Any such reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in Cash into a cash collateral account subject to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Borrower shall provide each of the Term Loan Lenders and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders with five (5) Business Days prior written notice of each such prepayment and any Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, at its option, may elect, so long as there are any Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding, not to accept its ratable portion of such prepayment in which event the provisions of the next sentence shall apply. Any Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender declining such prepayment (each such Lender being a “Declining Term Loan Lender” and the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment being the “Declined Term Amount”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit S (each, a “Declining Lender Notice”), by 11:00 A.M. (New York City Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be made and then the Declined Term Amount for all Declining Term Loan Lenders may be retained by the Borrower; provided, that if part or all of a Declined Term Amount consists of proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Collateral (“Collateral Proceeds”), the portion of any Declined Term Amount that consists of Collateral Proceeds shall be paid to all Lenders that are not Declining Term Loan Lenders (the “Accepting Term Loan Lenders,” and each such Accepting Term Loan Lender being an “Accepting Term Loan Lender”) on a pro-rata basis based upon the total amount outstanding (including all accrued but unpaid interest) then owed by Borrower to each such Accepting Term Loan Lender along with any prepayment amount to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.13; provided, further, that in the event that the Collateral Proceeds exceed the total amount owed to Accepting Term Loan Lenders following mandatory prepayments under this Section 2.13 (other than the Collateral Proceeds), such amount shall be returned to the Borrower.

2.14 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.15 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.16 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(c) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or the amount of any Reimbursement Obligation or the amount of any other obligation hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such unpaid amount (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations or any other obligations hereunder, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until the date such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.17 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest, fees, commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.16(a).

2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders

(as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.19 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages, Delayed Draw Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied pro rata to the installments of such Term Loans. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be allocated among the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loans held by such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied pro rata to the installments of such Delayed Draw Term Loans. Amounts prepaid on account of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

(e) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans

(except in the case of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(f) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(h) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing

herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(i) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Obligations.

2.20 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.21 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and setting forth in such notice, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations

hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the additional amount sought), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as set forth in the aforesaid notice; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this clause (b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder that would have been received hereunder or under any other Loan Document had such withholding not been required; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this

paragraph (a). The Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall make any such required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit J and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such

completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

2.22 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.23 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.22.

2.24 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.20, 2.21(a) or 2.23 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, 2.21(a) or 2.23.

2.25 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owning pursuant to Sections 2.20(a) or 2.21(a), (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.23 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section 2.23 is required to be taken, (c) becomes a defaulting Lender, and (d) refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 10.1, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from such Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, accrued interest, fees and/or breakage costs) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) such Assignee is able to make, maintain or continue, as applicable, Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable Law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit and, to the extent available from such Issuing Lender, commercial letters of credit (collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing

Lender and the Administrative Agent at their addresses for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after receipt by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee (in an amount to be agreed to by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender) on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office

(and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent, for the account of an Issuing Lender, pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, who shall notify such L/C Participant and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent or any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such L/C Participant), its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender), the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the

applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.16(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.16(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition.

(b) The audited consolidated and unaudited consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of December 31, 2004, and as of the most recent fiscal year for which financial statements are required to be delivered under Section 6.1(a) and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, in the case of consolidated financial statements, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

(c) The unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of September 30, 2005, and as of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to be delivered under Section 6.1(b) and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal quarter and the year-to-date ended on such dates, in each case, present fairly the consolidated and consolidating financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated and consolidating results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal period then ended (subject to year end adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

(d) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases other than those not prohibited hereunder or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without

limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this Section 4.1.

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2004 there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, other than the property damage to and effects on the operating results of the Biloxi Property, the New Orleans Property and the Lake Xxxxxxx Property, in each case, resulting from Hurricane Xxxxxxx and/or Hurricane Xxxx.

4.3 Organizational Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Organizational Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect; and certain consents, authorization, filings and notices specifically identified on Schedule 4.4 which have not been obtained, but have been requested and are anticipated to be received in the due course of business of the applicable party from whom such consent or authorization has been requested, and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and Section 6.11. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings

hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except proceedings of the Gaming Boards identified on Schedule 4.4, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has marketable and insurable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material Property, and the Property is not subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3, except that the St. Louis County Ground Lease, prior to the approval of the St. Louis County Project by the appropriate Gaming Board, provides the lessor thereof rights to terminate such lease.

4.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries own, or are licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of their business as currently conducted, taken as a whole. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property in a manner that reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect in a manner that reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than those with respect to which the amount or validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and no tax Lien, other than Liens permitted under Section 7.3(a), has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect) in a manner that is in violation of any of the Regulations of the Board or for any purpose that otherwise violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code except where such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

4.15 Subsidiaries.

(a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower at the Effective Date. Schedule 4.15 sets forth as of the Effective Date the name and jurisdiction of formation of each Subsidiary and, as to each Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each Loan Party. Schedule 4.15 also identifies all of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Immaterial Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(b) As of the Effective Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than (a) stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares, and (b) with respect to the Capital Stock of the Borrower, subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments to which the Borrower is not a party) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15.

4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including (i) to repay the term loans under the Existing Credit Facility and for fees and expenses associated therewith, (ii) to pay the fees and expenses related to this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, and (ii) to pay for all or a portion of the Expenses associated with the St. Louis City Project, the St. Louis County Project, the Biloxi Property and any other development property. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including (i) to pay for all or a portion of the Expenses associated with the St. Louis City Project, the St. Louis County Project, the Biloxi Property and any other development property, and (ii) to pay the fees and expenses related to this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement.

4.17 Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries: (i) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for any of their current or intended operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any of them; (iii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits; and (iv) reasonably believe that: each of their Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense; any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense.

(b) Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which

Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened.

(d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

(e) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law.

(f) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Material of Environmental Concern.

4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of this Agreement), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Agents and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

4.19 Security Documents.

(a) The Security Documents (other than Post-Closing Gaming Pledge Agreements) are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. From and after execution and delivery thereof, the Post-Closing Gaming Pledges will be effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock pledged in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, when any certificates representing such Pledged Stock that is a security under Section 8-102(a)(15) of the UCC are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Security Documents as to which a security interest can be perfected by filing of the UCC financing statement, when UCC financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a) (which financing statements have been duly completed and delivered to the Administrative Agent), the security interests created by the Security Documents securing such Collateral shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

(b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof; and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(b) (in the case of the Mortgages to be executed and delivered on the Effective Date) or in the recording office designated by the Borrower (in the case of any Mortgage to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 6.10(b)), each Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties described therein and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances or rights permitted by the relevant Mortgage).

4.20 Solvency. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

4.21 Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations constitute “Senior Debt” of the Borrower under and as defined in the Indentures. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty constitute “Guarantor Senior Indebtedness” of such Subsidiary Guarantor under and as defined in the Indentures.

4.22 Regulation H. No Mortgage encumbers improved real property which is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (except any Mortgaged Properties as to which

such flood insurance as required by Regulation H has been obtained and is in full force and effect as required by this Agreement).

4.23 Gaming Laws. The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable Gaming Laws in all respects which are applicable to the operations, businesses and prospects of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole except where such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.24 Insurance Proceeds. The Estimated Business Interruption Insurance included in the most recent certificate delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.2 is a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount to be received with respect to business interruption insurance for the applicable periods with respect to the Property of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

SECTION 9.

THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each

Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans or other credit advances hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that

may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Effective upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no

successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.

9.11 The Arrangers; the Syndication Agent; the Documentation Agent. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, and neither shall incur liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.

In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the “Additional Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference to the Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an amendment to this Agreement entered into in connection with the establishment of the Incremental Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 shall not require the approval of the Lenders and shall be effective upon the execution of an amendment (consistent with the terms of Section 2.8) of this Agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower.

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 2.22 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.21, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x) that no such consent need be obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates and (y) the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower or, the Agents or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, Related Fund or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 as to the Revolving Credit Facility, $1,000,0000 as to the Term Loan Facility or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities, but shall be a ratable portion of each Facility so assigned. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its

101

obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. A list of current Lenders will be made available for any Lender who requests same while any amendment to this Agreement is pending.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note, Term Note and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note, Term Note and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note, Term Note

102

and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, or, in the case of a Lender which is a fund, to any holders of obligations owned or securities issued by such Lender or to any trustee for, or other representatives of, such holders. No such assignments creating security interest shall require the consent or approval of either the Administrative Agent or Borrower (provided, however, any absolute assignments do require such consent and approval as provided in this Section 10.6).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (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. 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 such 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 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 commercial paper or other 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 under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

103

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for Cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall timely, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice of such disposition (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.

106

Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to (a) any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, the Borrower’s manner of accounting addressed in the preferability letter from the Borrower’s independent auditors to the Borrower in order for such auditor to deliver an opinion to the Borrower’s financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 without qualification.

1.4 No Paraphs. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge that neither the Notes, any other note nor any other written evidence of indebtedness has been paraphed for identification with this Mortgage.

2. Assignment of Rents and Leases.

2.1 Absolute Assignment. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all of the right, title and interest which Trustor now has or may later acquire in and to the Rents and the Leases, and confers upon Beneficiary the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), to collect such Rents and enforce the provisions of the Leases with or without taking possession of the Property. The assignment of Leases and Rents to Beneficiary herein is made pursuant to La. R.S. § 9:4401.

2.2 Prior to an Event of Default. Beneficiary shall have the right to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.1, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the assignment of Leases and Rents to Beneficiary shall become absolute as provided in La. R.S. § 9:4401.

2.3 Grant of License. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its absolute discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Trustor, and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security under this Mortgage; provided further that until Beneficiary has terminated the License as provided herein, Trustor may continue to collect and retain the Rents pursuant to the License.

2.4 Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Trustor under Section 2.3 above, and only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents and exercise Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases. Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its mandatory attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform any and all of the following acts upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if and at the times when Beneficiary, in its absolute discretion, may so choose:

(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents and any other right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases;

FORM OF MORTGAGE

(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents and any other obligations and duties under the Leases; or

(c) Xxx either in the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all Rents and to enforce any other obligations and duties under the Leases.

Beneficiary’s right to the Rents and the Leases does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property as permitted under Section 6.2.3 hereof, or as permitted under applicable law. In Beneficiary’s absolute discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents and exercise the right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases either with or without taking possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.5. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Property as Keeper (hereinafter defined) thereof or otherwise and is collecting and applying Rents and exercising any right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases as permitted under this Mortgage, then Beneficiary and any Keeper shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage and at law and in equity.

2.5 Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any duty to produce Rents from the Property or maintain the Leases. Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Land and Improvements as Keeper or otherwise, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:

(a) a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose;

(b) responsible for performing any of the obligations under any Lease;

(c) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or

(d) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it.

2.6 Leasing. Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of Rents for any period exceeding one month, and Trustor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan Documents. Trustor shall not apply any Rents in any manner prohibited by the Loan Documents.

FORM OF MORTGAGE

3. Grant of Security Interest.

3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Mortgage to create a lien on and security interest in the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some of the Rents and Leases may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases constitute personal property, Trustor, as debtor, hereby grants to Beneficiary, as secured party, a security interest in all such Property, Rents and Leases, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and Trustor, as debtor, also has granted a security interest in such Property, Rents and Leases pursuant to a certain Security Agreement of even date herewith, executed by Trustor and by certain other parties, as debtors, in favor of Beneficiary, as secured party. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under Chapter 9 of the Louisiana Commercial Laws, La. R.S. § 10:91-101 et seq. (“Chapter 9”), as amended or recodified from time to time, covering all such Property, Rents and Leases. To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases are not immovable property encumbered by the lien created by Section 1.1, above, and are not assigned by the assignment set forth in Section 2.1, above, it is the intention of the parties that such Property, Rents and/or Leases shall constitute “proceeds, products, offspring, or profits” and/or “rents” of the Land and Improvements, and/or “fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in ... lodging properties,” as applicable (as such terms are defined in and for the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be modified or supplemented).

3.2 Financing Statements. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute one or more financing statements and such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property, Rents or Leases. As provided in Section 5.11, Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. If Trustor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful mandatory attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Mortgage or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.

4. Intentionally Omitted.

5. Rights and Duties of the Parties.

5.1 Representations and Warranties. Trustor represents and warrants that, except as previously disclosed to Beneficiary in Schedule 7.3(f) attached to the Credit Agreement:

(e) Trustor’s correct name and federal employer identification number are as set forth on the first Page hereof.

5.2 Taxes and Assessments. To the extent required under the Credit Agreement, Trustor shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, levies, charges and assessments, including assessments on appurtenant water stock, imposed by any public or quasi-public authority or utility company which are (or if not paid, may become) a lien on or security interest in all or part of the Property or any interest in it, or which may cause any decrease in the value of the Property or any part of it. If any such taxes, levies, charges or assessments become delinquent, Beneficiary may require Trustor to present evidence that they have been paid in full, on ten days’ written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor. This Section 5.2 is subject to the right granted to Trustor in the Credit Agreement to contest in good faith certain taxes, assessments, charges and levies (and Trustor’s failure to pay any immaterial tax shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder to the extent Trustor is excused from paying such tax pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement); otherwise, should Trustor fail to pay any of the aforesaid taxes, levies, charges or assessments prior to the date that same become delinquent, Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such taxes, levies, charges and assessments and all amounts advanced by Beneficiary for such purpose, together with interest thereon at the rate of 2.0% above the Base Rate from the fifth day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

(d) All interest which may accrue on any of the foregoing.

