The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
47
the Issuers) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.
Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 3.07    Optional Redemption.

(a)    The redemption price for the Notes that are redeemed before September 15, 2027 will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date).
(b)    The redemption price for Notes that are redeemed on or after September 15, 2027 will be the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on September 15 of each of the years indicated below:

(2)    such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.
Section 3.08    Mandatory Redemption.
The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
Section 3.09    Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each holder, by accepting a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed that, if any Gaming Authority requires a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to be registered, licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law, such Holder or Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability in accordance with such Gaming Law and shall cooperate with the requests of any Gaming Authority for information, documentation, and/or testimony. If such Holder or Beneficial Owner (1) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such other period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (2) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, then the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to:
(a)    require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such other period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of:
(1)    the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability during such period; or
52
(2)    the receipt of notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or
(b)    redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to:
(1)    the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority; or
(2)    the lesser of:
(A)    the principal amount of the Notes; and
(B)    the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes,
in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to, but not including, the earlier of (1) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (2) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.09 as soon as reasonably practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to:
(a)    exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or
(b)    receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.
Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or Beneficial Owner may incur in connection with its registration, application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability, or any renewal or continuation of the foregoing or compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority. Those costs and expenses will be the obligations of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable. In addition, any Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable, required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws must pay all investigative fees and costs of any Gaming Authority in connection with such license, qualification, finding of suitability or application therefor.

(e)    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Xxxx Resorts Finance or any Guarantor (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Xxxx Resorts Finance or any of the Guarantors) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee exists on the Issue Date, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $125.0 million or more, if such acceleration is not annulled within 30 days after written notice as provided in this Indenture;
(f)    failure by Xxxx Resorts Capital, Xxxx Resorts Finance or any Guarantor to pay final non-appealable judgments (not paid or covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has not denied responsibility) aggregating in excess of $125.0 million, which judgments are not paid, bonded, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
(g)    either Issuer or any Guarantor:

(5)    generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or
(h)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(1)    is for relief against either Issuer or any Guarantor in an involuntary case;
(2)    appoints a custodian of either Issuer or any Guarantor; or
(3)    orders the liquidation of either Issuer or any Guarantor;
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; provided that (i) if a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.
Section 6.02    Acceleration.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to either Issuer or any Guarantor, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
Section 6.03    Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
65
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05    Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. In addition, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits.
Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, when due, a Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a)    such Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(b)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c)    such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
66
(e)    during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to Xxxx Resorts Finance and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by Beneficial Owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuers with such other information as the Issuers may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Xxxxxx’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the Beneficial Owner of the Notes in lieu of the Depositary or its nominee.

    The Trustee shall not have any obligation to check, verify or confirm any information in any Position Representation and may rely conclusively on any Position Representation delivered to it.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07    Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08    Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the

Section 6.09    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10    Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First:    to the Trustee, for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second:    to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.
68
Section 6.11    Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(c)    in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(d)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

Section 8.06    Repayment to Issuers.
Subject to escheatment law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on its request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall
77
thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 8.07    Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(j)    to comply with requirements of applicable Gaming Laws or to provide for requirements imposed by applicable Gaming Authorities;
(k)    to provide for the acceptance or appointment of a successor trustee; or
(l)    provide for the Notes to become secured.
Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.11 hereof), the Notes and the Note Guarantees, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).
79
Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall deliver to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or by the Guarantors with any provision of the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(a)    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Section 4.11 hereof;
(c)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;
(d)    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(e)    make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(f)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes;
80
(g)    waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 4.11 hereof);
(h)    amend or modify any Note Guarantee in a manner that would adversely affect the holders of the Notes or release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture (except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture); or
(i)    make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.
Section 9.03    Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.04    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.05    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the supplemental indenture is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuers, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms.

