(1)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Agency or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Agency with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it;

(2)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender;

(3)such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(4)such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(5)a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.4(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender.

(b)Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which the related Letter of Credit is proposed to be issued (or any shorter period which the Issuing Lender may agree to in its sole discretion).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender whether such Request for Letter of Credit, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant thereto, conforms to the requirements of this Agreement.  Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of the amount and terms thereof.

(c)Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata participation in such Letter of Credit from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share.  Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed by Borrowers for any payment required to be made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall, pro rata according to its Pro Rata Share, reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for the

32

amount of such payment.  The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event.  Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit together with interest as hereinafter provided.

(d)Borrowers agree to pay to the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent an amount equal to any payment made by the Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit within one Business Day after demand made by the Issuing Lender therefor, together with interest on such amount from the date of any payment made by the Issuing Lender at the rate applicable to Base Loans for three Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate.  The principal amount of any such payment shall be used to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit and, to the extent that the Lenders have not reimbursed the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the interest amount of any such payment shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender.  Each Lender that has reimbursed the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c) for its Pro Rata Share of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such reimbursement, in the claim of the Issuing Lender against Borrowers for reimbursement of principal and interest under this Section 2.4(d) and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrowers with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrowers (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender reimbursed the Issuing Lender) with respect to such claim.

(e)Borrowers may request that Advances be made pursuant to Section 2.1(a)  to provide funds for the payment required by Section 2.4(d), the Administrative Agent shall cause such Advances to be made by the Lenders and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article 9 shall not apply.  The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

(f)If Borrowers fail to make the payment required by Section 2.4(d) within the time period therein set forth, in lieu of the reimbursement to the Issuing Lender under Section 2.4(c) the Issuing Lender may (but is not required to), without notice to or the consent of Borrowers, instruct the Administrative Agent to cause Advances to be made by the Lenders as Base Advances under Section 2.1(a) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Lender with respect to that Letter of Credit and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article 9 shall not apply.  The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

(g)The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(h)The obligation of Borrowers to pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, subject only to performance by the Issuing Lender of its obligations to Borrowers under Uniform Commercial Code Section 5-108.  Without limiting

33

the foregoing, Borrowers’ obligations shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, made with the consent of Borrowers;

(iii)the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights which Borrowers may have at any time against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of the Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;

(iv)any demand, statement, or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared substantially to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

(v)payment by the Issuing Lender in good faith under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

(vi)the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any Property purported to be represented by documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or any difference between any such Property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such Property as described in such documents;

(vii)the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of Property as described in documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto;

(viii)the solvency or financial responsibility of any Person issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

(ix)any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any Property;

(x)any error in the transmission of any message relating to a Letter of Credit not caused by the Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message;

(xi)any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of the Issuing Lender in connection with a Letter of Credit;

34

(xii)any consequence arising from acts of God, war, insurrection, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender;

(xiii)so long as the Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the contract or document appears substantially to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to the Issuing Lender in connection with a Letter of Credit; and

(xiv)where the Issuing Lender has acted in good faith and observed general banking usage, any other circumstances whatsoever.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Issuing Lender.  The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(i)The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to the protection accorded to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 11, mutatis mutandis.

(j)Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(k)Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 2.4(h); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions

35

of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

2.5Voluntary Reduction of Commitment.  Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without penalty or charge, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 but not less than $5,000,000, or to terminate, all or a portion of the then undisbursed portion of the Commitment.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction or termination of the Commitment under this Section.

2.6Senior Indebtedness.  The Obligations shall be “Senior Indebtedness” with respect to all Permitted Subordinated Notes.

2.7Optional Termination of Commitment.  Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Requisite Lenders may in their sole and absolute discretion elect, during the thirty day period immediately subsequent to the later of (a) such occurrence or (b) the earlier of (i) receipt of Borrowers’ written notice to the Administrative Agent of such occurrence or (ii) if no such notice has been received by the Administrative Agent, the date upon which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge thereof, to terminate the Commitment, in which case the Commitment shall be terminated, and all Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes and the outstanding Obligations shall become due and payable, effective on the date which is thirty days subsequent to written notice from the Administrative Agent to Borrowers thereof.

