the Trustee will cancel the Restricted Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of, in the case of clause (1) above, the appropriate Restricted Global Note, in the case of clause (2) above, the 144A Global Note, in the case of clause (3) above, the Regulation S Global Note, in the case of clause (5) above, the IAI Global Note, and in the case of clause (7) above, the Unrestricted Definitive Note.

Section 2.07.    Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Authority and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Authority shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note in accordance with this Indenture. If required by the Trustee or the Authority, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Authority to protect the Authority, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Authority may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Authority and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08.    Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Authority or an Affiliate of the Authority holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Authority, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09.    Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Authority, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Authority, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee

shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10.    Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Authority may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Authority considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Authority shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11.    Cancellation.

The Authority at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Authority. The Authority may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12.    Defaulted Interest.

If the Authority defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Authority shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Authority shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Authority (or, upon the written request of the Authority, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Authority) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13.    CUSIP Numbers.

The Authority in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Authority will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.14.    Ranking.

The Notes rank senior in right of payment to the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes and the New Senior Subordinated Notes and the Junior Relinquishment Payment (as defined in the Relinquishment Agreement).

Section 3.02.    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes for redemption in compliance with any requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed as set forth in the Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof or, if the Notes are not so listed or if the requirements are not set forth in such Officer’s Certificate, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Authority in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03.    Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Authority shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(a)    the Redemption Date;

(b)    the redemption price;

(c)    if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(d)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(e)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(f)    that, unless the Authority defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes or portions of them called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(g)    the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(h)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

At the Authority’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Authority’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Authority shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price.

One Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Authority shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Authority any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Authority in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Authority complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note

was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Authority to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Authority shall issue and, upon the Authority’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Authority a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07.    Optional Redemption.

(ii)    the Applicable Premium;

plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

(b)    At any time or from time to time on or after November 1, 2014, the Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth in the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

Section 3.08.    Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Law.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 3, if any Gaming Regulatory Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable gaming laws in order for the Authority to obtain or maintain any gaming license or franchise of the Authority, and the Holder or beneficial owner does not obtain such license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so by such Gaming Regulatory Authority (or such lesser period that may be required by such Gaming Regulatory Authority) or if such Holder or beneficial owner is not so licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Authority has the right, at its option, (i) to require such Holder or beneficial owner to dispose of such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s Notes within 30 days of receipt of such finding by the applicable Gaming Regulatory Authority (or such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Gaming Regulatory Authority); or (ii) to call for redemption of the Notes of such Holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (1) the principal amount thereof and (2) the price at which such Holder or beneficial owner acquired the Notes together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Regulatory Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so ordered by such Gaming Regulatory Authority.

(b)    In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.08, and except as may be

required by a Gaming Regulatory Authority, the Authority shall comply with Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

(c)    The Authority shall not be required to pay or reimburse any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs of the licensure or investigation for such qualification or finding of suitability. Such expenses shall be the obligation of such Holder or beneficial owner.

Section 3.09.    Mandatory Redemption.

The Authority shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.10.    Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Authority shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 business days following its commencement (the “Offer Period”) and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law. No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Authority shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(g)    that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Authority, the depositary or the paying agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(h)    that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Authority shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Authority so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, or, in the case of Additional Notes denominations of $1.00 or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and

(i)    that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

The Authority, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Authority for purchase, and the Authority shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Authority shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Authority to the Holder thereof. The Authority shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

If at any time the Authority shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

(b)    The Authority may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Authority of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Authority shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c)    The Authority hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Authority in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

Section 4.03.    Reports.

(a)    Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Authority will file a copy of each of the following reports with the SEC for public availability (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing, in which case the Authority will otherwise publicly post such reports) and will furnish to the Holders and the Trustee (in each case which may be deemed to be accomplished by electronic transmission via the SEC’s EDGAR system or any successor

system thereto or by posting to the publicly available website of the Authority) within 15 days after the end of the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for filings of current, quarterly and annual reports:

(i)    all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Authority were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Authority and its consolidated subsidiaries (showing in reasonable detail, either on the face of the consolidated financial statements or in the footnotes thereto and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the financial condition and results of operations of the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Authority, to the extent that would be required by the rules, regulations or interpretive positions of the SEC) and, with respect to the annual report only, a report thereon by the Authority’s independent registered public accounting firm; and

(ii)    all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Authority were required to file such reports.

(b)    So long as any Notes remain outstanding, at any time that the Authority is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Authority will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective purchasers of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c)    The Authority shall file with the Trustee and provide to Holders (which may be deemed to be made by electronic transmission via the SEC’s EDGAR system or any successor system thereto), within 15 days after it files them with the NIGC, copies of all reports which the Authority is required to file with the NIGC pursuant to 25 C.F.R. Part 514.