5.5.2 Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary in writing if:

(b) Any offer is made, or any action or proceeding is commenced, which relates to any actual or proposed condemnation or taking of all or material part of the Property.

Beneficiary, if it so chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding relating to condemnation or taking of all or part of the Property, and may join Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful mandatory and attorney-in-fact for all such purposes. The power of attorney granted hereunder

FORM OF MORTGAGE

is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written approval of Beneficiary.

5.5.4 All proceeds of these assigned claims, other property and rights which Trustor may receive or be entitled to (collectively, “Proceeds”) shall be administered in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.13 thereof. Any and all Proceeds (including, without limitation, any Net Claims Proceeds) held by Beneficiary from time to time shall be collateral for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in and lien on such Proceeds and all rights and remedies available under applicable laws with respect to such Proceeds, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies under Chapter 9. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary and the Lenders any and all documents reasonably requested by Beneficiary in order to confirm, create and perfect such security interest in and lien on such Proceeds.

5.5.5 Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner granted under applicable laws which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder up to the principal amount of Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement, and any other law or successor statute of similar import. Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all right to recover against Beneficiary or any Lender (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of Beneficiary or any Lender) for any loss incurred by Trustor from any cause insured against or required by any Loan Document to be insured against; provided, however, that this waiver of subrogation shall not be effective with respect to any insurance policy if the coverage thereunder would be materially reduced or impaired as a result.

5.6.2 Subject to the terms of Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement, if all or part of the Property becomes damaged or destroyed and Trustor elects to repair and/or restore all or part of the Property, Trustor shall promptly and completely repair and/or restore the Property in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with sound building practices. If Trustor elects to repair and/or restore all or part of the Property, Trustor shall be obligated to repair and/or restore the Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence even if no insurance proceeds are available or the available insurance proceeds are not sufficient to pay for the entire cost of such repair and/or restoration.

5.6.3 Trustor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable law or order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen (except to the extent that noncompliance would not cause a Material Adverse Effect or a License Revocation); or (ii) any public or private covenant, condition, restriction, equitable servitude or Contractual Obligation affecting the Property (except to the extent such violation is being contested by Trustor in good faith by appropriate proceedings or such violation would not cause a Material Adverse Effect).

5.6.5 Should Trustor fail to perform its obligations under this Section 5.6, Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance funds for the protection, preservation, repair or recovery of the Property, and all amounts so advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at 2.0% above the Base Rate from the fifth day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

Such termination shall not become effective, and Beneficiary shall not be obligated to execute such a release, until sixty (60) days after Beneficiary has actually received such notice in the manner required by Section 9.11 hereof and until Beneficiary has determined, in good faith, that Trustor is entitled to terminate this Mortgage and obtain such release under the terms of this Section 5.10.

FORM OF MORTGAGE

reasonable written advance notice to enter and visit the Property for the purposes of observing the Property, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property. Beneficiary or its agents and representatives have no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit or observation by Beneficiary or its agents or representatives shall impose any liability on Beneficiary or any other person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”). In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party be a representation that Materials of Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on, or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law, or any other applicable Law. Neither Trustor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties owe no duty of care to protect Trustor or any other person against, or to inform Trustor or any other person of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Beneficiary shall give Trustor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Beneficiary shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Trustor’s use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section.

6. Defaults and Remedies.

6.1 Events of Default. Trustor will be in default under this Mortgage upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document) or any other default herein (subject to any cure periods applicable to defaults under the Loan Documents as provided in the Credit Agreement).

6.2 Remedies. At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and provided that Beneficiary has received any consents or approvals of any other Lenders to the extent required under the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary will be entitled to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and any other rights and/or remedies available to Beneficiary at law or in equity (subject to any restrictions on those rights and remedies imposed by

FORM OF MORTGAGE

applicable Gaming Laws), all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall not constitute an election of remedies:

6.2.1 Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately without notice to or demand upon Borrower, Trustor or any other person or entity. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary and the Lenders are making one or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Borrower and Trustor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract.

6.2.2 Receiver or Keeper. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver or Keeper for the Property; and Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may request, in connection with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Louisiana Gaming Control Board petition a District Court of the State of Louisiana for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal gaming activities on the Property concurrently with or following such foreclosure proceeding.

6.2.3 Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver or Keeper, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include, without limitation: taking and possessing all of Trustor’s or the then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Land. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor’s mandatory and attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name on any instruments. Regardless of any provision of this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any personal or movable property in satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary unless Beneficiary has given express written notice of Beneficiary’s election of that remedy in accordance with La. R.S. § 10:9-505, as it may be amended or recodified from time to time.

6.2.4 Cure; Protection of Security. Beneficiary may cure any breach or default of Trustor and, if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which either may in its absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include, without limitation: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary under, this Mortgage; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien, security interest or claim of lien or security interest which (in Beneficiary’s sole judgment) is or may be senior in priority to this Mortgage, such judgment of Beneficiary to be conclusive as among the parties to

FORM OF MORTGAGE

this Mortgage; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents; otherwise caring for and protecting, preserving, repairing or recovering any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary. Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under this Section 6.2.4 upon giving Trustor prior written notice of such action(s), or if Beneficiary has reasonably determined that providing such prior written notice is not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

6.2.5 Chapter 9 Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time.

6.2.6 Judicial Action. Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or other terms of this Mortgage.

6.2.7 Power of Sale. Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.

(a) Sales of Personal Property.

(i) Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which are fixtures, as defined in Chapter 9, which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of immovable property, in any manner permitted by Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not cure any Event of Default.

(ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Trustor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale as required by Chapter 9. Once per week during the three weeks immediately preceding such sale, Beneficiary will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

6.2.8 Foreclosure Sales.

(a) For purposes of executory process under applicable Louisiana law, Trustor hereby acknowledges the Secured Obligations, CONFESSES JUDGMENT

thereon and consents that judgment be rendered and signed, whether during the court’s term or during vacation, in favor of the Beneficiary, for the full amount of the Secured Obligations, including but not limited to the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other Secured Obligations, in principal, interest, costs and attorney’s fees, together with all charges and expenses whatsoever owing pursuant to this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and in addition to all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Mortgage and applicable law, Beneficiary may, at its option, cause all or any part of the Property to be seized and sold (any such sale or disposition being referred to herein as a “Foreclosure Sale”) under executory process or under writ of fieri facias issued in execution of an ordinary judgment obtained upon the Secured Obligations, without appraisement to the highest bidder, for cash or upon such terms as Beneficiary deems acceptable. Trustor hereby waives all and every appraisement of the Property and waives and renounces the benefit of appraisement and the benefit of all laws relative to the appraisement of the Property seized and sold under executory or other legal process. Trustor agrees to waive, and does hereby specifically waive:

(i) the benefit of appraisement provided for in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws conferring such benefits;

(ii) the demand and three (3) days delay accorded by Articles 2639 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(iii) the notice of seizure required by Articles 2293 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(iv) the three (3) days delay provided by Articles 2331 and 2722, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(v) the benefit of the other provisions of Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(vi) the benefit of the provisions of any other articles of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure not specifically mentioned above; and

(vii) all pleas of division and discussion with respect to the Secured Obligations.

In the event Beneficiary elects, at its option, to enter suite via ordinaria on the Secured Obligations, in addition to the foregoing confession of judgment, Trustor hereby waives citation, other legal process and legal delays and hereby consents that judgment for the unpaid principal due on the Secured Obligations, together with interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other charges that may be due on the Secured Obligations, be rendered and signed immediately.

(b) Pursuant to the authority contained in La. R.S. 9:5136 through 9:5140.2, as the same may hereafter be amended or supplemented Trustor and Beneficiary do hereby expressly designate Beneficiary or its designee to be keeper or

FORM OF MORTGAGE

receiver (“Keeper”) for the benefit of Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary, such designation to take effect immediately upon any seizure of any of the Property under writ of executory process or under writ of sequestration or fieri facias as an incident to an action brought by Beneficiary. The Keeper shall be entitled to a reasonable fee and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it as Keeper, and the payment of such fees and expenses shall be secured by the mortgage, assignment and security interest in the Property granted in this Mortgage.

6.2.9 Other Permitted Remedies. Beneficiary and the Lenders may refuse to make any advance to, or issue any Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or Trustor. Beneficiary and the Lenders may exercise any and all other rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to file applications to change, and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law with respect to, all water permits and rights relating to the Property; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Mortgage, the remedies provided by this Mortgage shall not include the right to take any action that violates applicable Gaming Laws.

6.3 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Trustor or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such Property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting against the sales price of the Property or any part thereof any or all of the outstanding Secured Obligations (including without limitation the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or the Lenders under Section 5.11) or otherwise in such order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose.

6.4 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale or other sale or disposition pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof in the manner required by applicable law; provided that all proceeds that are to be applied against the Secured Obligations shall, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied against the Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to any applicable provisions for priority of application of proceeds set forth in the Credit Agreement).

6.5 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale or other sale or disposition which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.2, or otherwise, in the following manner:

(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Beneficiary or any receiver or Keeper;

(b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to the provisions for priority of application of payments set forth in the Credit Agreement); and

FORM OF MORTGAGE

(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it. Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

7. Leasehold Mortgage Provisions. The provisions of this Article 7 shall apply in the event that, and so long as, any portion of the Property consists of Mortgagor’s interests as tenant under any lease or leases encumbered by this Mortgage (collectively, including the Existing Ground Lease, the “Ground Leases”). Unless otherwise expressly provided, the lien of this Mortgage shall encumber all of Trustor’s rights and interests under and in connection with any Ground Lease, including without limitation, renewal and extension rights, options to expand, and purchase options (all of which rights shall be collectively referred to herein as a “Ground Leasehold”). Trustor hereby agrees, with respect to each Ground Lease, as follows:

7.1 Trustor shall timely perform its obligations in connection with each Ground Lease. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2.4 above, Trustor specifically acknowledges Beneficiary’s right, while any default by Trustor under any Ground Lease remains uncured, to perform the defaulted obligations and take all other actions which Beneficiary deems necessary to protect its interests with respect thereto, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) in its name or otherwise to execute all documents, and perform all other acts, which Beneficiary reasonably deems necessary to preserve its or Trustor’s rights with respect to any Ground Lease. Any amounts advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section shall be included in the Secured Obligations.

7.2 Except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, Trustor shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, modify, or cause or permit the termination of, any Ground Lease, or waive or in any way release the landlord under any Ground Lease of or from any obligation or condition.

7.3 Trustor shall notify Beneficiary promptly in writing of (i) the occurrence of any material default by the landlord under any Ground Lease, and (ii) the receipt by Trustor of any notice claiming the occurrence of any default by Trustor under any Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a material default by Trustor under any Ground Lease (and Trustor shall also promptly deliver a copy of any such notice to Beneficiary) or would otherwise permit the landlord under such Ground Lease to terminate the Ground Lease.

7.4 Unless Beneficiary otherwise consents in writing, so long as any Secured Obligation remains outstanding, neither the fee title to, nor any other estate or interest in, the real property subject to any Ground Lease shall merge with any Ground Leasehold, notwithstanding the union of such estates in the landlord or the tenant or in a third party. Any acquisition of the landlord’s interest in any Ground Lease by Trustor or any affiliate of Trustor shall be accomplished in such a manner as to avoid a merger of the interests of Landlord and tenant unless Beneficiary consents to such merger in writing.

7.5 If Trustor acquires fee title to any portion of the real property subject to any Ground Lease, this Mortgage shall automatically be a lien on such fee title.

FORM OF MORTGAGE

7.6 Unless otherwise expressly obligated to do so by the terms and provisions of any Lease (and then only to the extent of any such obligation), Trustor shall not subordinate any Ground Lease or Ground Leasehold to any mortgage or other encumbrance of, or lien on, any interest in the real property subject to such Ground Leasehold without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Any such prohibited subordination without such consent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be void.

7.7 All material subleases entered into by Trustor with respect to all or any portion of the Property (and all existing subleases modified by Trustor) shall provide that such subleases are subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and any modifications of this Mortgage and the obligations secured hereby and that, if Beneficiary forecloses under this Mortgage or enters into a new lease with any landlord under any Ground Lease pursuant to the provisions for a new lease, if any, contained in the applicable Ground Lease or in any other document or agreement, the subtenant shall attorn to Beneficiary or its assignee and the sublease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the applicable Ground Lease.

