ARTICLE 6

6.1 Issuer’s Notes Register.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain one or more notes register on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the Notes and all other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of any Issuer Related Party and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the notes register shall be made in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, other than for purposes of calculating interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Notes shall be deemed to be issued and purchased upon the disbursement of the proceeds to the Issuer from such issuance and sale of Notes, in accordance with Section 2.1.

6.2 Statements.

The Administrative Agent shall render to the Issuer each month a statement setting forth the balance in the Issuer’s notes register maintained by the Administrative Agent for the Issuer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by the Administrative

37

Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by the Issuer Related Parties and conclusively binding upon the Issuer Related Parties as an account stated except to the extent that the Administrative Agent receives a written notice from the Issuer of any specific exceptions of the Issuer thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement has been received by the Issuer. Until such time as the Administrative Agent shall have rendered to the Issuer a written statement as provided above, the balance in the Issuer’s notes register shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers by the Issuer Related Parties.

6.3 Payments.

(a) All Obligations shall be payable to the account designated by the Administrative Agent or such other place as the Administrative Agent may designate from time to time. The Issuer will make each payment under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s account. All payments shall be made by the Issuer without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to the Agent and/or the Note Purchasers. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any Issuer Related Party or for the account of any Issuer Related Party (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from any Issuer Related Party pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements; second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Note Purchasers from any Issuer Related Party pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements; third, to pay interest due in respect of the Notes; fourth, to pay principal due in respect of the Notes to each Note Purchaser, ratably (in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each Note Purchaser to the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes held by all Note Purchasers); fifth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent determines; and sixth, in accordance with the orders of the Bankruptcy Court and applicable law.

(b) If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Note Purchaser is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Note Purchaser. The Issuer Related Parties shall be liable to pay to the Administrative Agent, and do hereby indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.3(b) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Administrative Agent or any Note Purchaser in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.3(b) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

38

(c) Whenever any payment to be made under any Financing Agreement shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

6.4 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.4(g), any and all payments to any Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent by or on account of any of the Obligations hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, duties, fees, assessments, withholdings or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Note Purchaser and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized and (B) any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to a Note Purchaser with respect to payments under the Financing Agreements under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the date hereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Transferee, the date of the Transfer and Acceptance) applicable to such Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the date hereof in the case of an original Note Purchaser (or the date of such Transfer and Acceptance in the case of an Eligible Transferee) and (ii) in the case of each Note Purchaser, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, branch profit taxes imposed on it, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes as a result of a present or former connection between such Note Purchaser and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non- excluded taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder to any Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent then (i) except as provided in Section 6.4(g), the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.4), such Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Issuer Related Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Issuer Related Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance

39

with applicable law and (iv) the relevant Issuer Related Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(c) In addition, each Issuer Related Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements (collectively, “Other Taxes”), grossed up for any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction with respect to payments under this Section 6.4(c).

(d) Except as provided in Section 6.4(g), each Issuer Related Party shall indemnify each Note Purchaser and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 6.4) paid by such Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Note Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Note Purchaser, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Issuer Related Party, such Issuer Related Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements of any Issuer Related Party hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, the agreements and obligations of such Issuer Related Party contained in this Section 6.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Any Foreign Note Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) one of the following documents evidencing that it is entitled to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, at or prior to the Closing Date, on the date of a Transfer and Acceptance or at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by the recipient) (but only if such Foreign Note Purchaser is legally entitled to do so): (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) claiming a complete exemption from withholding tax under an income tax treaty; (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) claiming exemption from

40

withholding because the income is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business; (iii) in the case of a Foreign Note Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate of the Note Purchaser to the effect that such Note Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption; or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from United States withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Issuer to determine that no withholding or deduction is required to be made. In addition, each Foreign Note Purchaser agrees that it will deliver upon the Issuer’s request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Foreign Note Purchaser to a continued exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Obligation. To the extent required by applicable law, each Note Purchaser that is not a Foreign Note Purchaser shall, at or prior to the Closing Date, on the date of a Transfer and Acceptance or at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent (but only if such Note Purchaser is legally entitled to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuer with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or successor forms) establishing that such Note Purchaser is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, (x) the Issuer shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Note Purchaser to the extent that such Note Purchaser has not provided to the Issuer U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Issuer shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 6.4 (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided) to indemnify or otherwise pay such Note Purchaser in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if such Note Purchaser has not provided to the Issuer the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Issuer pursuant to this Section 6.4 or to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes.