(d)    The Authority and each Restricted Subsidiary shall furnish to the Collateral Agent prompt notice (but in any event not more than thirty (30) days after any change referred to herein) of any change in: (i) the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary’s legal name; (ii) the location of the Authority’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s chief executive office or its principal place of business; (iii) the Authority’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of incorporation or formation (in each case, including by merging with or into any other entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reorganizing or organizing in any other jurisdiction); or (iv) the Authority’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number assigned to it by its state of organization. The Authority and each Restricted Subsidiary agree (A) not to effect or permit any such change unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) or otherwise that are required in order for Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens) and (B) to take all action required to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral intended to be granted hereunder. The Authority and each Restricted Subsidiary agrees to promptly provide Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence. Collateral Agent may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in this Section 4.03(a). Collateral Agent shall

have no duty to inquire about such changes.

Section 4.04.    Compliance Certificate.

(a)    The Authority and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor would be so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Authority and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Authority has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Authority has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Authority is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Authority is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b)    So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Authority’s independent public accountants (who shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Authority has violated any provisions of this Article 4 or Article 5 hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

(c)    The Authority shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Authority is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05.    Taxes.

The Authority shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06.    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Authority covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Authority (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by

resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07.    Restricted Payments.

(a)    The Authority will not, and the Authority will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to: (i) make any payment on or with respect to any of the Authority’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests; (ii) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interest in the Authority or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Authority; (iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Indebtedness, except a payment of interest or principal up to 90 days prior to the Stated Maturity thereof; (iv) make any payment or distribution to the Tribe (or any agency, instrumentality or political subunit or Subsidiary (other than the Authority and its Subsidiaries) thereof) or make any general distribution to the members of the Tribe; or (v) make any Restricted Investment; other than, in each case, Government Service Payments (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) (exclusive of Government Service Payments) are collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments” and all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) (exclusive of Government Service Payments) are collectively referred to as “Equity Restricted Payments”) unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(A)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(B)    the Authority would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof;

(C)    such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07(b) hereof), is less than the sum, without duplication, of (1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Authority for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date to the end of the Authority’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal consolidated financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus (2) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds or fair market value (as determined in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Management Board and evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of assets or property (other than cash) received by the Authority after the Issue Date from capital contributions from the Tribe that bear no mandatory obligation to repay the Tribe, plus (3) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of, the lesser of (I) the cash or fair market value (as determined in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Management Board and evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of assets other than cash received with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (II) the initial amount of such

Restricted Investment, plus (4) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the lesser of (I) the fair market value of the Authority’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation and (II) such fair market value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

(D)    solely with respect to Equity Restricted Payments, the Authority has paid in full, in cash, the last three interest payments due in respect of the New Senior Subordinated Notes, if outstanding immediately prior to such Restricted Payment, and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Authority intends to pay in full, in cash, the interest in respect of the New Senior Subordinated Notes during the following twelve month period based on the Authority’s then current business plan.

(b)    The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

(i) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(ii) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority to the holders of its common Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(iii) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority held by any member of the Authority’s (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’) management pursuant to any management equity subscription agreement or stock option agreement in effect as of the Issue Date; provided that (a) the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $1.0 million in any 12-month period and (b) the aggregate amount of all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not in the aggregate exceed $3.0 million;

(iv) the redemption or purchase of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Authority in the event that the holder of such Subordinated Indebtedness has failed to be licensed, qualified or found suitable or otherwise be eligible by any Gaming Regulatory Authority to remain a holder of such Subordinated Indebtedness;

(v) the redemption, defeasance, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent capital contribution from the Tribe (provided that such capital contribution is not counted for purposes of Section 4.07(a)(C)(2) hereof);

(vi) the redemption, defeasance, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes;

(vii) the redemption, defeasance, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness in connection with any repurchase offer related to an Asset Sale or Change of Control but only if the Authority shall have complied with Section 4.10 hereof and purchased all Notes validly tendered in connection therewith prior to the redemption of such Subordinated Indebtedness;

(viii) payments to the Tribe (or any agency, instrumentality or political subunit thereof) on account of Indebtedness of the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary held by the Tribe (or any agency, instrumentality or political subunit thereof) at the Stated Maturity thereof;

(ix) any other Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million at any one time outstanding; provided, that no Equity Restricted Payments may be made pursuant to this clause (ix) prior to April 1, 2015; not more than $12.5 million in Equity Restricted Payments shall be made pursuant to this clause (ix) prior to January 15, 2016; and not more than $25.0 million in Equity Restricted Payments shall be made pursuant to this clause (ix) in the aggregate at any time;

