EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower will execute in favor of Lender the Loan Documents. Upon execution of the Loan Documents, the Prior Note shall be returned to Borrower marked cancelled. 3. PURPOSE OF LOAN. Borrower represents that it is negotiating an agreement to acquire two casinos and related assets and permission to license a third casino in the Czech Republic (the "Czech Transaction"), is exploring an opportunity to acquire a casino in Zaragoza, Spain and a new license for a downtown casino (the "Zaragoza Transaction"), is exploring an opportunity to enter into a management agreement to operate the gambling operation of an ocean going vessel off of the Florida Coast (the "Florida Transaction"); and is negotiating an agreement to invest in and manage two separate facilities, a casino and a slot machine facility, in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (the "Bishkek Transaction"). The Czech Transaction, the Zaragoza Transaction, the Bishkek Transaction and the Florida Transaction are referred to herein collectively as the "Transaction(s)". All agreements related to such Transactions must be approved in writing by Lender as to form and content. Copies of agreements or term sheets related thereto are attached hereto as Exhibits D, E, F and G respectively. Attachment hereto shall not constitute approval by the Lender of these documents. Subject to this Agreement, proceeds of this loan are to be used (a) to fund an escrow account established pursuant to agreements executed with respect to the Czech Transaction ($525,000), (b) the purchase price of the Fuentes Stock, as defined herein, the purchase price of collateral for a letter of credit and certain operating expenses pursuant to agreements executed with respect to the Zaragoza Transaction ($1,968,074.24), (c) the purchase price, operating expenses and cage funds pursuant to agreements executed with respect to the Florida Transaction ($450,000), and (d) the refurbishing and funding of the casino and the refurbishing, funding and purchase of slot machines as to the "slot room" with respect to the Bishkek Transaction ($450,000).

The Borrower represents to Lender that it intends to issue debt and equity instruments, in form and substance acceptable to Lender if Lender is a member of the investor group (including through conversion as set forth herein), in the approximate total sum of up to $16,000,000, the proceeds of which are contemplated to be used to complete the Czech Transaction, and for other needs of Borrower, as set forth in Exhibit "H" (the "New Issue"). Attachment hereto does not constitute approval by Lender of the business plan. At the option of Lender, Lender may (i) require immediate repayment of all or a portion of sums due under the Note and Loan Documents pursuant to the terms thereof from the first dollars received by Borrower from the New Issue, and/or (ii) convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal sum due Lender under the Note to indebtedness and equity, on a dollar for dollar basis, issued pursuant to the New Issue. In the event of such conversion, Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of the New Issue, on a pari passu basis with the other investors in the New Issue. In the event of such a conversion, the Warrants shall be converted to the terms of the warrants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender included within the New Issue. The number of shares of New Issue warrants issued in the event of conversion shall be the greater of (a) Warrants issued to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as to such sums converted, or (b) warrants convertible into shares of Common Stock which an investor in the New Issue who invests the converted sum would receive. Should the New Issue occur, Borrower shall provide written notice thereof and Holder shall, not less than (20) twenty days prior to the date the New Issue must be closed, be provided notice and all relevant documents comprising the New Issue. Holder shall, not less than five days prior to the New Issue closing date notify the Borrower if it desires to convert the Note or require repayment of the Note from the proceeds of the New Issue. In the event Holder makes no election, the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of conversion, all unpaid interest and other sums due under the Note, other than unpaid converted principal, shall be paid in full in cash on the date conversion occurs. The right to convert shall expire when all principal due pursuant to the Note is paid in full in conformance with the Loan Documents. Borrower may not prepay the principal obligation arising under the Note without the written consent of Holder. There shall be no penalty for authorized prepayment of the Note. Nothing herein shall excuse the Borrower from any payment or other obligations required under the terms of the Note or be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy granted Lender in the Loan Documents, including acceleration. A "Business Day" is any day that commercial banks are permitted to be open for business in New York City, New York, U.S.A. 5. AGREEMENT TO ADVANCE.

A Certificate of the President of Borrower ("Certificate of Borrower") in a form acceptable to Lender shall be delivered to Lender wherein Borrower certifies as follows: (i) That all documents and agreements requisite to such an advance, including as to the Transaction for which such advance is to be made, have been executed (or are ready for execution) and that such sum is payable by Borrower. (ii) That Borrower and any present or future, wholly or partially owned subsidiary, direct or indirect, and/or affiliate (collectively the "Affiliate" or the "Affiliates") have complied with all documents and agreements related to such an advance, including the Loan Documents and documents related to such Transaction.

(iii) That there are no liens or encumbrances against assets acquired by Borrower or Affiliates with the proceeds of such advance, other than as granted to Lender in connection herewith or consented to in writing by Lender. (iv) That no default exists under the Loan Documents and that no event has occurred as of such date that with the giving of notice or otherwise would constitute an event of default of the Loan Documents. (v) That, to the actual knowledge of Borrower, Borrower and/or Affiliates can perform all terms and conditions of the Transaction as to which the advance is requested, including those unrelated to the advance.

Any advances made by Lender prior to the fulfillment by Borrower of any requirements of Lender or any condition precedent set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of Lender's right to have such requirement or condition precedent fulfilled, including prior to advancing future Loan Amounts. The failure to subsequently fulfill such requirements or conditions precedent within the time period reasonably required by Lender shall be deemed a default by Borrower. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, advance an amount that exceeds the face amount of the Note. c. Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance if, at the time of such advance is to be made: (i) Borrower is in default with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents or of any instrument, document or writing referenced herein. (ii) Lender determines, in good faith, that Borrower is incapable of performing under the terms of any of the documents executed with respect to the Transaction related to such advance. (iii) Lender determines that Borrower cannot complete any of the Transactions which are the purpose of this Agreement. (iv) Lender determines Borrower cannot obtain funding for the New Issue. (v) Lender has not approved the form of documents related to the Transaction for which such advance is requested. (vi) Lender does not approve of the Transaction for any reason, in its sole discretion, as to which the advance is requested. (vii) Lender determines in good faith after consultation with Borrower that Borrower has not fulfilled each of the conditions precedent with respect to such advance. d. Lender shall have no obligation, either express or implied, to Borrower, or to any third parties to verify that advances made pursuant to this Agreement are actually used for the purpose herein. No party may be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. e. Lender shall have no liability or obligation, either express or implied, to Borrower or to any third parties, in connection with the Transactions, except to advance monies as provided under this Agreement. Further, Lender is not liable for the performance of any other third parties nor for any failure of such party to perform any obligations to Borrower. Nothing under this Agreement shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, on Lender's part, to any party, other than Lender's representations to Borrower as set forth in paragraph 14 herein. Any advance made by Lender shall not be deemed an agreement by Lender that Borrower is in compliance with this Agreement, that Lender has determined that Borrower has so complied or that any of those factors as set forth in paragraph 8(c) hereto are correct. 9. ZARAGOZA TRANSACTION. Borrower represents and agrees as follows: a. ACQUISITION OF STOCK. Borrower has requested and received an advance related to the Zaragoza Transaction in the sum of $821,074.24, which advance Borrower placed into a bank account in Spain controlled only by Borrower. Had certain conditions occurred, this money was to be used to acquire ninety percent (90%) of the shares of Common Stock of Casino de Zaragoza SA from SR Alfonso Fuentes ("Fuentes Stock"). Because terms and conditions regarding the acquisition of the Fuentes Stock as well as the acquisition of a new casino in downtown Zaragoza did not occur, the sum of $800,018.30 was released from the escrow and repaid to Lender on December 18, 1997. Because this sum of $800,018.30 was repaid in this manner, Lender has agreed to waive its right to receive Warrants pursuant to Section 11 herein as to such advance. Should sums related to the Zaragoza Transaction be requested in the future and advanced by Lender, Section 11 shall apply to such sums. b. LETTER OF CREDIT. Borrower may request an advance related to the Zaragoza Transaction in the sum of $725,000.00, which advance shall be used to purchase certificates of deposit to be used as collateral ("Collateral CD's") in favor of a financial institution located in the United States of America mutually acceptable to Borrower and Lender. Such Collateral CD's are to be used to secure a letter of credit by Borrower in favor of a bank in Spain which issues a bank guarantee or similar instrument in the sum of approximately $700,000.00 in favor of the DGA. This bank guarantee is required by the DGA as a component of the Zaragoza Transaction. Lender shall be granted a security interest in such Collateral CD's. Documents controlling these Collateral CD's shall provide for the release of such Collateral CD's to Lender as a payment on the Note in the event the DGA approval of the Zaragoza Transaction is not obtained or in the event the Fuentes Stock is not acquired by Borrower or an Affiliate. Borrower shall not request nor be eligible to receive this advance unless the ability of the DGA to draw under the terms of the contemplated bank guarantee is conditioned upon Borrower or an Affiliate having received from the DGA irrevocable authorization to operate a casino in downtown Zaragoza (as opposed to and in addition to a change in the law by the local legislature permitting such a license). Such letter of credit or bank guarantee shall not become irrevocable until such conditions are met and until Borrower or an Affiliate has acquired the Fuentes Stock. Borrower shall only enter into such letter of credit and/or bank guarantee upon obtaining the written approval of Lender to do so. Lender shall not be required to make this advance unless it, in its sole discretion, approves the form of all documents related to such advance, including the letter of credit and bank guarantee. 10.

