Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

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

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

The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.

Section 2.13. CUSIP, ISIN and Other Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other such numbers (if then generally in use) and, if it does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers in notices


			- 38 -

of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.14. Issuance of Additional Notes.

The Company shall be entitled, from time to time, subject to its compliance with Section 4.08, without the consent of any Holder, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture with identical terms as the Notes issued on the Issue Date other than with respect to (i) the date of issuance, (ii) the issue price, (iii) the amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date and (iv) any changes necessary to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).

For the avoidance of doubt, any Incurrence of Indebtedness which is based upon or made in reliance on a computation based on such internal or publicly reported financial statements, shall be deemed to continue to comply with this Section 4.08, notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments that may result in changes to such internal or publicly reported financial statements.

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

(f) For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(iii) or the creation or incurrence of any Lien pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Company may elect, at its option, to treat all or any portion of the committed amount of any Indebtedness (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) which is to be incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) or secured by such ▇▇▇▇, as the case may be (any such committed amount elected until revoked as described below, the “Reserved Indebtedness Amount”), as being incurred as of such election date, and, if such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is satisfied with respect thereto on such election date, any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be deemed to be permitted under this Section 4.08 or the definition of “Permitted Liens,” as applicable, whether or not such ratio, at the actual time of any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) is met; provided that for purposes of subsequent calculations of such ratios, the Reserved Indebtedness Amount shall be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not such amount is actually outstanding, for so long as such commitments are outstanding or until the Company revokes an election of a Reserved Indebtedness Amount.

(g) With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts (but excluding any amounts incurred under any revolving facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced), the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including a test based on the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (i) the


			- 52 -

Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, and (ii) except as provided in clause (i), pro forma effect shall be given to all applicable and related transactions (including the use of proceeds of all applicable Indebtedness incurred and any repayments, repurchases and redemptions of Indebtedness) and all other adjustments as to which pro forma effect may be given under this Indenture.

Section 4.09. Asset Sales; Event of Loss.

(a) Other than upon an Event of Loss, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale, unless:

(i) 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 Property subject to such Asset Sale;

(ii) at least 75% of such consideration consists of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (i) or (iii) of the definition of “Additional Assets”; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (ii):

(A) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary which is not subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee shall be deemed to be Temporary Cash Investments if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and all other Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, to the extent any of the foregoing are liable with respect to such Indebtedness, are expressly released from all liability for such Indebtedness by the holder thereof in connection with such Asset Sale,

(B) any securities or notes received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Temporary Cash Investments within 30 days of the date of such Asset Sale shall be deemed to be Temporary Cash Investments, and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in an Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received since the Issue Date pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 14.0% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the applicable Reference Period then most recently ended at the time of such Asset Sale; and

(iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to, such Asset Sale.

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

(c) Within 360 days after the receipt of the Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale or Event of Loss, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale or Event of Loss may be applied by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary:


			- 53 -

(i) to repay, redeem or repurchase senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, including Indebtedness under any Credit Facility or the Notes; provided that if any such Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, the related revolving commitments must be reduced by the amount of such repayment and such reduced commitments terminated; or

(ii) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Proceeds received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary);

provided, however, that if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary contractually commits within such 360-day period to apply such Net Proceeds within 180 days of such contractual commitment in accordance with the above clause (i) or (ii), and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied as contemplated in such contractual commitment, then the requirement for application of Net Proceeds set forth in this Section 4.09(c) shall be considered satisfied.

(d) Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or Event of Loss that are not used in accordance with Section 4.09(c) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million the Company shall make an offer to purchase (the “Prepayment Offer”), on a pro rata basis, from all Holders of the Notes, and, at the election of the Company, the Holders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness containing comparable repurchase rights, an aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, such other Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in accordance with Section 4.09(e), (f), (g) and (h). To the extent that any portion of the Excess Proceeds remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders have been given the opportunity to tender the Notes for repurchase in accordance with Section 4.09(e), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for general corporate purposes or the repurchase of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee if required to be repurchased pursuant to their respective terms and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. Pending application of Net Proceeds pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4.09(c), such Net Proceeds shall be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or used to temporarily repay Pari Passu Indebtedness that is revolving Indebtedness.

