(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.9(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit K-2, K-3, K-4, or K-5, respectively (a “Term Note”, “Delayed Draw Term Note”, “Revolving Credit Note”, or “Swing Line Note”, respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of Loans on a Borrowing Date.

2.10 Commitment Fees, etc.

(a) Revolving Credit Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitment on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount

equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, reduce the unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment under the Facilities, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such commitment reduction.

(c) No termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary would be in violation of Section 7.1(d).

2.12 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that (i) if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.22, and (ii) no prior notice is required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

Partial prepayments of Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

2.13 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, upon any sale, issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 as in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than Section 7.2(h)), then on the date of such sale, issuance or incurrence, the Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Indebtedness, as set forth in Section 2.13(f).

(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale (excluding a Purchase Price Refund or Recovery Event) then, unless a Reinvestment

Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, promptly and in any event not later than five Business Days after the date of receipt by the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.13(f); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing prepayment requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice or Reinvestment Notices shall not exceed $50,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower, and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event, as set forth in Section 2.13(f). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5.

(c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, on the later of the Designation Deadline and the date when the Completion Date has occurred with respect to all Current Projects, if there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid and/or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow, as set forth in Section 2.13(f). Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

(d) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, on the later of the Designation Deadline and the date when the Completion Date has occurred with respect to all Current Projects, the remaining balance in the Completion Reserve Account shall be applied to repay Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(f); provided, however, that the Borrower shall provide each of the Term Loan Lenders and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders with five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such repayment and any Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, at its option, may elect, so long as there are any Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding, not to accept its ratable portion of such prepayment in which event the provisions of the next sentence shall apply. Any Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender declining such prepayment (such Lender being a “Declining Term Loan Lender” and the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment being the “Declined Term Amount”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 A.M. (New York City Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be made and then the Declined Term Amount for all Declining Term Loan Lenders may be retained by the Borrower.

(e) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Capital Stock of the Borrower is issued by the Borrower (excluding Capital Stock issued in connection with compensatory stock options for employees and consultants issued in the ordinary course of business), then promptly and in any event not later than two Business Days

after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to prepay the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and if no Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, retained by the Borrower; and (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Cash Proceeds (the “Term Loan Reduction Proceeds”) shall be allocated pro rata to the prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans; provided that if, at the time of such required prepayment, there are unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, then in lieu of the prepayment of Delayed Draw Term Loans under this clause (ii), (x) an amount equal to the lesser of the Term Loan Reduction Proceeds and the amount of the unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be deposited into the Completion Reserve Account; (y) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of such deposit; and (z) the Term Loan Reduction Proceeds not deposited into the Completion Reserve Account pursuant to clause (x), if any, shall be applied to the prepayment of the outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans and any amounts remaining thereafter retained by the Borrower. Any prepayment of Term Loans under this clause (e) shall be applied to the installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity. Any prepayment of Delayed Draw Term Loans under this clause (e) shall be applied to the installments of the Delayed Draw Term Loans in inverse order of maturity. Any prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans under this clause (e) shall not result in a reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(f) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions made pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2.13 shall be allocated, first, (i) prior to the expiration of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Period, all such amounts shall be allocated pro rata to the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, to be applied (x) with respect to the Term Loan Facility, for the benefit of all Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Percentages as a prepayment towards the Term Loans and (y) with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the then unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments will be reduced by the lesser of the amount of such prepayment allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and the then amount of the unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, and an amount equal to the amount of the reduction in the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be deposited into the Completion Reserve Account, and if the amount of such prepayment applied to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility is greater than the then unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, such excess shall be allocated, for the benefit of all Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Delayed Draw Term Loan Percentages as a prepayment towards the funded Delayed Draw Term Loans; and (ii) after the expiration of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Period, all such amounts shall be allocated pro rata towards the prepayment of the Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans, and second, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in Cash into a cash collateral account subject to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

2.14 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.15 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.16 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.17 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest, fees, commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.16(a).

2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.19 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages, Delayed Draw Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Term Loans in the inverse order of the scheduled maturities of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be allocated among the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loans held by such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Delayed Draw Term Loans in the inverse order of the scheduled maturities of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

(e) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(f) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(h) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(h) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Obligations.

2.20 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.21 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any

additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and setting forth in such notice, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the additional amount sought), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as set forth in the aforesaid notice; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this clause (b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender

hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder that would have been received hereunder or under any other Loan Document had such withholding not been required; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a). The Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall make any such required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit L and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S.

Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

2.22 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.23 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.22.

2.24 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.20, 2.21(a) or 2.23 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, 2.21(a) or 2.23.

