whether a capital lease or an operating lease) committing to make the expenditures or acquisitions referred to therein is entered into by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within such 365-day period and such Net Cash Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such agreement within 12 months following the date of such agreement.

Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings to the extent not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.

(e) To the extent all or part of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not applied or committed within 365 days of such Asset Sale as described in Section 4.11(d) (the "Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date" and such Net Cash Proceeds, the "Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds"), the Company will, within 20 days after such 365th day, make an offer to purchase (a "Net Proceeds Offer") all outstanding Notes and other Indebtedness that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the terms of which require an offer to purchase such other Indebtedness to be made with the proceeds from the sale of assets ("Pari Passu Debt") on a pro rata basis up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Debt equal to such Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal, in the case of the Notes, to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the purchase date thereof and, in the case of such other Indebtedness, the purchase price specified by the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until there are aggregate Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds equal to or in excess of $10.0 million, at which time the entire amount of such Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $10.0 million, will be applied as required pursuant to this Section 4.11(e).

The Company shall mail a notice of a Net Proceeds Offer by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 20 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, containing all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall state the following terms:

(1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.11, that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer plus accrued interest at the expiration of such offer exceeds the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall select on a pro rata basis, the Notes and Pari Passu Debt to be purchased (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, as applicable, or multiples thereof shall be purchased) and that the Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such longer periods as may be required by law;

(2) the offer price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Net Proceeds Offer date of payment ("Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") (which shall be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date and which shall be at least five business days after the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Company);

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender such Note, 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 prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second business day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of the Notes such Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and

(7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in an original principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (a) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000) validly tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (b) deposit with the Paying Agent, in accordance with Section 2.15, U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes to be purchased and (c) deliver to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (b) above and a copy of the Officers' Certificate specified in clause (c) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall return the Notes purchased to the Company for cancellation. Any monies remaining after the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer shall be returned within three business days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article VII. For purposes of this Section 4.11, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

(f) With respect to any Net Proceeds Offer effected pursuant to this Section 4.11, among the Notes and the Pari Passu Debt that is subject to provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem such Pari Passu Debt with the proceeds from the sale of assets, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to such Net Proceeds Offer exceeds the Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds to be applied to the repurchase thereof, such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt will be purchased pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt tendered by each holder thereof. To the extent the Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds exceed the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered by the holders thereof pursuant to such Net Proceeds Offer (such excess constituting an "Excess"), the Company may retain and utilize such Excess for any general corporate purposes. Upon the completion of a Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Unutilized Net Cash Proceeds will be reset to zero.

(g) If the Company makes a Net Proceeds Offer, the Company will comply with all applicable tender offer laws and regulations, including, to the extent applicable, Section 14(e) and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, any other applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations, any applicable requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, IGRA, and the rules and regulations of all applicable Gaming Authorities and any violation of the provisions of this Section 4.11 relating to such Net Proceeds Offer occurring as a result of such compliance will not be deemed a Default or an Event of Default.

SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to: (A) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (B) make loans or advances to, or guarantee any Indebtedness or other obligations of, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (C) transfer any of its assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) with respect to clauses (A), (B), and (C) of this Section 4.12,

(1) any Credit Facility; provided that such restrictions, taken as a whole, are, in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Company) and the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company's ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes;

(2) pursuant to an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, including, but not limited to, the Existing Facility;

(3) any applicable law or any rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority;

(4) any agreement governing Indebtedness of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of the acquisition (except to the extent that Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of the acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(5) any agreement for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pending closing of such sale or disposition;

(6) refinancing Indebtedness permitted under Section 4.10(b)(11); provided, however, that such restrictions, taken as a whole, are, in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(7) supermajority voting requirements and other customary provisions existing under corporate charters, by-laws, stockholders agreements, joint venture agreements and other similar agreements;

(8) this Indenture; and

(9) any agreement or instrument that amends, modifies, restates, renews, increases, supplements, refunds, replaces, extends or refinances any agreement or instrument described in clauses (a)(2), (a)(4) and (a)(8) of this Section 4.12, from time to time, in whole or in part, provided, that the encumbrances or restrictions set forth therein, taken as a whole, are, in the good

faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, not materially more restrictive than those contained in the predecessor agreement or instrument (regardless of whether the predecessor agreement or instrument remains outstanding in whole or in part).

