The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby further waive any Default or Event of Default which may have occurred and may be, or may have been, continuing as a result of the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver updated budgets for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2010 pursuant to Section 5.03(d) (Annual Budgets) of the Credit Agreement and acknowledge that the Borrower has since delivered such financial information to the Administrative Agent on or before the date hereof.

3.2 Hedge Agreements.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each Loan Party, hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, with respect to all Loan Parties, and, solely with respect to Section 4.2 as to Parent, Parent represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, as follows:

4.1 Incorporation of Representations and Warranties from Credit Agreement. After giving effect to this Amendment, each of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and in the other Loan Documents are correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the date hereof, other than any such representations and warranties that by their express terms refer to a specific date.

4.2 Corporate Power and Authority. Parent and each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and each Loan Party, and this Amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and each Loan Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

4.3 Absence of Default. At the time of and as a result of giving effect to this Amendment and after giving effect to the full $25,000,000 Parent Qualified Contribution made pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement prior to the date of this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL COVENANT AND AGREEMENT

-16-


Subsidiaries shall neither exercise nor have the benefit of the Cure Right or any other benefit contained in Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement with respect to any Default or Event of Default, whether such Default or Event of Default arose before, on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent the Cure Right was exercised prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 6. CONDITION SUBSEQUENT

6.1 Deposit Account Control Agreements. To the extent not violative of Gaming Laws or other Applicable Laws and to the extent not already received by the Administrative Agent as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, within 60 days of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent Control Agreements (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) for all of their Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, and Commodity Accounts (as such terms are defined in the Security Agreement) not held with Administrative Agent, each in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. At the request of Administrative Agent, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall promptly, but in any case within 60 days of such request, move all of their Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, and Commodity Accounts (as such terms are defined in the Security Agreement) to the Administrative Agent or an affiliate thereof acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The failure by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries to timely perform or cause to be performed the covenant set forth in this Section 6 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

6.2 Perfection Certificate. Within 30 days of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Perfection Certificate duly executed by the Loan Parties, together with all corresponding schedules, which shall be true and complete as of such date.

-18-


(b) Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, or constitute a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document (as amended hereby) except as and to the extent expressly set forth herein.

(d) The Borrower and (by its acknowledgement hereof as set forth on the signature pages hereto) each other Loan Party, hereby confirms that the guaranties, security interests and liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents continue to guarantee and secure the Obligations as set forth in the Loan Documents and that such guaranties, security interests and liens remain in full force and effect.

8.5 Loan Document and Integration.