(h) Any Note Purchaser claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office and to take any other action if such change or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue pursuant to Section 6.4 and would not, in the sole determination of such

41

Note Purchaser, be otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect to such Note Purchaser.

(i) If the Administrative Agent or any Note Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an Issuer Related Party or with respect to which an Issuer Related Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.4, it shall pay over such refund to the applicable Issuer Related Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Issuer Related Party under this Section 6.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out- of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Note Purchaser, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that each Issuer Related Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Note Purchaser, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Issuer Related Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Note Purchaser, as applicable, in the event the Administrative Agent or such Note Purchaser is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 6.4 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Note Purchaser to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Issuer Related Party or any other Person.

6.5 [Intentionally Omitted].

6.6 Use of Proceeds.

All proceeds of the Notes shall be deposited into a segregated trust account of the Issuer (the “DIP Proceeds Account”) held with the Administrative Agent and any withdrawals from the DIP Proceeds Account shall be used only in accordance with this Section 6.6 as certified in a Withdrawal Certificate to be delivered to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to each withdrawal. The Issuer shall use the proceeds of the Notes hereunder Consistent with Budget, only (a) to pay any costs, fees and expenses (including fees of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers) associated with this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and (b) for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Issuer Related Parties not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with and only as explicitly set forth on the Use of Proceeds Schedule. None of the proceeds of the Notes, the Carve-Out or the Collateral will be used, directly or indirectly, for (i) payments on claims pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(3)(D); (ii) the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause the Notes to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended; (iii) the investigation (including discovery proceedings), initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation against the Note Purchasers, the Agent or the Pre-Petition Second Lien Parties; or (iv) making any adequate protection payments to or for the benefit of the Prepetition Agent or the Prepetition First Lien Lenders pursuant to the Final Cash Collateral Order or otherwise.

42

6.7 Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the Note Purchasers: (a) the purchase of the Notes shall be made by the Note Purchasers based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and (b) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of the Note Purchasers in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Note Purchasers entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.

6.8 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Note Purchaser (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Note Purchaser) shall obtain from any Issuer Related Party payment of any principal of or interest on any Note purchased by it or any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Note Purchaser shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Notes or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by any Issuer Related Party to such Note Purchaser than the percentage thereof received by any other Note Purchaser, it shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Note Purchasers, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Note Purchasers a participation in the Notes or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Note Purchasers (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Note Purchasers shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Note Purchaser in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by the Note Purchasers. To such end all Note Purchasers shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(b) Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the UCC and other applicable Law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Issuer Related Party, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable Law. Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, all rights, remedies and powers granted to the Agent and the Note

76

Purchasers hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements, the UCC or other applicable Law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Issuer Related Party of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Subject to Sections 11.2(a) and 13 hereof, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Note Purchasers shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Issuer Related Party to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

(c) Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon the direction of the Required Note Purchasers, upon notice to the Issuer, accelerate the payment of all Obligations and the Notes and demand immediate payment thereof to the Administrative Agent for itself and the benefit of the Note Purchasers.

(d) Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon the direction of the Required Note Purchasers (i) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) require any Issuer Related Party, at the Issuer’s expense, to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent, (iii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Administrative Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Issuer Related Party, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by the Issuer Related Parties and/or (vi) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by the Administrative Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by the Administrative Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Issuer designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and the Issuer Related Parties waive any other notice.

77

way of prejudgment remedy, each Issuer Related Party waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.

(e) Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, at any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, in their discretion, enforce the rights of any Issuer Related Party against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other Receivables. Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, and shall upon the direction of the Required Note Purchasers, at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may direct any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Receivables directly to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Note Purchasers shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of the Note Purchasers. Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, at any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and are payable directly and only to the Collateral Agent and the Issuer Related Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as the Administrative Agent may require. Subject to Section 11.2(a) hereof, in the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

(f) To the extent that applicable Law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any Note Purchaser to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Issuer Related Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Note Purchaser (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or

The Issuer Related Parties shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Note Purchasers for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

In any such litigation, the Agent and the Note Purchasers shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Issuer Related Party: (i) certifies that neither the Agent, any Note Purchaser nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of the Agent or any Note Purchaser has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Agent and/or the Note Purchasers would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement, the DIP Order or any of the other Financing Agreements and (ii) acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, and consenting to the DIP Order, the Agent and the Note Purchasers are