The entire unpaid principal balance under the Loan Documents and all accrued unpaid interest therein is due and payable December 31, 1998 ("Final Maturity Date"). The obligation to pay and all obligations arising under the Loan Documents are a general obligation of the Borrower and are not limited to proceeds received from the operation of the Boxer Casino.

In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity agreement or bond as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same with written direction to the Trustee (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity (including a bond) as any of them may require to save each of them harmless from all risks, however remote, and in every case of apparent destruction, loss or theft the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 by virtue of the fact that any Security is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.7 CANCELLATION OF SECURITIES; DISPOSITION THEREOF. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities held by it and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Issuer from time to time. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Securities issued herein shall be delivered to the respective Holder upon surrender and cancellation of the securities issued pursuant to the Original Indenture. SECTION 2.8 TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

The Issuer shall, and TWG shall cause TWG Louisiana and each of TWG Louisiana's Subsidiaries to, maintain with insurers that TWG believes in good faith to be financially sound and reputable such insurance as may be required by law and such other insurance, to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities, as it in good faith determines is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated with like properties. Subject to Section 3.12 the Issuer shall, and TWG shall cause TWG Louisiana and each of TWG Louisiana's Subsidiaries to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises, except to the extent permitted by this Indenture and except in such cases where the Board of Directors determines in good faith that failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the business, earnings, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operation of TWG Louisiana and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Issuer shall, and TWG shall cause TWG Louisiana and each of TWG Louisiana's Subsidiaries to, comply in all material respects with all statutes, laws, ordinances, or government rules and regulations to which it is subject. The Issuer shall, and TWG shall cause TWG Louisiana and each of TWG Louisiana's Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and governmental levies except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. SECTION 3.7 EXCESS CASH FLOW PAYMENT. Not less than twenty (20) days following each two calendar month period, with the first such two month period commencing April 1, 1998, the Issuer shall (a) deposit in immediately available funds with the Trustee in a fund which the Trustee may establish for the benefit of the Securityholders an aggregate amount equal to Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the prior two month period, and (b) regardless of whether any repayment of principal is required under this Section, provide the Trustee and each Securityholder with a written notice containing in reasonable detail the Issuer's calculation of Excess Cash Flow. Excess Cash Flow shall be applied first to accrued, unpaid interest on an equal and ratable basis among the Securityholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount due each Securityholder, adjusted for any reduction in principal as to any Securityholder pursuant to Section 13, so that the sum distributed accurately reflects the interest accrued by such Securityholder as a percentage of the total interest paid for in such two month period and the balance thereof shall be applied to principal as set forth herein. Any repayments of principal required by this Section shall be paid on an equal and ratable basis among the Securityholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Securities held by each Securityholder without taking into account any reduction in principal pursuant to Section 13, except to the extent such failure to take into account such principal reductions pursuant to Section 13 would result in a payment of an amount in excess of the principal sum due to such Securityholder. The reduction in the principal amount of the Securities effected by repayments made under this Section may be made without presentation of the Securities and shall be binding on all future Securityholders. Securityholders shall make the appropriate notation on the Securities to indicate the amount of any repayments under this Section. If there is no Excess Cash Flow, nothing herein shall be construed to create an obligation to make a payment for such period. The Excess Cash Flow payment will be made in the following manner. At least 5 days (or other period of time the Issuer and the Trustee may agree upon) prior to the date on which the Issuer is required to make such the payment required by this Section 3.7, the Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice of such payment, which notice shall state the amount of the payment, certify that such payment is equal to Excess Cash Flow for the applicable period, and set forth the date the Issuer has selected that the payment be made ("Cash Flow Payment Date"). The Record Date (herein so called) to determine the Holders who shall be entitled to receive the payment shall be 10 Business Days before the Cash Flow Payment Date selected by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be required to send a notice of the prepayment to the Holders with respect to such payment. When the money to effect the payment of the Securities is held by the Trustee for the purpose of effecting such payment, interest on that portion of the Securities to be prepaid shall cease to accrue on the Principal being reduced by the payment. The Trustee and the Holders shall make notations with respect to the reduction of principal on Securities made a result of the payment, and such notations of the Trustee shall be binding on the Securityholders and all future Securityholders, even if such holders do not make such notations on the certificates representing such Securities. The payments will be made by the Trustee in increments of $100.00. Any Excess Cash Flow which does not meet this requirement will be returned to the Issuer pursuant to its written instructions and will be Undistributed Excess Cash Flow. SECTION 3.8 BOOKS. Issuer will keep at all times proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of its transactions in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

SECTION 3.10 SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. Issuer will not incur, create, assume or at any time become liable, contingently or otherwise for any borrowed or other indebtedness that is senior in right of payment to the Securities, other than the Bishkek Note. Nothing herein shall be construed to (i) prohibit the issuance of the Bishkek Note, the Czech Notes, or the Funding Note; or (ii) permit the issuance of any indebtedness that would be secured by the Collateral granted to the Holders. Nothing herein shall be construed to permit the issuance of any indebtedness secured by the Collateral (this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the Bishkek Note or the Czech Note). SECTION 3.11 DISTRIBUTIONS. Issuer will not declare or pay, or set apart any funds for the payment of, any dividend on any shares of Capital Stock by reduction of capital surplus or otherwise, or make any distribution in respect of shares of Capital Stock or redeem, repurchase, or effect any other sale, or exchange, upon any of its Capital Stock. SECTION 3.12 DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. Issuer will not sell, assign, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, to any third party, in any transaction or series of transactions, all or any portion of its properties or assets, except for sales, assignments, leases, transfers, or dispositions at fair market value, of properties or assets, where such net proceeds are utilized by the Issuer to invest in its existing business, except, in the event Issuer determines in good faith (or to the extent so directed by the holders of 50% of the Securities) that it is no longer able to operate a gambling facility (including as a result of a loss of its license to operate such a facility or as a result of a loss of a premises lease). Upon such determination, Issuer shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to promptly liquidate such assets which comprise the facility which has ceased operations in such manner as shall realize proceeds which reasonably represent the fair market value thereof. This Section shall not govern the Capital Stock or assets of TWG International, TWG Finance, or Subsidiaries of either. SECTION 3.13 LINE OF BUSINESS.