7.8 Trustor shall exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice thereof to Beneficiary, and shall execute, deliver and record any documents requested by Beneficiary to evidence the lien of this Mortgage on such extended or renewed lease term unless such Ground Lease is not renewed or extended as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If Trustor fails to exercise any such option or right as required herein, Beneficiary may exercise the option or right as Trustor’s agent and attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Mortgage, or in Beneficiary’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Beneficiary, as Beneficiary chooses in its absolute discretion; provided, if Trustor shall fail to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease, Trustor shall give Beneficiary reasonable prior notice. Beneficiary shall thereafter provide Trustor prior written notice of such action(s), or if Beneficiary reasonably determines that providing such prior written notice is not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

7.9 As security for the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary a security interest in all prepaid rents and security deposits and all other security which the landlords under the Ground Leases hold for the performance of Trustor’s obligations thereunder.

7.10 Promptly upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the landlord under any Ground Lease and furnish to Beneficiary an estoppel certificate of such landlord stating the date through which rent has been paid, whether or not there are any defaults, and the specific nature of any claimed defaults.

7.11 Intentionally Deleted.

7.12 To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Trustor or any other party in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under, or decree of foreclosure of, this Mortgage shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Beneficiary on behalf of Trustor as the tenant under the Ground Leases.

FORM OF MORTGAGE

7.13 In addition to all other Events of Default described in this Mortgage, the occurrence of any of the following shall be an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A breach or default by Trustor under any Ground Lease, subject to any applicable cure period; or

(b) The occurrence of any event or circumstance which gives the landlord under any Ground Lease a right to terminate such Ground Lease.

7.14 As used in this Mortgage, the “Bankruptcy Code” shall mean 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq., as modified and/or recodified from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein with respect to any Ground Lease:

(a) The lien of this Mortgage attaches to all of Trustor’s rights under subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, any and all elections to be made thereunder, any and all rights under any Ground Lease which Trustor is entitled to retain pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii) in the event of a rejection under the Bankruptcy Code of such Ground Lease by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee thereof), and any and all rights of offset under or as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(B).

(b) Trustor acknowledges and agrees that, by the terms hereof and by operation of 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Beneficiary has, and until this Mortgage has been fully reconveyed continuously shall have, whether before or after any default under any of the Secured Obligations or the taking of any action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Mortgage or any foreclosure sale hereunder, the complete, unfettered and exclusive right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect (the “365(h) Election”) whether (i) any Ground Lease that has been rejected under the Bankruptcy Code by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee therefor) shall be treated as terminated under 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(i), or (ii) the rights under such Ground Lease that are in or appurtenant to the real property, as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii), should be retained pursuant to that subsection. To the extent that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence and 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Trustor now or at any time in the future has any right to make, or to participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease, Trustor hereby absolutely assigns and conveys to Beneficiary any and all such rights, and all of Trustor’s right, title and interest therein, which may be used and exercised by Beneficiary completely, exclusively, and without any restriction whatsoever, in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion, whether before or after any default upon any of the Secured Obligations, the taking of any action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Mortgage, or any foreclosure sale hereunder. Trustor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) to exercise Trustor’s right, if any, to make, or participate in, or otherwise in any matter affecting the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease. Trustor shall not in any manner impede or interfere with any action taken by Beneficiary and, at the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall take or join in the taking of any action to make, or participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election

FORM OF MORTGAGE

with respect to any Ground Lease; provided such action and such Election are consistent with all applicable Laws, in such manner as Beneficiary determines in its sole and absolute discretion. Unless and until instructed to do so by Beneficiary (as determined by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion), Trustor shall not take any action to make, or participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease, including in particular, but without limitation, any election to treat any Ground Lease as terminated. Beneficiary shall have no obligation whatsoever to Trustor or any other person or entity in connection with the making of the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease or any instruction by Beneficiary to Trustor given, withheld or delayed in respect thereof, nor shall Beneficiary have any liability to Trustor or any other person or entity arising from any of the same.

(c) As security for the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary all of Trustor’s rights to damages arising from any rejection by any landlord (or any trustee thereof) of any Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Beneficiary and Trustor shall proceed jointly or in the name of Trustor in respect of any claim or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease, including without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions and other documents, provided the same shall be well grounded in fact or law, in any case in respect of such landlord under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment shall continue in effect until all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full. Any amounts received by Beneficiary or Trustor as damages arising from the rejection of any Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs reasonably incurred by Beneficiary (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with this subsection (c) and then in accordance with other applicable provisions of this Mortgage.

(d) If, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Trustor seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance of the landlord’s obligations after the rejection by the landlord (or any trustee thereof) of such Ground Lease, Trustor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary in writing of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be offset and, in the event that Beneficiary objects, Trustor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Beneficiary objects. If Beneficiary fails to object within 10 days following receipt of such notice, Trustor may offset the amounts set forth in Trustor’s notice.

(e) If any legal proceeding is commenced with respect to any Ground Lease in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Beneficiary and Trustor shall cooperatively conduct any such proceeding with counsel reasonably agreed upon between Trustor and Beneficiary. Trustor shall, upon demand, pay to Beneficiary all costs (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any such proceeding.

FORM OF MORTGAGE

which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Trustor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary all notices, pleadings and other documents received by Trustor in connection with any such proceeding.

7.15 No maintenance, repair or other obligation of Trustor hereunder which relates to the “Property” shall apply to any Ground Leasehold with respect to which the applicable Ground Lease imposes such obligation on the landlord so long as (a) Trustor does not own the landlord’s interest; (b) such landlord is performing such obligation in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease; and (c) the Ground Lease has not been rejected by the landlord (or any trustee thereof) under the Bankruptcy Code.

7.16 The generality of the provisions of this Mortgage shall not be limited by any provision of this Article 7 that sets forth particular obligations of Trustor as the tenant under the Ground Leases.

7.17 Trustor hereby represents and warrants to Beneficiary as follows:

(a) The Ground Leases are in full force and effect;

(b) Trustor owns the entire tenant’s interest under the Ground Leases and has the right under the Ground Leases to execute this Mortgage; and

(c) No default under the Existing Ground Leases remains uncured, nor has any event occurred which, with the passage of time or service of notice or both, would constitute such a default.

7.18 Upon the expiration of any Ground Lease, or any early termination by Trustor of such Ground Lease as provided herein, Beneficiary agrees to release the parcel leased pursuant such Ground Lease from the Property and any lien secured on the parcel leased pursuant such Ground Lease by this Mortgage.

8. Suretyship Provisions. The following provisions shall apply to the extent that all or any portion of the obligations secured hereby now or hereafter constitute obligations of person(s) other than, or in addition to, Trustor, including, without limitation, the Borrower:

8.1 Conditions to Exercise of Rights. Trustor hereby waives any right it may now or hereafter have to require Beneficiary, as a condition to the exercise of any remedy or other right against Trustor hereunder or under any other document executed by Trustor in connection with any Secured Obligation, (a) to proceed against Borrower or any other person, or against any other collateral assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary by Trustor or Borrower or any other person, (b) to pursue any other right or remedy in Beneficiary’s power, (c) to give notice of the time, place or terms of any public or private sale of real or personal property collateral assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary by Borrower or any other person (other than Trustor), or otherwise to comply with La. R.S. § 10:9-504 (as modified or recodified from time to time) with respect to any such personal property collateral, or (d) to make or give (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest or other demand or notice of any kind in connection with any

FORM OF MORTGAGE

Secured Obligation or any collateral (other than the Property) for any Secured Obligation. Trustor also waives any defense in any way related to the foregoing.

8.2 Waiver of Defenses. Trustor hereby waives any defense it may now or hereafter have that relates to: (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other person; (b) the cessation, from any cause other than full performance, of the obligations of Borrower or any other person; (c) the application of the proceeds of any Secured Obligation, by Borrower or any other person, for purposes other than the purposes represented to Trustor by Borrower or otherwise intended or understood by Trustor or Borrower; (d) any act or omission by Beneficiary which directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the release of Borrower or any other person or any collateral for any Secured Obligation; (e) the unenforceability or invalidity of any collateral assignment or encumbrance (other than this Mortgage) or guaranty with respect to any Secured Obligation, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or lack of priority of any lien which secures any Secured Obligation; (f) any failure of Beneficiary to marshal assets in favor of Trustor or any other person; (g) any modification of any Secured Obligation, including any renewal, extension, acceleration or increase in interest rate, or (h) any election of remedies by Beneficiary that impairs any subrogation or other right of Trustor to proceed against Borrower or any other person, including any loss of rights resulting from deficiency judgment laws relating to foreclosures of immovable property or other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging obligations or remedies (including La. R.S. §§ 13:4106 through 13:4108.3, inclusive, as modified or recodified from time to time); (l) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (j) any failure of Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any person; (k) the election by Beneficiary, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (I) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code; (m) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (n) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person.

The Trustor waives all rights and defenses that the Trustor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by immovable property. This means, among other things:

(1)

The Beneficiary may foreclose, under this Mortgage, without first foreclosing on any immovable or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other person.

(2)

If the Beneficiary forecloses on any immovable property collateral pledged or otherwise encumbered by Borrower or any other person:

(A)

The amount of the Secured Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(B)

The Beneficiary may foreclose on any such immovable property collateral even if the Beneficiary, by foreclosing on such immovable property

FORM OF MORTGAGE

collateral, has destroyed any right the Trustor may have to collect from Borrower or any other person.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any and all rights and defenses the Trustor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by immovable property.

The Trustor also waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies, such as a foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Trustor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by operation of applicable law or otherwise.

8.3 Subrogation. Trustor hereby waives, until such time as all Secured Obligations are fully paid and performed, (a) all rights of subrogation against Borrower or any other person that relates to any Secured Obligation, (b) all rights to enforce any remedy Beneficiary may now or hereafter have against Borrower or any other person, and (c) all rights to participate in any collateral now or hereafter assigned to Beneficiary with respect to any Secured Obligation.

8.4 Trustor Information. Trustor warrants and agrees that: (a) Trustor has not relied, and will not rely, on any representations or warranties by Beneficiary to Trustor with respect to the creditworthiness of Borrower or any other person or the prospects of repayment of any Secured Obligation from sources other than the Property; (b) Trustor has established and/or will establish adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and each other person liable, directly or through a guaranty or pledge or encumbrance of collateral, for the repayment of the Secured Obligations, on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of Borrower and each such other person; (c) Trustor assumes full responsibility for keeping informed with respect to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of Borrower and each such other person; and (d) Beneficiary shall have no duty to disclose or report to Trustor any information now or hereafter known to Beneficiary or any of the Lenders with respect to Borrower or other person, including, without limitation information relating to Borrower’s or other person’s business operations or financial condition.

8.5 Other Rights of Sureties. Trustor hereby waives all other rights it may now or hereafter have, whether or not similar to any, of the foregoing, by reason of laws of the State of Louisiana pertaining to sureties or suretyship.

8.6 Reinstatement of Lien. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Mortgage shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of any Secured Obligation which Beneficiary is thereafter required to restore or return in connection with a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to Borrower or any other person.

8.7 Subordination. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been fully paid and performed, (a) Trustor hereby agrees that all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower and of each “other person” described in Section 8.3 or 8.4 hereof to Trustor (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be and are hereby subordinated to all Secured Obligations which constitute obligations of Borrower or other person, and the payment thereof is hereby deferred in right of payment to the prior payment and performance of all

FORM OF MORTGAGE

Secured Obligations; (b) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Trustor shall not collect or receive any cash or non-cash payments on any Subordinated Debt or transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt; and (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, Borrower or other person, with respect to any Subordinated Debt is received by Trustor, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust and immediately paid over to Beneficiary, is hereby assigned to Beneficiary as security for the Secured Obligations, and shall be held by Beneficiary in a non-interest bearing account until all Secured Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

8.8 Lawfulness and Reasonableness. Trustor warrants that all of the waivers in this Mortgage are made with full knowledge of their significance, and of the fact that events giving rise to any defense or other benefit waived by Trustor may destroy or impair rights which Trustor would otherwise have against Beneficiary, other Lenders, Borrower and other persons, or against collateral. Trustor agrees that all such waivers are reasonable under the circumstances and further agrees that, if any such waiver is determined (by a court of competent jurisdiction) to be contrary to any law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

9.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Mortgage. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Beneficiary and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Trustor which apply to this Mortgage and to the Property. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Mortgage and the terms of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control.

9.2 No Waiver or Cure.

9.2.1 Each waiver by Beneficiary must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Beneficiary to take action on account of any default of Trustor. Consent by Beneficiary to any act or omission by Trustor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Beneficiary’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.

9.2.2 If any of the events described below occurs, that event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act performed pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid and performed in full and all other defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured); or impair the security of this Mortgage; or prejudice Beneficiary or any receiver or Keeper in the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage; or be construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, Lease or option, or a subordination of the lien, encumbrance or security interest of this Mortgage:

FORM OF MORTGAGE

(a) Beneficiary, its agent or a receiver or Keeper takes possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner provided in Section 6.2.3 or otherwise.

(b) Beneficiary or a receiver or Keeper collects and applies Rents as permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.5 or exercises Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases, either with or without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.