No notice to or demand on any Issuer Related Party which the Agent or any Note Purchaser may elect to give shall entitle such Issuer Related Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(i) reduce the interest rate or any fees or extend the time of payment of principal or interest (other than an extension of any Note maturity date agreed to in writing by the Required Note Purchasers in accordance with Section 2.1(c) hereof) or reduce the principal amount of any Note or other Obligations, in each case without the consent of each Note Purchaser directly affected thereby,

(ii) increase the Commitment of any Note Purchaser over the amount thereof then in effect or provided hereunder, or increase a Note Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share, in each case, without the consent of the Note Purchaser directly affected thereby,

Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Note Purchaser of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which the Agent and/or any Note Purchaser would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.3(a) above, if the Issuer shall receive a notice from any applicable Governmental Authority that any Note Purchaser is no longer qualified or suitable to purchase Notes from the Issuer under the applicable Gaming Laws (and such Note Purchaser is notified by the Issuer and the Agent in writing of such disqualification), including because such Note Purchaser has been denied a license, qualification or finding of suitability or has failed to deliver information required under the applicable Gaming Laws (in either case, such Note Purchaser being referred to herein as a “Defaulting Note Purchaser”), then the Issuer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to replace such Defaulting Note Purchaser. Upon the exercise by the Issuer of such right, such Defaulting Note Purchaser shall have the obligation, to (i) sell, assign and transfer to an Eligible Transferee, the Notes of such Defaulting Note Purchaser and all rights and interests of such Defaulting Note Purchaser pursuant thereto and (ii) transfer to any Note Purchaser that is (or is an affiliate of) a party to the Backstop Agreement having a backstop commitment thereunder, the Commitment of such Defaulting Note Purchaser and all rights and interests of such Defaulting Note Purchaser pursuant thereto.

Such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the terms of a Transfer and Acceptance (whether or not executed by the Defaulting Note Purchaser), except that on the date of such purchase and sale, such Eligible Transferee, shall pay to the Defaulting Note

83

Purchaser (except as such Defaulting Note Purchaser may otherwise agree) the amount equal to: (i) the principal amount outstanding of the Notes and all of the other Obligations held by the Defaulting Note Purchaser outstanding as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to the Defaulting Note Purchaser to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Defaulting Note Purchaser be deemed entitled to any early termination fee). Such purchase and sale shall be effective on the date of the payment of such amount to the Defaulting Note Purchaser.

(d) The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, in addition to the consent of the Note Purchasers otherwise required by this Section 12.3.

12.4 Waiver of Counterclaims.

Each Issuer Related Party waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the DIP Order, the other Financing Agreements, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

12.5 Indemnification.

Each Issuer Related Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Agent, each Note Purchaser (in such capacity) and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives, controlling persons, advisors and counsel and their respective Affiliates (each such person being an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including attorneys’, agents’ and professional advisors’ fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, the DIP Order, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Financing Agreements or the DIP Order or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel except that the Issuer Related Parties shall not have any obligation under this Section 12.5 to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a matter covered hereby to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (but without limiting the obligations of the Issuer Related Parties as to any other Indemnitee). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.5 may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Issuer Related Parties shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable Law to the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section 12.5. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Issuer Related Party shall assert, and each Issuer Related Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability for

84

special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, the DIP Order, any of the other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, the DIP Order or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. All amounts due under this Section 12.5 shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the

85

holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Note Purchasers, and neither the Issuer nor any other Debtor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

13.2 Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters that are vague or not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the DIP Order or any other Financing Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Note Purchasers or all Note Purchasers as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions to such Agent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Note Purchasers.

The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 13.7) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Note Purchasers to the extent provided for herein; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Note Purchasers.

(b) Except with the prior written consent of Required Note Purchasers, no Note Purchaser may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Notes, or other Obligations, as against any Issuer Related Party or any of the Collateral or other property of any Issuer Related Party.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Agent.

13.6 Non-Reliance on the Agent and Other Note Purchasers.

Each Note Purchaser agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or other Note Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Issuer Related Parties and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Note Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Issuer Related Party of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Issuer Related Party.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Note Purchasers by the Agent or deemed requested by the Note Purchasers hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Note Purchaser with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Issuer Related Party that may come into the possession of the Agent.