NOTE GUARANTEES
Section 11.01    Note Guarantee.
(a)    Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1)    the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(2)    in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection.
(b)    The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. Each Guarantor waives any right or claims of right to cause a marshalling of the Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s assets or to proceed against any Guarantor, any Issuer or any other guarantor of any Obligations that are Guaranteed in any particular order, including, but not limited to, any right arising out of Nevada Revised Statutes 40.430, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes 40.495(2).
(c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such
82
Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d)    Each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, as the case may be, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
Section 11.02    Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, as the case may be, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 11.03    Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
83
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
Section 11.04    Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
(a)    A Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than either of the Issuers or another Guarantor, unless:
(1)    immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(2)    the Person surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to one or more supplemental indentures and other appropriate documents satisfactory to the Trustee.
(b)    In case of any consolidation or merger involving a Guarantor under this Section 11.04 hereof, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
(c)    Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantor is permitted to reorganize as a corporation pursuant to a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.
Section 11.05    Release of Guarantees.
Subject to compliance with the provisions described above under this Article 11, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:
(a)    in connection with any sale, assignment, exchange, transfer conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger,
84
consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Issuer or a Guarantor;
(b)    in connection with any sale, assignment, exchange, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Issuer or a Guarantor;
(c)    upon Legal Defeasance as provided for in Section 8.02 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided for in Section 12.01 hereof; or
(d)    upon the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor in a transaction or series of transactions that does not violate the terms of this Indenture.
Section 11.06    Additional Note Guarantees.
Each Domestic Subsidiary of Xxxx Resorts Finance that incurs or guarantees obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities or certain other capital markets debt securities (excluding any project financings in connection with Expansion Capital Expenditures) in excess of $100.0 million will guarantee the Notes and execute one or more supplemental indentures within 10 Business Days of such incurrence or guarantee; provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary need not become a guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary.
ARTICLE 12.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 12.01    Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:
(a)    either:
(1)    all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2)    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation will become due and payable by reason of the delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal,
85
premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption;
(b)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;
(c)    the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuers under this Indenture; and

In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 12.02    Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
Section 13.01    Joint and Several Liability.
(a)    Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Indenture and the Notes, the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuers, and either of them, shall be deemed joint and several obligations of the Issuers. Any waiver including, without limitation, any suretyship waiver, made by either Issuer in this Indenture or the Notes shall be deemed to be made also by the other Issuer and references in any such waiver to either Issuer shall be deemed to include the other Issuer and each of them to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(b)    Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Indenture or the Notes, each such document to which both Issuers are party shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the following waivers:
Each of the Issuers hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including, without limitation, (i) any right to require the Trustee or any of the Holders (each a “Beneficiary”) to proceed against either of the Issuers or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Beneficiary at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the power of a Beneficiary before proceeding against such Issuer or other Person, (ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or in any action for the collection or performance of the Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the “Note Obligations”), (iii) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any Person or the failure of a Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any Person, (iv) appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets, redemption, exemption, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of a Beneficiary, any Issuer, any endorser, guarantor or creditor of either Issuer or on the part of any other Person under this or any other instrument or document in connection with any Obligation or evidence of Indebtedness held by a Beneficiary as collateral or in connection with the Note Obligations, (v) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Beneficiary, including, without limitation, an election to proceed by non judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of either Issuer, the right of either Issuer to proceed against the other Issuer or any other Person for reimbursement, or both, (vi) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (vii) any duty on the part of a Beneficiary to disclose to either Issuer any facts a Beneficiary may now or hereafter know about either of the Issuers or any other Person, regardless of whether a Beneficiary has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which such Issuer intends to assume, or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such Issuer, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to the either Issuer, because each Issuer acknowledges that each Issuer is fully responsible for being

and keeping informed of the financial condition of each of the Issuers or any other Person and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment of any Note Obligations, (viii) any defense arising because of the election of a Beneficiary, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law, (ix) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Law, (x) any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the other Issuer or any other Person that arises from the existence of performance of each Issuer of its obligations under this Indenture or the Notes, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy by a Beneficiary against the other Issuer or any collateral which a Beneficiary now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either of the Issuers or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights, (xi) any rights which it may acquire by way of contribution under this Indenture or the Notes, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights, and (xii) any defense based on one action laws and any other anti-deficiency protections granted to guarantors by applicable law. No failure or delay on the Trustee’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under this Indenture shall impair or waive one such power, right or privilege. Each of the Issuers acknowledges and agrees that any nonrecourse or exculpation provided for in this Indenture or the Notes, or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, limiting the Beneficiaries’ recourse to specific collateral, or limiting the Beneficiaries’ right to enforce a deficiency judgment against the Issuers, shall have absolutely no application to the Issuers’ liability under this Indenture or the Notes.
(c)    In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Article 13 and the corresponding provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1)    Interest. Xxxx Resorts Finance, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Xxxx Resorts Finance” ) and Xxxx Resorts Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Xxxx Resorts Capital,” and together with Xxxx Resorts Finance, the “Issuers”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.250% per annum from September 20, 2024 until maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be March 15, 2025. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(2)    Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers,
A-1-3
payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3)    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any Guarantor may act in any such capacity.
(4)    Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 20, 2024 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “Additional Notes.” The term “Notes” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.
(5)    Optional Redemption. The Notes are redeemable at the Issuers’ election, in whole or in part at any time prior to their Stated Maturity.
(a)    The redemption price for the Notes that are redeemed before September 15, 2027 will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date).
(b)    The redemption price for Notes that are redeemed on or after September 15, 2027 will be the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on September 15 of each of the years indicated below:
A-1-4
YearPercentage
2027    103.125%
2028    101.563%
2029 and thereafter    100.000%