(x) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Authority that does not constitute a Permitted Investment, provided that (A) the Authority delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to the fairness to the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary of the price of such repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value, from a financial point of view, and (B) in the aggregate, all such repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value do not exceed $1.0 million; and

(xi) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interest in any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Authority to the extent that such purchase or acquisition constitutes a Permitted Investment;

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (i), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) (other than in respect of Indebtedness under a bond indenture or syndicated loan agreement) or (ix), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

(c)    The Authority may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default; provided that in no event shall any Key Project Assets or Gaming Licenses be transferred to an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided further that Gaming Licenses unrelated to the Resort or Pocono Downs may be transferred to an Unrestricted Subsidiary, so long as at the time and after giving effect to such transfer (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and (ii) the Authority would, at the time of such transfer and after giving pro forma effect thereto, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof. In the event of such designation, all outstanding Investments owned by the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof unless the Investment constitutes a Permitted Investment (in which case, such Investment will reduce the amount available for Permitted Investments, as applicable); provided, that in the event that Mohegan Gaming or Salishan Mohegan LLC shall become a Subsidiary and shall be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, any Investments in Mohegan Gaming or Salishan Mohegan LLC, as the case may be, outstanding as of the Issue Date and still outstanding as of the date of such designation shall be excluded from such calculation and shall not be deemed to be an Investment or Restricted Payment and shall not reduce the amount otherwise available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments. Except as set forth above with respect to Mohegan Gaming and Salishan Mohegan LLC, all such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Restricted Payments (or Permitted Investments, as the case may be) in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation will only be permitted if

such Restricted Payment (or Permitted Investment, as the case may be) would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Authority may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if such redesignation would not otherwise cause a Default.

(d)    The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than in the form of cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.07 shall be determined in good faith by the Management Board whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee.

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Authority will not, and the Authority will not permit any Guarantor, to make any Equity Restricted Payment or Priority Distribution to the Tribe to the extent the same would result in a violation of the Third Lien Debt Documents (as in effect on the date hereof).

Section 4.08.    Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)    Except as set forth in Section 4.08(b) hereof, the Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or advances to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Authority or any of the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b)    The provisions of Section 4.08(a) hereof will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(ii)    the Notes and the Credit Documents;

(iii)    applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

(iv)    any agreement or other instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a

Person acquired by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(v)    customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses or other contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

(vi)    purchase money obligations (including, without limitation, Capital Lease Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(iii) hereof;

(vii)    contracts or agreements for the sale of assets that impose restrictions on the transfer of such assets and any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(viii)    Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the applicable restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(ix)    any provision of secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 4.09 and 4.12 hereof that limits the right of the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to dispose of the assets subject to the Liens securing such Indebtedness;

(x)    provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xi)    restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

(xii)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Authority or any Guarantor that is incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof containing applicable encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive than the encumbrances and restrictions in effect on the Issue Date pursuant to this Indenture or the Bank Credit Facility.

Section 4.09.    Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a)    The Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Authority will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Authority may

incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue Disqualified Stock and the Authority’s Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock if (i) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Authority’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal consolidated financial statements are available would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as applicable, at the beginning of such four-quarter period, (ii) the Authority paid in full, in cash, the last interest payment due in respect of the New Senior Subordinated Notes, if then outstanding, immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued, as applicable, and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Authority intends to pay in full, in cash, the interest in respect of the New Senior Subordinated Notes during the following twelve month period based on the Authority’s current business plan, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would result from such incurrence of Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority will not issue any Disqualified Stock or any type of Capital Stock that would violate IGRA.

(i)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Priority Lien Debt, or any Replacement thereof (whether or not secured), in each case as the same may be amended, restated, modified, renewed, refunded, Replaced, increased or refinanced from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Authority and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed at any time outstanding $700.0 million, plus the amount of any premium incurred in refinancing Permitted Priority Lien Debt, minus the amount of Permitted Priority Lien Debt since the Issue Date (1) retired with the Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Event of Loss applied to permanently reduce the outstanding amounts of Permitted Priority Lien Debt pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof or (2) assumed by a transferee in an Asset Sale;

(ii)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

(iii)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (including the Guarantees) issued on the Issue Date;

(iv)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of real property, furniture, fixtures, equipment or similar assets used or useful in the business of the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary not to exceed 100% of the lesser of cost and fair market value of the assets financed, together with any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, in an aggregate principal amount under this clause (iv) not to exceed $125.0 million at any time outstanding;

(v)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of (a) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance, renew, extend, defease or Replace Indebtedness that was permitted by this

Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) hereof or clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 4.09(b) or this clause (v) and (b) Incremental Third Lien Refinancing Indebtedness;