TWG Finance shall not engage in any business other than performance of its obligations arising under the Czech Note, Funding Note, and all documents related to those two transactions (including indentures). SECTION 3.14 PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT. None of the Issuers shall, nor shall permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of the Securities for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any terms or provisions of the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Securities which so consent, waive or agree in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. SECTION 3.15 COST OF OPERATIONS. TWG International shall be solely responsible for all costs of operating TWG Finance, TWG International and TWG International's direct and indirect Subsidiaries. In addition, TWG International shall be responsible for costs of administration of TWG in the sum of $25,000 per month, through June 30, 1999, and for one hundred percent of such costs of administration from the earlier of (a) the date TWG no longer has adequate cash from its business operations in Louisiana to pay such costs, or (b) after June 30, 1999.

Cost of administration refers to all costs associated with the TWG corporate headquarters in New York and London, including rent and salaries and expenses of all officers and employees at such location (or any successor location). Nothing herein shall prohibit TWG International from reimbursing TWG as to costs incurred in the acquisition of the Czech Casinos, this Indenture, the Czech Indenture and the Funding Indenture, up to the sum of $250,000 at the closing of the Czech Indenture, or directly paying all unpaid costs related to those transactions.

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.6, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. SECTION 5.7 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF SECURITYHOLDERS TO INSTITUTE CERTAIN SUITS. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 5.8 POWERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER OF DEFAULT.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and subject to Section 5.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by Securityholders. SECTION 5.10 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may on behalf of all Holders, upon providing the Trustee with reasonable indemnity with respect to any action that might be taken by the Holders not so consenting, provide forbearances, waive any default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences under this Indenture including acceleration, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Securities at the Maturity Date. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 5.11 TRUSTEE TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFAULT, BUT MAY WITHHOLD IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the registry books, notice by mail of all defaults actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, such notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "default" or "defaults" for the purposes of this Section 5.11 being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); PROVIDED that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders. SECTION 5.12 RIGHT OF COURT TO REQUIRE FILING OF UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Maturity Date expressed in such Security. SECTION 5.13 EXCESS CASH FLOW. All references to payments of principal and interest refer soley to the Excess Cash Flow payments required by Section 3.17 of this Indenture. ARTICLE 6 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 6.1 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEE; DURING DEFAULT; PRIOR TO DEFAULT. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; (d) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains written notice of such default; and (e) whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of Any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not assured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee. SECTION 6.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE TRUSTEE. SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.1: (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed), and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security and/or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding; PROVIDED that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians or nominees not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder. (h) the Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Collateral, or the Securities. It shall not be accountable for the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities, other than its authentication. Except required by Section 14.6 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be responsible for any recording, re-recording, filing or refiling of this Indenture or other document to perfect the security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements. The Trustee may nevertheless require the Issuer to furnish information regarding performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Collateral Agreements, but is not obligated to do so. SECTION 6.3 TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS, DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES OR APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS THEREOF. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall not be accountable or responsible for any information, statement or recital in any prospectus, private offering memorandum or any other disclosure material prepared or distributed in connection with the distribution of the Securities. SECTION 6.4 TRUSTEE AND AGENTS MAY HOLD SECURITIES; COLLECTIONS, ETC. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, if operative, may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. SECTION 6.5 MONEYS HELD BY TRUSTEE. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. SECTION 6.6 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE AND ITS PRIOR CLAIM. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with notices and other communications to Holders) disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee, and each predecessor trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 6.6 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all Property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. The Trustee and Issuer shall enter into a Fee Agreement acceptable to the Trustee and Issuer. SECTION 6.7 RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE, ETC. Subject to Section 6.1, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant and protection to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 6.8 [Reserved]. SECTION 6.9 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR APPOINTMENT AS TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or territory or of the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or being a member of a bank holding system with an aggregate combined capital and surplus), and which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Issuer nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Issuer may serve as Trustee hereunder. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.9, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. SECTION 6.10 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer's consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.8 or 6.9; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee that is reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the senior claim provided in Section 6.6 and upon being paid the compensation due to it in Section 6.6), the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.8, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. SECTION 6.11 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall upon being paid the amounts due it under Section 6.6 pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all Property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. No Trustee under this Indenture shall be personally liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee. SECTION 6.12 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS OF TRUSTEE. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, PROVIDED that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall have; PROVIDED that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 6.13 [Reserved]. SECTION 6.14 TRUST ESTATE MAY BE VESTED IN CO-TRUSTEE OR IN A SUB- TRUST. It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting of the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. Accordingly, at any time or times and for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction, (i) a sub-trust ("Sub-Trust") may be created as provided herein pursuant to the terms of which the Settlers of the Sub-Trust may appoint an individual or financial institution to serve as a trustee thereunder (Sub-Trustee"), and (ii) the Trustee shall have the power to appoint, and the Issuer shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more persons or entities approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the property subject to the trust created by this Indenture. If the appointment of a co-trustee is not sufficient to allow the Trustee to avoid violating any law of the state jurisdiction denying or restricting the Trustee's right to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction or to exercise any of its remedies contained herein or any Collateral Document, then the Trustee may execute, and the Issuer shall for such purpose join with the Trustee, an instrument permitted by applicable law creating a Sub-trust for all or a portion of the Trust Estate, including collateral securing the Securities. Initially, the Issuer and the Trustee shall enter into an Act of Revocable Donation and Trust in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Pursuant to such instrument, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be the Settlers and John C. Stohlmann shall serve as the initial trustee ("sub-trustee") pursuant to the terms thereof. The Sub-trustee shall be entitled to the same rights, privileges, and immunities (but not the obligations) of the Trustee contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.5 and 6.7 of this Indenture, in addition to the rights, privileges and immunities contained in the Sub-trust. Further, the Issuer shall indemnify the Sub-trustee to the same extent as provided in Section 6.6 of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be accountable to the Securityholders for the acts and omissions of the Sub-trustee in accordance with the standard of care provided in Section 6.1 hereof, subject to limitations thereon set forth in subsections (a) through (e) thereof, but only so long as the Sub-trustee is an Affiliate of the Trustee. The Sub-trust shall be governed by the terms thereof. The following provisions relate only to the situation in which a co- trustee is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof and not to the Sub-trust. Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed subject to the following terms: (a) The Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations hereby conferred upon the Trustee in respect to the custody, control and management of moneys, papers, securities and other personal property shall be exercised, solely by the Trustee. (b) All rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the trustees shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee, or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees, except to the extent that, under the law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such act or acts shall be performed by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees. (c) Any request in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action hereunder shall be sufficient warrant for the taking, or the refraining from taking, of such action by such co-trustee or separate trustee. (d) Any co-trustee or separate trustee may, to the extent permitted by law, delegate to the Trustee the exercise of any right, power, trust, duty or obligation, discretionary or otherwise. (e) The Trustee at any time, by any instrument in writing, with the concurrence of the Issuer, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustees or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. (f) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of other trustee hereunder, nor will the act or omission of any trustee hereunder be imputed to any other trustee. (g) Any demand, request, direction, appointment, removal, notice, consent, waiver or other action in writing delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee or separate trustee. (h) Any moneys, papers, securities or other items of personal property received by any such co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall forthwith, so far as may be permitted by law, be turned over to the Trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such co- trustee or separate trustee, it or he or she shall be vested jointly with the Trustee (except insofar as local law makes it necessary for any such co- trustee or separate trustee to act alone) with such title to the property subject to the trust created by this Indenture or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties or obligations, as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment subject to all the terms hereof. Every such acceptance shall be filed with the Trustee. To the extent permitted by law, any co-trustee or separate trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Trustee its or his or her attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its or his or her behalf and in its or his or her own name. In case any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the pledged property, and all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said co-trustee or separate trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee unless and until a successor co-trustee or separate trustee shall be appointed in the manner herein provided. ARTICLE 7 CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 7.1 EVIDENCE OF ACTION TAKEN BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in Person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer if made in the manner provided in this Article. SECTION 7.2 PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF SECURITIES. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holdings of Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the registrar thereof. SECTION 7.3 HOLDERS TO BE TREATED AS OWNERS. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security. SECTION 7.4 SECURITIES OWNED BY ISSUER DEEMED NOT OUTSTANDING. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are directly owned by the Issuer (which shall not include the Securityholders as of the date of Issue), except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor of the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth. SECTION 7.5 RIGHT OF REVOCATION OF ACTION TAKEN. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities. ARTICLE 8 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES SECTION 8.1 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (b) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (c) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer's obligations hereunder to the Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation pursuant to Article Nine hereof; or, (d) With the consent of the holders of 50% of the Czech Notes, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 8.1 may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2. SECTION 8.2 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Seven) of the Holders of (i) not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, and (ii) the holders of 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Czech Notes at the time Outstanding, (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities; PROVIDED that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby and the holders of 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Czech Notes with respect to subsections (i)-(iii) and subsection (viii) as it relates to subsections (i)-(iii)) (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Securityholder), (i) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities, (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security, (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration), (v) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Securities, (vi) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Securities, (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, or (viii) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto.