(b) with respect to clause (C) of this Section 4.12 only,

(1) any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary nonassignment provisions in leases governing leasehold interests to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or the property leased thereunder;

(2) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(3) agreements governing Permitted Liens to the extent such encumbrance or restriction restricts the transfer of the property subject to such Lien;

(5) customary restrictions imposed on the transfer of, or in licenses related to, copyrights, patents or other intellectual property and contained in agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into, renew, amend or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any assets or the rendering of any service) with or for the benefit of any of their respective Affiliates (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction, taken as a whole, is on terms which are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be , than would be available in a comparable transaction on an arm's-length basis with an unaffiliated third party;

(2) if such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involves aggregate payments or other consideration having a Fair Market Value in excess of $2.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction is in writing and a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company will have approved such Affiliate Transaction and determined that such Affiliate Transaction complies with the foregoing provisions, or, in the event that there are no disinterested directors, the Trustee has received a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary involved in such Affiliate Transaction, as the case may be; and

(3) if such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involves aggregate payments or other consideration having a Fair Market Value in excess of $10.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction is in writing and the Trustee has received a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary involved in such Affiliate Transaction, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company will not amend the Assignment Agreement in a manner that would be materially adverse to the economic interests of the Holders.

SECTION 4.14 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company may designate after the Issue Date any Subsidiary of the Company as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" under this Indenture (a "Designation") only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing or will result after giving effect to such Designation;

(2) at the time of and after giving effect to such Designation, the Company could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under Section 4.10;

(3) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment at the time of Designation in an amount of the Designation Amount;

(4) such Unrestricted Subsidiary is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding at such time with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or, in the event such condition is not satisfied, the value of such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding to such Unrestricted Subsidiary in excess of the value that such Unrestricted Subsidiary would have obtained from a Person who was not an Affiliate will be deemed added to the Designation Amount; and

(5) such Unrestricted Subsidiary does not own any Key Project Assets or Gaming Licenses.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, at any time (A) provide credit support for, subject any of its assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to the satisfaction of, or guarantee, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness), (B) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, (C) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, or (D) transfer any Key Project Assets or Gaming Licenses to an Unrestricted Subsidiary, except, with respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, such support or liability that would be permitted under Sections 4.9 and 4.10. All Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries will be automatically deemed to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a "Revocation") if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing or will result after giving effect to such Revocation;

(2) at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation, the Company could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under Section 4.10; and

(3) all Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would be permitted to be outstanding under Section 4.15.

All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by filing by the Company with the Trustee of Board Resolutions and an Officers' Certificate certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 4.15 Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) against or upon any of their respective assets now owned or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom or any income or profits therefrom, in each case to secure any Indebtedness unless contemporaneously therewith:

(1) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same collateral; and

(2) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation,

in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien.

SECTION 4.16 Antilayering. None of the Company or any Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness that by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) would be expressly subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees, as applicable, at least to the same extent such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness; provided, however, that no indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor will be deemed to be subordinate in right of payment to any other indebtedness solely as a result of one or more of the following: being

unsecured, or having a junior lien position; having a later maturity date; or being junior to such other indebtedness with respect to order of payments or application of funds.

SECTION 4.17 Subsidiary Guarantees. If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then the Company will cause such newly acquired or created Restricted Subsidiary to (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in Article X and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary of SNFGC shall not be effective until the repayment of the Existing Facility.