(c) Beneficiary receives and applies to any Secured Obligation proceeds of any Property, including any proceeds of insurance policies, condemnation awards, or other claims, property or rights assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary under Section 1.1 or 5.5 or otherwise; provided such application is in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Beneficiary makes a site visit, observes the Property and/or conducts tests as permitted under Section 5.15.

The liability of the original Trustor shall not be released or changed if Beneficiary grants any successor in interest to Borrower or Trustor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Trustor that Beneficiary refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.

9.3.3 Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under Sections 6.2.2 and/or 6.2.3 regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been given under, or notice of seizure given with respect to, this Mortgage.

9.3.4 From time to time, Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in enforcing the rights and remedies created under this

FORM OF MORTGAGE

Mortgage. Beneficiary may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in enforcing these rights and remedies.

(b) The payment and performance of all obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust;

(c) The payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that Trustor or any other person may owe to Beneficiary and/or any Lenders (whether as principal, surety or guarantor), when a writing evidences Trustor’s and Beneficiary’s agreement that such advances or obligations be secured by this Deed of Trust; and

(d) The payment and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions and renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured Obligations described in clause (a), (b) or (c), above.

1.2.2 In addition to the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and all other Secured Obligations, this Deed of Trust, to the fullest extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Missouri, shall secure also and constitute a Lien on the Property for all future advances made by the Beneficiary to Borrower and future obligations incurred by Borrower to Beneficiary in connection with the Property to the same extent as if such future advances were made or such future obligations incurred on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust. The total amount of the indebtedness that may be secured by this Deed of Trust shall not exceed a maximum principal amount equal to $750,000,000.00 whether such advances are obligatory or made at the option of the Beneficiary, plus future advances and/or future obligations made or incurred for the reasonable protection of the security or to enable completion of a contemplated improvement, all as contemplated by Subsection 3 of Section 443.055, Missouri Revised Statutes, and this instrument is to be governed by said Section 443.055.

2. Assignment of Rents and Leases.

2.1 Assignment. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all of the right, title and interest which Trustor now has or may later acquire in and to the Rents and the Leases, and confers upon Beneficiary the right to collect such Rents and enforce the provisions of the Leases with or without taking possession of the Property. This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

2.2 Grant of License. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its absolute discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Trustor, and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security under this Deed of Trust; provided further that until Beneficiary has terminated the License as provided herein, Trustor may continue to collect and retain the Rents pursuant to the License.

2.3 Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Trustor under Section 2.2, Beneficiary has the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents and exercise Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases. Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the times when Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may so choose:

(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents and any other right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases;

(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents and any other obligations and duties under the Leases; or

(c) Xxx either in the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all Rents and to enforce any other obligations and duties under the Leases.

Beneficiary’s right to the Rents and the Leases does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property as permitted under Section 6.2.3 hereof, or as permitted under applicable law. In Beneficiary’s absolute discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents and exercise the right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases either with or without taking possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.5. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents and exercising any right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases as permitted under this Deed of Trust, then Beneficiary, Trustee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law and in equity, including the right to exercise the power of sale granted under Section 1.1 and Section 6.2.7.

2.4 Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any duty to produce Rents from the Property or maintain the Leases. Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Land and Improvements, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:

(a) a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose;

(b) responsible for performing any of the obligations under any Lease;

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

(d) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it.

2.5 Leasing. Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of Rents for any period exceeding one (1) month, and Trustor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan Documents. Trustor shall not apply any Rents-in any manner prohibited by the Loan Documents.

3. Grant of Security Interest.

3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on and security interest in the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some of the Rents and Leases may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases constitute personal property, Trustor, as debtor, hereby grants to Beneficiary, as secured party, a security interest in all such Property, Rents and Leases, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and Trustor, as debtor, also has granted a security interest in such Property, Rents and Leases pursuant to that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith, executed by Trustor and certain other parties, as debtor, in favor of Beneficiary, as secured party. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering all such Property, Rents and Leases. To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases are not real property encumbered by the lien created by Section 1.1, above, and are not absolutely assigned by the assignment set forth in Section 2.1, above, it is the intention of the parties that such Property, Rents and/or Leases shall constitute “proceeds, products, offspring, or profits” and/or “rents” of the Land and Improvements, and/or “fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in ... lodging properties,” as applicable (as such terms are defined in and for the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such section may be modified or supplemented).

3.2 Financing Statements. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute one or more financing statements and such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property, Rents or Leases. As provided in Section 5.11, Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. If Trustor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

4. Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any Property which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Land or Improvements. In connection therewith, the addresses of Trustor, as debtor, and Beneficiary, as secured party, are as set forth in Section 9.16 below. The foregoing address of Beneficiary, as secured party, is also the address from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained by any interested party. The property subject to this fixture filing is described in Section 1.1, above. Portions of the property subject to this fixture filing as identified in this Section are or are to become fixtures related to the real estate described in Exhibit A attached hereto.

5. Rights and Duties of the Parties.

5.1 Representations and Warranties. Trustor represents and warrants that, except as previously disclosed to Beneficiary in Schedule 7.3(f) attached to the Credit Agreement:

(a) This Deed of Trust creates a first and prior lien on and security interest in the Property, subject only to the Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement, and other encumbrances and rights permitted by this Deed of Trust;

(b) The Property includes all material property and rights which may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the use, if any, of the Property;

(c) Trustor’s place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the address specified below; and

(d) This Deed of Trust does not encumber Land on which Improvements are located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, except any Land on which Improvements are located as to which flood insurance as required by Regulation H has been obtained and is in full force and effect as required by the Credit Agreement.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

5.3 Performance of Secured Obligations. Trustor shall promptly pay and perform, or cause the payment and performance of, each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

5.4 Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Trustor shall promptly discharge any lien on or security interest in the Property to which Beneficiary has not consented in writing, except any Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to any applicable rights to contest set forth in the Credit Agreement: (a) Trustor shall pay when due each obligation secured by or reducible to a lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance which now does or later may encumber or appear to encumber all or part of the Property or any interest in it, whether the lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust; and (b) should Trustor fail to perform its obligations under this Section 5.4, Beneficiary, at its option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance funds which may be necessary to protect and preserve Beneficiary’s liens hereunder, and to discharge Trustor’s obligations under this Section 5.4, and all amounts so advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 2.16(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement from the fifth day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and payable on demand.

(d) All interest which may accrue on any of the foregoing.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

(b) Any offer is made, or any action or proceeding is commenced, which relates to any actual or proposed condemnation or taking of all or material part of the Property.

5.5.3 Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.13 thereof, if Beneficiary chooses to do so, Beneficiary may in its own name appear in or prosecute any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action based on warranty, or for damage, injury or loss to all or part of the Property, and Beneficiary may make any compromise or settlement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall not settle or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Trustor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Beneficiary, if it so chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding relating to condemnation or taking of all or part of the Property, and may join Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for all such purposes. The power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written approval of Beneficiary.

5.5.4 All proceeds of these assigned claims, other property and rights which Trustor may receive or be entitled to (collectively, “Proceeds”) shall be administered in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.13 thereof. Any and all Proceeds (including, without limitation, any Net Claims Proceeds) held by Beneficiary from time to time shall be collateral for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in and lien on such Proceeds and all rights and remedies available under applicable laws with respect to such Proceeds, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies under the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary and the Lenders any and all documents reasonably requested by Beneficiary in order to confirm, create and perfect such security interest in and lien on such Proceeds.

5.5.5 Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner granted under applicable law which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder up to the principal amount of Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement, and any other law or successor statute of similar import. Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all right to recover against Beneficiary or any Lender (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of Beneficiary or any Lender) for any loss incurred by Trustor from any cause insured against or required by any.

If, Trustor elects to repair and/or restore all or part of the Property, Trustor shall be obligated to repair and/or restore the Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence even if no insurance proceeds are available or the available insurance proceeds are not sufficient to pay for the entire cost of such repair and/or restoration.

5.6.3 Trustor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable law or order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen (except to the extent that noncompliance would not cause a Material Adverse Effect or a License Revocation); or (ii) any public or private covenant, condition, restriction, equitable servitude, or Contractual Obligation affecting the Property (except to the extent such violation is being contested by Trustor in good faith by appropriate proceedings or such violation would not cause a Material Adverse Effect). Trustor shall not bring or keep any article on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, that invalidates any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Trustor on the Property or any part of it under this Deed of Trust.

5.6.4 Trustor shall not commit or allow material waste of the Property.

5.7 Insurance.

5.7.2 When any insurance policy required hereunder expires, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with proof acceptable to Beneficiary that the policy has been reinstated, renewed or a new policy issued, continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy which expired. If Trustor fails to pay any such premium, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain current coverage and advance funds to pay the premiums for it on behalf of the Lenders. Should Trustor fail to procure any of the insurance required by this Section 5.7, Beneficiary, at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance and all amounts advanced by Beneficiary for such purpose, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 2.16(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and payable on demand.

Such person or persons shall pay any costs of recordation. In the reconveyance, the grantee may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto,” and the recitals of any matters or facts shall be

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

5.11 Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification.

5.11.1 Trustor agrees to pay fees in the maximum amounts legally permitted, or reasonable fees as may be charged by Beneficiary and Trustee when the law provides no maximum limit, for any services that Beneficiary or Trustee may render in connection with this Deed of Trust, including Beneficiary’s providing a statement of the Secured Obligations or Trustee’s rendering of services in connection with a reconveyance. Trustor shall also pay or reimburse all of Beneficiary’s and Trustee’s reasonable costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such services. Trustor further agrees to pay or reimburse Beneficiary for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or made by Beneficiary or Trustee in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Deed of Trust, to the extent provided in Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement.

5.11.3 Trustor shall pay all obligations to pay money arising under this Section 5.11 immediately upon demand by Trustee or Beneficiary.

5.12 Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Trustor’s sole expense, Trustor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

Property, and the security of this Deed of Trust and the rights and powers of Beneficiary and Trustee created under it, against all adverse claims. Trustor shall give Beneficiary and Trustee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted in writing which does or could affect the title to or right of possession of the Property (other than personal property, the loss of which would not disrupt the operations of the Trustor), or the security of this Deed of Trust or the rights and powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

5.13 Substitution of Trustee. From time to time, Beneficiary may substitute a successor to any Trustee named in or acting under this Deed of Trust in any manner now or later to be provided at law, or by a written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the office(s) of the recorder(s) of the City. Any such instrument shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of the successor Trustee, who shall automatically upon recordation of the instrument succeed to all estate, title, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Trustee, without conveyance from it.

5.14 Subrogation. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the liens and security interests of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by Beneficiary in accordance with this Deed of Trust or with the proceeds of any loan secured by this Deed of Trust.

Beneficiary and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time upon reasonable written advance notice to enter and visit the Property for the purpose of performing appraisals. In addition, Beneficiary and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time upon reasonable written advance notice to enter and visit the Property for the purposes of observing the Property, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property. The Beneficiary has no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit or observation by Beneficiary or its agents or representatives shall impose any liability on Beneficiary or any other person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”). In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party be a representation that Materials of Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on, or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law, or any other applicable Law. Neither Trustor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties owe no duty of care to protect Trustor or any other party against, or to inform Trustor or any other party of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Beneficiary shall give Trustor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Beneficiary shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Trustor’s use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section.

5.16 Notice of Change. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prior written notice of (a) any change in the location of Trustor’s place of business or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, (b) any change in the location of its Books and Records, and (c) any change to Trustor’s name, entity structure, or jurisdiction of formation.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

Books and Records), the removal of which would disrupt the operations of Trustor, will be located on the Land.

5.17 Title Insurance. At any time and from time to time Trustor, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Beneficiary such title insurance endorsements and reinsurance as Beneficiary may reasonably request with respect to the priority of this Deed of Trust, issued by title insurance companies, all in form and substance and reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, with respect to this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, ALTA endorsements insuring that each advance is secured by this Deed of Trust (without any exception not set forth in the policy of title insurance insuring this Deed of Trust other than (i) liens for taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and (ii) Permitted Encumbrances insured to be subordinate to this Deed of Trust), and ALTA endorsements insuring the priority of the Deed of Trust over any mechanic’s lien.

6. Defaults and Remedies.

6.1 Events of Default. Trustor will be in default under this Deed of Trust upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document) or any other default herein (subject to any cure periods applicable to defaults under the Loan Documents as provided in the Credit Agreement).

6.2 Remedies. At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default and provided that Beneficiary has received any consents or approvals of any other Lenders to the extent required under the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary and Trustee will be entitled to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and any other rights and/or remedies available to Beneficiary at law or in equity (subject to any restrictions on those rights and remedies imposed by applicable Gaming Laws), all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall not constitute an election of remedies:

6.2.1 Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary and the Lenders are making one or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Trustor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract.

6.2.2 Receiver. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property. Beneficiary may obtain the appointment of such a receiver without the necessity of proving either the depreciation of the inadequacy of the value of the security or the insolvency of Trustor or any person who may be legally or equitably liable to pay monies secured hereby, and Trustor and each such person waive each such proof and consent to the appointment of a receiver.