SECTION 11.2 PROVISIONS OF INDENTURE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF PARTIES AND SECURITYHOLDERS. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, other than the rights expressly granted to the holders of the Czech Notes. SECTION 11.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF ISSUER BOUND BY INDENTURE. All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. SECTION 11.4 NOTICES AND DEMANDS ON ISSUER, TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities to or on the Issuer shall be given or served by (i) delivery in Person, (ii) telecopy (confirmed by copy sent by first- class mail) or (iii) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), in each case addressed (until another address of the Issuer is filed by the Issuer with the Trustee) to Trans World Gaming Corp., One Penn Plaza, Suite 1503, New York, NY 10119, Attention: President (Telecopy No.: (212) 563-3380).

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security register. Any notice which is delivered, telecopied (and confirmed by mail) or mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the addressee receives such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice or confirm by mail telecopy notice to the Issuer and Securityholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

All agreements between Issuer and Holders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the final maturity date of the Securities or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Holders exceed the maximum amount permissible under the laws of the State of New York (hereinafter the "Applicable Law"). If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Holders in excess of the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, the interest payable to the Holders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, and if from any circumstance the Holders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by the Applicable Law in excess of the maximum amount permissible under the Applicable Law, an amount equal to the excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive amount of interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Issuer. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by the Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period (including any renewal or extension) until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under the Applicable Law.

All references herein to the "Security Interest" and to the "Lien of this Indenture" shall be deemed to mean and refer to the Liens granted to the Trustee in the Original Indenture and Collateral Agreements executed pursuant to the Original Indenture, as affirmed, reinstated, restated, renewed, replaced and amended herein and pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements.

SECTION 14.3 PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. The Issuer shall cause this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, notifications of secured transactions and other instruments with respect to the Collateral to be promptly executed, recorded, registered and filed and to be kept recorded, registered and filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law, and take all such other actions as may be required, in order to make effective the Security Interest in all personal property constituting part of the Collateral as a perfected security interest and in all real property constituting part of the Collateral as a mortgage lien effective as to third parties, and shall pay all taxes and fees incidental thereto. SECTION 14.4 NO DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL; RELEASE OF LIEN OF INDENTURE. The Issuer may not sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral, except as provided in Section 3.13. SECTION 14.5 OTHER LIENS.

