effective provision to secure all of the 2005 Notes and the 2008 Notes then
outstanding by such Lien, equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all
other Indebtedness thereby secured, so long as such Indebtedness shall be so

Indebtedness, plus any premium or fee payable in connection with any such
extension, renewal, replacement or refunding, so secured at the time of such

create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by Liens without
equally and ratably securing the 2005 Notes and the 2008 Notes then outstanding,

6
Property so leased. This restriction will not apply to a sale and leaseback
transaction involving the taking back of a lease for a period of less than three

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any subsidiary may enter
into a sale and leaseback transaction, provided, that at the time of such
transaction, after giving effect thereto, the Attributable Value thereof,
together with all Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted pursuant to Section
4.08 (other than those Liens permitted by the second paragraph of Section 4.08,
and other than the Attributable Value of the sale and leaseback transactions

made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities are subject to, and

The Securities are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days'
nor more than 60 days' notice by first class mail, in whole or in part, at the
option of the Company at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the Principal Amount of the Securities so redeemed or (ii) as

interest thereon to the redemption date.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date,
the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by a Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining

of such Security.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption
date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the

Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S.
Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not
published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day, (A) the average

Treasury Reference Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such
redemption date.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be
issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 3 of the Indenture, if
any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of Securities of
a Holder must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any Gaming Law,
such Holder or such beneficial owner shall apply for a license, qualification or
a finding of suitability, as the case may be, within the required time period.
If such person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is not found
suitable (in each case, a "failure of compliance"), the Company shall have the
right, at its option, (i) to require such Holder or owner to dispose of such
Holder's or owner's Securities within 30 days of receipt of notice of the
Company's election or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by

requested or prescribed by such Gaming Authority the Securities of such Holder
or owner at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (A) 100% of the Principal
Amount thereof or (B) the price at which such Holder or owner acquired the
Securities, together, in either case, with accrued interest to the earlier of
the redemption date or the date of the failure of compliance, which may be less
than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by
such Gaming Authority. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
such redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible

at a repurchase price (the "Repurchase Price") in cash equal to 101% of the
Principal Amount of the Securities plus accrued interest, if any, to the
Repurchase Date (as defined below) and (b) deposit with the Paying Agent an
amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Securities then
outstanding so as to be available for payment to the Holders of Securities who
elect to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Securities.

and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued interest will be
paid to the person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to
Holders who tender Securities pursuant to the Repurchase Offer.

purchase and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing his election to have
such Securities purchased; and
(7) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be

Repurchase Offer; and (ii) deliver to the Trustee the Securities so tendered,
together with an Officers' Certificate identifying the Securities or portions
thereof so accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly

indirect beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of 35% or more of the outstanding voting Capital Stock of the
Company, unless a majority of the Continuing Directors approves

Board of Directors of the Company are not Continuing Directors.

Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, on
behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. The right of any Holder (or such
Holder's duly designated proxy) to participate in any consent required or sought
pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company to

Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in Principal Amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee
and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have
received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Securities at
the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with
A-7
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60
days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the
enforcement of any payment of Principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon
on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal of and any premium and
interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of like tenor,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities

tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for transfer, the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in
whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No past, present or future director, officer, employee, stockholder or
incorporator, as such, of the Company or any successor corporation shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.
All terms used in this Security without definition which are defined
in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA.
