NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Acknowledgments by Loan Parties. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby acknowledges, stipulates, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the agreements of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to forbear provisionally in the exercise of their respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of the Specified Defaults during the Forbearance Period (as defined below) does not in any manner whatsoever limit any right of any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to insist upon strict compliance by the Loan Parties with this Agreement or any Loan Document during the Forbearance Period.
(b) To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, immediately prior to executing this Agreement nothing has occurred that constitutes or otherwise can be construed or interpreted as a waiver of, or otherwise to limit in any respect, any rights or remedies the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of them have or may have arising as the result of any Event of Default (including any Specified Default) that has occurred or that may occur under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law. The Administrative Agent’s and the Lender’s actions in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to the rights of any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to pursue any and all remedies under the Loan Documents pursuant to applicable law or in equity available to it in its sole discretion upon the termination (whether upon expiration thereof, upon acceleration or otherwise) of this Agreement.
(c) The Revolving Loans outstanding as of the date hereof are in an amount equal to $98,859,000. The Swing Line Loans outstanding as of the date hereof are in an amount equal to $0. The Term Loans outstanding as of the date hereof are in an amount equal to $751,762,500. The L/C Obligations of the Borrower outstanding as of the date hereof are in an amount equal to $1,141,000. The foregoing amounts do not include interest, fees and expenses and other amounts that are chargeable or otherwise reimbursable under the Loan Documents.
(d) All of the assets pledged, assigned, conveyed, mortgaged, hypothecated or transferred to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral Documents (including without limitation the Collateral (including without limitation all proceeds thereof)) are (and shall continue to be) subject to valid and enforceable liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of possessory security interests in respect of certificated Pledged Securities (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) or if required by Gaming Laws of Iowa, the predecessor Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement (the “Predecessor Agent”)) for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as collateral security for all of the Obligations, subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Loan Parties hereby reaffirms and ratifies its prior conveyance to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of a continuing security interest in and lien on the Collateral.
(e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement of any nature whatsoever, whether now existing or hereafter arising, are hereby deemed to be “Obligations” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(f) The Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute “Senior Debt” (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).
(g) Except as expressly modified by this Agreement or as required by Gaming Laws in Nevada, Missouri and Iowa, all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid and enforceable and remain in full force and effect according to their respective terms. Each Grantor, as debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in other similar capacity in which such party grants liens or security interests in its properties or otherwise acts as an accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents, hereto hereby (i) agrees that the Credit Agreement as amended hereby is the Credit Agreement under and for all purposes of the Guaranties and the Collateral Documents and (ii) confirms that
2
the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents as modified hereby are entitled to the benefits of the guarantees set forth in the Guaranties and constitute “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in each of the Guaranties).
(h) The Lenders’ entry into, and covenants to perform in accordance with, this Agreement and the Lenders’ consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby constitute “new value” and “reasonably equivalent value”, as those terms are used in Section 547 and 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), received by the Loan Parties as of the closing of this Agreement in contemporaneous exchange for the Loan Parties’ entry into, and covenants to perform in accordance with, this Agreement and the documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and the Loan Parties’ consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
(i) The bank accounts listed in the April 15, 2008 schedule previously disclosed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (the “Existing Bank Accounts”) are the only bank accounts held or owned by the Loan Parties as of the date hereof and said schedule is accurate and complete. Each Loan Party covenants (i) to not establish any new bank account other than those set forth on said schedule, unless such bank account is established and located in the United States and either pursuant to applicable law or regulations or in the ordinary course of business (such new bank accounts, together with the Existing Bank Accounts, being herein called the “Permitted Bank Accounts”), provided that the Borrower shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent of any account so established within five Business Days of the occurrence thereof, and (ii) to not use amounts held in the Permitted Bank Accounts for any purpose other than (a) ordinary course funding of the operations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, including without limitation capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business, in each case only as permitted by the Loan Documents, (b) payments of interest, fees and expenses under the Credit Agreement and (c) payment of fees and expenses of professionals in connection with any restructuring or reorganization efforts of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties.

(b) the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Specified Defaults; and
(c) the date on which any breach of any of the conditions or agreements provided in this Agreement shall occur; it being agreed that the breach of any such condition or agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind to any Loan Party (all of which each Loan Party waives);
provided that (i) the Revolving Lenders shall have no obligation to make any further Revolving Loans or other extensions of credit to any Loan Party, other than in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(c) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) each Loan Party shall comply with all limitations, restrictions, covenants and prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Loan Documents, (iii) nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies under any agreement containing subordination provisions in favor of any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (including without limitation the right to give any payment blockage notices to any of the trustees in respect of the Subordinated Debt (including without limitation
3
any payment blockage notice based upon any Specified Default)) and (iv) nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Specified Default.
Upon expiration of the Forbearance Period, the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to forbear provisionally in the exercise of their respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of the Specified Defaults during the Forbearance Period shall immediately terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind to any Loan Party (all of which each Loan Party waives). Each of the Loan Parties agrees that any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any and of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law, including without limitation their respective rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults.
Any agreement by any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to extend the Forbearance Period must be set forth in writing and signed by each of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are not obligated to extend the Forbearance Period and may decide to do so (or not to do so) in their sole discretion. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has not made any assurances concerning the extension of the Forbearance Period.

“Base Rate” means for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate”.

Any change in such rate announced by Bank of America shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Rate shall not at any time be less than the Base Floor Rate.

If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “Eurodollar Rate” for such Interest Period shall be the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which deposits in Dollars for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loan being made, continued or converted by Bank of America and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Bank of America’s London Branch to major banks in the London interbank eurodollar market at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Eurodollar Rate shall not at any time be less than the Eurodollar Floor Rate. As used in this Agreement, the “Eurodollar Rate” shall in all cases mean such rate subject to the Eurodollar Floor Rate.