(e) Within 15 Business Days after the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company shall send a prepayment offer notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders with a copy to the Trustee, accompanied by such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to the Prepayment Offer. The prepayment offer notice shall state, among other things:

(i) that the Company is offering to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.09 of this Indenture;

(ii) that any Note (or any portion thereof) accepted for payment (and for which payment has been duly provided on the purchase date) pursuant to the Prepayment Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the purchase date;

(iii) the purchase price and purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, no less than 30 days nor more than 60 days from the date the Prepayment Offer notice is mailed;

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) to be purchased;

(v) a description of any conditions to such Prepayment Offer; and


			- 54 -

(vi) a description of the procedure which Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

(f) Not later than the purchase date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.09. Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least five Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than three Business Days prior to the purchase date, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder, the certificate number of such Note and a statement that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.

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

(h) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes required by this Section 4.09. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions relating to the Prepayment Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such conflict.

Section 4.10. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, lease or exchange of any Property, the making of any Investment, the giving of any Guarantee or the rendering or receiving of any service) with, from or for the benefit of any Affiliate, any Related Person or any officer or director of any Affiliate or a Related Person involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless:

(i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are in writing, in the best interest of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and at least as favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as those that could be obtained at the time of such Affiliate Transaction in a similar transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate, Related Person or officer or director of an Affiliate or Related Person; and

(ii) with respect to each Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate payments to either party in excess of $30.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction was approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors and that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i).


			- 55 -

(b) Notwithstanding the limitation of Section 4.10(a), the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(i) any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the Issue Date;

(ii) any Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.06;

(iii) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or between two or more of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iv) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of, indemnity provided on behalf of, and reimbursement of expense to, officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(v) any contribution of capital to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.11. Liens.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their Property, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, which secures Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with or is subordinated to the Notes unless:

(a) if such Lien secures Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or any Note Guarantee, the Notes or such Note Guarantee are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured; or

(b) if such Lien secures Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, the Notes or such Note Guarantee are secured on a senior basis to the obligations so secured.

Section 4.12. Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.13. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).


			- 56 -

(b) On or before the 30th day following any Change of Control, the Company shall send a written notice (which notice may be conditional) to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) stating, among other things: (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that all Notes (or portions thereof) timely tendered will be accepted for payment; (ii) the purchase price and the change of control payment date, which date shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (iii) that any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for payment (and for which payment has been duly provided on the Change of Control Payment Date) pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (iv) that any Notes (or portions thereof) not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (v) a description of the transaction or transactions constituting the Change of Control; and (vi) the procedures that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

(c) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the transaction giving rise to the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.13 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable Redemption Date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied.

(d) Not later than the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.13. Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least five Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than three Business Days prior to the purchase date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder, the certificate number of such Note and a statement that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.

(e) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver to the Trustee or cause to be delivered the Notes or portions thereof which have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order, promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book


			- 57 -

entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. A Change of Control Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes and/or the Guarantees; provided that such Change of Control Offer shall not include the delivery of such consents as a condition precedent. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Notes delivered by the Company to the Trustee is less than the amount deposited with the Trustee (or Paying Agent), the Trustee (or Paying Agent) shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(f) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions relating to the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Status as an Investment Company.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, become an “investment company” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the “Investment Company Act”), to the extent such status would subject such Person or any of its Subsidiaries to regulation under the Investment Company Act, except for Subsidiaries established for the purpose of financing the operating businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.15. Business Activities.

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

Section 4.16. Additional Note Guarantees.

