The Borrower shall deliver, to the Administrative Agent, notice of any such conversion or continuation, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (each a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation"), no later than 8:30 A.M. (California local time) at least one Domestic Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/ continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Euro-Dollar Loan).

2.06 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(b) Not later than 11:00 A.M. (California local time) on the date of each Borrowing, if such Borrowing is to be made in Dollars, each Lender participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its share of such Borrowing in Dollars, in federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address or place.

(c) If any Lender makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection (b), or remitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.17, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.06 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.08 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower pays interest under this subsection (d) at the Federal Funds Rate and the Federal Funds Rate is higher than the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.08, the applicable Lender shall pay the Borrower the difference between such rates.

2.07 Notes.

(a) The Committed Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment.

(b) [RESERVED.]

(c) Upon receipt of each Lender's Note pursuant to Section 3.02(b), the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Lender. Each Lender shall record the date, amount, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

2.08 Interest Rates.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus any applicable Base Rate Margin. Such interest shall be payable on the last Domestic Business Day of each calendar quarter in arrears and on the Termination Date. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus any applicable Base Rate Margin plus 2% per annum.

(b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus (b) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher ¹/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for such period of time not longer than 6 months as the Administrative Agent may elect) deposits in Dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due to the Administrative Agent are offered to the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day).

(d) [RESERVED.]

(e) [RESERVED.]

(f) The Administrative Agent shall determine in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.09 Upfront Fees. On the date upon which this Agreement is executed, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender non-refundable upfront fees in the amounts set forth in letter agreements between each Lender and the Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager and advised by the Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager to the Borrower.

Facility fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on December 1, 2001 and on the first day of each subsequent March, June, September and December and upon the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety, and are non-refundable.

2.11 [RESERVED.]

2.12 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments by the Borrower. During the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may, upon at least five Domestic Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably and permanently reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or any larger amount in multiples of $1,000,000, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans.

2.13 Optional Termination of Commitments by the Lenders. Following the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Required Lenders may in their sole and absolute discretion elect, during the sixty day period immediately subsequent to the later of (a) such occurrence and (b) the earlier of (i) receipt of the Borrower's written notice to the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and (ii) if no such notice has been received by the Administrative Agent, the date upon which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have actual knowledge thereof, to terminate all of the Commitments. In any such case the Commitments shall be terminated effective on the date which is sixty days subsequent to the date of written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower thereof, and, to the extent that there is then any Debt evidenced by the Notes, the same shall be immediately due and payable.

2.14 Scheduled Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date and any Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date.

2.15 Extensions of the Termination Date. The Termination Date may be extended, in the manner set forth in this Section, for a period of 364 days after the date on which the Termination Date would otherwise have occurred. If the Borrower wishes to extend the Termination Date, it shall give written notice to that effect to the Administrative Agent not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to the then current Termination Date, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such notice. Each Lender will respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, within the period which ends 20 days following the Borrower's request. If a Lender or Lenders respond negatively or fail to timely respond to such request (each non-responding Lender being conclusively deemed to refuse to consent to the extension), but such non-extending Lender(s) have Commitment(s) aggregating less than 33¹/3% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek a mutually satisfactory substitute financial institution or financial institutions (which may be one or more of the Lenders) to assume the Commitment(s) of such non-extending Lender(s). Not later than the third Domestic Business Day prior to the then effective Termination Date, the Borrower may designate one or more new financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to assume the Commitments of such non-extending Lenders, whereupon the aggregate amount of such Commitment(s) shall be assumed by such substitute financial institution or financial institutions on the then current Termination Date. So long as Lenders having Commitment(s) totaling not less than 66²/3% of the aggregate amount of the Commitment(s) shall have responded affirmatively to such a request then, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed and signed by the Borrower and each of the affirmatively responding Lenders, the

Termination Date shall be extended, effective on such extension date, for a period of 364 days to the date stated in such Extension Agreement.

2.16 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Subject in the case of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing to Section 2.18, the Borrower may, upon at least one Domestic Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing, or upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, with respect to any Euro-Dollar Borrowing, prepay any Euro-Dollar Borrowing, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such Borrowing.