87

13.7 Failure to Act.

Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder or to advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights hereunder and under any other agreements or documents to which it is a party unless it shall receive further assurances to its reasonable satisfaction from the Note Purchasers of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

13.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements.

Each Note Purchaser authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

13.9 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by the Note Purchasers.

By signing this Agreement, each Note Purchaser:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Note Purchaser, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report prepared or received by the Administrative Agent (each field audit or examination report being referred to herein as a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”), appraisals with respect to the Collateral and financial statements with respect to the Issuer Related Parties and their respective Subsidiaries received by the Administrative Agent;

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 14.5 hereof, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.

88

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any Note Purchaser may elect in writing not to receive any of the Reports. If any Note Purchaser makes such an election, the Administrative Agent will refrain from delivering the Reports to such Note Purchaser until and unless such Note Purchaser subsequently requests, in writing, to be provided with the Reports.

13.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Note Purchasers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at their option and in their discretion to release any security interest in or lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of in full in cash all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 14.1 below, or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if any Issuer Related Party certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 10.7 hereof (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which any Issuer Related Party did not own an interest at the time the security interest or lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period of less than $500,000 as certified by the Issuer to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in writing, and to the extent the Collateral Agent may release its security interest in and lien upon any such Collateral pursuant to the sale or other disposition thereof, such sale or other disposition shall be deemed consented to by the Note Purchasers, or (v) if required or permitted under the terms of any of the other Financing Agreements, or (vi) approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all Note Purchasers. Except as provided above, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent will not release any security interest in or lien upon, any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Note Purchasers. Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent at any time, the Note Purchasers will promptly confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10.

(b) Without in any manner limiting the Administrative Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Note Purchasers, each Note Purchaser agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under this Section 13.10. The Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Note Purchasers to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the security interest or liens granted to the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided, that, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such security interest or liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest or lien upon (or obligations of any Issuer Related Party in respect of) any of the other the Collateral.

89

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Note Purchaser or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Issuer Related Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements.

13.11 Agency for Perfection.

Each Note Purchaser hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and each other Note Purchaser as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral of the Collateral Agent in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Note Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent as secured party. Should any Note Purchaser obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Note Purchaser shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

13.12 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Note Purchasers and the Issuer; provided that if the Administrative Agent resigns, it shall also resign as the Collateral Agent. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Note Purchasers shall appoint a successor agent for the Note Purchasers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Note Purchasers and the Issuer, a successor agent but no Note Purchaser shall be required to accept such appointment. Upon the acceptance by a Person as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the terms “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” as used herein and in the other Financing Agreements shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 13.12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective, the retiring Agent shall be

discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements and the Note Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Note Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

13.13 Other Agent Designations.

The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time determine that a Note Purchaser may, in addition, be a “Co-Administrative Agent,” “Syndication Agent,” “Documentation Agent,” “Collateral Agent” or similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Note Purchaser to have it so identified for purposes of this Agreement. Any such designation shall be effective upon written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Issuer of any such designation. Any Note Purchaser that is so designated as a Co-Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation by the Administrative Agent shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements other than those applicable to all Note Purchasers as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Note Purchasers so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Note Purchaser and no Note Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied, nor shall any Note Purchaser rely, on a Note Purchaser so identified as a Co-Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, the Collateral Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

13.14 Note Purchase Agreement Controls.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other Financing Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control; provided, however, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement and the DIP Order, the terms of the DIP Order shall govern and control.

TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Term.

(a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall mature with all Obligations to be paid and satisfied in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date.

Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to the bank account of the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, designate in writing to the Issuer for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next

91

(b) No termination of the Commitments, this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge any Issuer Related Party of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and like Obligations which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Financing Agreements) have been paid in full in cash, and the Collateral Agent’s continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Note Purchasers hereunder, under the other Financing Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Accordingly, each Issuer Related Party waives any rights it may have under the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to send such termination statements to the Issuer Related Parties, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all such Obligations paid in full in cash.

14.5 Confidentiality.

(a) The Agent and each Note Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any Issuer Related Party pursuant to this Agreement which is clearly and conspicuously marked as confidential at the time such information is furnished by such Issuer Related Party to the Administrative Agent or such Note Purchaser, as applicable, provided, that, nothing contained herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or court order, (ii) to bank examiners and other regulators, auditors and/or accountants, in connection with any litigation to which the Agent, such Note Purchaser is a party, (iii) to any Note Purchaser or Participant (or prospective Note Purchaser or Participant) or to any Affiliate of any Note Purchaser so long as such Note Purchaser, Participant (or prospective Note Purchaser or Participant) or Affiliate shall have been instructed to treat such information as confidential in accordance with this Section 14.5, or (iv) to counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Note Purchaser or Participant (or prospective Note Purchaser or Participant).