SECTION 14.6 TRUSTEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Subject to its right of indemnification, the Trustee shall take any action required or permitted to be taken by the Trustee under the Collateral Agreements if directed in writing to do so by the Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding; provided, however, that no action shall be taken which, in the Opinion of Counsel, impairs the enforceability, priority or perfection of the Lien of this Indenture as to the Collateral then subject thereto, unless directed by all Holders, except as provided in Section 3.13. SECTION 14.7 RETURN OF COLLATERAL. Upon the payment in full of the obligations or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 10 (and the Trustee receiving written confirmation thereof satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Collateral Agreements, shall forthwith take all necessary action to return any Collateral in the Trustee's possession to the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and release the Liens thereon and Security Interests therein. SECTION 14.8 DEFAULT REMEDIES. The Trustee shall have the rights set forth in the Collateral Agreements to exercise the remedies to realize upon the collateral set forth in the Collateral Agreements. SECTION 14.9 PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral received by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements shall be applied by the Trustee: First: to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, and its agents, attorneys and counsel, and of all charges, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee under this Indenture; Second: to the reimbursement of the Trustee for any sum advanced by the Trustee to the Issuer in order to preserve the Collateral together with interest at the rate charged publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. from time to time in New York, New York as its reference rate; and Third: as provided in Section 5.3. SECTION 14.10 DEFICIENCY. The Issuer shall remain liable for any unfulfilled obligations, together with interest thereon, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture. SECTION 14.11 TRUSTEE'S DUTIES. The powers conferred upon the Trustee by this Article 14 are solely to protect its interest and the interest of the Holders in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Trustee to exercise any such powers except as expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Collateral Agreements. The Trustee shall be under no duty to the Issuer whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties except as expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Collateral Agreements. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the obligations or Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall the Trustee be under any duty to the Issuer to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Trustee shall have no duty to the Issuer to comply with any recording, filing, or other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority or enforceability of, or the Trustee's rights in or to, any of the Collateral. SECTION 14.12 SPECIAL TRUSTEE POWERS DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. The Trustee shall have the power to settle or compromise at any time any and all claims against the Trust Estate or the Trustee (either in its corporate capacity, or in the personal capacity of the individuals serving as trust officers on behalf of the Trustee), which may be asserted by any governmental body or private party involving the alleged violation of any applicable Environmental Laws affecting the Collateral or any other property held in trust with respect to or in connection with the Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision in this subparagraph to the contrary, the Trustee may not settle or compromise any claim against the Trust Estate or the Trustee which may result in any liability being asserted against Issuer without Issuer having had a reasonable opportunity to resolve the alleged violation, which reasonable opportunity shall not exceed 60 days from the date on which Issuer shall have been notified of such alleged violation by a governmental body or a private party; provided, however, in the event that Issuer shall be in default under the Indenture or under the Collateral Agreements, then it shall have none of the rights afforded to it in this paragraph. The Trustee shall not be personally liable to the Holders or any other Person for any decrease in value of the Collateral by reason of the Trustee's compliance with any Applicable Environmental Laws (as defined in the Collateral Agreements), specifically including any reporting requirement under such law. Neither the acceptance by the Trustee of property nor failure by the Trustee to inspect property shall be deemed to create any interference as to whether or not there is or may be any liability under any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to such property. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to initiate foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Collateral, and shall not otherwise be required to acquire possession of, or take other action with respect to the Collateral which could cause the Trustee to be considered an "owner" or "operator" within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any other law dealing with the environmental matters or hazardous substances, unless the Trustee has sufficient comfort, based on previous determinations by experts on which it can rely, including environmental report, that: (a) there are no circumstances present at the Collateral relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, contaminant, clean up or remedial action could be required under any environmental laws, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be nevertheless in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Holders to take such actions with respect to the Collateral; (b) if the Trustee has determined that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Holders, the Trustee must be satisfied that they will suffer no unreimbursed liabilities and will be adequately reimbursed for all liabilities, expenses and costs from available funds in Trustee's possession and control; and (c) if the Trustee has determined that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Holders to take any such action and its aforementioned liabilities, expenses and costs are adequately reimbursed, the Trustee has so notified the Holders and has not received, within 30 days of such notification, instructions from owners of fifty percent (50%) or more in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities directing it not to take such action. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied and the Trustee is not willing to waive such conditions and initiate foreclosure proceedings, then the Trustee shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate the appointment of a co-trustee, being a person or entity designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding and to assign to such person or entity (subject, however, to the trusts created pursuant to the Indenture) the beneficial interest under the Collateral Agreements which secures the obligations under the Indenture, for the limited purpose of conducting a foreclosure of such Collateral Agreements and receiving and holding any title to real property obtained as a result of such foreclosure. Persons or entities appointed as co-trustees or agents of the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall not be required to meet the criteria of Section 6.9 of this Indenture, or any other criteria, in order to serve as such. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and, where appropriate, their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of March 31, 1996.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders (the words "Holders" or "Holder" meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of the Securities. The Securities are secured obligations of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Security and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Indenture. In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal and interest in respect of all of the Securities then outstanding may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that the Holders of 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or the principal of, the Securities or in respect of a covenant or provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders of the Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and any Security which may be issued in exchange or substitution therefor, whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities. The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities; PROVIDED that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Securityholder) (i) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities, (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security, (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration), (v) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Securities, (vi) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Securities, (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security or (viii) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Issuer, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and the interest on this Security at the place, times, and rate, and in the currency, herein prescribed. The Securities are issuable only as registered Securities without coupons. At the office or agency of the Issuer referred to on the face hereof and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee as provided in the Indenture. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. As provided in the Indenture, TWG International shall be required to make mandatory prepayments equal to Excess Cash Flow until Obligations are fully defeased pursuant to Section 10.2 or until one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is paid. The Securities may also be redeemed by the Issuer, in whole, or in part, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. If there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuer shall be required to offer to purchase all outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued unpaid interest, if any, through the date of such purchase. Subject to payment by the Issuer of a sum sufficient to pay the amount due upon redemption, interest on this Security shall cease to accrue upon the date duly fixed for redemption of this Security. The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Issuer or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Security, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer, employee or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or Trustee or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

SECTION 2.5 REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Issuer will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2 a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Securities as in this Article provided. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security at each such office or agency, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. Any Security or Securities may be exchanged for a Security or Securities in other authorized denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount. Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, provided however, the Issuer shall be responsible for all costs associated with perfection of the Security Interest in Collateral as to the transferee and obtaining a search of title prior thereto. No service charge shall be made for any such exchange or registration transaction. The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption. All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. SECTION 2.6 MUTILATED, DEFACED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of or in substitution for the Security so apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity agreement or bond as may be reasonably required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer and the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same with written direction to the Trustee (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity (including a bond) as any of them may reasonably require to save each of them harmless and in every case of apparent destruction, loss or theft the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 by virtue of the fact that any Security is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 2.7 CANCELLATION OF SECURITIES; DISPOSITION THEREOF. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it in accordance with its regulations and deliver a certificate to the Issuer with respect to such disposition from time to time upon written request. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.8 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities shall be issuable as registered securities without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish, at its expenses, definitive Securities and thereupon temporary Securities may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for the purpose pursuant to Section 3.2, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. The Issuer shall not be obligated to issue definitive Securities until it or the Trustee shall have received such temporary Securities. ARTICLE 3 COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER SECTION 3.1 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Each Issuer covenants and agrees as joint and several obligors that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities at the place or places, at the respective times as required by and in the manner provided in the Securities. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date sums sufficient to pay the installment. Anything herein or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Issuer hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest to the Holder shall not be required to the extent that the receipt of any such payment by such Holder would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to the Issuer which limit the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or collected by the Holder, including as set forth in Section 11.11 (the "Maximum Rate"). SECTION 3.2 OFFICES FOR PAYMENTS, ETC. So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer will maintain at such place in the City of New York and at such other place, if any, as may be designated by the Issuer, the following: (a) an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange as provided in this Indenture and (b) an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will initially maintain such offices or agencies with the corporate secretary at the Issuer's principal place of business and the Operations office of the Trustee in New York, New York. The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 3.3 APPOINTMENT TO FILL A VACANCY IN OFFICE OF TRUSTEE. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of the Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. SECTION 3.4 PAYING AGENTS. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee or itself, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4: (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities or of the Trustee; and (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities when the same shall be due and payable. The Issuer will, at least one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities, deposit with the paying agent a sum which is in immediately available funds on the due date sufficient to pay such principal or interest and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer, or paying agent which is not the Trustee, will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section 3.4, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.4 is subject to the provisions of Sections 10.4 and 10.5. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as paying agent. SECTION 3.5 OFFICERS' CERTIFICATES AS TO DEFAULT AND AS TO COMPLIANCE. Each Issuer will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding: (a) deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any default or defaults in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture (including notice of any event which with the giving of notice, lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default under Section 5.1 hereof), an Officers' Certificate specifying such default or defaults; and (b) deliver to the Trustee within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Issuer beginning with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 1998, an Officers' Certificate, to the effect that: (i) a diligent review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture throughout such year, or if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to them and the nature and status thereof. SECTION 3.6 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT. (a) Within forty-five (45) days of the end of the second and fourth quarter of each Fiscal Year, the Issuer shall (a) repay an aggregate principal amount of the Securities equal to the Excess Cash Flow for the 6-month period ending on the last day of such quarter, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to the date of repayment, and (b) regardless of whether any repayment of principal is required under this Section, provide each Securityholder with a written notice containing in reasonable detail TWG International's calculation of Excess Cash Flow. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, TWG International shall not be required to repay any principal under this Section unless Excess Cash Flow equals or exceeds the lesser of $250,000 or the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, in which case all Excess Cash Flow then outstanding shall be used to repay principal in accordance with this Section. Any repayments of principal required by this Section shall be paid on an equal and ratable basis among the Securityholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Securities held by each Securityholder. The reduction in the principal amount of the Securities effected by repayments made under this Section may be made without presentation of the Securities and shall be binding on all future Securityholders. Securityholders shall make the appropriate notation on the Securities to indicate the amount of any repayments under this Section. (b) The prepayment will be made in the following manner. At least 15 days prior to the date on which the Issuer proposes to make the prepayment required by this Section 3.6, the Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice of such prepayment, which notice shall state the amount of the prepayment and the date the Issuer has selected that the prepayment be made, which date may not be later than 45 days from the end of the second and fourth quarters, as the case may be. The Trustee shall not be required to send a notice of mandatory redemption to the Holders with respect to such prepayment. At least one Business Day before the mandatory prepayment, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee (or other paying agent) in immediately available funds the money to be used to prepay the Securities. When the money to effect the mandatory prepayment of the Securities is held by the Trustee for the purpose of effecting such prepayment, interest on that portion of the Securities to be prepaid shall cease to accrue on the reduction of principal on Securities made a result of the prepayment, and such notations shall be binding on the Securityholders and all future Securityholders, even if such holders do not make such notations on the certificates representing such Securities. The prepayments will be made by the Trustee in increments of $100.00. Any Excess Cash Flow which does not meet this requirement will be returned to the Issuer pursuant to its written instructions. SECTION 3.7 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES, ETC. Each Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its material properties and assets in working order and condition and make all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto as permitted by this Indenture, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be conducted in the usual and customary manner. Each Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain with insurers that the Issuer believes in good faith to be financially sound and reputable such insurance as may be required by law and such other insurance, to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities, as it in good faith determines is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated with like properties. Each Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises, except to the extent permitted by this Indenture and except in such cases where the Board of Directors determines in good faith that failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the business, earnings, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operation of each such Issuer and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this provision shall prohibit TWG from terminating its or its Subsidiaries' operations in the State of Louisiana, USA. Each Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply in all material respects with all statutes, laws, ordinances, or government rules and regulations to which it is subject. Each Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and governmental levies except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. For purposes of this Section, the obligations of this Section shall, as to TWG, be the obligations of TWG and its non TWG International Subsidiaries, and as to TWG International, be the obligations of TWG International and its Subsidiaries. SECTION 3.8 INDEBTEDNESS. Each Issuer will pay punctually and discharge when due and payable any Indebtedness heretofore or hereafter incurred or assumed by it and discharge, perform and observe the covenants, provisions and conditions to be discharged, performed and observed on the part of the Issuer in connection therewith, or in connection with any agreement or other instrument relating thereto.