2.8Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Funds Available for Advances.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 11:00 a.m., Nevada time, on the Business Day of the proposed funding by the Administrative Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the total amount of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount.  If the Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrowers based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Pro Rata Share or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

36

2.9Swing Line.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall from time to time from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date make Swing Line Loans to Borrowers in such amounts as Borrowers may request, provided that (i) after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings do not exceed $25,000,000 and the Aggregate Outstandings shall not exceed the Commitment, (ii) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default and (iii) the Swing Line Lender has not given at least twenty-four hours prior notice to Borrowers that availability under the Swing Line is suspended or terminated.  Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section without premium or penalty.  Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon telephonic request by a Responsible Official of Borrowers made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Nevada time, on the Business Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier).  Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, availability for Loans will exist under Section 2.1(a) (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier).  Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.  If Borrowers instruct the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., Nevada time, on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Loan Outstandings each time there is a change therein and promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders if it suspends or terminates availability under the Swing Line.

(b)Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Swing Line Note.  Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrowers for such interest.  The interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (d) below).

(c)The Swing Line Loans shall be payable within five Business Days after demand made by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date.

(d)Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.9(a), each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of the Swing Line Loan.  Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein.  The obligation of each Lender to provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (subject only to the making of a demand upon that Lender by the Swing Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the existence or occurrence following the making of such Swing Line Loan of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share of Swing Line Loans (i) to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $25,000,000, (ii) to the extent that the Swing Line Outstandings exceed the

37

limitations set forth in this clause (d), (iii) if that Swing Line Loan is made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an Event of Default.  Each Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrowers for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrowers with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrowers (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim.

(e)In the event that the Swing Line Outstandings are outstanding ten consecutive Business Days, then on the next Business Day (unless Borrowers have made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full), Borrowers shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 sufficient to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full.  In addition, upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless Borrowers have made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings to $0), Borrowers shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this purpose, Section 2.1(d) shall not apply).  In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the responsive Advances made by each Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply to the Swing Line Outstandings).  In the event that Borrowers so fail to request such a Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrowers, cause Advances to be made by the Lenders under the Commitment (as specified by the Administrative Agent) in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above.  The conditions precedent set forth in Article 9 shall not apply to Advances to be made by the Lenders pursuant to the three preceding sentences, but the Lenders shall not be obligated to make such Advances to the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 2.9(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) were not satisfied as to any Swing Line Loan which is part of such Swing Line Outstandings.  The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings.

2.10Collateral and Guaranty.  The Obligations shall be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents and be guaranteed by Parent pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty and by the Sibling Guarantors pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Sibling Guaranty.

38

3.6Increased Commitment Costs.  If any Lender shall determine in good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender, with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such Lender’s or such corporation’s failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten Business Days after demand of such Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified in good faith by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, provided that Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand.  Each Lender’s determination of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

3.7Eurodollar Costs and Related Matters.

(a)In the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any Lender any reserve or comparable requirement (including any emergency, supplemental or other reserve) with respect to the Eurodollar Obligations of that Lender, Borrowers shall pay that Lender within five Business Days after demand all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (determined as though such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market) in respect of the imposition of such reserve requirements (provided, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand).  The Lender’s determination of such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b)If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance:

(1)shall subject any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any Eurodollar Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Advance, any of its Notes evidencing

41

Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances (provided, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 12.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws;

(2)shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office); or

(3)shall impose on any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office or the Designated Eurodollar Market any other condition affecting any Eurodollar Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Loans, its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Advance or in respect of any Eurodollar Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office with respect to any Eurodollar Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances (assuming such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market), then, within five Business Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market).  A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrowers.  Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Eurodollar Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Base Advances on either (1) the last day of the Eurodollar Period(s) applicable to such Eurodollar Advances if such Lender

42

may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Advances to such day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a prepayment fee under Section 3.7(e).  Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrowers of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a Base Advance.  Any Lender whose obligation to make Eurodollar Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrowers of the cessation of the Special Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.

(d)If, with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Loan:

(1)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar Market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for the applicable Eurodollar Period; or

(2)the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market in the relevant amount for the applicable Eurodollar Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable Eurodollar Advances;

then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended.

(e)Upon payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Advance (other than as the result of a conversion required under Section 3.7(c)), on a day other than the last day in the applicable Eurodollar Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or upon the failure of Borrowers (for a reason other than the breach by a Lender of its obligation pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to make an Advance or the suspension of any Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under Section 3.7) to borrow on the date or in the amount specified for a Eurodollar Loan in any Request for Loan, Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Lender within ten Business Days after demand a prepayment fee or failure to borrow fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of the Eurodollar Advance had been funded in the Designated Eurodollar Market) equal to the sum of:

(1)the principal amount of the Eurodollar Advance prepaid or not borrowed, as the case may be, times [the number of days from and including the date of prepayment or failure to borrow, as applicable, to but excluding the last day in the applicable Eurodollar Period, divided by 360], times the applicable Interest

43

Differential (provided that the product of the foregoing formula must be a positive number); plus

(2)all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.