(vi)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging and Swap Obligations that are incurred to manage interest rates or currency exchange rates or interest rate or currency exchange rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding and not for speculative purposes;

(vii)    the guarantee by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness of the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09;

(viii)    the incurrence by (1) a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness owed to another Restricted Subsidiary or to the Authority or (2) the Authority of Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, in each case, if at any time any such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, any such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for the purposes of this Section 4.09;

(ix)    the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed $25.0 million;

(x)    to the extent that such incurrence does not result in the incurrence by the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others and does not result in an encumbrance of any Collateral, Indebtedness incurred solely as a result of the execution by the Authority or its Restricted Subsidiaries of a Completion Guarantee and Keep-Well Agreement; and

(xi)    any guarantee of Indebtedness of another Person to the extent constituting a Permitted Investment incurred pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof;

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to clause (iv), (v), (vi), (ix), (x) or (xi), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence of such incurrence, except that the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default alone shall not prohibit the incurrence by the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under clause (iv) in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a contractual obligation entered into prior to the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09 in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xi) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Authority shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that if such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien, such Lien would be permitted to be incurred to secure such reclassified Indebtedness as of the date of reclassification in accordance with Section 4.12. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest on the New Senior Subordinated Notes or any Replacement thereof in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred

Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09.

Section 4.10.    Asset Sales.

(a)    The Authority will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: (i) the Authority (or its Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Management Board and, in the case of any Asset Sale involving consideration (A) in excess of $5.0 million, evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (B) in excess of $25.0 million, evidenced by an opinion as to the fairness to the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Asset Sale, from a financial point of view, issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; (ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (A) any liabilities that would appear on the Authority’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Authority or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 30 days of the receipt thereof; and (iii) in the case of any Asset Sale after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default as a result of (x) a failure of the Authority to make any payment required in respect of the Notes (including without limitation any interest payment) or (y) a failure by the Tribe, the Authority or any Guarantor to comply with any negative covenant in this Indenture, the aggregate value of any Asset Sales after such Default or Event of Default shall not exceed $50.0 million; provided, however, that the Authority will not be permitted to make any Asset Sale of Key Project Assets.

(b)    Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral or Capital Stock of a Guarantor, the Authority may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option, to (i) (1) retire Indebtedness secured by the asset which was the subject of the Asset Sale, (2) retire, repay and permanently reduce Permitted Priority Lien Debt or the Notes; provided that in the case of a revolving loan agreement or similar arrangement, the commitment with respect thereto is permanently reduced by such amount, or (3) retire, repay and permanently reduce other senior secured Indebtedness; provided that the Notes are retired or repaid on a pro rata basis; (ii) acquire the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, an entity engaged in the Principal Business or a Related Business; (iii) make capital expenditures or acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in the Principal Business or a Related Business; (iv) make an investment in the Principal Business or a Related Business or in tangible long-term assets used or useful in the Principal Business or a Related Business; or (v) repay permanently Indebtedness that is not Subordinated Indebtedness.

(c)    Within 360 days following an Asset Sale of assets that constitute Collateral or Capital Stock of a Guarantor, Net Proceeds therefrom shall be (A) applied to acquire assets and property that are used or useful in the Principal Business or a Related Business, which will constitute Collateral and be

made subject to the Liens created under the Security Documents, (B) applied to acquire Excluded Assets constituting any gaming license, authorization or permit and related Books and Records so long as such assets are held by the Authority or a Guarantor, (C) applied to acquire assets that constitute Excluded Assets under clause (h) of the definition of “Excluded Assets” herein; provided that Net Proceeds from any such Asset Sale so applied shall not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate; and provided, further, that after giving effect to such transaction the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio shall be no worse than the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio on the Issue Date, (D) applied to acquire Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Principal Business or a Related Business if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person becomes a Guarantor or is merged into or consolidated with the Authority or a Guarantor, or (E) applied to retire, repay and permanently reduce Permitted Priority Lien Debt, other Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Prior Lien on the applicable Collateral, or the Notes; provided that in the case of a revolving credit facility or similar arrangement, the commitments thereunder are permanently reduced by the amount of the Net Proceeds so applied.

(d)    Within 360 days following an Event of Loss, Net Proceeds therefrom shall be used as follows: (1) first, the Authority shall use such Net Proceeds to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate to rebuild, repair, replace or restore the assets subject to such Event of Loss with comparable assets and such comparable assets will immediately constitute Collateral and be made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents and (2) then, to the extent any Net Proceeds from an Event of Loss are not used as described in the preceding clause (1), all such remaining Net Proceeds shall be reinvested or used as provided in clause (A) or (E) of Section 4.10(c) hereof.