The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date. Whenever the principal of and interest on all Securities have been paid in full under the provisions of this Section 5.3 and all expenses and charges of the Trustee have been paid, any balance remaining in the Trust Estate shall be paid as provided in Section 10.6 of this Indenture. SECTION 5.4 SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements or by law.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Collateral Agreements, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and subject to Section 5.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or under the Collateral Agreements or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

The Holders of 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture; PROVIDED that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Trustee is provided with reasonable indemnification by the Holders prior to taking such action; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in any financial or other liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders. Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by Securityholders. SECTION 5.10 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may on behalf of all Holders, upon providing the Trustee with reasonable indemnity with respect to any action that might be taken by the Holders not so consenting, provide forbearances, waive any default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences under this Indenture including acceleration, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Securities or on the Funding Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 5.11 TRUSTEE TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFAULT, BUT MAY WITHHOLD IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the registry books, notice by mail of all defaults actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, such notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "default" or "defaults" for the purposes of this Section 5.11 being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); PROVIDED that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders. SECTION 5.12 RIGHT OF COURT TO REQUIRE FILING OF UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders holding in the aggregate more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security. SECTION 5.13 EXCESS CASH FLOW. All references to payments of principal and interest include Excess Cash Flow payments required by this Indenture. ARTICLE 6 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 6.1 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEE; DURING DEFAULT; PRIOR TO DEFAULT. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a 50% in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; (d) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains written notice of such default; and (e) whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not assured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee. SECTION 6.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE TRUSTEE. Subject to Section 6.1: (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed), and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security and/or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; PROVIDED that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians or nominees not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder; and (h) the Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Collateral, or the Securities. It shall not be accountable for the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities, other than its authentication. Except required by Section 14.6 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be responsible for any recording, re-recording, filing or refiling of this Indenture or other document to perfect the Trust Estate's security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements. The Trustee may nevertheless require the Issuer to furnish information regarding performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Collateral Agreements, but is not obligated to do so. SECTION 6.3 TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS, DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES OR APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS THEREOF. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall not be accountable or responsible for any information, statement or recital in any prospectus, private offering memorandum or any other disclosure material prepared or distributed in connection with the distribution of the Securities. SECTION 6.4 TRUSTEE AND AGENTS MAY HOLD SECURITIES; COLLECTIONS, ETC. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, if operative, may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. SECTION 6.5 MONEYS HELD BY TRUSTEE. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. SECTION 6.6 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE AND ITS PRIOR CLAIM. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with notices and other communications to Holders) disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee, and each predecessor trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 6.6 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all Property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. The Trustee and Issuer shall enter into a Fee Agreement acceptable to the Trustee and Issuer. SECTION 6.7 RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE, ETC. Subject to Section 6.1, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant and protection to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 6.8 [Reserved]. SECTION 6.9 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR APPOINTMENT AS TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or territory or of the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or being a member of a bank holding system with such an aggregate combined capital and surplus), and which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Issuer nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Issuer may serve as Trustee hereunder. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.9, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. SECTION 6.10 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer's consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.8 or 6.9; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee that is reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the senior claim provided in Section 6.6 and upon being paid the compensation due to it in Section 6.6), the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.8, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. SECTION 6.11 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall upon being paid the amounts due it under Section 6.6 pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all Property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. No Trustee under this Indenture shall be personally liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee. SECTION 6.12 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS OF TRUSTEE. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, PROVIDED that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall have; PROVIDED that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 6.13 [Reserved]. SECTION 6.14 INTERVENTION IN LITIGATION. In any judicial proceedings with respect to the Securities to which the Issuer is a party the Trustee may intervene on behalf of Holders and shall, subject to Section 6.2 of this Indenture, intervene if requested in writing by Holders owning not less than fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding. SECTION 6.15 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEES. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Issuer (and in case of an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee) shall have the power to appoint one or more persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee of all or any part of the Collateral, or to act as separate trustee or separate co-trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such person or persons, in such capacity, such title to the Collateral or any part of it, and/or such rights, powers, duties, trusts or obligations as the Issuer and/or the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.15. Upon the request of the Trustee or of Holder owning not less than fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effect such appointment. If the Issuer shall not have joined in such appointment within 30 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. The Issuer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by any such co-trustee or separate trustee for more fully confirming such title, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations to such co-trustee or separate trustee. Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law or any applicable contract, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: (i) all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the trustees shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee, or by the Trustee and such co-trustee, or separate trustee, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that, under the law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such act or acts shall be performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee; (ii) any request in writing by the Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action under this Indenture shall be sufficient warrant for the taking, or the refraining from taking, of such action by such co-trustee or separate trustee; (iii) any co-trustee or separate trustee to the extent permitted by law may delegate to the Trustee the exercise of any right, power, trust, duty or obligation, discretionary or otherwise; (iv) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by a resolution, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 6.15, and, in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer; upon the request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal; a successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.15; (v) no trustee under this Indenture shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any co-trustee or separate trustee under this Indenture. (vi) any demand, request, direction, appointment, removal, notice, consent, waiver or other action in writing executed by any Holder and delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee or separate trustee; and (vii) any moneys, papers, securities or other items of personal property received by any such co-trustee or separate trustee under this Indenture shall forthwith, so far as may be permitted by law, be turned over to the Trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of appointment by any such co-trustee or separate trustee, it, she or he shall be vested with the pledge and assignment of the Collateral and with such rights, powers, duties, trusts or obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, jointly with the Trustee (except insofar as local law makes it necessary for any such co-trustee or separate trustee to act alone), subject to all the terms of this Indenture. Every such acceptance shall be filed with the Trustee and the Issuer. SECTION 6.16 EFFECT OF DEATH, INCAPACITY, RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. In case any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the pledge and assignment of the Collateral and all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the co-trustee or separate trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee unless and until a successor co-trustee or separate trustee shall be appointed in the same manner as provided for with respect to the appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of this Indenture. ARTICLE 7 CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 7.1 EVIDENCE OF ACTION TAKEN BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in Person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer if made in the manner provided in this Article. SECTION 7.2 PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF SECURITIES. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holdings of Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the registrar thereof. SECTION 7.3 HOLDERS TO BE TREATED AS OWNERS. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security. SECTION 7.4 SECURITIES OWNED BY ISSUER DEEMED NOT OUTSTANDING. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities (other than any holder of Securities on the Issuance Date) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. "Actual knowledge" means the fact of knowing without a duty to investigate. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor of the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth. SECTION 7.5 RIGHT OF REVOCATION OF ACTION TAKEN. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities. ARTICLE 8 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES SECTION 8.1 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental heretofor one or more of the following purposes: (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (b) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (c) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer's obligations hereunder to the Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation pursuant to Article Nine hereof; or (d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 8.1 may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2. SECTION 8.2 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Seven) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities; PROVIDED that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Securityholder), (i) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities, (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security, (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration), (v) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Securities, (vi) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Securities, (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security or (viii) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, then those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. SECTION 8.3 EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken at any such meeting.