(b) In the event that the Agent or any Note Purchaser receives a request or demand to disclose any confidential information pursuant to any subpoena or court order, the Agent or such Note Purchaser, as the case may be, agrees (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent the Agent or such Note Purchaser determines that it will not create any risk of liability to the Agent or such Note Purchaser, the Agent or such Note Purchaser will promptly notify the Issuer of such request so that the Issuer may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief or remedy and (ii) if disclosure of such information is required, disclose such information and, subject to reimbursement by the Issuer of the Agent’s or such Note Purchaser’s expenses, cooperate with the Issuer in the reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the disclosed information which the Issuer so designates, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent the Agent, such Note Purchaser determines that it will not create any risk of liability to the Agent or such Note Purchaser.

94

In no event shall this Section 14.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, any of the other Financing Agreements or applicable Law be deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that has been or is made public by any Issuer Related Party or any third party or otherwise becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation hereof, (ii) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that was or becomes available to the Agent or any Note Purchaser (or any Affiliate of any Note Purchaser) on a non-confidential basis from a person other than an Issuer Related Party or (iii) to require the Agent or any Note Purchaser to return any materials furnished by an Issuer Related Party to the Agent or a Note Purchaser or prevent the Agent or a Note Purchaser from responding to routine informational requests in accordance with the Code of Ethics for the Exchange of Credit Information promulgated by The Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Associates or other applicable industry standards relating to the exchange of credit information. The obligations of the Agent, the Note Purchasers under this Section 14.5 shall supersede and replace the obligations of the Agent, the Note Purchasers under any confidentiality letter signed prior to the date hereof or any other arrangements concerning the confidentiality of information provided by any Issuer Related Party to the Agent or any Note Purchaser. In addition, the Agent and the Note Purchasers may disclose information relating to the Notes Facility to Gold Sheets and other publications, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications and that the Agent may otherwise use the corporate name and logo of the Issuer Related Parties or deal terms in “tombstones” or other advertisements, public statements or marketing materials.

The Issuer Related Parties hereby acknowledge that (a) the Agent may make available to the Note Purchasers materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Issuer Related Parties hereunder (collectively, “Company Materials”) by posting the Company Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Note Purchasers may be “public-side” Note Purchasers (i.e., Note Purchasers that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Issuer or its securities) (each, a “Public Note Purchaser”). The Issuer Related Parties, each, hereby agree that it will identify that portion of the Company Materials that may be distributed to the Public Note Purchasers and that (w) all such Company Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Company Materials “PUBLIC,” the Issuer Related Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Required Note Purchasers and the Note Purchasers to treat such Company Materials as not containing any material nonpublic information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Issuer Related Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws; (y) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Agent and the Required Note Purchasers shall be entitled to treat any Company Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

14.6 Successors.

This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent, the Note Purchasers, the Issuer Related Parties and their respective successors and

95

assigns, except that none of the Issuer Related Parties may assign their rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers. Any such purported assignment without such express prior written consent shall be void. No Note Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement except as provided in Section 14.7 below. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of the Issuer Related Parties, the Agent and the Note Purchasers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements.

14.7 Assignments; Participations. Transfer, Registration and Substitution of Notes; Successors, Assigns and Transfers.

(a) Transfer by the Note Purchasers. Each Note Purchaser may transfer to one or more other Eligible Transferees, or with the consent of the Issuer, any entity eligible to become a Note Purchaser under the rules promulgated under any Gaming Authority, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Notes owing to it); provided, that:

(i) except in the case of a transfer to a Person that, immediately prior to such transfer, was a Note Purchaser or an Affiliate of a Note Purchaser, or a transfer of all of a Note Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Notes owing to the transferring Note Purchaser being transferred pursuant to each such transfer (determined as of the date of the Transfer and Acceptance with respect to such transfer) shall in no event be less than $500,000 (except as otherwise agreed by the Issuer and the Administrative Agent);

(ii) the Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall receive notice of such transfer, and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such transfer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and

(iii) the parties to each such transfer shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a Transfer and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Note Purchaser, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Details Form.