SECTION 4.18 Provision of Financial Information. Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations for reporting companies under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act:

(1) all annual and quarterly financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company's independent public accountants; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may satisfy such requirements prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement by filing with the SEC such registration statement, to the extent that any such registration statement contains substantially the same information as would be required to be filed by the Company if it were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include or be accompanied by a reasonably detailed presentation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

In addition, whether or not required by the SEC, the Company will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in the third preceding paragraph with the SEC for public availability (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. The Company will also furnish to Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors upon request the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. The Company will also comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

interest in such Person after such sale would be permitted by Section 4.9; provided, however, that this Section 4.19 will not prohibit (x) the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all of the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.14.

Best & Company, Inc. rating of A or higher and a financial size category of not less than VII, in each case on the date each such policy is issued to the Company, 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.

SECTION 4.23 Payments for Consent. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of

In addition, each Guarantor, in the case of a transaction described in Section 5.1(a) where the Company is not the Surviving Person, unless it is the other party to the transaction or unless its Guarantee will be released and discharged in accordance with its terms as a result of the transaction, will be required to confirm, by supplemental indenture, that its Guarantee will continue to apply to the obligations of the Surviving Person under this Indenture.

SECTION 5.2 Successor Person Substituted.

SECTION 6.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary described in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by notice in writing to the Trustee and the Company, may declare the unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an Event or Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary occurs under this Indenture, the Notes will automatically become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, on behalf of all Holders of Notes, may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences (a) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (b) if all existing Events of Default with respect to Notes have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (c) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (d) if the Company has paid the Trustee its

reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances, and (e) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.1, the Trustee has received an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.3 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company.

SECTION 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences (including any such waiver obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of (or premium on) any Note, including such Default arising from failure to purchase any Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any power or trust conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall by responsible officers determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in liability or that the Trustee is not satisfactorily indemnified from the costs thereof.

SECTION 6.6 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder will have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default thereunder and unless the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as the Trustee, and the Trustee will have not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of such a Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

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

Neither the Nation nor any member of the Nation, council member, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, attorney, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Nation or holder of an Ownership Interest of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any of its Affiliates under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. Other than as specifically set forth in this Indenture, nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of the sovereign immunity of either the Company or the Nation.

SECTION 6.8 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 of and interest on the Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.9 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the Notes, and such further amounts 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 6.10 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may 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 any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and

advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof.

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 or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings.

SECTION 6.11 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7 hereof;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and

THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11.

SECTION 6.12 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.1 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default actually known to a responsible officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the same circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

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

(1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.

(3) 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 the terms hereof.

(4) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 7.1 shall govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee.

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

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 12.5 hereof. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

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

(4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee's conduct does not constitute gross negligence or bad faith.

(5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability

in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

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

(7) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and the Guarantors and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

SECTION 7.5 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 30 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes outstanding, give the Holders of the Notes thereof notice of all uncured Defaults or Events of Default thereunder known to it. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment with respect to the Notes or a Default or Event of Default in complying with Section 5.1, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. If required by TIA §313(a), within 60 days after May 15 of any year, commencing 2005 the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA §313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c) and TIA §313(d).

Reports pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be transmitted by mail:

(1) to all Holders of Notes, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar's books; and

(2) to such Holders of Notes as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose.

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

At the expense of the Company, the Trustee or, if the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar, shall report the names of record Holders to any Gaming Authority when requested to do so by the Company.

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

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

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

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

(4) notice of the removal or resignation of the Trustee within five (5) Business Days of the effectiveness thereof;

(5) notice of any transfer or assignment of rights under this Indenture known to the Trustee within five (5) Business Days thereof; and

(6) a copy of any amendment to the Notes or this Indenture within five (5) Business Days of the effectiveness thereof.

To the extent requested by the Company and at the Company's expense, the Trustee shall cooperate with any Gaming Authority in order to provide such Gaming Authority with the information and documentation requested and as otherwise required by applicable law.

SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in connection with its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or such Agent) and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Company and the Guarantors in writing

promptly of any claim of which a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee or Agent for which it may seek indemnity; however, the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the Company and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Company and the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company and the Guarantors are actually prejudiced thereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own negligence or bad faith.