Prior to September 15, 2027, the Issuers may also, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Notes issued under this Indenture) with the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date); provided that
(1)    at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Notes issues under this Indenture) remains outstanding after each such redemption (unless all Notes are otherwise repurchased or redeemed substantially concurrently with the corresponding redemption); and
(2)    such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.
Any such redemption may, at the discretion of the Issuers, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including a Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the discretion of the Issuers, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was delivered), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed.
Unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
(6)    Mandatory Redemption. The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7)    Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note, each Holder, by accepting this Note, shall be deemed to have agreed that, if any Gaming Authority requires a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to be registered, licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law, such Holder or Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability in accordance with such Gaming Law and shall
A-1-5
cooperate with the requests of any Gaming Authority for information, documentation, and/or testimony. If such Holder or Beneficial Owner (a) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such other period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (b) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, then the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to: (1) require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such other period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of: (a) the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability during such period, or (b) the receipt of notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or (2) redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to: (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, or (b) the lesser of: (i) the principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes, in either case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to, but not including, the earlier of (A) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (B) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.
Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or Beneficial Owner may incur in connection with its registration, application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability, or any renewal or continuation of the foregoing or compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority. Those costs and expenses will be the obligations of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable. In addition, any Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable, required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws must pay all investigative fees and costs of any Gaming Authority in connection with such license, qualification, finding of suitability or application therefor.
A-1-6
(8)    Repurchase at Option of Holder. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 10 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(9)    Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
(10)    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(c)    Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to (i) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (ii) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (iii) provide for the assumption of the either Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be, in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Xxxx Resorts Finance’s or such Guarantor’s assets pursuant to Article 5 or Article 11 of the Indenture, (iv) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any such Holder under the Indenture, (v) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” in the Issuers’ Offering Memorandum, dated as of September 10, 2024, relating to the offering of the Initial Notes, to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, which intent may be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate to that effect, (vi) to release the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (vii) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the date of the Indenture, (viii) allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes, (ix) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if then applicable, (x) to comply with requirements of applicable Gaming Laws or to provide for requirements imposed by applicable Gaming Authorities; (xi) to provide for the acceptance or appointment of a successor trustee or (xii) provide for the Notes to be secured.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to (a) either Issuer or (b) any Guarantor, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually an Officers’ Certificate regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any

However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
(16)    No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1)    Interest. Xxxx Resorts Finance, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Xxxx Resorts Finance”) and Xxxx Resorts Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Xxxx Resorts Capital,” and together with Xxxx Resorts Finance, the “Issuers”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.250% per annum from September 20, 2024 until maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be March 15, 2025. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(2)    Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United
A-2-4

States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3)    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any Guarantor may act in any such capacity.
(4)    Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 20, 2024 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “Additional Notes.” The term “Notes” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.
(5)    Optional Redemption. The Notes are redeemable at the Issuers’ election, in whole or in part at any time prior to their Stated Maturity.
(a)    The redemption price for the Notes that are redeemed before September 15, 2027 will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date).
(b)    The redemption price for Notes that are redeemed on or after September 15, 2027 will be the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on September 15 of each of the years indicated below:
YearPercentage
2027    103.125%
2028    101.563%
2029 and thereafter    100.000%
Prior to September 15, 2027, the Issuers may also, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Notes issued under this Indenture) with
A-2-5

the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date); provided that
(1)    at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Notes issues under this Indenture) remains outstanding after each such redemption (unless all Notes are otherwise repurchased or redeemed substantially concurrently with the corresponding redemption); and
(2)    such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.
Any such redemption may, at the discretion of the Issuers, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including a Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the discretion of the Issuers, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was delivered), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed.
Unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
(6)    Mandatory Redemption. The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7)    Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note, each Holder, by accepting this Note, shall be deemed to have agreed that, if any Gaming Authority requires a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to be registered, licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law, such Holder or Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability in accordance with such Gaming Law and shall cooperate with the requests of any Gaming Authority for information, documentation, and/or testimony. If such Holder or Beneficial Owner (a) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such other period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (b) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, then the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to: (1) require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such other period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of: (a) the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of
A-2-6

suitability during such period, or (b) the receipt of notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or (2) redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to: (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, or (b) the lesser of: (i) the principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes, in either case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to, but not including, the earlier of (A) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (B) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.
Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or Beneficial Owner may incur in connection with its registration, application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability, or any renewal or continuation of the foregoing or compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority. Those costs and expenses will be the obligations of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable. In addition, any Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable, required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws must pay all investigative fees and costs of any Gaming Authority in connection with such license, qualification, finding of suitability or application therefor.
(8)    Repurchase at Option of Holder. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 10 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(9)    Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
A-2-7

(10)    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
This Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or more Global Notes only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of certificates (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, if applicable) required by Article 2 of the Indenture. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Note for one or more Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
A-2-10

(16)    No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