Pending the final application of Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Event of Loss, the Authority may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. At any time during such 360-day period, the Authority may elect to treat all or any portion of such Net Proceeds as “Collateral Excess Proceeds” or “Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds,” as applicable, and make an Asset Sale Offer to the Holders as set forth in Sections 3.10, 4.10(e) and (f) hereof in satisfaction of the obligation to make such offer as set forth in Sections 4.10(e) and (f) hereof, as applicable.

(e)    Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of assets that do not constitute Collateral or Capital Stock of a Guarantor that are not applied or invested as provided in Sections 4.10(b) or (d) will be deemed to constitute “Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Authority will make an offer to repurchase the Notes, together with any senior Indebtedness ranking pari passu in right of payment with the Notes and containing similar provisions requiring the Authority to make an offer to purchase such pari passu senior Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any), pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of such pari passu senior Indebtedness (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) and the Notes (the “Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer” and, together with the Collateral Asset Sale Offer, each an “Asset Sale Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (or, in respect of such pari passu senior Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such pari passu senior Indebtedness) (the “Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer Price”). The Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for at least 20 Business Days following its commencement. The Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer Price will be payable in cash, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or such pari passu senior Indebtedness, as applicable. To the extent that any Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of a Non-

Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the Authority may use such Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such pari passu senior Indebtedness tendered into such Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such pari passu senior Indebtedness (to the extent that such senior Indebtedness permits such selection) to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(f)    Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of assets that constitute Collateral or Capital Stock of a Guarantor that are not applied or invested as provided in Sections 4.10(c) or (d) will be deemed to constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Authority will make an offer to repurchase the Notes, together with any Parity Lien Debt containing similar provisions requiring the Authority to make an offer to purchase such Parity Lien Debt with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any), pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of such Parity Lien Debt (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) and the Notes (the “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (or, in respect of such Parity Lien Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Parity Lien Debt) (the “Collateral Asset Sale Offer Price”). The Collateral Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for at least 20 business days following its commencement. The Collateral Asset Sale Offer Price will be payable in cash, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or such Parity Lien Debt, as applicable. To the extent that any Collateral Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the Authority may use such Collateral Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Parity Lien Debt tendered into such Collateral Asset Sale Offer surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and Parity Lien Debt (to the extent that such Parity Lien Debt permits such selection) to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

disinterested members of the Management Board; and (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Authority or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction (or series of related Affiliate Transactions) from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

such existence, license, right or franchise, if its Management Board or Board of Directors, or other governing body or officers authorized to make such determination, as the case may be, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Authority or any Restricted Subsidiary, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

(b)    Subject to the provisions described in Section 13.01 hereof, the Authority shall do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to perform any material covenants set forth in the Lease in order to keep the Lease in full force and effect.

In the Change of Control Offer, the Authority will offer a payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase.

(b)    Within 20 Business Days following any Change of Control, the Authority will deliver a notice to each Holder (and, unless the Trustee makes the mailing on behalf of the Authority, to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is electronically delivered or mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice.

(c)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Authority will, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Authority.

(d)    The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 4.28.    Suspension of Covenants.

Following the first date upon which the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) (or, in either case, if such person ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Authority, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act) selected by the Authority as a replacement agency) (the “Rating Event Date”) and provided no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the Rating Event Date, the covenants specifically listed under Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.18, Section 4.20, Section 4.24 and Section 4.25 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will no longer be applicable to the Notes; provided, however, that in the event that at any time after a Rating Event Date, the Notes shall be rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s or lower than BBB- by S&P, or any equivalent rating by a successor agency to Moody’s or S&P, the Suspended Covenants shall be automatically reinstated (the “Reinstated Covenants”) with respect to the Notes and all transactions by the Authority that occurred during the time that such covenants were suspended (the “Suspension Period”) and that would have violated such covenants had such covenants been in effect at the time shall be deemed not to constitute a Default or Event of Default, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to have been in compliance with such covenants for all purposes; provided further that thereafter all transactions by the Authority occurring on or after the date on which

the Suspended Covenants have been reinstated (such date, the “Reinstatement Date”) shall be required to be in compliance with the Reinstated Covenants. For purposes of interpreting the definition of “Permitted Liens” during the time any Suspended Covenants are suspended, the definition should be read as if the Suspended Covenants were not so suspended. Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof will be made as though such covenant had been in effect from the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof to the extent provided therein.

Section 4.29.    Maintenance of Properties.

Section 4.30.    Defense of Credit Documents.

If any Person commences any action or proceeding seeking to characterize any of the Credit Documents or any interest thereunder, for any reason (i) as constituting, creating or providing a “proprietary interest” in gaming activities or gaming operations or (ii) constituting a “management contract” or a “management agreement”, in either case in violation of IGRA, the Authority will, at its own cost, object to any such characterization and support and defend the Credit Documents, individually and collectively, as not creating providing or constituting any “proprietary interest” in gaming activities and not constituting a “management contract” or a “management agreement”, in either case in violation of IGRA or any other Law.

