| SECTION 4.2. | Mandatory Disposition of Notes Pursuant to Gaming Laws. |
Each Holder and beneficial owner, by accepting or otherwise acquiring an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have agreed that if the Gaming Authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries conducts or proposes to conduct gaming activities requires that a Person who is a Holder or beneficial owner must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under the applicable Gaming Laws, such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability within the required time period in accordance with such Gaming Laws.

(2) such other amount as may be required by applicable Gaming Laws or by order of any Gaming Authority.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such Disqualified Holder status or redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such Holder or beneficial owner may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, immediately upon the imposition of a requirement to dispose of Notes by a Gaming Authority, such Person shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred by such Notes or (ii) to receive any interest, dividends or any other distributions or payments with respect to such Notes or any remuneration in any form with respect to such Notes from the Company or the Trustee, except the redemption price.

“A notice of redemption may provide that the optional redemption described in such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events before the Redemption Date. Such notice of conditional redemption will be of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred before the Redemption Date or have been waived by the Company. If any of such events fail to occur and are not waived by the Company, the Company shall be under no obligation to redeem the Notes or pay the Holders any redemption proceeds and the Company’s failure to redeem the Notes shall not be considered a default or an Event of Default. In the event that any of such conditions fail to occur, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing that the conditions precedent to such redemption have failed to occur and the Notes will not be redeemed.”
ARTICLE FIVE
Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants in Article X of the Base Indenture and the following additional covenants, which shall be deemed to be provisions of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes, provided that this Article Five shall not become a part of the terms of any other series of Securities:

(xi) zoning restrictions, easements, licenses, covenants, reservations, restrictions on the use of real property and other minor irregularities of title; and
-11-
(xii) any extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) if any of the Existing Senior Notes are hereafter secured by any Liens on any of the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Initial Liens”), then the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall, substantially concurrently with the granting of such Liens, subject to such Liens having been approved by all applicable Gaming Authorities to the extent the Gaming Laws of the applicable jurisdiction require such approval, grant perfected Liens in the same collateral to secure the Notes (or Guarantees, as the case may be), equally, ratably and on a pari passu basis (the “Pari Passu Liens”). The Pari Passu Liens granted pursuant to this provision shall be (A) granted concurrently with the granting of any such Liens, and (B) granted pursuant to instruments, documents and agreements which are no less favorable to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes than those granted to secure the Existing Senior Notes. In connection with the granting of any such Liens, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall provide to the Trustee (y) policies of title insurance on customary terms and conditions, to the extent that policies of title insurance on the corresponding property are provided to the Holders of the Existing Senior Notes or their respective trustee (and in an insured amount that bears the same proportion to the principal amount of the Notes as the insured amount in the policies provided to the holders of the Existing Senior Notes bears to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Existing Senior Notes), and (z) legal opinions and other assurances as the Trustee may reasonably request; and
(ii) if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors become entitled to the release of any Initial Liens securing the Existing Senior Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees related thereto, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred and remains continuing, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may in their sole discretion request that the collateral agent release any such Lien securing the Notes, the Existing Senior Notes and such other notes and guarantees, and in such circumstances the collateral agent (or the Trustee) shall so release such Initial Liens.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may create, assume or suffer to exist Liens not otherwise permitted as described above, provided that at the time of such incurrence, assumption or sufferance, after giving effect to such Lien, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by such Liens (not including Liens permitted under Section 5.1(a) above) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 5.2(a) below), measured, in each case, at the time the Lien is incurred, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and Liens securing Indebtedness in excess of such amount to the extent such Lien is incurred in connection with an extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness (not to exceed the principal amount of such extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness plus fees, expenses and premium payable thereon) secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1(c) or any previous extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any such Indebtedness (which extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness shall, for the avoidance of doubt, thereafter be included in the calculation of such amount), provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that may at any time secure any of the Existing Senior Notes.
| SECTION 5.2. | Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. |
-12-
(a) Other than as provided in Section 5.2(b) below, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, unless either:
(i) the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions described in clauses (i) through (xii) of Section 5.1(a) above, to create, assume or suffer to exist a Lien on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or
(ii) an amount equal to the greater of the net cash proceeds of such sale or the fair market value of such property (in the good faith opinion of an officer of the Company) is applied within 120 days to the retirement or other discharge of its Funded Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 (a), the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may enter into Sale and Lease-Back Transactions not otherwise permitted as described above, provided that at the time of entering into such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, after giving effect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) above) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 5.2(a) above), measured, in each case, at the time any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is entered into, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and Liens securing Indebtedness in excess of such amount to the extent such Lien is incurred in connection with an extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness (not to exceed the principal amount of such extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness plus fees, expenses and premium payable thereon) secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2(b) or any previous extension, renewal or replacement or refinancing of any such Indebtedness (which extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness shall, for the avoidance of doubt, thereafter be included in the calculation of such amount), provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that may at any time secure any of the Existing Senior Notes.
| SECTION 5.3. | Guarantee. |
(a) The Company shall (i) cause each domestic Subsidiary of the Company, that is a guarantor of Reference Debt to become, other than Nevada Landing Partnership, Elgin Sub, MDDC (and any other future Subsidiary that requires approval from a Gaming Authority in order to execute and deliver a Guarantee), unless and until regulatory approval for their Guarantees is obtained, and MDDHC unless and until regulatory approval for the Guarantee of MDDC is obtained, on the Issue Date or, if such Subsidiary was not a guarantor of Reference Debt as of the Issue Date but thereafter becomes a guarantor of Reference Debt (whether or not such Subsidiary is acquired or created after the Issue Date) and is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (a “Wholly-Owned Subsidiary”), at the time such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary guarantees any Reference Debt, a guarantor of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes by executing this Indenture (directly, by supplemental indenture or by a joinder agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit II) as a Subsidiary Guarantor or by executing a Guarantee pursuant to Section 1102 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Fifth Supplemental Indenture; provided that the provision of a Guarantee by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary after the Issue Date shall be subject to compliance with any applicable Gaming Laws and the Company agrees that (subject to Section 5.3(b)) it shall not have any such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary become a guarantor of Reference Debt unless it is permitted to give such Guarantee under applicable Gaming Laws); and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such Guarantee is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions for bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer and equitable principles.
-13-
(b) The actions set forth in Section 5.3(a) hereof shall be taken within 10 days of the time on which any Person is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to such Section 5.3(a), provided that if such Person is not permitted to give a Guarantee under applicable Gaming Laws, then, such 10-day period shall be extended as long as necessary for the Company to, and the Company shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to, obtain the requisite consents for such Guarantee from the applicable Gaming Authority. If any Subsidiary Guarantor no longer guarantees any Reference Debt at any time, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under its Guarantee, and the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conditions to release such Guarantee have been satisfied.
(c) The Company will not permit any newly acquired or created Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to guarantee any Reference Debt without making effective provision for such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture (unless such guarantee is not permitted under applicable Gaming Laws and the Company is complying with Section 5.3(b) hereof).
| SECTION 5.4. | Reports. |
(a) Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee within 15 calendar days after the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations:
(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and
(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.
(b) In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the Officer’s Certificate described in Section 1004 of the Base Indenture). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or accuracy of the information or the statements contained therein. The Trustee is entitled to assume such compliance and correctness unless an Officer of the Trustee is informed in writing otherwise.