6.2.3 Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other things may include, without limitation: taking and possessing all of Trustor’s or the then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Land. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name on any instruments. Regardless of any provision of this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any property in satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary unless Beneficiary has given express written notice of Beneficiary’s election of that remedy.

6.2.4 Cure, Protection of Security. Either Beneficiary or Trustee may cure any breach or default of Trustor and, if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary or Trustee may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which either may in its absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other things may include, without limitation: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien, security interest or claim of lien or security interest which (in Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s sole judgment) is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary or Trustee to be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary or Trustee. Beneficiary and Trustee may take any of the actions permitted under this Section 6.2.4 upon giving Trustor prior written notice of such action(s) as reasonably determined by Beneficiary, or, if Beneficiary has determined that providing such prior written notice is not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

6.2.5 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.

6.2.6 Judicial Action. Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or other terms of this Deed of Trust.

6.2.7 Power of Sale. Under the power of sale hereby granted, Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law. The Trustee shall, at the request of the Beneficiary, proceed to sell the Property as one parcel in its entirety or any part thereof either in mass or in parcels, at the absolute discretion of Trustee, at a public venue, to the highest bidder for cash at the door of the Court House or other location then customarily employed for that

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

purpose in the county or city where the Property is located, first giving notice of the time and place of sale, and a description of the Property to be sold, by advertisement published and as is provided by the laws of the State of Missouri then in effect, and upon sale shall execute and deliver a deed of conveyance of the property sold to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, and any statement or recital of fact in such deed, in relation to the non-payment of the money hereby secured to be paid, existence of the indebtedness so secured, notice of advertisement, sale and receipt of the proceeds of sale, shall be presumptive evidence of the truth of such statements or recital.

(a) Sales of Personal Property.

(i) For purposes of this power of sale, Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of real property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Secured Obligation.

(ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such personal property, Trustor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale as required by Article 9 of the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code. Beneficiary will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation pursuant to the notice requirements contained in Article 9 of the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make such personal property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the personal property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

(b) Trustee’s Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.

(i) Beneficiary may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which consists solely of real property in any manner then permitted by applicable law. In its discretion, Beneficiary may also or alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the Property, in any combination consisting of both real and personal property, together in one sale to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property, as permitted by Article 9 of the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time. Trustor agrees that such a sale of personal property together with real property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the personal property. For purposes of this power of sale, either a sale of real property alone, or a sale of both real and

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

personal property together in accordance with Article 9 of the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, will sometimes be referred to as a “Trustee’s Sale.”

(ii) Before any Trustee’s Sale, Beneficiary or Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Trustee shall sell the property being sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to make demand on Trustor before any Trustee’s Sale. From time to time in accordance with then applicable law, Trustee may, and in any event at Beneficiary’s request shall, postpone any Trustee’s Sale by public announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale.

(iii) At any Trustee’s Sale, Trustee shall sell the property being sold at a public auction to the highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of the United States. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the property being sold without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied. The recitals in any such deed of any matters or facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or validity of any Trustee’s Sale, shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive against all persons as to the facts recited in it.

(vi) The Trustee may sell and convey the Property under the power aforesaid, although the Trustee has been, may now be or may hereafter be attorney or agent of the Beneficiary in respect to the Secured Obligations or this Deed of Trust or in respect to any matter of business whatsoever. The making of oath or giving of bond by Trustee or any successor Trustee is expressly waived.

(v) The Trustee hereby lets the Property to the Trustor until a sale be had under the foregoing provisions, upon the following terms and conditions, such letting being to wit: The Trustor and every and all persons claiming or possessing the Property, or any part thereof, by, through or under Trustor shall pay rent therefore during said term at the rate of one cent per month, payable monthly upon demand, and shall surrender immediate peaceable possession of said premises, to the purchaser thereof, under such sale, without notice or demand therefore. Should possession not be surrendered as provided for herein the purchaser shall be entitled to institute proceedings for possession as aforesaid.

6.2.8 Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Beneficiary may:

(a) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and

(b) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items through a single consolidated Trustee’s Sale or disposition to be held or made under the power of sale granted in Sections 1.1 and 6.2.7, or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests (any such sale or disposition being referred to herein as a “Foreclosure Sale”).

If Beneficiary or Trustee chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Beneficiary at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at such different times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens or security interests of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property which has not been sold until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitment has been fully and finally terminated.

6.2.9 Other Permitted Remedies. Beneficiary and the Lenders may refuse to make any advance to, or issue any Letter of Credit for the account of, Borrower or Trustor. Beneficiary and the Lenders may exercise any and all other rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to file applications to change, and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law with respect to, all water permits and rights relating to the Property; provided however that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Deed of Trust, the remedies provided by this Deed of Trust shall not include the right to take any action that violates applicable Gaming Laws.

6.3 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person (other than Trustor), including Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting against the sales price of the Property or any part thereof any or all of the outstanding Secured Obligations (including without limitation the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary, the Lenders or Trustee under Section 5.11) in such order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to any applicable provisions for priority of application of payments set forth in the Credit Agreement).

6.4 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. The Trustee shall receive the proceeds of such sale out of which the Trustee shall pay: First, the cost and expenses of executing this trust, including compensation to the Trustee and to any attorneys employed by him or the Beneficiary for their services; second, to the Beneficiary, upon the usual vouchers therefor, all amounts paid for insurance, taxes, lien claims, and other payments made by Beneficiary as provided herein, with interest thereon as provided herein; third, the amount on the Secured Obligations then due and unpaid; fourth, the amount due on any junior encumbrances, with interest; fifth, the remainder of such proceeds, if any, shall be paid to Trustor or as otherwise provided by law. The Beneficiary may bid and become purchaser at any sale under this Deed of Trust. The power of sale hereunder shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales (or attempts to sell) as to all or any portion of the Property remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all of the Property has been sold or the Secured Obligations and all other indebtedness of Borrower and Trustor to Beneficiary secured hereby shall have been paid in full. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the foregoing proceeds be applied against the

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to any applicable provisions for priority of application of proceeds set forth in the Credit Agreement).

6.5 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.2, in the following manner:

(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Trustee, Beneficiary or any receiver;

(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it. Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

7. Leasehold Deed of Trust Provisions. The provisions of this Article 7 shall apply in the event that, and so long as, any portion of the Property consists of Mortgagor’s interests as tenant under any lease or leases encumbered by this Deed of Trust (collectively, including the Existing Ground Lease, the “Ground Leases”). Unless otherwise expressly provided, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall encumber all of Trustor’s rights and interests under and in connection with any Ground Lease, including without limitation, renewal and extension rights, options to expand, and purchase options (all of which rights shall be collectively referred to herein as a “Ground Leasehold”). Trustor hereby agrees, with respect to each Ground Lease, as follows:

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a material default by Trustor under any Ground Lease (and Trustor shall also promptly deliver a copy of any such notice to Beneficiary) or would otherwise permit the landlord under such Ground Lease to terminate the Ground Lease.

7.5 If Trustor acquires fee title to any portion of the real property subject to any Ground Lease, this Deed of Trust shall automatically be a lien on such fee title.

7.6 Unless otherwise expressly obligated to do so by the terms and provisions of any Lease (and then only to the extent of any such obligation), Trustor shall not subordinate any Ground Lease or Ground Leasehold to any Deed of Trust or other encumbrance of, or lien on, any interest in the real property subject to such Ground Leasehold without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Any such prohibited subordination without such consent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be void.

7.7 All material subleases entered into by Trustor with respect to all or any portion of the Property (and all existing subleases modified by Trustor) shall provide that such subleases are subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust and any modifications of this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby and that, if Beneficiary forecloses under this Deed of Trust or enters into a new lease with any landlord under any Ground Lease pursuant to the provisions for a new lease, if any, contained in the applicable Ground Lease or in any other document or agreement, the subtenant shall attorn to Beneficiary or its assignee and the sublease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the applicable Ground Lease.

7.8 Trustor shall exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice thereof to Beneficiary, and shall execute, deliver and record any documents requested by Beneficiary to evidence the lien of this Deed of Trust on such extended or renewed lease term unless such Ground Lease is not renewed or extended as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If Trustor fails to exercise any such option or right as required herein, Beneficiary may exercise the option or right as Trustor’s agent and attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Deed of Trust, or in Beneficiary’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Beneficiary, as Beneficiary chooses in its absolute discretion; provided, if Trustor shall fail to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease, Trustor shall give Beneficiary reasonable prior notice. Beneficiary shall thereafter provide Trustor prior written notice of such action(s) as reasonably determined by Beneficiary; if such prior written notice is not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

7.11 Intentionally Deleted.

7.13 In addition to all other Events of Default described in this Deed of Trust, the occurrence of any of the following shall be an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A breach or default by Trustor under any Ground Lease, subject to any applicable cure period; or

(b) The occurrence of any event or circumstance which gives the landlord under any Ground Lease a right to terminate such Ground Lease.

7.14 As used in this Deed of Trust, the “Bankruptcy Code” shall mean 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq., as modified and/or recodified from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein with respect to any Ground Lease:

(a) The lien of this Deed of Trust attaches to all of Trustor’s rights under subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, any and all elections to be made thereunder, any and all rights under any Ground Lease which Trustor is entitled to retain pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii) in the event of a rejection under the Bankruptcy Code of such Ground Lease by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee thereof), and any and all rights of offset under or as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(B).

(b) Trustor acknowledges and agrees that, by the terms hereof and by operation of 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Beneficiary has, and until this Deed of Trust has been fully reconveyed continuously shall have, whether before or after any default under any of the Secured Obligations or the taking of any action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust or any foreclosure sale hereunder, the complete, unfettered and exclusive right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect (the “365(h) Election”) whether (i) any Ground Lease that has been rejected under the Bankruptcy Code by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee therefor) shall be treated as terminated under 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(i), or (ii) the rights under such Ground Lease that are in or appurtenant to the real property, as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii),

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

8.2 Waiver of Defenses.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

The Trustor waives all rights and defenses that the Trustor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(1)

The Beneficiary may foreclose, judicially or non judicially, under this Deed of Trust, without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other person.

(2)

If the Beneficiary forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other person:

(A)

The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(B)

The Beneficiary may foreclose on any such real property collateral even if the Beneficiary, by foreclosing on such real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Trustor may have to collect from Borrower or any other person.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Trustor may have because Borrower’s debt secured by real property.

The Trustor also waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Trustor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of any applicable law or otherwise.

8.3 Subrogation. Trustor hereby waives, until such time as all Secured Obligations are fully performed, (a) any right of subrogation against Borrower or any other person that relates to any Secured Obligation, (b) any right to enforce any remedy Beneficiary may now or hereafter have against Borrower or any other person, and (c) any right to participate in any collateral now or hereafter assigned to Beneficiary with respect to any Secured Obligation.

8.4 Trustor Information. Trustor warrants and agrees: (a) that Trustor has not relied, and will not rely, on any representations or warranties by Beneficiary to Trustor with respect to the creditworthiness of Borrower or any other person or the prospects of repayment of any Secured Obligation from sources other than the Property; (b) that Trustor has established and/or will establish adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and each other person liable, directly or through a guaranty or pledge of collateral, for the repayment of the loan, on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of each Borrower and each such other person; (c) that Trustor assumes full responsibility for keeping informed with respect to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of Borrower and each such other person; and (d) that Beneficiary shall have no duty to disclose or report to Trustor any information now or hereafter known to Beneficiary with respect to Borrower or other person, including without limitation information relating to Borrower’s or other person’s business operations or financial condition.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE

8.5 Other Rights of Sureties. Trustor hereby waives all other rights it may now or hereafter have, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, by reason of laws of the State of Missouri and New York pertaining to sureties.

8.6 Reinstatement of Lien. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Deed of Trust shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of any Secured Obligation which Beneficiary is thereafter required to restore or return in connection with a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to Borrower or any other person.

8.7 Subordination. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been fully paid and performed, (a) Trustor hereby agrees that all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Trustor (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be and are hereby subordinated to all Secured Obligations which constitute obligations of the Borrower, and the payment thereof is hereby deferred in right of payment to the prior payment and performance of all such Secured Obligations; (b) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Trustor shall not collect or receive any cash or non-cash payments on any Subordinated Debt or transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt; and (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, Borrower with respect to any Subordinated Debt is received by Trustor, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust and immediately paid over to Beneficiary, is hereby assigned to Beneficiary as security for the Secured Obligations, and shall be held by Beneficiary in an interest bearing account until all Secured Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

8.8 Lawfulness and Reasonableness. Trustor warrants that all of the waivers in this Deed of Trust are made with full knowledge of their significance, and of the fact that events giving rise to any defense or other benefit waived by Trustor may destroy or impair rights which Trustor would otherwise have against Beneficiary, Borrower and other persons, or against collateral. Trustor agrees that all such waivers are reasonable under the circumstances and further agrees that, if any such waiver is determined (by a court of competent jurisdiction) to be contrary to any law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

9.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Deed of Trust.

Trustor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary shall not be required to comply with any demand by any original Trustor that Beneficiary refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.

9.3.4 From time to time, Beneficiary or Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing the trust and enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Deed of Trust.