If the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Significant Subsidiary, or any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Significant Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture in the form attached as Exhibit E, and the Company shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate satisfying the requirements of this Indenture within 30 days following the date on which it was acquired, created or otherwise became a Significant Subsidiary (or such longer period as may be required to obtain any necessary approvals under applicable Gaming Laws or other regulatory requirements). Any Subsidiary that does not constitute a Significant Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor unless and until such time as it becomes a Significant Subsidiary. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all approvals of any Gaming Authority necessary to permit any Significant Subsidiary to become a Guarantor as promptly as practicable.

Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that:

(i) such designation would not cause a Default;


			- 58 -

(ii) such Subsidiary has no Indebtedness other than Qualified Non-Recourse Debt; and

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

If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.06 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investment,” as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the requirements to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (1) such designation complied with the preceding conditions and (2) was permitted by Section 4.06 and giving the effective date of such designation, such filing with the Trustee to occur within 75 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Company in which such designation is made (or, in the case of a designation made during the last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year, within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year). If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 4.08, the Company will be in default of such covenant.

The Board of Directors may at any time designate, or redesignate, any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation, or redesignation, will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation, or redesignation, will only be permitted if (x) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.08 calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Reference Period and (y) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation or redesignation.

Section 4.18. Limited Condition Transaction.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which is subject to a default or an event of default qualifier or requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted under this Indenture (or any such requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default (other than with respect to any Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (g) of Section 6.01)) will be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements or the date of delivery of the notice of redemption, as the case may be, for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or delivered, as the case may be (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or test (and any


			- 59 -

related requirements and conditions), such ratio or test (and any related requirements and conditions) will be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied). Upon making an LCT Election, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee demonstrating compliance on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction on such LCT Test Date with any relevant ratios or tests. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or tests for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or test, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio or test with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any Permitted Investment, the making of any Asset Sale, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Indenture, any such ratio or test shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis (a) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (b) in the case of a Restricted Payment, assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.

Section 4.19. Suspension of Covenants.

If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following covenants (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

(1) Section 4.06;

(2) Section 4.07;

(3) Section 4.08;

(4) Section 4.09;

(5) Section 4.10;

(6) Section 4.13;

(7) Section 4.15;

(8) Section 4.16;

(9) clause (a)(4) of Section 5.01;

Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Cash Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) both of the Rating Agencies (a) withdraw their Investment Grade


			- 60 -

Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (b) the Company or any of its Affiliates enter into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (b) above. The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.”

In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though the provisions of Section 4.06 had been in effect prior to, but not during the Suspension Period, provided that any Subsidiaries designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall automatically become Restricted Subsidiaries on the Reversion Date (subject to the Company’s right to subsequently designate them as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the covenants set forth under Article 4) and (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(ii). The Company shall provide a written notice to the Trustee upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event or a Reversion Date.

(iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with such transaction or series of transactions), either (x) the Company or the Successor, as the case may be, would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or (y) the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such transaction;

provided that, to the extent the Company is conducting its business in multiple segments, the sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of any one such segment shall not be deemed to constitute “substantially all” of the Company’s Property, determined on a consolidated basis; provided that such sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition (i) is otherwise in compliance with this Indenture and (ii) is not, in the reasonable determination of the Company, expected to materially adversely affect the ability of the Company to make interest or principal payments on the Notes.

ARTICLE 6.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at maturity, upon acceleration, required purchase or otherwise;

(d) the Company or any Guarantor fails to observe, perform or comply with any of the other covenants and agreements in this Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees and such failure to observe, perform or comply continues for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding;

(e) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is not paid when due or within any applicable grace period or is accelerated by the holders thereof and, in either case, the total amount of such unpaid or accelerated Indebtedness exceeds $25.0 million;

(f) the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of one or more judgments or orders against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an uninsured aggregate amount in excess of $25.0 million and such judgment or order is not discharged, waived, stayed or satisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(g) the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case,