Upon such consent, execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Transfer and Acceptance, (x) the transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been transferred to it pursuant to such Transfer and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Note Purchaser hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements and (y) the Note Purchaser transferor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been transferred by it pursuant to such Transfer and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the

96

case of a Transfer and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a transferring Note Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Note Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto). For the avoidance of doubt, a Note Purchaser’s Commitment may not be assigned.

(b) Undertaking of Transferor and Transferee. By executing and delivering a Transfer and Acceptance, the Note Purchaser transferor thereunder and the transferee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Transfer and Acceptance, such transferring Note Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such transferring Note Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Issuer or the performance or observance by the Issuer of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such transferee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements of the Issuer and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Transfer and Acceptance; (iv) such transferee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such transferring Note Purchaser or any other Note Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such transferee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Financing Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vi) such transferee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are required to be performed by it as a Note Purchaser; (vii) such transferee has provided the Issuer and the Administrative Agent with the forms and documents with respect to such transferee referred to in Section 6.4(g); and (viii) such transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name, as set forth below in paragraph (c), shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE 9 hereof.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.3 a copy of each Transfer and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Note Purchasers and the principal amount of the Notes (and any stated interest thereon) held by each Note Purchaser from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Issuer, the Agent and the Note Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Note Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. No transfer shall be effective until it is recorded in the Register pursuant to this Section 14.7. The Register shall be available for

97

inspection by the Issuer or any Note Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Transfer and Acceptance. Upon its receipt of a Transfer and Acceptance executed by a transferring Note Purchaser and a transferee and the Note or Notes, or the portion of thereof, being surrendered for transfer, together with the fee referred to in Section 14.7(a), the Administrative Agent shall, if such Transfer and Acceptance has been completed (i) accept such Transfer and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Issuer and request that the Issuer, at its own expense (except as provided below), execute and deliver one or more new Notes (as requested by the Note Purchaser thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Notes, or portions thereof. Each such new Note shall be payable to the Person as such Note Purchaser may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which such interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note, or portion thereof, or dated the date of the surrendered Note, or portion thereof, if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Issuer may require payment by the transferee of any such Note, or portion thereof, of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax, transfer tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes, or portions thereof.

(e) Disclosure of Information. Any Note Purchaser may, in connection with any transfer or proposed transfer pursuant to this Section 14.7, disclose to the transferee or proposed transferee, any information relating to the Issuer furnished to such Note Purchaser by or on behalf of the Issuer; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the transferee or proposed transferee shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information received by it from the Note Purchasers in accordance with Section 14.5.

(f) Other Pledges. Anything in this Section 14.7 to the contrary notwithstanding, each Note Purchaser shall be permitted to pledge all or any part of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Notes to any trustee for the benefit of the Note Purchasers of such Note Purchaser’s securities.

98

or mutilation of any Note, and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of such Note Purchaser’s agreement of indemnity with respect thereto, or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Issuer at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

The Issuer Related Parties are hereby advised that the purchase of Notes is subject to satisfactory results of such verification.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of such other Financing Agreements. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of any such agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.

14.11 Legend.

A copy of this Agreement shall be filed with the secretary of the Issuer and kept with the records of the Issuer.

ARTICLE 15

GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS

15.1 The Guaranty.

In order to induce the Agent and the Note Purchasers to enter into this Agreement with the Issuer Related Parties, including without limitation, the Issuer, or any of its Subsidiaries and to extend credit hereunder, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Guarantors from the Notes purchased hereunder, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Agent and the Note Purchasers as follows: each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all indebtedness of the Issuer to the Administrative Agent, and to the Note Purchasers. If any or all of the indebtedness of the Issuer to the Administrative Agent and to the Note Purchasers becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Note Purchasers, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent, or the Note Purchasers in collecting any of the indebtedness. The word “indebtedness” is used in this Section 15.1 in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Issuer, including all Obligations, arising in connection with this Agreement, the Notes, the DIP Order or the other Financing Agreements, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or

100

involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Issuer may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. The Guaranty set forth in this Section 15.1 is a guaranty of timely payment and not of collection.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Financing Agreements, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law (whether federal or state law and including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy Code).