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE
4.625% Senior Note Due September 1, 2026
| 1. | INTEREST |
MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.
The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing on March 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 19, 2016,1 with respect to this Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
| 2. | METHOD OF PAYMENT |
The Company shall pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 15 and August 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, all payments in respect of this Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) must be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder hereof.
| 3. | PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR |
Initially, U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Trustee”) shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any domestically organized Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
| 4. | INDENTURE |
The Company issued the Notes under an indenture dated as of March 22, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 19, 2016 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.
The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may issue Additional Notes in an unlimited principal amount. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as a single class of Notes under
| 1 | With respect to Initial Notes issued on the Closing Date. |
I-5
the Indenture. The Subsidiary Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
| 5. | OPTIONAL REDEMPTION; MANDATORY DISPOSITION PURSUANT TO GAMING LAWS |
The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:
| • | 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or |
| • | as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points, |
plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date on the Notes to be redeemed. The Notes are redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 1, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the Notes to be redeemed.
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date:
| • | the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or |
| • | if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. |
The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated by an Independent Investment Banker on the third Business Day preceding the preceding the Redemption Date or, in the case of a satisfaction and discharge or a defeasance, on the third Business Day prior to the date on which the Company deposits the amount required under this Fifth Supplemental Indenture most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Maturity Date.
I-6
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such securities (“Remaining Life”).
“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City selected by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
The rights of each Holder or beneficial owner of Notes are subject to the Gaming Laws and requirements of the Gaming Authorities. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, if any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes 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 beneficial owner’s Notes within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Company’s election or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such Gaming Authority, or (ii) to redeem such Notes, which Redemption Date may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the Gaming Authority, at a redemption price equal to (a) the lesser of (1) the Holder’s cost, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply and (2) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date and the date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply or (b) such other amount as may be required by applicable Gaming Laws or by order of any Gaming Authority. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such failure of compliance or redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such Holder or beneficial owner may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or finding of suitability. Immediately upon the imposition of a requirement to dispose of the Notes by a Gaming Authority, such Holder or beneficial owner shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred by the Notes, or (ii) to receive any remuneration in any form with respect to the Notes from the Company or the Trustee, except the redemption price.
I-7
| 6. | NOTICES OF REDEMPTION |
Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 (unless a shorter notice is acceptable to the Trustee) days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address all in accordance with the Indenture. Any notice to Holders of Notes of a redemption will state, among other things, the redemption price (or how the redemption price will be calculated if not a fixed amount or subject to change) and date. A notice of redemption may provide that the optional redemption described in such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events before the Redemption Date. Such notice of conditional redemption will be of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred before the Redemption Date or have been waived the Company. If any of such events fail to occur and are not waived by the Company, the Company shall be under no obligation to redeem the Notes or pay the Holders any redemption proceeds and the Company’s failure to redeem the Notes shall not be considered a default or an Event of Default. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time (other than pursuant to paragraph 5 above) the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, consistent with the procedures of DTC. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
| 7. | DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE |
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.
| 8. | PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS |
The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
| 9. | UNCLAIMED MONEY |
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request, or if then held by the Company or a domestic Subsidiary, shall be discharged from such trust (unless an abandoned property law designates another Person for payment thereof). After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company or such permitted Subsidiary as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
| 10. | DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE |
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes if, among other
I-8
things, the Company deposits with the Trustee funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.
| 11. | AMENDMENT, WAIVER |
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes 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 Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions, with certain exceptions as therein provided, permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. The Indenture also permits certain other amendments, modifications or waivers thereof only with the consent of all affected Holders of the Notes, while certain other amendments or modifications may be made without the consent of any Holders of Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note 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 Note. The right of any Holder of a Note (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 obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of Notes as of a date set by the Company and identified by the Trustee in a notice furnished to Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
| 12. | DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES |
Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and, if given by the Holders, to the Trustee, specifying the respective Events of Default, and the same shall become immediately due and payable.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.
| 13. | TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY |
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
I-9
| 14. | NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS |
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 Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
| 15. | GOVERNING LAW |
THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
| 16. | AUTHENTICATION |
This Note endorsed hereon shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

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