To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of the Company and each of the Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) or (9) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

For purposes of this Section 7.7, the term "Trustee" shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article VII.

SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company and the Guarantors in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if:

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee otherwise 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.

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

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any 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. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.7 hereof, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.9 Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10 hereof, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1) and (2) in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA §310(b), including the provision in §310(b)(1).

SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311 (b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 7.12 Paying Agents. The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12:

(A) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee;

(B) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and

(C) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three (3) Business Days of any failure of the Company (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.

SECTION 8.2 With Consent of Holders. Modifications and amendments of this Indenture may be made by the Company, the Guarantors, SNFGC and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes); provided, however, that no such modification or amendment to this Indenture may, without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby:

(1) change the maturity of the principal of any such Note;

(2) reduce the principal amount of (or the premium on) any such Note;

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

(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described in paragraph 5 of the Note;

(5) change the currency of payment of principal of (or premium on) or interest on any such Note;

(6) impair the right of the Holders of Notes to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder's Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any such Note;

(10) following an event or circumstance which may give rise to the requirement to make a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, modify the provisions of any covenant (or the related definitions) in this Indenture requiring the Company to make a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of Notes affected thereby;

(11) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(12) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions of this Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 8.1 or this Section 8.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 8.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 8.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note, if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (12) of Section 8.2 hereof. In that case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note.

SECTION 8.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, and the Trustee shall

authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. 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 8.6 Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VIII if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.1 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 12.4, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

ARTICLE IX

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

SECTION 9.1 Discharge of Indenture. Upon the request of the Company, this Indenture will cease to be of further effect and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and this Indenture when:

(a) either

(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or

(2) all Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense of, the Company;

(b) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, all sums payable by it on account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Notes (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid) or otherwise, together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; and

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, together stating that all conditions precedent provided in this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and this Indenture have been complied with.

After such delivery, the Trustee upon Company Request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified below.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company in Sections 7.7, 9.5 and 9.6 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 9.2 Legal Defeasance. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors and the Nation discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and to have

satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, subject to Section 9.6 hereof, execute instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Company acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust funds described in Section 9.4 hereof and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2,7, 2.8, 2.11, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.5, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7) and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and (D) this Article IX.

Subject to compliance with this Article IX, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.2 with respect to the Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.3 below with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 9.3 Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations under Sections 4.3 (other than as it relates to legal existence of the Company), 4.8 through 4.17, 4.18 (except for obligations mandated by the TIA) and 4.19 through 4.24 and Section 5.1 and the covenants of the Nation contained in Section 2 of the Nation Agreement released with respect to the outstanding Notes on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may fail 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 6.1 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 of the option in this Section 9.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(3), (4), (5), (6), (10) and (11) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Notwithstanding any discharge or release of any obligations under this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.2 or this Section 9.3, the Company's obligations in Sections 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 7.7, 9,5, 9.6 and 9.8 shall survive until such time as the Notes have been paid in full.

Thereafter, the Company's obligations in Sections 7.7, 9.5 and 9.8 shall survive.

SECTION 9.4 Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

(a) (1) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited in trust for the benefit of the Holders with the Trustee or a Paying Agent or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and any such Paying Agent, (x) money in an amount sufficient, or (y) U.S. Government Obligations that shall be payable as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (without consideration of any reinvestment of such interest), or (z) any combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding Notes on the dates such installments are due to redemption or Stated Maturity, (2) the trustee of the irrevocable trust has been irrevocably instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the Trustee, and (3) the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed in writing to apply the deposited money and the proceeds from U.S. Government

Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the terms of the Notes to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes;

(b) the deposit described in clause (a) above will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound (other than this Indenture and other than breaches, violations, or defaults arising solely out of Defaults and Events of Default described in the parenthetical in Section 9.4(c)(1));

(c) no Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness and entering into of customary documentation in connection therewith, including agreements granting Liens to secure such Indebtedness, all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Note pursuant to this Article 9 concurrently with such incurrence);

(d) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums currently due and payable by the Company under this Indenture and under the Notes;

(e) such defeasance shall not cause or permit any Notes then listed on any national securities exchange to be delisted;

(h) in the case of an election under Section 9.3, the Company has delivered to the Trustee either (1) a ruling received from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, or (2) an Opinion of Counsel by counsel who is not an employee of the Company to the effect that, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company's exercise of its covenant defeasance option and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance option had not been exercised.