(b) [RESERVED.]

(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

2.17 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, Loans and of fees hereunder, in Dollars not later than 11:00 A.M. (California local time) on the date when due, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01, without offset or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, in Dollars and in the type of funds received by the Administrative Agent. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

2.18 Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan (pursuant to Article VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.06(a), the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in

obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.19 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Reference Rate and all fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

2.20 Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five Domestic Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 ECI further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

2.21 [RESERVED.]

2.22 Regulation D Compensation. Each Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender at a rate per annum determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then due it under this Section.

2.23 Increased Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a) Subsequent to the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon at least 30 days notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments and the Other Commitments by an aggregate amount not to exceed $593,000,000 (the amount of any such increase of the Commitments being referred to as the "Increased Commitments"). Each Lender party to this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase

its Commitment by a principal amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased Commitments as its then Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments then existing. Each Lender which fails to respond to any such request shall be conclusively deemed to have refused to consent to an increase in its Commitment.

(b) If any Lender party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower may designate another Person which qualifies as an Eligible Assignee (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to (i) in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such Person (an "Additional Lender"), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.

(c) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Borrower, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

The Borrower (a) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, (b) has all corporate powers and authority and all material governmental licenses (including, without limitation, any such license issued by a Gaming Board), authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted and (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing and operation of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification.

4.02 Corporate and Governmental Authorization; Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the Notes are within the Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Agency and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower and the Notes, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

4.04 Financial Information. Since December 31, 2001, there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

4.05 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Borrower's form 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2001 or in its 10-Q reports for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or which in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Notes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to those litigation matters described above as reported in the Borrower's aforementioned form 10-K or 10-Q reports, (a) the disclosure contained therein was accurate as of the date of thereof, and (b) since such date there has been no material adverse development.

4.06 Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV or ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

Each of the Significant Subsidiaries (a) is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, (b) has all corporate or other powers and authority and all material governmental licenses (including, without limitation, any such license issued by a Gaming Board), authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted and (c) is duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing and operation of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

4.09 Not an Investment Company. The Borrower is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

4.10 Environmental Matters. The Borrower has reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

(b) The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to, maintain (either in the name of the Borrower or in such Subsidiary's own name) with financially sound and responsible insurance companies, insurance on all their respective properties in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (and with such risk retention) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies of established repute engaged in the same or a similar business and will furnish to the Lenders, upon request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried.

(f) any Lien arising out of the refinancing, extension, renewal or refunding of any Debt secured by any Lien permitted by any of the foregoing clauses of this Section, provided that such Debt is not increased (other than to cover any transaction costs of such refinancing, extension, renewal or refunding) and is not secured by any additional assets;

(g) Liens securing Debt of a Subsidiary to the Borrower or another Subsidiary; and

(h) Liens not otherwise permitted by the foregoing clauses of this Section encumbering assets of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries having an aggregate fair market value which is

7.02 Agents and Affiliates. Bank of America and the other Agents shall each have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and each may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not an Agent, and Bank of America and the other Agents and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if they were not Agents hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

8.01 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that deposits in Dollars and in the required amounts are not being offered to the Lenders in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b) in the case of a Committed Borrowing, Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Fixed Rate Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any election by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence.

8.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro-Dollar Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable

Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Fixed Rate Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Fixed Rate Loans or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's principal executive office or Applicable Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding, with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy (irrespective of the actual timing of the adoption or implementation thereof and including, without limitation, any law or regulation adopted pursuant to the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or

amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

8.04 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days, prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed Rate Loans of the other Lenders), and

(b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

9.01 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, telecopy or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at its address or telex or telecopier number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Lender, at its address or telex or telecopier number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address or telex or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telex, when such telex is transmitted to the telex number specified in this Section and the appropriate answer back is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered or received at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article II or Article VIII shall not be effective until received.