Section 5.01.    Liquidation or Dissolution.

(a)    The Authority shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person (other than a consolidation or merger with a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Authority in which the Authority is the surviving entity and in connection with which the Authority takes all actions required by the Security Documents to perfect, assure and confirm the Liens intended to be conferred thereunder).

(b)    Subject to the foregoing subsection (a) and the provisions of Sections 4.10 and 10.03 hereof, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor

unless (A) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Credit Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture, security documents and/or joinders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (provided that none of such documents shall contain provisions that conflict with the limitations in Section 13.01) and takes all actions required by the Security Documents to perfect, assure and confirm the Liens intended to be conferred thereunder; and (B) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; provided, any Guarantor may merge with or into another Guarantor.

Section 6.02.    Acceleration.

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Authority, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Authority, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Authority with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Authority would have to pay if the Authority had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 6.03.    Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture, or the Security Documents.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (other than nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of an acceleration that has been rescinded) in the payment of premium, if any, or interest on, or the principal of, the Notes, including in connection with an offer to purchase. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist with respect to the Notes, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to the Notes for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05.    Control by Majority.

Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06.    Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

(a)    the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)    the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c)    such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(e)    during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

Section 6.07.    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Authority for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Authority (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10.    Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof,

including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Authority or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11.    Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 7.01.    Duties of Trustee.

(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)    the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

(ii)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

(d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.

(e)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

(f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Authority. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g)    Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.03 hereof is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Authority’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 7.02.    Rights of Trustee.

(a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c)    The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d)    The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

(e)    Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Authority shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Authority.

(f)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)    Except with respect to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Authority’s covenants in Article 4 or Article 12 hereof. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) or (b) or Section 4.01 hereof or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge.

(h)    The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee may, in its discretion, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Authority personally or by agent or attorney during regular business hours.

(i)    In the absence of a written direction to do so received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof from Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and indemnification from such Holders for any costs incurred by the Trustee in acting pursuant to such direction, the Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into or to determine whether the Authority has taken any “willful action” under Section 6.02 hereof.

Section 7.03.    Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Authority or any Affiliate of the Authority with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Authority’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Authority or upon the Authority’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05.    Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06.    Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the Issue Date, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail or other method all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Authority and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Authority shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

At the expense of the Authority, the Trustee or, if the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar, shall report the names of record Holders to any Gaming Regulatory Authority when requested to do so by the Authority.

At the express direction of the Authority and at the Authority’s expense, the Trustee will provide any Gaming Regulatory Authority with:

(i)    copies of all notices, reports and other written communications which the Trustee gives to Holders;

(ii)    a list of all of the Holders promptly after the original issuance of the Notes and periodically thereafter if the Authority so directs;

(iii)    notice of any Default under this Indenture, any acceleration of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby, the institution of any legal actions or proceedings before any court or governmental authority in respect of a Default or Event of Default hereunder;

(iv)    notice of the removal or resignation of the Trustee within five Business Days of the effectiveness thereof;

(v)    notice of any transfer or assignment of rights under this Indenture known to the Trustee within five Business Days thereof; and

(vi)    a copy of any amendment to the Notes or this Indenture within five Business Days of the effectiveness thereof.

To the extent requested by the Authority and at the Authority’s expense, the Trustee shall cooperate with any Gaming Regulatory Authority in order to provide such Gaming Regulatory Authority with the information and documentation requested and as otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity.

The Authority shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Authority shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Authority shall indemnify the Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Authority (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Authority or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Authority promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Authority shall not relieve the Authority of its obligations hereunder. The Authority shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Authority shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Authority need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Authority under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

To secure the Authority’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA §313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Authority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Notes then outstanding

may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Authority in writing. The Authority may remove the Trustee if:

(a)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

(b)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(c)    a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Authority.

If any Gaming Regulatory Authority requires a Trustee to be approved, licensed or qualified and the Trustee fails or declines to do so, such approval, license or qualification shall be obtained upon the request of, and at the expense of, the Authority unless the Trustee declines to do so, or, if the Trustee’s relationship with the Authority may, in the Authority’s discretion, jeopardize any material gaming license or franchise or right or approval granted thereto, the Trustee shall resign, and, in addition, the Trustee may at its option resign if the Trustee in its sole discretion determines not to be so approved, licensed or qualified.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Authority, or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Notes then outstanding, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Authority. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Authority’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09.    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the trust created by this Indenture) to, another corporation, the

successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 8.01.    Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes when:

(1)    either:

(a)    all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Authority) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b)    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Authority, and in each case the Authority has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of any such deposit or shall occur as a result of any such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Authority is a party or by which it is bound;

(4)    the Authority has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply any deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Authority must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs in this Section 8.01, the Authority’s Obligations in Article 2 hereof and in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.07 and 8.08 hereof shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Authority’s Obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.07 and 8.08 hereof shall survive.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Authority’s Obligations under the Notes, the Guarantors’ obligations under the Guarantees and this Indenture except for those surviving Obligations specified above.