Each Lender’s determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f)Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrowers of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section, and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrowers, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the Lender.

3.8Late Payments.  If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Margin plus 2%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.  Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

3.9Computation of Interest and Fees.  Computation of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid.  Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.

3.10Non-Business Days.  If any payment to be made by Borrowers or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

3.11Manner and Treatment of Payments.

(a)Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 12.3, 12.11 and 12.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. Nevada time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day).  All payments received after such time, on any Business Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.  The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent

44

for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., Nevada time, on a Business Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate.  All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

(b)Each payment or prepayment on account of any Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Lender comprising such Loan.

(c)Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and such record shall, as against Borrowers, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the Obligations.

(d)Each payment of any amount payable by Borrowers or any other Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 12.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  To the extent that Borrowers are obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Borrowers shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender’s receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding.  If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrowers.

3.12Funding Sources.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

3.13Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver.  Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.8), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.8), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

45

3.14Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrowers.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrowers hereunder is due that Borrowers do not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrowers have remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment.  If Borrowers have not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.

3.15Fee Determination Detail.  The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrowers regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment.

3.16Survivability.  All of Borrowers’ obligations under Sections 3.6 and 3.7 shall survive for the ninety day period following the date on which the Commitment is terminated and all Loans hereunder are fully paid, and Borrowers shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such Sections made by any Lender to Borrowers prior to the expiration of that period.

46

(1)the Commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrowers and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without notice to or demand upon Borrowers, which are expressly waived by Borrowers, except that all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section 12.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, to reinstate the Commitment and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances, which waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders;

(2)the Issuing Lender may, with the approval of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite Lenders, demand immediate payment by Borrowers of an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to be held by the Issuing Lender in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral under the Third Amended and Restated Security Agreement; and

(3)the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitment and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents (other than the Secured Swap Agreements) to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers.

(b)Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(k) with respect to any Borrower:

(1)the Commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrowers and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrowers, which are expressly waived by Borrowers, except that all of the Lenders may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitment and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances, which determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders;

73

(2)an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable to the Issuing Lender without notice to or demand upon Borrowers, which are expressly waived by Borrowers, to be held by the Issuing Lender in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral under the Third Amended and Restated Security Agreement; and

(d)The order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent and of the Lenders, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate payment Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate payment Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders.  Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing Borrowers’ payment Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments of the proceeds from the exercise of the Lenders’ rights and remedies shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due the Lenders under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

Article 11
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1Appointment and Authorization.

(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article 11 and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender.

11.2Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.3Liability of Administrative Agent.  No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the

75

agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Party or any Affiliate thereof.

11.4Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b)For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article 9, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

11.5Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with Article 10; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

11.6Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Parties and their respective

76

Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

11.7Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Party and without limiting the obligation of any Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower or other relevant party.  The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitment, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

11.8Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

11.9Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender.  If the

77

Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the Closing Date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender and the respective terms “Administrative Agent,” “Issuing Lender” and “Swing Line Lender” shall mean such successor administrative agent, Issuing Lender and swing line lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring Issuing Lender’s and Swing Line Lender’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Lender to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 11 and Sections 12.3, 12.11 and 12.22 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

11.10Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4(d), (e) and (f), 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 12.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any

78

amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 12.3.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

11.11Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a)to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 12.2, all of the Lenders), or (iv) which is subject to a Lien in favor of the holder of Purchase Money Obligations incurred following the Closing Date in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement;

(b)to release any Sibling Guarantor from its obligations under the Sibling Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder and to correspondingly release any equity securities of that Sibling Guaranty which are pledged to the Administrative Agent; and

(c)to release any Lien on the Excess Land in the manner contemplated by Section 9.3.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Sibling Guarantor from its obligations under the Sibling Guaranty pursuant to this Section.

11.12Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent” or “Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Article 12
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.  The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.  The terms and conditions of Article 9 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.

12.2Amendments; Consents.  No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which any of the Parent, Borrowers or any of the Sibling Guarantors is a Party, signed by each such Party, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement to Article 11, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

(a)(i) To amend or modify the principal of, or the amount of principal, principal prepayments on any Note, (ii) to decrease the rate of interest payable on any Note, (iii) to increase the amount of the Commitment or the Pro Rata Share of any Lender, (iv) to decrease the amount of any commitment fee payable to any Lender, or any other fee or amount payable to any Lender under the Loan Documents or (v) to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrowers to pay when due principal, interest or any commitment fee or other amount payable to any Lender;

(b)To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Note or any installment of any commitment fee, or any other amount payable to any Lender, or to extend the term of the Commitment.