SECTION 9.5 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.4 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, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company and the Guarantors shall (on a joint and several basis) pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof or the principal, premium, if any, and interest

received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article IX to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or, if nationally recognized firms of independent public accountants will not provide such service in the ordinary course of their business, such other evidence as the Trustee deems reasonably satisfactory), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 9.6 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's and each Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article IX until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof; provided that if the Company or the Guarantors have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

SECTION 9.7 Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof, to the Company upon a Company Request (or, if such moneys had been deposited by the Guarantors, to such Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

SECTION 9.8 Moneys Held by Trustee. Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company or the Guarantors in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company (or, if appropriate, the Guarantors) upon a Company Request, or if such moneys are then held by the Company or the Guarantors in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company and the Guarantors for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company and the Guarantors, either mail to each Holder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, a 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 mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or the Guarantors or the release of any money held in trust by the Company or any Guarantors, as the case may be, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEE OF NOTES

SECTION 10.1 Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, the Guarantors, by execution of this Indenture, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee to each Holder (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on each Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations and due and punctual performance of all obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms of such Note, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note, this Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by the Holder of such Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor; provided, however, that the Guarantees by SNFGC and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be effective until the repayment in full of the Existing Facility.

Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of any Holder under the Guarantees.

SECTION 10.2 Execution and Delivery of Notation of Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form included in Exhibit G hereto, may be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and such notation of Guarantee may be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer or an officer of a general partner, as the case may be, of each Guarantor.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates Notes or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor's Guarantee of such Notes shall be valid nevertheless.

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

SECTION 10.3 Limitation of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantee by such Guarantor of the Existing Facility) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.

SECTION 10.4 Additional Guarantors. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall cause any Person which becomes obligated to guarantee the Notes, pursuant to the terms of Section 4.17, to execute a supplemental indenture and any other documentation requested by the Trustee satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee in accordance with Section 4.17 pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture in accordance with this Article X with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor.

SECTION 10.5 Release of Guarantors. The Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon any of the following:

(a) upon any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (including by way of merger or consolidation or any sale of all of the Capital Stock of that Restricted Subsidiary) to a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company; provided that the Company shall, if applicable, apply the Net Cash Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4.11; or

(b) if the Company designates such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.14;

and in each such case, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, together stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder. The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee under this Article X.

SECTION 10.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.6 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.7 Notice to Trustee. The Company or any Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company or any such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in respect of the Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Guarantees, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company no later than one Business Day prior to such payment; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.7, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice referred to in this Section 10.7 at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such payment may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it less than one Business Day prior to such date.

SECTION 10.8 Subordination of Guarantees in Certain Circumstances. The Company, the Trustee and each Guarantor agree, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of such Guarantor's Guarantee (including any amounts in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and any other payment obligation in respect of the Notes, including any obligation to purchase Notes) is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of any Term Loan Guaranty (including any amounts in respect of principal, premium or interest) made by such Guarantor, if and to the extent such subordination is required by the Term Loan-Nation Agreement, and only at the times and under the circumstances specified therein. In order to further evidence such subordination, if required pursuant to the Term Loan-Nation Agreement and any Term Loan Guaranty issued pursuant thereto, the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, and such Guarantor shall enter into a customary subordination agreement (including turn-over provisions) upon such terms as are reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan Lender, subject to the limitations with respect thereto set forth in the Term Loan-Nation Agreement and such Term Loan Guaranty.