SECTION 3.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit and, to the extent available from such Issuing Lender, commercial letters of credit (collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent at their addresses for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after receipt by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of the Application therefor and all

such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee (in an amount to be agreed to by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender) on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent, for the account of an Issuing Lender, pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, who shall notify such L/C Participant and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of

such Issuing Lender on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent or any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such L/C Participant), its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender), the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.16(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.16(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans)

could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition.

(b) The audited consolidated and unaudited consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of December 31, 2003, and as of the most recent fiscal year for which financial statements are required to be delivered under Section 6.1(a) and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, in the case of consolidated financial statements, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

(c) The unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of June 30, 2004, and as of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to be delivered under Section 6.1(b) and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal quarter and the year-to-date ended on such dates, in each case, present fairly the consolidated and consolidating financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated and consolidating results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal period then ended (subject to year end adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

(d) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases other than those permitted hereunder or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this Section 4.1. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(d), during the period from December 31, 2003 to and including the Effective Date there has been no Disposition by the Borrower of any material part of its business or Property.

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2003 there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Organizational Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Organizational Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect; and certain consents, authorization, filings and notices specifically identified on Schedule 4.4 which have not been obtained, but have been requested and are anticipated to be received in the due course of business of the applicable party from whom such consent or authorization has been requested, and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and Section 6.11. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the

Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except proceedings of the Gaming Boards identified on Schedule 4.4, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has marketable and insurable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material Property, and the Property is not subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3, except that the St. Louis County Ground Lease, prior to the approval of the St. Louis County Project by the appropriate Gaming Board, provides the lessor thereof rights to terminate such lease.

4.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property in a manner that reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect in a manner that reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than those with respect to which the amount or validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and no tax Lien, other than Liens permitted under Section 7.3(a), has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect) in a manner that is in violation of any of the Regulations of the Board or for any purpose that otherwise violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code except where such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

4.15 Subsidiaries.

(a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower at the Effective Date. Schedule 4.15 sets forth as of the Effective Date the name and jurisdiction of formation of each Subsidiary and, as to each Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each Loan Party. Schedule 4.15 also identifies all of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(b) As of the Effective Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than (a) stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares, and (b) with respect to the Capital

Stock of the Borrower, subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments to which the Borrower is not a party) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15.

4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans may only be used (i) to repay the term loans under the Existing Credit Facility and for fees and expenses associated therewith, (ii) to pay all or a portion of the Expenses related to the Lake Xxxxxxx Project, (iii) to pay certain costs and expenses related to the completion of the Belterra Tower Project, (iv) to pay for all or a portion of the St. Louis City Pre-Development Costs, (v) to pay for all or a portion of the St. Louis County Pre-Development Costs, (vi) to pay for all or a portion of the Expenses related to the St. Louis City Project, (vii) to pay for all or a portion of the Expenses related to the St. Louis County Project, (viii) to repay all or a portion of the amounts due under the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture 1999, and (ix) to pay the fees and expenses related to this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans may be used (i) to pay for all or a portion of the Expenses of any Current Project, (ii) to pay certain costs and expenses related to the completion of the Belterra Tower Project, and (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

4.17 Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries: (i) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for any of their current or intended operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any of them; (iii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits; and (iv) reasonably believe that: each of their Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense; any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense.

(h) One or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole a liability (not paid or fully covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has acknowledged coverage) of $10,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or

(i) Any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason of the express release thereof pursuant to Section 10.15), to be in full force and effect, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert, or any Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby; or

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without

SECTION 9.

THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be

101

responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such

102

Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans or other credit advances hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final

103

and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Effective upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.

9.11 The Arrangers; the Syndication Agent; the Documentation Agent. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent

104

nor the Documentation Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, and neither shall incur liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.

Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an amendment to this Agreement entered into in connection with the establishment of an Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 shall not require the approval of the Lenders and shall be effective upon

106

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such

108

persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.

The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 2.22 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.21, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said

Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x) that no such consent need be obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates and (y) the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit Q, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower or, the Agents or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, Related Fund or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 as to the Revolving Credit Facility, $1,000,0000 as to the Term Loan Facility or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities, but shall be a ratable portion of each Facility so assigned. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note,

110

shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. A list of current Lenders will be made available for any Lender who requests same while any amendment to this Agreement is pending.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note, Term Note and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note, Term Note and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note, Term Note and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, or, in the case of a Lender which is a fund, to any holders of obligations owned or securities issued by such Lender or to any trustee for, or other representatives of, such holders. No such assignments creating security interest shall require the consent or approval of either the Administrative Agent or Borrower (provided, however, any absolute assignments do require such consent and approval as provided in this Section 10.6).