SECTION 11.2 PROVISIONS OF INDENTURE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF PARTIES AND SECURITYHOLDERS. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained.

All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. SECTION 11.4 NOTICES AND DEMANDS ON ISSUER, TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities to or on the Issuer shall be given or served by (i) delivery in Person, (ii) telecopy (confirmed by copy sent by first- class mail) or (iii) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), in each case addressed (until another address of the Issuer is filed by the Issuer with the Trustee) to Trans World Gaming Corp., One Penn Plaza, Suite 1503, New York, NY 10119, Attention: President (Telecopy No.: (212) 563-3380).

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security register. Any notice which is delivered, telecopied (and confirmed by mail) or mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the addressee receives such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 11.11 WAIVER OF USURIOUS INTEREST. All agreements between Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the final maturity date of the Securities or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Holders exceed the maximum amount permissible under the laws of the State of New York (hereinafter the "Applicable Law"). If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Holders in excess of the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, the interest payable to the Holders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, and if from any circumstance the Holders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by the Applicable Law in excess of the maximum amount permissible under the Applicable Law, an amount equal to the excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive amount of interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Issuer. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by the Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period (including any renewal or extension) until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under the Applicable Law. The Holders expressly disavow any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the maximum amount permissible under the Applicable Law. This paragraph shall control agreements between the Issuer and the Holders. SECTION 11.12 VALUE OF SECURITIES. To the extent lawful, Warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement have a deminimus value and shall be valued at zero for U.S. income tax purpose, including adjustment to the Securities.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture, the Issuer at its option may redeem all or any portion of, the Securities upon payment of the amount redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). To exercise this option to redeem the Securities, the Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice thereof not less than 30 but not no more than 60 days prior to the redemption date selected by the Issuer and specified in such notice. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, then the Issuer shall specify the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. The redemption price shall be equal to unpaid principal to be redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. If less than all of the Outstanding Securities are to be called for redemption, the Securities shall be redeemed on a reasonably proportionate basis, in minimum amounts of $100.00, according to the principal amount of securities represented by such Securities Outstanding SECTION 12.2 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Security held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption to the extent provided in Section 12.1 will be paid as specified in said notice, that on and after said date interest thereon will cease to accrue.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of such redemption at least 15 days prior to the date the notice of redemption is to be sent to the Holders and shall specify in such notice whether the Trustee is to give such notice. At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 12.2, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) in immediately available funds an amount of money sufficient to redeem in immediately available funds on the redemption date all the Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption to the extent provided in Section 12.1.