Any remittance received by any Grantor from any Person shall be presumed to relate to

the Collateral and to be subject to Secured Party’s security interests. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party if it so elects in the notice to Grantors shall have the sole right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of the appropriate Grantor, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral (subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws); and each Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of it, in such manner as Secured Party shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by Secured Party without appropriate endorsement, and Secured Party and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by the appropriate Grantor, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized officer of the appropriate Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest of dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

7. Possession of Collateral by Secured Party. All the Collateral heretofore or hereafter delivered to Secured Party shall be held by Secured Party in its possession, custody and control. Any or all of the Collateral delivered to Secured Party may be held in an interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing account, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, and Secured Party may, in its discretion, apply any such interest to payment of the Secured Obligations. Nothing herein shall obligate Secured Party to invest any Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Secured Party’s possession, custody or control, Secured Party may use, operate and consume the Collateral, for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of Grantors’ obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise, subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws. Secured Party may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantors, and the receipt of any of the same by any Grantor shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor. So long as Secured Party exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Secured Party shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no event shall Secured Party have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of Secured Party is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary action to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

8. Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws, Secured

Party shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Secured Party may have under applicable Law or in equity or under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set forth in Section 6 hereof) or under any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the applicable jurisdiction, and, in addition, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantors and without affecting the obligations of Grantors hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the enforceability of the Liens and security interests created hereby: (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Secured Party, provided, however, that Secured Party shall first apply for and receive all approvals of applicable Gaming Boards to the extent required for the sale or disposition of slot machines and other gaming property, equipment or devices; (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Secured Party; (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (f) to cause the Collateral to be registered in the name of Secured Party, as legal owner; (g) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith Secured Party may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other Property in exchange for the Collateral; (h) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Secured Party, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral, and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (i) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of Secured Party or in the name of any Grantor; (j) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of any Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and each Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by Secured Party which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and each Grantor waives any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by Secured Party in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Secured Party or Grantors maybe applied by Secured Party without notice to Grantors to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine; (k) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (l) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Loan Documents; (m) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and Secured Party may, at the cost and expense of each Grantor, use such of its supplies,

equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the portion of the Collateral owned by such Grantor or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Secured Party shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of any Grantor for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by Secured Party; (n) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Grantor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Secured Party may designate; provided that Secured Party agrees that it will promptly deliver over to the appropriate Grantor such opened mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and (o) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral; all at Secured Party’s sole option and as Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Grantors will, at Secured Party’s request, assemble the Collateral (or any part thereof, as requested) and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party may reasonably designate (subject to the approval of any applicable Gaming Board), whether at the premises of Grantors or elsewhere (provided, however, that Grantors shall not be required to deliver Collateral consisting of gaming devices to a location in a jurisdiction where possession of such items is unlawful), and will make available to Secured Party, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Grantors for the purpose of Secured Party’s taking possession of such Collateral or storing the same or removing or putting such Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws, Secured Party also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court (and Grantors hereby expressly consent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to the appointment of such a receiver), and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof. Taking possession of the Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Secured Party, or at Grantors’ places of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers. With respect to any Collateral located within or subject to the jurisdiction of a Gaming Board, Secured Party may also request, in connection therewith, such Gaming Board to petition such local judicial or administrative tribunal or other authority as may be deemed appropriate by Secured Party for the appointment of a supervisor or similar official to conduct the normal gaming activities on the premises following the appointment of a receiver or similar remedy. Secured Party may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantors expressly waive any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral. Subject to applicable Laws, Secured Party or any Person on Secured Party’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition. The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including reasonable and documented Attorney Costs) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale

or lease, selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating the Collateral and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations with application as to any particular Secured Obligations to be in the order set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents. Grantors and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Agreement, the remedies provided by this Agreement shall in no way include the right to take any action in contravention of any applicable Gaming Laws.

Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party will send or otherwise make available to the Grantor thereof, such notice as may be required by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time on or after which any private sale thereof is to be made. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Borrower as its agent for the purpose of receiving notices hereunder and agrees that such Grantor shall be deemed to have conclusively received any such notice when received by Borrower. Each Grantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations except as expressly provided for in this paragraph.

Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of any Grantor or any other Person, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof. Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.

9. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes; subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws: (a) to do all acts and things which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to preserve, process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any and every act which any Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement, at the expense of the Grantor so obligated and without any obligation to do so; (c) to prepare, sign, file and/or record, for any Grantor, in the name of the appropriate Grantor, any financing statement, application for registration, or like paper, and to take any other action deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable in order to perfect or maintain perfected the security interests granted hereby; and (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute any and all papers and instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral and to protect Secured

Party’s security interests therein; provided, however, that Secured Party shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad faith or actual malice, Secured Party shall have no liability or responsibility for any act taken or omission with respect thereto.

10. Costs and Expenses. Each Grantor agrees to pay to Secured Party a costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented Attorney Costs) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof. All reasonable and documented advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorney Costs, incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured Obligation of any Grantor under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be paid to Secured Party by each Grantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate then applicable to Obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

11. Statute of Limitations and Other Laws. Until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations. Each Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

12. Other Agreements. Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by any Grantor or in connection with the Secured Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto. All provisions contained in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall control.

13. Continuing Effect. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the

Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

14. Additional Grantors.

Upon delivery of such Instrument of Joinder to and acceptance thereof by Secured Party, notice of which acceptance is hereby waived by Grantors, each such additional Grantor shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Grantor were an original signatory hereof. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its Secured Obligations and the Liens upon its Property granted herein shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of additional Grantors hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor who is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

15. Release of Grantors. This Agreement and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be released when (i) all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements) have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of the Commitment remains outstanding.

Upon such release of Grantors’ obligations hereunder, Secured Party shall promptly return any pledged Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s interests arising under this Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Grantors.

16. Additional Powers and Authorization. Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefits accruing to it as Administrative Agent under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Secured Party may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and may vest any of them with any Property (including, without limitation, any Collateral pledged hereunder), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.

17. Application of Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws. This Agreement is subject to the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders and Secured

Party acknowledge that (i) they are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Board or the Liquor Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Gaming Boards and the Liquor Authorities. The Lenders and Secured Party agree to cooperate with the Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities in connection with the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities.

18. Amendment, Waiver, Etc. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, terminated or waived (explicitly or by implication) except in the manner permitted by the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

To perfect the security interests granted under this Agreement, Grantor expressly authorizes Secured Party to file financing statements naming Grantor as debtor with the Collateral description “all assets of the debtor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or other words to that effect, except that such financing statements shall not include or grant or purport to grant any security interest in any Liquor License or any Gaming License of any Grantor or other items of Property otherwise excluded as Collateral pursuant to provisions hereof.

21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the local Laws of New York.

22. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other document, instrument or agreement executed by any Guarantor or in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto. All provisions contained in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Guaranty and are incorporated herein by this reference.

5. Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors to the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that, during the term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement:

(a) Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor hereby is subordinated to the Guarantied Obligations.

(b) If Secured Party so requests, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for Secured Party and shall be paid over to Secured Party in kind on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(c) Should such Guarantor fail to collect or enforce any such indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to such Guarantor and pay the proceeds thereof to Secured Party in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof, Secured Party as such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact may do such acts and sign such documents in such Guarantor’s name as Secured Party considers necessary or desirable to effect such collection, enforcement and/or payment.

6. Statutes of Limitations and Other Laws. Until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Guarantied Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations. Each Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws.

7. Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of Persons other than such Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, consents and agrees that Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (b) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is not a party or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (d) accept partial payments on the Guarantied Obligations; (e) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (g) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Secured Party or by operation of applicable Laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Guarantied Obligations and any security or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (i) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Guarantied Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may enforce this Guaranty independently as to each Guarantor and independently of any other remedy or security the Secured Party at any time may have or hold in connection with the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to require Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of Borrower, and agrees that Secured Party may proceed against Borrower, or upon or against any security or remedy, before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty, in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Secured Party may file a separate action or actions against Borrower and/or any Guarantor without respect to whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantors agree that Secured Party and Borrower and any Affiliates of Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Guaranty. Secured Party’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guarantied Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Secured Party upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of Secured Party created or granted herein and the enforceability of this Guaranty with

respect to Guarantors at all times shall remain effective to guaranty the full amount of all the Guarantied Obligations even though the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against Borrower or any other guarantor or surety and whether or not Borrower shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Guarantied Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Guarantied Obligations), (d) any failure of Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person, (e) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Guaranty, any failure of Secured Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral to such Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral, (f) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Guaranty, any failure of Secured Party to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, including, without limitation, any failure of Secured Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, (g) any act or omission of Secured Party or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or the Guarantied Obligations or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (h) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of Secured Party to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j) the election by Secured Party, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any extension of creditor the grant of any Lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of Secured Party for any reason, (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (p) to the extent permitted in paragraph 40.495(4) of the NRS, the benefits of the one-action rule under NRS Section 40.430, (q) any action taken by Secured Party that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Loan Document. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guarantied Obligations.

8. Condition of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to Secured Party that each Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a continuing basis, financial and other information

pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties, and each Guarantor now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Secured Party (should any such duty exist) to disclose to any Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their Properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Secured Party during the life of this Guaranty. With respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations, Secured Party need not inquire into the powers of Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries thereof or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and all Guarantied Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be secured hereby.

9. Liens on Real Property. In the event that all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting Liens on any interests in real Property, each Guarantor authorizes Secured Party, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any Guarantied Obligations of any Guarantor, the enforceability of this Guaranty, or the validity or enforceability of any Liens of Secured Party on any Collateral, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real Property or interest therein subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect Guarantors’ Obligations or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any rights of Secured Party created or granted hereby. Each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived from California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, NRS Section 40.430 and judicial decisions relating thereto, and NRS Sections 40.451, 40.455, 40.457 and 40.459, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other similar defenses it otherwise might or would have under California Law or other applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that it may have because any of the Guarantied Obligations of any other party are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) Secured Party may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other party, (2) if Secured Party forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other party: (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (B) Secured Party may collect from such Guarantor even if Secured Party, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from such other party. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor may have because any such other party’s debt is secured by real property.

10. Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a Party until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated or expired, Guarantors hereby expressly waive with respect to Borrower and its successors and

assigns (including any surety) and any other Person which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower; any and all rights at Law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution (except as specifically provided in Section 11 below), to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantors may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other such Person in connection with or as a result of Guarantors’ execution, delivery and/or performance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party. Guarantors agree that they shall not have or assert any such rights against Borrower or its successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety) which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower, either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against Guarantors by Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity), Secured Party or any other such Person. Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that this waiver is intended to benefit Borrower and Secured Party and shall not limit or otherwise affect Guarantors’ liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

11. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of all payments made hereunder, provided that the Guarantied Obligations are then satisfied, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of all such payments. The provisions of this Section 11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Secured Party, and, subject to the provisions of Section 17 below, each Guarantor shall remain liable to Secured Party for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. The “proportionate share” of any Guarantor, for purposes of this Section 11, shall be a fraction (which shall in no event exceed 1.00) the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor over a fair estimate of the liabilities of Guarantor and the denominator of which is the excess (but not less than $1.00) of the fair value of the aggregate assets (without duplication) of all Guarantors over a fair estimate of the aggregate liabilities (without duplication) of all Guarantors. All relevant calculations shall be made as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor.

12. Waiver of Discharge. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent otherwise applicable, each Guarantor hereby waives discharge under NRS Section 104.3605 by waiving all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

13. Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, Secured Party or others, or against any Collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or Law. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Guaranty and the waivers and consents set forth herein, or has made an informed decision not to do so. If this Guaranty or any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under or in violation of applicable Law, this Guaranty and such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

14. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes each and every representation and warranty that is applicable to such Guarantor set forth in Section 4 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

15. Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees to pay to Secured Party all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented Attorney Costs) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof. All reasonable and documented advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented Attorney Costs, incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be subject hereto and shall become a part of the Guarantied Obligations and shall be paid to Secured Party by each Guarantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate then applicable to Obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

16. Construction of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is intended to give rise to absolute and unconditional obligations on the part of each Guarantor; hence, in any construction hereof, notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, this Guaranty shall be construed strictly in favor of Secured Party in order to accomplish its stated purpose.

17. Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a Party, the aggregate liability of all Guarantors hereunder for payment and performance of the Guarantied Obligations shall not exceed an amount which, in the aggregate, is $1.00 less than that amount which if so paid or performed would constitute or result in a “fraudulent transfer”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or terms of similar import, under applicable state or federal Law, including, without limitation, Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is independent of any other guaranties at any, time in effect with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and each Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence of any such guaranties. Any termination by or release of any guarantor in whole or in part (whether it be another Guarantor under this instrument or not) shall not affect the continuing liability of any Guarantor hereunder, and no notice of any such termination or release shall be required. The execution hereof by each Guarantor is not founded upon an expectation or understanding that there will be any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations.

18. Additional Guarantors. Any other Person may become an additional Guarantor under and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Guaranty by executing and delivering to Secured Party an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Secured Party may require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Official thereof then authorized to act on its behalf. Upon delivery of such Instrument of Joinder to and acceptance thereof by Secured Party, notice of which acceptance is hereby waived by Guarantors, each such additional Guarantor shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Guarantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its

obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of additional Guarantors hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an additional Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor who is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder.