(c)To release the Third Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty or the Third Amended and Restated Sibling Guaranty or to materially reduce the liabilities of the Parent or the Sibling Guarantors thereunder, or to release any material portion of the Collateral except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document, provided that the Administrative Agent is authorized to release the Lien created by the Collateral Documents on (i) assets securing Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.9(d), (ii) assets which are the subject of a sale, transfer or other disposition of which is not prohibited by this Agreement, and (iii) assets that are transferred to an Affiliate which is not a Subsidiary in an Investment permitted by Section 7.15.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly release its Liens upon any assets which are the subject of the foregoing proviso upon request of Borrowers subject to such reasonable and customary requirements as the Administrative Agent may specify;

80

(d)To amend the provisions of the definition of “Requisite Lenders,” or “Maturity Date”; or

(e)To amend or waive Articles 9 or 10, this Section, or Section 7.4; or

(f)To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.2, the Administrative Agent may enter into amendments, supplements, waivers, or other modifications of the Loan Documents necessary to release of Liens permitted under Section 11.11.

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

12.3Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  Borrowers shall pay within five Business Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof.  Borrowers shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any of Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof.  Such costs and expenses shall also include, in the case of any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document requested by Borrowers, the administrative costs of the Administrative Agent reasonably attributable thereto.  Borrowers shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income imposed on it by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” or (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 12.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 12.11 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations.  Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section shall bear interest from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.

12.4Nature of Lenders’ Obligations.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan

81

Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with the Borrowers or any Affiliate of any of Borrowers.  Each Lender’s obligation to make any Advance pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, and in the case of the initial Advance only is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their obligations to make initial Advances.  A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share attributable to any other Lender.  Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so.  The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers, to replace such a Lender in default.

12.5Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

12.6Notices.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this Section.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of receipt or the fourth Business Day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered.

12.7Execution of Loan Documents.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party.  The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

12.8Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a Party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrowers may not assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders.  Any attempted assignment by any Borrower in

82

contravention of this Section 12.8(a) shall be void ab initio.  Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender).  Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

(b)From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender (including any Approved Fund of that Lender), shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent, and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrowers (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, together with an assignment processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 12.8, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000, and (iv) the Closing Date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment and Assumption, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment and Assumption.  Upon the Closing Date of such Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share therein set forth and, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement.  Borrowers agree that they shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrowers of its Note) to such assignee Lender, a Note evidencing that assignee Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and to the assigning Lender, a Note evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata Share retained by the assigning Lender.

(c)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance by Borrowers of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will

83

perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share held by each Lender, giving effect to each Assignment and Assumption.  The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Share listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Pro Rata Share shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment and Assumption effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above.  Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Share shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Share.

(e)Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (including another Lender) in a portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that (i) such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Borrowers in writing at least five Business Days in advance of granting such a participation, which notice shall identify the proposed participant, (ii) the proposed participant (if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the granting Lender) shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrowers (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iv) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (v) the participating Lenders or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 3.6, 3.7, 12.11 and 12.22 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrowers does not exceed the cost which Borrowers would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation, (vi) Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vii) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitment, or in the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (viii) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which require the consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to Section 12.2. Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, any Lender may grant participations to any Person without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Lender, provided that (y) notwithstanding clause (viii) above, the consent of any such Person holding a participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents, and (z) each Lender which grants any such participation shall vote its entire Pro Rata Share either affirmatively or negatively in any matters which arise while any such participation is outstanding.

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, their Pro Rata Shares shall be

84

subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, and to compliance with applicable securities laws.

12.9Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) may (a) exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrowers and/or any Property of Borrowers in its possession against the Obligations.

12.10Sharing of Setoffs.  Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, Lender’s lien or counterclaim against Borrowers, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws:  (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrowers or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrowers, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest.  Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.  Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

12.11Indemnity by Borrowers.  Borrowers agree to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agents and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against:  (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.11(d)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrowers, their Affiliates or any of their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitment, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of Borrowers and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee shall be

85

entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee.  If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrowers, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrowers’ right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided.  Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrowers in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrowers to participate in such contest.  Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrowers may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrowers written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrowers’ prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrowers; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrowers, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the foregoing).  Any obligation or liability of Borrowers to any Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

12.12Nonliability of the Lenders.  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that:

(a)Any inspections of any Property of Borrowers made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrowers are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrowers);

(b)By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

(c)The relationship between Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrowers or their Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrowers or their Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary

86

duty to Borrowers or their Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrowers or their Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrowers or their Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrowers or their Affiliates; Borrowers and their Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrowers nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