(f) Enforcement. Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably waives its sovereign immunity from a judgment or order consistent with the terms and provisions of this limited waiver and agreement, which is final because either the time for appeal thereof has expired or the judgment or order is issued by a court having final appellate jurisdiction over the matter. Each of the Company and the Guarantors consents to the jurisdiction of, to be sued in and accepts and agrees to be bound by any order or judgment of any of the United States District Courts for New York or the New York State Supreme Court, and any federal or state court having appellate jurisdiction thereover, consistent with the terms and provisions of this limited waiver and agreement.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and the Guarantors expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered by any court, to take such action to give effect to any judgment entered or order granted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(g) Waivers. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby expressly and irrevocably waives:

(1) its rights to have any dispute, controversy, suit, action or proceeding arising under this Indenture heard in any forum other than as set forth in Section 11.1(f) whether or not such forum now exists or is hereafter created;

In the event of any attempted limitation or revocation of the limited waiver of sovereign immunity granted herein, the Trustee may immediately seek judicial injunctive relief as provided in this limited waiver and agreement without first complying with any of the prerequisites contained herein to the limited waiver of sovereign immunity granted herein. Any action seeking injunctive relief hereunder shall be brought in one of the United States District Courts for New York or the New York State Supreme Court, and each of the Company and the Guarantors expressly consents to the jurisdiction of, and agrees to be bound by, any order or judgment of such District Courts or state court, and any federal or state court with appellate jurisdiction thereover.

SECTION 11.2 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Arbitration. If, and only if, a dispute arises between the parties over a matter for which the Company and the Guarantors have provided a limited waiver of immunity under this Indenture or the Notes, as applicable (the "Dispute"), and neither the United States District Courts for New York nor the New York State Supreme Court can or is willing to hear the Dispute, then either party may request binding arbitration of such Dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. To initiate binding arbitration of such Dispute, a party shall notify the other party in writing. The Dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court. One arbitrator shall preside and shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.

(b) Restraining Order/Preliminary Injunction. Any party, before or during any arbitration, may apply to a court having jurisdiction as provided under Section 11.1 for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction where such relief is necessary to protect its interests pending completion of the dispute resolution proceedings.

(c) Confidentiality. Neither party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence or results of any arbitration hereunder, which shall be considered confidential to the parties hereto, except:

(1) with the express prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

(2) as required by applicable law, the rules of any relevant stock exchange or requirement of the Trustee, by order or decree of a court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over such party, or in connection with such party's enforcement of any rights it may have at law or in equity;

(3) on a "need to know" basis to persons within or outside such party's organization, such as attorneys, accountants, bankers, financial advisors and other consultants; or

(4) after such information has become publicly available without breach of this Indenture.

(d) Fees and Costs. In the event of arbitration, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses, from the nonprevailing party.

(e) Location of Arbitration. The arbitration shall take place at a location in an agreed city in the State of New York or such other place as the parties may jointly agree. The arbitrator shall render an award within forty-five (45) days from the conclusion of the arbitration.

(f) Enforcement of Arbitration Decisions. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding and enforced with the same force and effect as a decree of a court having competent jurisdiction as provided under Section 11.1. For this purpose, should the losing party in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.2 refuse to abide by the decision of the arbitrator, the prevailing party may apply to any of the United States District Courts of New York or the New York State Supreme Court to compel enforcement of the arbitrator's award resulting from binding arbitration and each party hereto consents to the jurisdiction of each such court for this purpose. Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall expressly and irrevocably waive its sovereign immunity with respect to the entry of judgment on, and enforcement of, such award by such courts.

SECTION 11.3 Service of Process.

(a) Designation of Service Recipients. In any action or proceeding as to which the Company or a Guarantor has waived its sovereign immunity as set forth in Section 11.1, each of the Company and the Guarantors consents and agrees that process against it shall be effective if served:

(1) on the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors; and

(2) by sending two (2) copies of the process by registered or certified mail to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address set forth in Section 12.2.

(b) Appointment Irrevocable. The Company and the Guarantors irrevocably appoint each of the persons in the foregoing clauses and their respective successors in said offices from time to time, as agent for service of process made in accordance herewith.