19. Release of Guarantors. This Guaranty and all Obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be released when all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements) of each Party to any Loan Document have been paid in full in Cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of the Commitment remains outstanding. Any Guarantor shall be promptly released from its Obligations hereunder if (i) such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction not prohibited under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or (ii) if such release is approved, authorized or ratified as required in Section 10.15 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon such release of any or all such Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s rights arising under this Guaranty, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Guarantors.

20. Application of Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws. This Guaranty is subject to the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders and Secured Party acknowledge that (i) they are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Board or the Liquor Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all right, remedies and powers in or under this Guaranty may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities. The Lenders and Secured Party agree to cooperate with the Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities in connection with the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities.

21. Miscellaneous. Each of the Guarantors consents and agrees to the obligations and other terms imposed upon such Guarantor, and each of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is party, by the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations, covenants and conditions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Neither this Guaranty nor any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party shall be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, terminated or waived (explicitly or by implication) except in such manner as may be permitted by the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) Any Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the local Laws of New York.

(d) Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly given if done in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The notice address for each Guarantor is set forth on the signature pages hereof.

(e) If there is a conflict between the terms of this Guaranty and the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall control.

22. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY OTHER WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

1. Definitions. This Assignment (as defined below) is the Amended and Restated Trademark Collateral Assignment referred to in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Terms defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Assignment shall have the meanings defined for those terms in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As used in this Assignment, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each:

“Assignment” means this Second Amended and Restated Trademark Collateral Assignment wherein a security interest in the Collateral is granted pursuant to Section 3, and any extensions, modifications, renewals, restatements, supplements or amendments hereof, including, without limitation, any documents or agreements by which additional Grantors become party hereto.

“Collateral” means and includes all of the following: (a) all of Grantors’ right, title, and interest in and to all of Grantors’ trademarks, trade names, trade styles, and service marks; all prints and labels on which said trademarks, trade names, trade styles, and service marks appear, have appeared, or will appear, and all designs and general intangibles of a like nature; all registrations and recordings relating to the foregoing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or in any similar office or agency of the United States, any State thereof, or any political subdivision thereof and all reissues, extensions, and renewals thereof (collectively, the “Trademarks”); (b) the goodwill of the business symbolized by each of the Trademarks; and (c) any and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, including any claims by Grantors against third parties for past, present and future infringement of the Trademarks or any licenses with respect thereto; provided, however, that the “Collateral” shall not include Trademarks registered with foreign authorities; and provided further, that any Prospective Trademark Rights shall be excluded from the “Collateral” for purposes hereof (and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Assignment). Schedule 1 hereto sets forth all the Trademarks of the Grantors registered with the USPTO.

“Grantors” means Borrower and those Subsidiaries of Borrower, if any, that are parties hereto as indicated on the signature pages hereof, or that become parties hereto as provided in Section 10 hereof, and each of them, and any one or more of them, jointly and severally. At such times, if any, as no Subsidiaries of Borrower are parties hereto, the term “Grantors” shall refer solely to Borrower. The term “Grantors” shall include “New Grantors.”

“Inter-Company Assignments and Licenses” mean those certain Intellectual Property Assignments and Intellectual Property License Agreements identified on Schedule 2 hereto, pursuant to which certain Restricted Subsidiaries of Borrower have heretofore transferred Trademarks to Borrower.

“New Grantors” mean, collectively, upon becoming a party to this Assignment, PNK (CHILE 1), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and PNK (CHILE 2), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

“Secured Obligations” means (i) with respect to the Borrower, any and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) of any type or nature of Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and any one or more of them, arising under or relating to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Specified Hedge Agreements and to one or more of the Loan Documents and (ii) with respect to any other Grantor, the obligations of such Grantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty made by such Grantor in favor of Secured Party and the Lenders; in each case whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or contingent or noncontingent, including obligations of performance as well as obligations of payment, and including interest that accrues after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against any Grantor or any other Person.

“Secured Party” means the Administrative Agent who shall receive and hold the assignments made hereunder for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders which are parties to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time and which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, shall exercise any right, remedy, privilege, or power of Secured Party hereunder.

2. Incorporation of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Other Provisions of Loan Documents. This Assignment is one of the “Loan Documents” referred to in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. All representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and other provisions contained in any Loan Document as in effect on the Effective Date that are applicable to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Assignment and are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth in full.

3. Assignment. For valuable consideration, (i) Existing Grantors and each of them hereby jointly and severally confirm their continuing grant of a security interest in, and its continuing assignment and conveyance to Secured Party as successor to the Existing Secured Party, to secure the prompt and indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and each of them, all of the Collateral existing as of the Effective Date or acquired thereafter and (ii) New Grantors and each of them hereby a grant security interest in, and assign and convey such security interest to Secured Party, to secure the prompt and indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and each of them, all Collateral existing as of the Effective Date or acquired thereafter. This Assignment is a continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all

Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of any Grantor or any other Person or any other event or proceeding affecting any Person.

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Grantors, and each of them, represent, warrant and agree that:

(a) Grantors will, at their expense, perform all acts and execute all documents necessary to maintain on and after the Effective Date the existence of the Collateral as valid, subsisting, and registered Trademarks, including, without limitation, the filing of any renewal affidavits and applications, it being acknowledged and agreed that Grantors shall only so maintain Collateral to the extent the same is necessary for the operation of Grantors’ business as currently conducted. To Grantors’ respective knowledge, the Collateral is not subject to any Liens, claims, mortgages, assignments or licenses of any nature whatsoever, whether recorded or unrecorded, except as (i) provided in favor of Secured Party, or (ii) Liens not prohibited by Section 7.3 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or otherwise not violative of the representations and warranties in Section 4.9 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) As of the Effective Date, none of Grantors or their Subsidiaries has any Trademarks registered with the USPTO other than those described in Schedule 1.

(c) Grantors shall not assign, sell, mortgage, lease, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in or Lien upon, encumber, grant an exclusive or nonexclusive license or sublicense relating thereto, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except as permitted herein or in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Nothing in this Assignment shall be deemed a consent by Secured Party to any such action, except as such action is permitted hereunder or under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; provided, however, Secured Party acknowledges and approves the Inter-Company Assignments and Licenses.

(d) If any Grantor shall hereinafter obtain a registration of a Trademark with the USPTO, such Grantor shall promptly inform Secured Party of such registration in writing and, upon request of Secured Party, execute and deliver to Secured Party any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and such other papers as may be requested by Secured Party to evidence the assignment to Secured Party of such Trademark. Each Grantor authorizes Secured Party to modify this Assignment by amending Schedule 1 to include as additional Collateral any such Trademark; and each Grantor shall, upon request of Secured Party from time to time, execute and deliver to Secured Party any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and such other papers as may be requested by Secured Party to evidence the assignment of a security interest to Secured Party of each such Trademark.

(e) On or after the Effective Date, no Grantor will do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Trademark may become abandoned, cancelled, invalidated,

unenforceable, avoided, or avoidable, except that Grantor, or any of them, may take or omit to take any of the foregoing actions with respect to any Trademark that is no longer necessary for the conduct of the Grantors’ businesses as currently conducted, regardless whether the same was theretofore material.

(f) Grantors will render any assistance, as Secured Party may determine is necessary, to Secured Party in any proceeding before the USPTO, any federal or state court, or any similar office or agency in the United States, or any State therein, or any other country, to maintain and protect Secured Party’s security interest in the Trademarks.

(g) Grantors retain all responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Trademarks, and each Grantor hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage, or expense (including Attorney Costs) arising out of any alleged defect in any product manufactured, promoted, or sold by any Grantor (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Trademark or out of the manufacture, promotion, labeling, sale, or advertisement of any such product by any Grantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof.

(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Assignment is within the power of Grantors and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other entity action and to the best of each Grantor’s knowledge do not contravene any Law, rule, regulation or any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal or of any agreement to which any Grantor is a party or by which any of its property is bound.

(i) In the event of any material infringement of any of the Trademarks by a third party, Grantors shall promptly notify Secured Party of such infringement and xxx for and diligently pursue damages for such infringement if such infringement could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect; otherwise Grantors shall not be required to institute any such actions, and may do so in their own discretion. If any Grantor shall fail to take such action within one (1) month after such notice is given to Secured Party, Secured Party may, but shall not be required to, itself take such action in the name of any or all Grantors, and each Grantor hereby appoints Secured Party the true and lawful attorney of Grantors, for them and in their name, place and xxxxx, on behalf of Grantors, to commence judicial proceedings in any court or before any other tribunal to enjoin and recover damages for such infringement, any such damages due to Grantors, net of costs and Attorney Costs, to be applied to the Secured Obligations.

(j) Each Grantor shall, at its sole expense, do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances, and instruments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, relating to the creation, validity, or perfection of the security interests provided for in this Assignment under 35 U.S.C. Section 261, 15 U.S.C. Section 1051 et seq., the Uniform Commercial Code, or other Law of the United States, the State of New York or other States as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and shall take all such other action as the Secured Party may reasonably require to more completely vest in and assure to Secured Party its rights hereunder or its security interest in any of the Collateral, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party or its designee, at such Grantor’s expense, to

execute such documents, and file such financing statements with respect thereto with or without such Grantor’s signature, as Secured Party may reasonably deem appropriate. In the event that any recording or refiling (or the filing of any statement of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) or any other action, is required at any time to protect and preserve such security interest, Grantors shall, at their sole cost and expense, cause the same to be done or taken at such time as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party. Each Grantor further authorizes Secured Party to have this or any other security agreement recorded or filed with the USPTO or other appropriate federal governmental office with respect to Trademarks described on Schedule 1.

(k) Secured Party is hereby irrevocably appointed by each Grantor as its lawful attorney and agent, with full power of substitution to execute and deliver on behalf of and in the name of any or all Grantors, such financing statements, assignments, pledges and other documents and agreements, and to take such other action as Secured Party may deem necessary for the purpose of perfecting, protecting or effecting the security interests granted herein and effected hereby, and any mortgages or Liens necessary or desirable to implement or effectuate the same, under any applicable Law, and Secured Party is hereby authorized to file on behalf of and in the name of any or all Grantors, at Grantors’ sole expense, such financing statements, assignments, pledges and other documents in any appropriate governmental office.

(l) Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, pay any amount, or do any act which Grantors fail to pay or do as required hereunder or as requested by Secured Party to preserve, defend, protect, maintain, record, amend, or enforce the Secured Obligations, the Collateral, or the security interest granted hereunder, including, without limitation, all filing or recording fees, court costs, collection charges, and Attorney Costs. Grantors will be liable to Secured Party for any such payment, which payment shall be deemed an advance by the Lenders to Grantors, shall be payable on demand, together with interest at the rate then applicable to Obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and shall be part of the Secured Obligations.

5. Inspection. At all reasonable times on reasonable prior notice, each Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party and its representatives the right to inspect such Grantor’s properties wherein the Trademarks are used and the products and records relating thereto.

6. Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in addition to all other rights and remedies of Secured Party, whether provided under Law, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or otherwise, Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies, which may be exercised without notice to, or consent by, any Grantor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder:

(a) Secured Party may use any of the Trademarks for the sale of goods, completion of work in process, or rendering of services in connection with enforcing any security interest granted to Secured Party by Grantors or any Subsidiary of any Grantor.

(b) Secured Party may grant such license or licenses relating to the Collateral for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner, as Secured

Party shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. Such license or licenses may be general, special or otherwise, and may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis throughout all or part of the United States of America, its territories or possessions, and all foreign countries.

(c) Secured Party may assign, sell or otherwise dispose of or otherwise enforce its security interest in the Collateral, or any part thereof, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, and take all actions permitted by law in connection with such enforcement, except that Secured Party agrees to provide Grantors with five (5) days’ prior written notice of any proposed disposition of the Collateral. The requirement of sending notice conclusively shall be met if such notice is mailed, first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantor owning the same. Each Grantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations except as expressly provided in this Section 6(c). Subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Law, Secured Party shall have the power to (i) buy the Collateral, or any part thereof, and (ii) execute assurances and perform all other acts which Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s sole discretion, deem appropriate or proper in connection with such assignment, sale, disposition or enforcement of the Collateral. In any such event, Grantors shall be liable for any deficiency.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, in order to implement the assignment, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof, Secured Party may, at any time, execute and deliver, on behalf of Grantors, and each of them, pursuant to the authority granted in powers of attorney, one or more instruments of assignment of the Trademarks (or any registration or recording relating thereto), in form suitable for filing, recording, or registration. Grantors agree to pay Secured Party, on demand, all costs incurred in any such transfer of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any taxes, fees, and Attorney Costs.