9.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

9.03 Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (including the allocated fees and expenses of any internal counsel), in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and all related documents, the negotiation, closing and syndication of this Agreement and the Loans, and in connection with any waiver, amendment or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of any internal counsel), in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, mortgage recording taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery or enforcement of this Agreement and the Notes.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, the Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of any internal counsel), which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

9.04 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made or be effective unless such amendment or waiver is in writing

and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Lenders, (i) increase or decrease the amount of the Commitment of any Lender without the consent of that Lender (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Lenders) or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder, or the Termination Date (except as contemplated by Section 2.15), (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the percentage of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, or (v) render more restrictive the ability of any Lender to assign or grant participations in its Commitment under Section 9.05.

9.05 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

(b) From time to time following the date upon which this Agreement is executed, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Commitment; provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a portion of the Commitments that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000, and (iv) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, but not earlier than the date which is five Domestic Business Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Commitment therein set forth and, to the extent of such Commitment, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that they shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to the Borrower of its Note) to such assignee Lender, a Note evidencing that assignee Lender's Commitment, and to the assigning Lender, a Note evidencing the remaining Commitment retained by the assigning Lender.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Commitment being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in

connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Commitment held by each Lender, giving effect to each Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by the Borrower upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm to any requesting Lender the amount of its Commitment set forth in the Register. After receipt of a completed Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide to the Borrower and the affected Lenders confirmation of the changes in their respective Commitments. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Commitments listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any Commitment shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment and Assumption Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitment.

(e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations in its Commitment to one or more Lenders, other financial institutions or special purpose trusts; provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating Lenders or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 2.22, 8.03 and 9.03 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to the Borrower does not exceed the cost which the Borrower would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender's Commitment as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitments, or in the granting Lender's Commitment, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which

result in (A) a decrease in fees, interest rate spreads or principal payable to the holder of such participation, (B) increase the Commitment of the granting Lender and thereby increase the funding requirements of the holder of such a participation, or (C) extend the Termination Date.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to one or more special purpose funding vehicles (each, an "SPC") of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and each SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained. Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower and each other party shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the related Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof with respect to any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, each SPC may, at any time, without regard to the period required by Section 9.05(b)(iv), (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder), and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section 9.05(f) may not be amended without the consent of all SPC's then designated to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section.

9.06 Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to each Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

9.07 California Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California and of any California State court sitting in Los Angeles, California for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower irrevocably, waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or

hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.08 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

9.09 Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several. Neither the failure of any Lender to carry out its obligations hereunder nor the failure of this Agreement to be duly authorized, executed and delivered by any Lender shall relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder (or affect the rights hereunder of such other Lender). No Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other Lender hereunder.

9.10 Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Notes. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

9.12 Confidentiality. The Lenders hereby agree to hold any confidential information that they may receive from Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to their respective Affiliates and to other parties to this Agreement; (b) to legal counsel and accountants for any such party; (c) to other professional advisors to any such party, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this paragraph or has notified such professional advisors of the confidentiality of such information; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e) to any Gaming Board; (f) as required by law or legal process (provided that the Lender shall endeavor, to the extent it may do so under applicable law, to give the Borrower reasonable prior notice thereof to allow the Borrower to seek a protective order) or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and the Borrower are adverse parties; and (g) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Note, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting the Borrower or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by them to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any governmental agency and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public

medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to any person not associated therewith without a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of any Lender.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Schedule 1—Pricing Schedule—Short Term Credit Facility

This Schedule 1 is attached to and made a part of the Short Term Credit Agreement dated as of August 22, 2002 among Park Place Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the Lenders, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Banc of America Securities, LLC as Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager (the "Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 1 are used with the meanings set forth for those terms in the Credit Agreement.

The "Euro-Dollar Margin," "Base Rate Margin," and "Facility Fee Rate" referred to in the Credit Agreement shall be determined for any day on the basis of the Status (as defined below) of the Borrower as of that date, provided, that in the event that the Borrower fails to deliver any Compliance Certificate or Pricing Certificate on the date when required by Section 5.01, and it is ultimately determined that the Status of the Borrower would have been changed on the basis of such delivery, then (a) the rate at which interest and facility fees accrue under the Credit Agreement shall be increased in accordance with this Schedule, with retroactive effect to the first day of the Pricing Period to which such Compliance Certificate relates, and (b) the Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days of a request by the Administrative Agent, make such additional payments to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent as are required to give effect to such increased interest rates and facility fees in respect of any payments previously made by the Borrower. As of each date of determination, the Euro-Dollar Margin and Facility Fee Rates shall equal the percentages set forth below under the column corresponding to the Status that exists on such day, provided that the Euro-Dollar Margin shall be increased or decreased by the "Margin Adjustment" described below:

Status		Level I		Level II		Level III		Level IV		Level V		Level VI
Facility Fee Rate		0.080	%	0.100	%	0.125	%	0.150	%	0.200	%	0.250	%
Euro-Dollar Margin		0.520	%	0.650	%	0.875	%	0.975	%	1.175	%	1.500	%

The "Base Rate Margin" shall, as of each date of determination, be the percentage, not less than 0.000% per annum, which is equal to the then prevailing Euro-Dollar Margin (after adjustment upwards or downwards by the Margin Adjustment), minus 1.250%.

As of each date of determination, the Status of the Borrower shall be determined on the basis of:

(a) the Borrower's Debt Rating as of that date; or

(b) the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending immediately prior to the first day of the Pricing Period in which such date of determination occurs (the "Applicable Leverage Ratio");

whichever such criteria yields the more favorable pricing to the Borrower according to the following standards:

"Level I Status" exists at any date if, at such date, either (x) the Debt Rating assigned by S&P is A- or higher or the Debt Rating assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ is A3 or higher, or (y) the Applicable Leverage Ratio is less than 1.50:1.

"Level II Status" exists at any date if, at such date, (i) either (x) the Debt Rating assigned by S&P is BBB+ or higher or the Debt Rating assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ is Baa1 or higher, or (y) the Applicable Leverage Ratio is less than 2.25:1 and (ii) Level I Status does not exist.

"Level III Status" exists at any date, if, at such date, (i) either (x) the Debt Rating assigned by S&P is BBB or higher or the Debt Rating assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ is Baa2 or higher, or (y) the Applicable Leverage Ratio is less than 3.00:1 and (ii) neither Level I Status nor Level II Status exists.

"Level IV Status" exists at any date, if, at such date, (i) either (x) the Debt Rating assigned by S&P is BBB- or higher or the Debt Rating assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ is Baa3 or higher, or (y) the Applicable Leverage Ratio is less than 3.75:1 and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status exists.

"Level V Status" exists at any date, if, at such date, (i) either (x) the Debt Rating assigned by S&P is BB+ or higher or the Debt Rating assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ is Ba1 or higher or (y) the Applicable Leverage Ratio is less than 4.25:1 and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status exists.

"Level VI Status" exists at any date if, at such date, no such other Status exists.

For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final two paragraphs of this Schedule:

"Margin Adjustment" means, (a) as of any date of determination when the Applicable Leverage Ratio is in excess of 3.50:1 but equal to or less than 4.00:1, an incremental interest margin of 0.075% per annum to be added to the Euro-Dollar Margin in determining the rate applicable to Euro Dollar Loans, (b) as of any date of determination when the Applicable Leverage Ratio is in excess of 4.00:1 but equal to or less than 4.75:1, an incremental interest margin of 0.150% per annum to be added to the Euro-Dollar Margin in determining the rate applicable to Euro-Dollar Loans, (c) as of any date of determination when the Applicable Leverage Ratio is in excess of 4.75:1, an incremental interest margin of 0.225% per annum to be added to the Euro-Dollar Margin in determining the rate applicable to Euro-Dollar Loans, and (d) as of any date of determination when the Applicable Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00:1, a deduction of 0.075% per annum to be subtracted from the Euro-Dollar Margin in determining the rate applicable to Euro-Dollar Loans.

"Debt Rating" means, as of any date of determination, the rating assigned by the Rating Agencies to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Borrower without third-party credit enhancement (and any rating assigned to any other debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded) as of the close of business on such date, provided that (a) if such securities receive a split-rating and the rating differential is one level, the higher of the two ratings will apply (e.g. A-/Baa1 results in Level I Status), and (b) if the Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential is more than one level, the average of the two ratings (or the higher of any two intermediate ratings) shall be used (e.g., A-/Baa2 results in Level II Status, as does A-/Baa3).