Section 8.02.    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Authority may, at the option of its Management Board evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.03.    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Authority’s exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Authority shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Authority shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.06 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Authority, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Authority’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Authority’s obligations in connection therewith, (d) this Article 8 and (e) the rights of Holders to file an unconsented suit or other action permitted in accordance

with the Tribe’s and/or the Authority’s waiver of sovereign immunity. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Authority may exercise its option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.04 hereof.

Section 8.04.    Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Authority’s exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, the Authority shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14(b), 4.15, 4.17, 4.18, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22, 4.24, 4.25 and 4.29 hereof and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Authority may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Authority’s exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(f) and Sections 6.01(i) through 6.01(m) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.05.    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a)    the Authority must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(b)    in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Authority shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Authority has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c)    in the case of an election under Section 8.04 hereof, the Authority shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence) or insofar as Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

(e)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Authority or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; and

(f)    the Authority shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.06.    Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.07 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Authority acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Authority shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Authority from time to time upon the request of the Authority any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.05 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.05(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.07.    Repayment to Authority

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Authority, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Authority on its request or (if then held by the Authority) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Authority for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Authority as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Authority cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Authority.

Section 8.08.    Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Authority’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Authority makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Authority shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 9.01.    Without Consent of Holders.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Authority, the Tribe and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note to:

(a)    cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(b)    conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the Description of New Second Lien Notes contained in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the Description of New Second Lien Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in this Indenture or the Notes, which intent shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect;

(c)    provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 hereof (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder;

(d)    provide for the assumption of the Authority’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a merger, consolidation not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture or sale of all or substantially all of the Authority’s or such Guarantor’s assets;

(e)    make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of such Holders;

(f)    comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(g)    allow any Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of such supplemental indenture attached as Exhibit F to this Indenture and a Guarantee substantially in the form of such Guarantee attached as Exhibit E to this Indenture or release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(h)    release Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents;

(i)    mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any additional Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, as additional security for the payment and performance of all Obligations with respect to the Notes;

(j)    evidence and provide for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent so long as such successor Collateral Agent (a) is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and (b) is otherwise qualified and eligible to serve as Collateral Agent;

(k)    add any Parity Lien Debt Obligations to the Obligations secured by the Security Documents on the terms permitted thereunder; or

(l)    effect any other action described in clauses (a) through (d) and (f) of Section 11.10.

Upon the request of the Authority accompanied by a resolution of its Management Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Authority and the Guarantors, if any, in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02.    With Consent of Holders.

(a)    Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Authority, the Tribe and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Sections 3.10 and 4.10 hereof) and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision

of this Indenture, or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

(b)    Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

(c)    Upon the request of the Authority accompanied by a resolution of its Management Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Authority in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

(d)    It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(e)    After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Authority shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Authority to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Authority with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

(f)    Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a nonconsenting Holder):

(i)    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.10, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof;

(iii)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(iv)    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration after the payment default that triggered such acceleration has been cured);

(v)    make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note;

(vi)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or relating to the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (other than pursuant to Sections 3.10, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

(vii)    waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.10, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

(viii)    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ix)    make any change to the sovereign immunity waiver, governing law and consent to jurisdiction provisions of this Indenture or the Notes; or

(x)    make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

(g)    Without the consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Authority may not amend, alter or waive (a) the provisions set forth in Section 4.15 in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Holders or (b) the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document in a manner that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens that secure the Notes (but only, in the case of this clause (b), to the extent any such consent is required under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents).

Section 9.04.    Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective (as determined by the Authority and which may be prior to any such amendment, supplement or waiver becoming operative), a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date of the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective (as determined by the Authority and which may be prior to any such amendment, supplement or waiver becoming operative). After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.

The Authority may, and shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be the date so fixed by the Authority. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date, and only those Persons (or their duly designated proxies), shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

Section 9.05.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Authority in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee

shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06.    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Authority may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Management Board approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 10.01.    Unconditional Guarantee.

Each Guarantor shall unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal of, if any, and interest on any interest, to the extent lawful, on the Notes and all other Obligations of the Authority to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations Guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of the Guarantee in each case to the extent lawful.

Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Authority, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance (other than payment in full) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor in each case to the extent lawful. Each Guarantor waives, to the extent lawful, diligence,

presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Authority, any right to require a proceeding first against the Authority, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and in the Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Authority, any Guarantor, or any Custodian acting in relation to the Authority or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Authority or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of Default in the payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes, whether at their Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Authority. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, the Guarantors, to the extent lawful, will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. The Guarantors will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all out-of-pocket reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee and the Holders in enforcing any rights under the Guarantees with respect to the Guarantors.

Section 10.02.    Severability.

In case any provision of the Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.03.    Release of Guarantor.

A Guarantor may, by execution and delivery to the Trustee of a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, be automatically and unconditionally released from its Guarantee upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(x) the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition to any Person that is not required to become a Guarantor of all of the Capital Stock of (including by way of merger or consolidation), or all or substantially all the assets of, such Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture (including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof);

(y) such Guarantor otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Authority in a transaction permitted by this Indenture; or

(z) the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

provided, in each such case, the Authority has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted under this

Indenture.

Section 10.04.    Limitation on Amount Guaranteed.

The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution Obligations under this Indenture, result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor.

Section 10.05.    Waiver of Subrogation.

Until payment in full is made on the Notes and all other Obligations of the Authority to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder and under the Notes, each Guarantor irrevocably waives any claim or other rights it acquires against the Authority that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee and this Indenture, including without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Authority, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Authority, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 10.06.    Execution of Guarantee.

To evidence its Guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article 10, each Guarantor will execute the Guarantee in substantially the form attached to this Indenture as Exhibit E, which shall be endorsed on each Note ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee set forth in this Article 10 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantee. The Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by one Officer of such Guarantor (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions), and the delivery of such Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such Officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Authority, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of such Guarantor.

Section 10.07.    Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive such Guarantor from performing the Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each Guarantor expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 11.01.    The Collateral.

(a)    The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the Guarantees thereof when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to the extent lawful), if any, on the Notes and the Guarantees thereof and performance of all other obligations under this Indenture, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Authority set forth in Section 7.07 and Section 8.08 hereof, and the Notes and the Guarantees thereof and the Security Documents, shall be secured by, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and of the Holders, second-priority Liens and security interests in the Collateral, in each case subject in priority to Permitted Prior Liens only, as provided in the Security Documents which the Authority and the Guarantors, as the case may be, have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture (or in accordance with the provisions of Sections 11.04 and 11.05 hereof shall enter into) and will be secured by all Security Documents hereafter delivered as required or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)    The Authority and the Guarantors hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral in trust for its benefit and for the benefit of the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of the Parity Lien Debt Obligations, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)    Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes and the Guarantees thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance therewith.

(d)    The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Guarantees thereof, acknowledge that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and for the

benefit of the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of Parity Lien Debt Obligations, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, and the Holders and the holders of the Note Obligations and the other Parity Lien Debt Obligations is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Intercreditor Agreement and actions that may be taken thereunder.

Section 11.02.    Further Assurances.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Authority and each of the Guarantors shall do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required (including the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements), or that the Collateral Agent from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of the Holders and the holders of Parity Lien Debt Obligations, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the Notes are issued in accordance with Sections 11.04 and 11.05 hereof), in each case, as and to the extent contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, this Indenture and the Security Documents. In addition, the Authority and each of the Guarantors shall simultaneously deliver to the Collateral Agent notices (of which copies shall be acceptable) and other documentation in substantially the same form as those delivered to the Permitted Priority Lien Debt Collateral Agent in connection with any material construction or development of new hotel or casino facilities and shall take substantially similar action in favor of the Collateral Agent in connection with the perfection of liens with respect thereto as they take in favor of the Permitted Priority Lien Debt Collateral Agent. The Authority and each of the Guarantors will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents or amendments from third parties necessary to permit interests in joint ventures that would otherwise constitute Excluded Assets to be pledged as Collateral for the Notes.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Authority and each of the Guarantors (including any future Subsidiaries that become Guarantors in accordance with Section 4.20 hereof) will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, mortgages and leasehold mortgages (or amendments, restatements and other modifications thereto), title insurance policies, title surveys, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions, in each case as may be reasonably required, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to create, perfect, protect or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by this Indenture and the Security Documents for its benefit and for the benefit of the Trustee, the Holders and the other Parity Lien Debt Secured Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 4.20, the Authority and the Guarantors will not be required to grant or perfect any security interest or Lien on those assets as to which the Authority shall reasonably determine, as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent, that the costs of granting or perfecting such a security interest or Lien are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby, provided that the aggregate value of all such assets shall in no event exceed the threshold set forth under Section 6.01(m)(ii).

Section 11.03.    Impairment of Security Interest.

Neither the Authority nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall take or omit to take any action not otherwise permitted by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Documents which would materially adversely affect or impair the Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Collateral