(e) Secured Party may first apply the proceeds actually received from any such use, assignment, sale, or other disposition of Collateral first to the reasonable costs and expenses thereof; including, without limitation, Attorney Costs, and all reasonable and documented travel, and other expenses which may be incurred by Secured Party. Thereafter, Secured Party may apply any remaining proceeds to such of the Secured Obligations as provided in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Grantors shall remain liable to Secured Party for any expenses or Secured Obligations remaining unpaid after the application of such proceeds, and Grantors will pay Secured Party, within ten (10) days of demand therefore, any such unpaid amount, together from the date the payment is due and payable hereunder with interest at the rate(s) set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(f) In connection with any such license, use, assignment, sale, or other disposition of Collateral (or any part thereof), Grantors shall supply to Secured Party, or Secured Party’s designee, Grantors’ knowledge and expertise relating to the manufacture and sale of the products and services bearing the Trademarks and Grantors’ customer lists and other records relating to the Trademarks and the distribution hereof.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Secured Party to take any such action at any time. All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether provided under Law, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, this Assignment, or otherwise shall be cumulative, and none is exclusive of any right or remedy otherwise provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity. Such rights and remedies may be enforced alternatively, successively, or concurrently.

7. Certain Waivers.

(a) Each Grantor hereby waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing, if any, in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its rights following any Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and exercise its rights with respect thereto; excluding, however, rights to a judicial hearing existing under the applicable Gaming Laws.

(b) Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including, without limitation, this Assignment and the Collateral subject to a security interest hereunder), or guaranties of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order. Each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Assignment or any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or by which any of such Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Laws.

(c) Except for notices specifically provided for herein, each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Assignment, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect both to Secured Obligations and any collateral therefor, each Grantor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, of any Person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable. Secured Party shall have no duty as to the protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto except as otherwise required by Law. Secured Party may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for liability. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the Collateral unless such waiver be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or on the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

8. Costs and Expenses.

(a) (i) Grantors will reimburse for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in implementing or subsequently amending this Assignment, including, without limitation, recording and filing fees, appraisal fees, stamp taxes, and Attorney Costs in connection with this Assignment, (ii) Grantors will pay or reimburse for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with and in the enforcement of this Assignment to the extent provided for in Section 10.5 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) Grantors agree to reimburse Secured Party for and indemnify it against, any and all documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including liabilities for penalties) of whatever kind or nature sustained and reasonably incurred in connection with any claim, demand, suit or legal or arbitration proceeding relating to this Assignment, or the exercise of any rights or powers hereunder, including Attorney Costs.

9. Continuing Effect. This Assignment shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

10. Additional Grantors. The initial Grantors hereunder shall be Borrower and the Subsidiaries, if any, as are signatories hereto. From time to time following the Effective Date, additional Subsidiaries of Borrower may become parties hereto as required by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as additional Grantors, by executing and delivering to Secured Party an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form of Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Secured Party may reasonably require in connection therewith, wherein such additional Grantors agree to become a party hereto and to be bound hereby. Upon delivery of such Instrument of Joinder to and acceptance thereof by Secured Party, notice of which acceptance is hereby waived by Grantors, each such additional Grantor shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Grantor were an original signatory hereof. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its Secured Obligations and the Liens upon its Collateral granted herein shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of additional Grantors hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to became an additional Grantor hereunder. This Assignment shall be fully effective as to any Grantor who is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

11. Release of Grantors. This Assignment and all Secured Obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be released when all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements) have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of the Commitment remains outstanding. This Assignment and Secured Obligations of Grantors with respect to any item or portion of Collateral shall be released (i) when such item or portion of Collateral is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any transaction otherwise not prohibited under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or (ii) if such release is approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon any release of Grantors’ Secured Obligations hereunder, Secured Party shall promptly return any Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall promptly endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s interests arising under this Assignment, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Grantors.

12. Additional Powers and Authorization. Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefits accruing to it in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Secured Party may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and may vest any of them with any Property (including, without limitation, any Collateral assigned hereunder), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.

13. [Reserved]

14. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Assignment shall not be further amended, modified, supplemented, extended, terminated or waived (explicitly or by implication) except by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by Secured Party and Grantors (or in such other manner as may be permitted by the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Grantors and Secured Party may from time to time agree in writing to the release of certain of the Collateral from the security interest created hereby.

(b) This Assignment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c) This Assignment and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the United States, and, to the extent that the Laws of the United States are not applicable, by the local Laws of New York.

(d) Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted under this Assignment shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly

given if done in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(e) If any term or provision of this Assignment conflicts with any term or provision of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the term or provision of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall control. If any term or provision of this Assignment conflicts with any term or provision of the Existing Assignment, the term or provision of this Assignment shall control. If any provision hereof shall be deemed to be invalid by any court, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of this Assignment.

15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY OTHER WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER EXISTING AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OR ARISING THEREAFTER AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor has executed this Assignment by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.

For purposes of this Certificate, “Transactions” means (i) the fulfillment of all conditions to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the funding of such Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, if any, on the Effective Date and the use of the proceeds thereof on the Effective Date, (ii) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and (iii) the payment of all fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing.

I hereby certify on behalf of the Loan Parties as follows:

1. I am the duly qualified and acting chief financial officer of the Borrower and in such capacity am a senior financial officer with responsibility for the management of the financial affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the preparation of the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. I, together with other officers of the Borrower, acted on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In connection with the following certifications, I have reviewed the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Borrower.

2. I have carefully reviewed the contents of this Certificate, and I have conferred with counsel for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the purpose of discussing the meaning of its contents and the purpose for which it is to be used. I have made such investigations and inquiries as I have deemed to be necessary and prudent, and have reviewed the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. I am providing this Certificate solely in my capacity as an officer of the Borrower.

3. As of the date hereof, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a) through (d) of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

4. In connection with the negotiation and execution of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, I have caused the preparation of the projections that have been delivered to the Lenders (the “Projections”). A true, correct and complete copy of the Projections are attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Projections were prepared on the basis of information available as of the date thereof. The Projections were prepared based on good faith estimates of the Borrower’s senior management team. I know of no facts which have occurred since the date of the Projections through the date hereof which would lead me to believe that the

Projections are inaccurate in any material respect. Based thereon, I believe that the Projections, taken as a whole over the periods reflected therein, provide reasonable estimates of future performance of the Loan Parties (it being understood that the Projections are by their nature inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be achieved).

5. For purposes of delivering this Certificate, including the preparation of the Projections delivered herewith as Exhibit A and the Pro Forma Balance Sheet delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement, I have:

(a) reviewed the appraisal valuation letters delivered or required to be delivered on or before the date hereof pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(b) consulted with counsel for the Loan Parties concerning, among other matters, pending and threatened litigation, uninsured risks, Guarantee Obligations and other contingent obligations, and I have determined that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities or liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases other than those permitted hereunder or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement;

(c) reviewed the audited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of , 200 , and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such date;

(d) reviewed the unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of , 200 and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal quarter and the year-to-date ended on such date; and

(e) made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate and have taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties after consummation of the Transactions.

Based upon the foregoing, I have reached the following conclusions:

(A) The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not now, and the consummation of the Transactions will not render them, “insolvent” as defined below. I understand that in this context, “insolvent” means that the present fair salable value of assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is less than the amount that will be required to pay their probable liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured. I have assumed that in this context “fair salable value” means the price available upon the sale of such assets by a willing seller to a willing buyer, where material information as to the asset and the market for such asset is known to both, and where neither is under any compulsion to consummate the transaction. I also understand that (i) the term “debts” includes any liability on a “claim”, and (ii) “claim” means any (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed,

undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

(B) The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not incur, and do not intend to incur or believe that they would incur, debts beyond their ability to pay as they mature as a result of the consummation of the Transactions. I have based my conclusion in part on the Projections which demonstrate that Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will have sufficient cash flow and cash resources after paying all of their scheduled anticipated indebtedness (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, scheduled payments by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and other indebtedness and liabilities permitted under the Credit Agreement). I have concluded that the realization on the current assets in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is expected to be sufficient to pay current recurring debt, current short-term debt and current long-term debt service of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and that the cash flow and cash resources (including earnings plus non-cash charges to earnings and, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the disposition of assets held for sale and refinancings supported by such cash flow) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is expected to be sufficient to provide cash necessary to repay indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including, in the case of the Borrower, the indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and liabilities permitted under the Credit Agreement) as the same matures.

(C) The consummation of the Transactions will not leave Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with property remaining in their hands constituting “unreasonably small capital.” I have assumed for purposes of reaching this conclusion that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in light of the Projections and available credit capacity.

(D) No Loan Party has executed the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Letters of Credit, any other Loan Documents, in each case, to which such Loan Party is a party or made any transfer or incurred any obligations in connection with the Transactions, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors.

I understand that the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing in connection with the extension of credit to the Borrower on the Effective Date pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

I represent the foregoing information to be, to the best of my knowledge and belief, after diligent inquiry, true, correct and complete in all material respects and execute this Solvency Certificate as the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower as of , 2005.

B.	Assignor’s subsidiaries currently hold a fee interest in the Property (such subsidiaries are referred to herein as “Owners”).

C.	Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make certain credit facilities available to the Assignor, for the purpose of, among other things, the development of the Property.

To secure Assignor’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement, Owners will each execute an Amendment to Deed of Trust with Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement in standard Missouri form (each, as may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Mortgage”) in favor of Lenders and to be recorded against a portion of the Property owned by such Owner.

E.	As a condition to the Lenders making the credit facilities available under the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent has required a collateral assignment from Assignor of all of its rights under the Redevelopment Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. ASSIGNMENT. As additional collateral for the Assignor’s obligations under the Loan Documents, Assignor hereby assigns pursuant to Section 4.2.1 of the

Redevelopment Agreement to Administrative Agent all of the rights and powers of Assignor, and its permitted successors and assigns, under the Redevelopment Agreement, it being understood that the rights of the Administrative Agent or any designee thereof shall be no greater than those of the Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement.

2. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF ASSIGNOR. Assignor shall perform and observe in a timely manner all conditions and obligations on the part of Assignor to be performed or observed under the Redevelopment Agreement. Assignor will not enter into any material modification of the Redevelopment Agreement that could reasonably adversely affect the Lenders without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and will promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of any consents or other approvals which it receives from LCRA under the Redevelopment Agreement. Assignor will promptly notify Administrative Agent if it receives a notice of non-compliance or notice of default under the Redevelopment Agreement from LCRA. Assignor authorizes Administrative Agent to cure any event of non-compliance or default, to the same extent as Assignor may cure such event of non-compliance or default, specified in any notice of non-compliance or notice of default which Assignor may receive under the Redevelopment Agreement.

3. ESTOPPEL. The Assignor and LCRA each hereby certifies to Administrative Agent as of the date hereof as follows:

b.

4. AGREEMENTS AND APPROVALS BY LCRA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Redevelopment Agreement, LCRA agrees to the following provisions:

a. LCRA hereby acknowledges the assignment by Assignor of all of its rights, title and interests under the Redevelopment Agreement to Administrative Agent as additional collateral for the Assignor’s obligations under the Loan Documents and, to the extent such consent is required under the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement and applicable law, consents thereto.

b. LCRA shall have the right to approve any and all transfers of all or any portion of the Property to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s successors, assigns or nominees (herein, a “Permitted Transferee”) pursuant to the

exercise of the rights granted to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the approval of the successful bidder at any foreclosure or sale held to foreclose either of the Mortgages, or to any other transferee by reason of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise pursuant to the rights granted under any such instruments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent has no obligation or liability for any of the obligations and liabilities of Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement, and shall have no such obligation or liability, unless and until the Administrative Agent acquires title to the Property through foreclosure or similar proceedings, provided that any Permitted Transferee of the Administrative Agent shall assume, by documents reasonably acceptable to LCRA, all obligations and liabilities of the Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement concurrently with its acquisition of the interests of the Assignor in the Property.

c. LCRA acknowledges that the Assignor is not permitted to enter into any material modification of the Redevelopment Agreement that could reasonably adversely affect the Lenders without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

d. LCRA agrees that the Administrative Agent (insofar as the rights of LCRA are concerned) shall have the right, at its option, within a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of ten (10) business days in the case of any failure to pay money, after its receipt of any notice or demand with respect to any event of default or other event of breach or non-compliance by Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any default and to add the cost thereof to the lien of the applicable Mortgage. If such default shall be of a nature or type which can only be reasonably remedied or cured by Administrative Agent upon obtaining possession of the Property, or applicable portion thereof, and Administrative Agent seeks to obtain possession with diligence, through appointment of a receiver or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall have such a reasonable period of time after so obtaining possession to cure such default; provided further, that so long as Administrative Agent commences the cure or remedy of such default within a reasonable period of time and thereafter diligently and with reasonable continuity prosecutes such cure or remedy to completion as soon as reasonably practicable, Administrative Agent shall have the right to continue to prosecute any cure or remedy.

e. LCRA agrees that if Administrative Agent or any Permitted Transferee acquires title to the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of the rights granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any prior defaults by Assignor or any of the obligations and liabilities of Assignor (including, without limitation, indemnity and defense obligations) in connection with the Property or under the Redevelopment Agreement.

Documents, including, without limitation, commencement, prosecution and completion of foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or (ii) impair, defeat or render invalid the lien of the Mortgages.