(d)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrowers and/or its Affiliates and Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 12.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

12.13No Third Parties Benefited.  This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns.  Except as provided in Sections 12.8 and 12.11, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

12.14Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender the Issuing Lender and each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure:  (a) to other Lenders; (b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrowers or any Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrowers or any Lender, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e) to any Gaming Board having regulatory jurisdiction over Parent or its Subsidiaries, provided that each Lender agrees to notify Borrowers of any such disclosure unless prohibited by applicable Laws; (f) as required by Law or legal process, provided that each Lender agrees to notify Borrowers of any such disclosures unless prohibited by applicable Laws, or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and any of Borrowers are adverse parties; (g) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Lender’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Note, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section; (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners; and (i) to a nationally-recognized credit rating agency provided that each Lender agrees to notify Borrowers of any such disclosures.  For purposes of the foregoing, “confidential information” shall mean any information respecting Parent or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by Borrowers to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by Borrowers to any Person not associated with Borrowers without a confidentiality agreement or obligation substantially similar to this Section.  Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Borrowers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “confidential information” shall not include, and the Borrowers, the Parent, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and each authorized employee, representative, or other authorized person thereof) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the “tax

87

treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Borrowers, the Parent, the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby.

12.15Further Assurances.  Parent, Borrowers and the Sibling Guarantors shall, at their expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Collateral Document.

12.16Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and the letter agreements referred to in Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

12.17Governing Law.  Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of California applicable to contracts made and performed in California.

12.18Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

12.19Headings.  Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

12.20Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

12.21Foreign Lenders and Participants.

(a)Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor

88

thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code.  Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (i) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (iii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrowers make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.

(b)Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (ii) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

(c)The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender (i) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 12.21(c) shall relieve the Borrowers of its obligation to pay any such amounts in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(d)The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents

89

with respect to which the Borrowers are not required to pay additional amounts under this Section.

(e)Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9.  If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction.

(f)If any Governmental Agency asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent.  The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitment, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

12.22Hazardous Material Indemnity.  Each of Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrowers), arising directly or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in, under or about any Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Parent, the Borrowers, the Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by any such Person or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors thereof, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Real Property, in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property.  The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any Real Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous Materials on any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.  Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrowers under this Section (and under Sections 4.18 and 6.10) shall be unlimited corporate obligations of Borrowers and shall not be secured by any Lien on any Real Property.  Any obligation or liability of Borrowers to any Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

12.23Gaming Boards.  The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agree to cooperate with all Gaming Boards in connection with the administration of their regulatory

90

jurisdiction over Borrowers and its Subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Board relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or to the Loan Documents.

12.24Joint and Several.  Each of Borrowers shall be obligated for all of the Obligations on a joint and several basis, notwithstanding which of Borrowers may have directly received the proceeds of any particular Loan or the benefit from the issuance of any Letter of Credit.  Each of Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of the Loan Documents, Borrowers constitute a single integrated financial enterprise and that each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement to all of Borrowers.  Each of Borrowers waive all defenses arising under the Laws of suretyship, to the extent such Laws are applicable, in connection with its joint and several obligations under this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of Borrowers agrees to the Joint Borrower Provisions set forth in Exhibit H, incorporated by this reference.

12.25WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

12.26Purported Oral Amendments.  BORROWERS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE A PARTY MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 12.2.  BORROWERS AGREE THAT THEY WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 12.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

12.27Judicial Reference.  The parties to this Agreement prefer that any dispute between or among them be resolved in litigation subject to a jury trial waiver as set forth in Section 12.25.  If, however, any party believes that under applicable law a pre-dispute jury trial waiver of the type provided for in Section 12.25 is, or may be, unenforceable in litigation to resolve any dispute, claim, cause of action or controversy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (each, a “Claim”), then, upon the written request of such party, such Claim, including any and all questions of law or fact relating thereto, shall be determined exclusively by a judicial reference proceedingpursuant to California Civil Procedure Code section 638.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.25, venue for any such reference proceeding shall be in the state or federal court in the County or District where venue is appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).  The parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall be a retired state or federal judge.  If the parties cannot agree upon a referee, the Court shall appoint the referee.  The referee shall report a statement of decision to the

91

Court.  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral or obtain provisional remedies.  The parties shall bear the fees and expenses of the referee equally unless the referee orders otherwise.  The referee also shall determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this Section 12.26.  The parties acknowledge that any Claim determined by reference pursuant to this Section 12.26shall not be adjudicated by a jury.

12.28USA PATRIOT ACT.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Parent and each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Parent and each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Parent and each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Parent and the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