The terms of the Notes include those stated in this Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 1, 2008 at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1 of the years indicated below:

Year		Redemption Price
2008		103.625%
2009		101.813%
2010 and thereafter		100.000%

(b) In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to an optional redemption, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are

A-4

listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

6. Gaming Redemption. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, will be deemed to have agreed that if both the New York Gaming Authority and the Seneca Gaming Authority determine, or if the New York Gaming Authority acting alone determines, and a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is notified, that:

(1) the Holder or beneficial owner must obtain a license, qualification or finding of suitability under any applicable gaming law and the Holder or beneficial owner does not apply at its own cost or expense for that license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days, or any shorter period as may be required by such Gaming Authority; or

(2) the Holder or beneficial owner will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable under an applicable gaming law, or any license, qualification or finding of suitability is not renewed upon its expiration or is revoked; or

(3) the Holder or beneficial owner has been found to be unsuitable for licensing;

then the Company, at its option, may:

(1) require that the Holder or beneficial owner dispose of the Holder's or beneficial owner's Notes within 30 days, or any earlier date as may be required by the Gaming Authority, after (A) the termination of the 30-day period described above for the Holder or beneficial owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability, or (B) the receipt of the notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or beneficial owner will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable; or

(2) redeem the Holder's or beneficial owner's Notes at a price equal to the least of (A) 100% of the principal amount thereof, (B) the price at which the Holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes (minus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the time such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes) and (C) the fair market value of the Notes, together with, in each case (other than clause (C)), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the earlier of the date of redemption or such earlier date as may be required by the Gaming Authority or the date of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption, if so ordered by the Gaming Authority.

The Company will comply with the redemption procedures for the Notes as described in the Indenture unless otherwise required by a Gaming Authority.

Immediately upon a determination that a Holder or beneficial owner will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, or that such license, qualification or finding of suitability has been revoked or will not be renewed, (A) the Holder or beneficial owner will have no further rights (1) to exercise any right conferred by the Notes, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other Person or entity, or (2) to receive any interest or other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes or any remuneration in any form from the Company or any of the Guarantors for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes and (B) until such Holder or beneficial owner has disposed of all of its Notes, such Notes shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of approving amendments, supplements, waivers and similar matters under the Indenture.

The Holder or beneficial owner of Notes applying for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability may be required to pay all costs of the licenses or investigation for this qualification or finding of suitability. The Company is not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes who is required to apply for any license, qualification or finding of suitability.

A-5

7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the Redemption Date, interest (including Additional Interest) will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the paying agent for the Notes funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture.

8. Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

9. Registration Rights. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, SNFGC and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the Company will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note for notes of a separate series issued under the Indenture (or a trust indenture substantially identical to the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement) which have been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having substantially identical terms as the Notes. The Holders shall be entitled to receive certain additional interest payments in the event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.

11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.

12. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an "abandoned property" law designates another Person.

13. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company, the Guarantors, SNFGC and the Trustee (if a party thereto) may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, maintaining the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and making any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Company, the Guarantors, SNFGC and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Notes to be affected.

14. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, pay

A-6

dividends on, redeem or repurchase its Capital Stock, make certain investments, sell assets, create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to the Company from its Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create liens and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and requires the Company to provide reports to Holders of the Notes. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Indenture, the Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

15. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article V of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article V, be released from those obligations.

16. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) or (9) of the Indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may declare due and payable, if not already due and payable, the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes; and upon any such declaration all such amounts upon such Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) or (9) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor, then the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article V of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.

17. 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 Trustee.

18. No Recourse Against Others. Neither the Nation nor any member of the Nation, council member, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, attorney, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Nation or holder of an Ownership Interest of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any of its Affiliates under the Notes or the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. Other than as specifically set forth in the Indenture, nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of the sovereign immunity of either the Company or the Nation.

19. Discharge. The Company's obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or

A-7

U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

20. Guarantees. The Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

21. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

22. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Trustee, the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture or the Notes.

23. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TENANT (= 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).

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