15.2 Bankruptcy.

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Issuer or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent, or any Note Purchaser, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Issuer or a Guarantor, the estate of the Issuer or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

15.3 Nature of Liability.

The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other Guaranty of the indebtedness of the Issuer whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Issuer or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other Guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of the Issuer, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other Guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Issuer, (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent, or any Note Purchasers on the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent, or such repay the Issuer pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, or (f) any event or consequence or other aspect of the Case(s) and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

101

15.4 Independent Obligation.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or the Issuer, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Issuer and whether or not any other Guarantor or the Issuer is joined in any such action or actions.

15.5 Authorization.

Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent, and each Note Purchaser, subject to Section 15.8 hereof, without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of the Guaranty or the indebtedness and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Issuer or other obligors and (e) take any action in the Cases that is authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise permitted under the Financing Agreements.

15.6 Reliance.

It is not necessary for Agent, or the Note Purchasers to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Issuer or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.7 Waiver.

(a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent, or any Note Purchaser to (i) proceed against the Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, or any Note Purchaser’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the indebtedness, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Issuer other than payment in full of the indebtedness. The Administrative Agent or any of the Note Purchasers, subject to Section 15.8 hereof, may, at their election, exercise any right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any Note Purchaser may have against the Issuer or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any

102

Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness has been paid. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and each of the Note Purchasers, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantors against the Issuer or any other party.

(b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Issuer’s financial condition and assets, the Cases, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Note Purchaser shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Note Purchasers against the Issuer or any other Guarantor of the indebtedness of the Issuer owing to the Note Purchasers (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Guaranty until such time as the Notes purchased hereunder and the other Obligations shall have been repaid in full. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, or the Note Purchasers now has or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other Guarantor of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Issuer and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Note Purchasers to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Issuer until such time as the Notes purchased hereunder and the other Obligations shall have been repaid in full.

15.8 Limitation on Enforcement.

The Note Purchasers agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Note Purchasers and that no Note Purchaser shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Note Purchasers under the terms of this Agreement.

15.9 Confirmation of Payment.

The Administrative Agent and the Note Purchasers will, upon request after payment in cash in full of the indebtedness and obligations which are the subject of the Guaranty, confirm to

103

the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and obligations have been paid.

ARTICLE 16

LIQUOR AND GAMING LAWS

16.1 Application of Liquor Laws and Gaming Laws.

(a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are subject to laws involving the sale or distribution of liquor (the “Liquor Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Agent and the Note Purchasers acknowledges that (i) it is subject to being called forward by the Governmental Authorities enforcing the Liquor Laws, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, including with respect to the Collateral and the ownership and operation of Gaming Facilities, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Governmental Authorities.

(b) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are subject to Gaming Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Agent and the Note Purchasers acknowledges that if the Issuer receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that a Note Purchaser has been found disqualified to purchase Notes from the Issuer under applicable Gaming Laws (a “Disqualification Finding”), then the Issuer shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of the Disqualification Finding, either (i) replace such Note Purchaser with a Person that is an Eligible Transferee or (ii) prepay the portion of the Notes (and other Obligations as set forth in the proviso below) held by or owed to or for the benefit of such disqualified Note Purchaser, even where a Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that, concurrently with such replacement or prepayment (as applicable), all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other Obligations then payable or owed to or for the benefit of such disqualified Note Purchaser shall be paid in full. Notice to such disqualified Note Purchaser and the Agent shall be given by the Issuer within three (3) days of receipt of notice of such Disqualification Finding from the applicable Gaming Authority, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or prepayment is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the disqualified Note Purchaser shall cooperate with the Issuer in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice. Commencing on the date the Gaming Authority serves notice of its Disqualification Finding upon the Issuer, and to the extent (but only to the extent) required by applicable Gaming Laws, (A) such Note Purchaser shall no longer receive any interest payment on the Notes, (B) such Note Purchaser shall no longer exercise, directly or indirectly, any right conferred by the Notes other than the repayment thereof, and (C) such Note Purchaser shall not receive any remuneration in any form from the Issuer for services or otherwise in respect of the Notes.

104

(c) Each of the Agent and the Note Purchasers agrees to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities in connection with the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities relating to the Issuer Related Parties or to the Financing Agreements.

(d) If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements it shall become necessary, or in the opinion of the Required Note Purchasers advisable, for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Agent and the Note Purchasers to become licensed under any Gaming Law as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Financing Agreements or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Agent and the Note Purchasers under the Financing Agreements, the Issuer hereby agrees to grant such license or licenses and to execute such further documents as may be required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.