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

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

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

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


			- 63 -

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

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

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

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

A Default under clause (e) or (f) of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding notify the Company of the Default; provided that any Default under clause (e) above resulting from a default or acceleration with respect to Indebtedness will not be considered an Event of Default if such default or acceleration is cured or annulled, respectively, within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of such notice of default from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company and/or any Guarantor are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. 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.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

Subject to Section 6.12, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from Section 6.01(g)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding may accelerate the maturity of all the Notes by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on all of the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable. In case an Event of Default resulting from Section 6.01(g) shall occur, the Notes (including any accrued interest) shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in


			- 64 -

exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Event of Default or Default and its consequences hereunder if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree except a continuing Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on a Note. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

(b) the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

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

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


			- 65 -

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal to the extent lawful, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

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

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


			- 66 -

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

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 6.12. Redemption Provision Defaults.

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

ARTICLE 7.
TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

			- 67 -

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee pursuant to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be furnished to it hereunder to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the procedural requirements of this Indenture.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

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

(h) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as duties.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Within 60 days after each December 15 beginning with December 15, 2021, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).


			- 69 -

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee as agreed upon in writing from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company and Guarantors shall jointly and severally fully indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees of counsel and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Guarantor or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by failure of the Trustee to provide timely notice of claims of which a Responsible Officer has actual notice. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

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

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

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

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

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


			- 70 -

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

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 20% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, etc..

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

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

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that (a) has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (b) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank holding company having a consolidated capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 in each case as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any

such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(h), except for Sections 6.01(g) and 6.01(h) with respect to the Company (but not with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

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

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

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

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence or (ii) the repayment of other Indebtedness being repaid concurrently);

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors is bound;


			- 73 -

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

(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with.

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

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Sections 4.09, 4.13 or 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company.

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


			- 74 -

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9.
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors (with respect to any amendment relating to its Note Guarantee) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of a Note to:

(a) cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake, omission, or inconsistency;

(b) provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes or Note Guarantees, as applicable, by a Successor to the Company or a successor to such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5;

(d) add any Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes and to release Note Guarantees when required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture;

(e) secure the Notes;

(f) add to the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or the Note Guarantees or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor;

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

(h) conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantee as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate;

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

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


			- 75 -

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

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors (with respect to any amendment relating to its Note Guarantee) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees without notice to any Holder of Notes but with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, with respect to the amendment, supplement or waiver of any mandatory or optional redemption provisions included in any Additional Notes as contemplated by Section 2.14, the references in the preceding paragraph to Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to refer to a majority in principal amount of the Additional Notes which contain such mandatory or optional redemption provisions.

Upon the written request of the Company and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) (provided that no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in the case of an amendment or supplement for the purpose of adding a Guarantor in accordance with Sections 4.16 and 9.01(d)), the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

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

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


			- 76 -

Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

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

(d) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note, waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note or change the time at which a Note may be redeemed other than provisions relating to the covenants in Sections 4.09 and 4.13;

(e) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest, or premium, if any, on the Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes, except (i) a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, (ii) a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration and (iii) any waiver or modification of the obligation to make a Change of Control Offer as a result of a Change of Control prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control;

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

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

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

In addition, any amendment which releases any Guarantor from its obligations under any Note Guarantee (except as specified in Article 5 or Section 10.02 prior to any such amendment) will require the consent of the Holders of at least 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

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


			- 77 -

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc..

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (other than in the case of an amendment or supplement for the purpose of adding a Guarantor under this Indenture in accordance with Sections 4.16 and 9.01(d)) stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

ARTICLE 10.
NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Note Guarantees.

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

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

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


			- 78 -

(d) Except as set forth in Section 10.02 and Article 8, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not (to the extent lawful) be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by

(i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise;

(ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof;

(iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement;

(iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guarantor Obligations or any of them;

(v) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor;

(vi) any change in the ownership of the Company;

(vii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or

(viii) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 5.01, Section 10.02, Section 11.01 or Article 8. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).


			- 79 -

(g) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed and (ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee.