If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date to the extent provided in Section 12.1) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 10.6, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption to the extent provided in Section 12.1. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; PROVIDED that any semi-annual payment of interest becoming due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.4 hereof. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate borne by the Security. SECTION 12.4 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN SECURITIES FROM ELIGIBILITY FOR SELECTION FOR REDEMPTION. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer's Certificate and delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer (other than a holder of the Securities on the Issuance Date). SECTION 12.5 PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES. In case part but not all of an Outstanding Security shall be selected for redemption, upon presentation and Surrender of such Security by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing (with due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in such form satisfactory to the Trustee) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to a, upon the order of such Holder, without change there for, for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered, a Security or Securities, at the option of such Holder, of like tenor. Fully registered Securities so presented and surrendered shall be canceled in accordance with this Indenture. ARTICLE 13 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL 13.1 OPTION. In the event either Issuer or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, directly or indirectly, is able to obtain an indication of interest from a bona fide lender of recourse financing for any use related to any aspect of TWG International's permitted line of business (other than as related to the development of an opportunity or opportunities in Bishkek), as set forth in Section 3.19 (a "Qualified Loan Agreement"), the Securityholders (or permitted assigns) shall be provided the option to act as the lender pursuant to the terms of such Qualified Loan Agreement (the "Right of First Refusal"). 13.2 TERMS. Not less than five (5) business days (the "Notice Period") following the documentation of a Qualified Loan Agreement, TWG International shall provide written notice to each Securityholder of the Qualified Loan Agreement and enclose a copy thereof. The right of the Securityholders to participate as a lender under a Qualified Loan Agreement shall be referred to herein as the "Qualified Offer". Each Securityholder desiring to so participate as a lender must so notify TWG International in writing, to be received by TWG International not less than 10 days following the expiration of the Notice Period. If the Qualified Offer is not accepted in writing by at least one Securityholder, or a permitted assign thereof, the Qualified Offer shall be deemed rejected. If at least one Securityholder, but less than all Securityholders, timely accepts the Qualified Offer, such consenting Securityholder(s) shall be provided an additional five business days thereafter to agree, on a pro rata basis, and in any combination of Securityholders, to fund the nonconsenting Securityholders' commitments under the terms of the Qualified Loan Agreement. If any combination of consenting Securityholders so agree, such Securityholders shall become the lender under the Qualified Loan Agreement. If no combination of Securityholders timely agrees to fund 100% of the sums required under the Qualified Loan Agreement, such Qualified Offer shall be deemed rejected. The terms and conditions of any Qualified Loan Agreement negotiated by the Company shall include terms taking into account the need of the Issuer to comply with the terms of this Section and shall provide the accepting Securityholders ten days within which to fund such loan amount following final acceptance pursuant to the terms hereof. 13.3 EXPIRATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. This Right of First Refusal shall expire on the earlier of (a) 18 months from the date of this Indenture, (b) the date all Obligations under this Indenture are defeased pursuant to Section 10.2, and (c) the date all Obligations are satisfied in full. 13.4 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. Should the Issuer fails to comply with the terms of this Section, such failure shall be deemed an Event of Default under the terms of this Indenture should holders of the majority of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding deem it as such by written notice to the Trustee. ARTICLE 14 SECURITY SECTION 14.1 PLEDGE AND SECURITY INTEREST. "Collateral" means all of the capital stock of TWG International and of TWG Finance and all Property of TWG Finance, including the Funding Note. All references herein to the "Security Interest" and to the "Lien of this Indenture" shall be deemed to mean and refer to the Liens granted to the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements. SECTION 14.2 SECURITY FOR OBLIGATION. The Security Interest secures among other things the payment and performance of all obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under the Securities, the Collateral Agreements or this Indenture, including without limitation the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of or interest on the Securities (all such obligations of the Issuer being herein called the "Obligations"). SECTION 14.3 PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. (a) The Issuer shall cause this Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, notifications of secured transactions and other instruments with respect to the Collateral to be promptly executed, recorded, registered and filed and to be kept recorded, registered and filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law, and take all such other actions as may be required, including delivery of possession of the Funding Note and of certificates evidencing the capital stock of TWG International and TWG Finance to the Trustee, in order to make effective the Security Interest in all personal property constituting part of the Collateral. (b) A schedule of the known Collateral Agreements may be attached hereto as an Exhibit. SECTION 14.4 NO DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL; RELEASE OF LIEN OF INDENTURE. Neither TWG International nor any Subsidiary thereof may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral, including the Capital Stock of or an interest in any of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, except pursuant to Section 3.12. TWG Finance may not sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral except at the direction of the Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements and/or the Funding Collateral Agreements. SECTION 14.5 OTHER LIENS. The Issuer will not create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for any Lien permitted by the terms hereof or of the Collateral Agreements. SECTION 14.6 TRUSTEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The Trustee shall take any action required or permitted to be taken by the Trustee under the Collateral Agreements if directed in writing to do so by the Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; provided, however, that no action shall be taken which, in the Opinion of Counsel, impairs the enforceability, priority or perfection of the Lien of this Indenture as to the Collateral then subject thereto, unless directed by all Holders. SECTION 14.7 RETURN OF COLLATERAL. Upon the payment in full of the obligations or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 10 (and the Trustee receiving written confirmation thereof satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Collateral Agreements, shall forthwith take all necessary action to return any Collateral in the Trustee's possession to the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and release the Liens thereon and Security Interests therein. SECTION 14.8 DEFAULT REMEDIES. The Trustee shall have the rights set forth in the Collateral Agreements to exercise the remedies to realize upon the Collateral set forth in the Collateral Agreements. SECTION 14.9 PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral received by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements shall be applied by the Trustee: First: to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, and its agents, attorneys and counsel, and of all charges, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee under this Indenture; Second: to the reimbursement of the Trustee for any sum advanced by the Trustee to the Issuer in order to preserve the Collateral together with interest at the rate charged publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. from time to time in New York, New York as its reference rate; and Third: as provided in Section 5.3. SECTION 14.10 DEFICIENCY. The Issuer shall remain liable for any unfulfilled obligations, together with interest thereon, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture. SECTION 14.11 TRUSTEE'S DUTIES. The powers conferred upon the Trustee by this Article 14 are solely to protect its interest and the interest of the Holders in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Trustee to exercise any such powers except as expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Collateral Agreements. The Trustee shall be under no duty to the Issuer whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties except as expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Collateral Agreements. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the obligations or Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall the Trustee be under any duty to the Issuer to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Trustee shall have no duty to the Issuer to comply with any recording, filing, or other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority or enforceability of, or the Trustee's rights in or to, any of the Collateral. SECTION 14.12 SPECIAL TRUSTEE POWERS DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. The Trustee shall have the power to settle or compromise at any time any and all claims against the Trust Estate or the Trustee (either in its corporate capacity, or in the personal capacity of the individuals serving as trust officers on behalf of the Trustee), which may be asserted by any governmental body or private party involving the alleged violation of any applicable Environmental Laws affecting the Collateral or any other property held in trust with respect to or in connection with the Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision in this subparagraph to the contrary, the Trustee may not settle or compromise any claim against the Trust Estate or the Trustee which may result in any liability being asserted against Issuer without Issuer having had a reasonable opportunity to resolve the alleged violation, which reasonable opportunity shall not exceed 60 days from the date on which Issuer shall have been notified of such alleged violation by a governmental body or a private party; provided, however, in the event that Issuer shall be in default under the Indenture or under the Collateral Agreements, then it shall have none of the rights afforded to it in this paragraph. The Trustee shall not be personally liable to the Holders or any other Person for any decrease in value of the Collateral by reason of the Trustee's compliance with any Applicable Environmental Laws (as defined in the Collateral Agreements), specifically including any reporting requirement under such law. Neither the acceptance by the Trustee of property nor failure by the Trustee to inspect property shall be deemed to create any inference as to whether or not there is or may be any liability under any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to such property. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to initiate foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Collateral, and shall not otherwise be required to acquire possession of, or take other action with respect to the Collateral which could cause the Trustee to be considered an "owner" or "operator" within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any other law dealing with the environmental matters or hazardous substances, unless the Trustee has sufficient comfort, based on previous determinations by experts on which it can rely, including environmental report, that: (a) there are no circumstances present at the Collateral relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, contaminant clean up or remedial action could be required under any environmental laws, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be nevertheless in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Holders to take such actions with respect to the Collateral; (b) if the Trustee has determined that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Holders, the Trustee must be satisfied that they will suffer no unreimbursed liabilities and will be adequately reimbursed for all liabilities, expenses and costs from available funds in Trustee's possession and control; and (c) if the Trustee has determined that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Holders to take any such action and its aforementioned liabilities, expenses and costs are adequately reimbursed, the Trustee has so notified the Holders and has not received, within 30 days of such notification, instructions from owners of fifty percent (50%) or more in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities directing it not to take such action. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied and the Trustee is not willing to waive such conditions and initiate foreclosure proceedings, then the Trustee shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate the appointment of a co-trustee, being a person or entity designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and to assign to such person or entity (subject, however, to the trusts created pursuant to the Indenture) the beneficial interest under the Collateral Agreements which secures the obligations under the Indenture, for the limited purpose of conducting a foreclosure of such Collateral Agreements and receiving and holding any title to real property obtained as a result of such foreclosure. Persons or entities appointed as co-trustees or agents of the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall not be required to meet the criteria of Section 6.9 of this Indenture, or any other criteria, in order to serve as such. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and, where appropriate, their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of March 31, 1998.