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

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

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

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

(b) A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and each Guarantor and its obligations under the Note Guarantee and this Indenture shall be released and discharged (except with respect to those obligations of Guarantors under Section 7.07):

(i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.09;

(ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.09 and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(iii) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17; or

(iv) upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.02, Section 8.03, or Section 11.01.

(c) If any Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors will be released from their Note Guarantees.


			- 80 -

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

(e) The release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 shall not preclude the future application of Section 4.17 to such Person.

Section 10.03. Right of Contribution.

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

Section 10.04. No Subrogation.

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

ARTICLE 11.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

(a) either:

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

(ii) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of


			- 81 -

the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02, 8.06, 7.01, 7.02 and 7.07 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money.

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

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

The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(a) Except as set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 3.07 of the Indenture or in any Additional Notes that contain optional redemption provisions in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Indenture, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to July 15, 2024.

On or after July 15, 2024, the Company shall have the option to redeem all or part of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below:


Year			Percentage
2024			102.500%
2025			101.250%
2026 and thereafter			100.000%

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of Section 3.07 of the Indenture, at any time prior to July 15, 2024, the Company may, upon not less than 10 but not more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of such Notes on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that (i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding any such Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and (ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of Section 3.07 of the Indenture, at any time prior to July 15, 2024, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer or a Prepayment Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Company, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Company, repurchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such repurchase), to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to each other Holder in such tender offer (which may be less than par) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on any relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

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


			A-5

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

8. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole, or in part in a principal amount that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on any Change of Control Payment Date plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Payment Date.

On or before the 30th day following any Change of Control, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice regarding the Change of Control Offer to each Holder of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee). The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment with respect thereto, all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest from and after the Change of Control Payment Date.

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the transaction giving rise to the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described in the Indenture, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable Redemption Date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied.

(b) If at any time the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in any Asset Sale and/or suffers (or incurs) an Event of Loss, as a result of which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company shall, within 15 Business Days of the date the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, use the then-existing Excess Proceeds to make an offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis, from all Holders of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any), and at the election of the Company, the holders of any other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness having comparable rights, an aggregate principal amount of Notes, and, if applicable, such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, equal to the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued


			A-6

and unpaid interest thereon. Upon completion of a Prepayment Offer (including payment for accepted Notes), any surplus Excess Proceeds that were the subject of such offer shall cease to be Excess Proceeds, and the Company may then use such amounts for general corporate purposes or for the repurchase of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantees if required to be purchased pursuant to their respective terms.

Within 15 Business Days of the date the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice regarding the Prepayment Offer to each Holder of Notes. The Holder of this Note may elect to have this Note or a portion hereof in an authorized denomination purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Prepayment Offer.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price with respect thereto, all Notes or portions thereof selected for payment pursuant to the Prepayment Offer will cease to accrue interest from and after the purchase date.

9. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may be conditional. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, on and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

In addition, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, required purchase or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to observe, perform or comply with any of the other covenants and agreements in the Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees and such failure to observe, perform or comply continues for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of a written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class; (v) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is not paid when due or within any applicable grace period or is accelerated by the holders thereof and, in either case, the total amount of such unpaid or accelerated Indebtedness exceeds $25.0 million; (vi) the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of one or more judgments or orders against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an uninsured aggregate amount in excess of $25.0 million and such judgment or order is not discharged, waived, stayed or satisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person controlling such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, and such default continues for a period of 10 days. A Default under clause (v) or (vi) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) notify the Company of the Default; provided that any Default under clause (v) above resulting from a default or acceleration with respect to Indebtedness will not be considered an Event of Default if such default or acceleration is cured or annulled, respectively, within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of such notice of default from the Trustee or Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Subject to the following paragraph, if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes then outstanding, will become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.


			A-8

The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes.

The provisions of this Paragraph 13 are subject to certain limitations and exceptions set forth in the Indenture with respect to an Event of Default that occurs by reason of a default with respect to any redemption provisions contained solely in Additional Notes.

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

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

No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