111

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

112

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Except as otherwise provided in this Assignment, capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

A. Assignor has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of , 2004 (“Subsidiary Guaranty”), whereby Assignor, among other things, guaranteed and promised to pay and perform on demand the obligations of Borrower owed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

B. Borrower and Assignor intend to construct the Lake Xxxxxxx Project, as defined and described in the Credit Agreement, in Lake Charles, Louisiana on the real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Land”) .

C. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to provide financing for the construction of the Lake Xxxxxxx Project on the terms and conditions set forth therein. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Assignor is required to execute and deliver this Assignment to the Administrative Agent as security for the performance of Assignor’s obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty.

NOW THEREFORE, Assignor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Assignor hereby assigns, conveys and transfers to Administrative Agent, and grants a security interest to Administrative Agent in and to, as security for Assignor’s obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, all of Assignor’s right, title, interest, privilege, benefit and remedies in, to and under the following:

Administrative Agent may elect to assume all of the obligations of Assignor under the Construction Contract by giving notice to that effect to the Contractor; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall cure all defaults of Assignor under the Construction Contract occurring prior to the time Administrative Agent gives such notice to the Contractor, (it being understood that Administrative Agent shall thereafter be responsible for all obligations of Assignor under the Construction Contract).

4.

Assignor represents and warrants that the copy of the Construction Contract provided by Assignor to Administrative Agent is the complete and entire agreement between the parties thereto respecting the construction of the Lake Xxxxxxx project as of the date of the execution thereof. Assignor agrees not to materially modify the Construction Contract without Administrative Agent’s written consent, except to the extent otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement.

8. This Assignment shall be binding upon Assignor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns. Administrative Agent may assign all or any portion of its interest in the Construction Contract or its rights created hereunder and, in such event, Assignor, at its sole expense, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such additional documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably required by Administrative Agent in connection with any such assignment.

E.	Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make certain credit facilities available to the Borrower, for the purpose of, among other things, the refinancing of the Original Credit Agreement and development of the Property.

EXHIBIT D TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

FORM OF COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF ARCHITECT’S CONTRACT

This Collateral Assignment of Architect’s Contract (this “Assignment”) is made as of , 2004, by Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and PNK (LAKE XXXXXXX), L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (collectively, “Assignor”), to and for the benefit of Xxxxxx Commercial Paper Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the several lenders (collectively, “Lenders”) from time to time parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement executed as of , 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), lenders and Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Assignment, capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

A. Assignor has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of an even date herewith (“Subsidiary Guaranty”), whereby Assignor, among other things, guaranteed and promised to pay and perform on demand the obligations of Borrower owed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

NOW THEREFORE, Assignor hereby agrees as follows:

(a) the prime architectural contract (A1A Document B151-1997) for the Lake Xxxxxxx Project entered into between Xxxxxxx, Walls and Associates, Ltd. (the “Architect”) and the Assignor, as may be amended, (the “Architectural Contract”);

(b) all plans, specifications and drawings with respect to the Land (the “Project Plans”), which shall include, without limitation, the plans, specifications and drawings for any and all improvements, streets, sewers, water and drainage and all tentative and final tract maps pertaining to the Land;

(c) any and all present and future amendments, modifications, supplements, change orders and addenda to the Architectural Contract or the Project Plans.

153

A complete copy of the Project Plans shall be provided to Administrative Agent concurrently with delivery of this Assignment. A complete copy of the Architectural Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

2. Assignor agrees to obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent, concurrently with its delivery of this Assignment, a Consent to Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (“Consent”) from the Architect.

(b) This Assignment and the Consent hereto do not relieve Assignor of its obligations under the Architectural Contract and the Project Plans. Administrative Agent does not hereby assume any of Assignor’s obligations or duties concerning the Architectural Contract or the Project Plans, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay for the work done pursuant thereto.

3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent may, at its option, upon written notice to the Architect, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies granted to Assignor under the Architectural Contract or Project Plans as if Administrative Agent had been an original party to the Architectural Contract or Project Plans, to the extent permitted by and subject to the Architect’s Consent attached hereto. Administrative Agent may elect to assume all of the obligations of Assignor under the Architectural Contract and Project Plans by giving notice to that effect to the Architect; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall cure all defaults of Assignor under the Architectural Contract or Project Plans occurring prior to the time Administrative Agent gives such notice to the Architect, (it being understood that Administrative Agent shall thereafter be responsible for all obligations of Assignor under the Architectural Contract).

4. Assignor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, which power is coupled with an interest, so that Administrative Agent shall have the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement to demand, receive and enforce Assignor’s rights with respect to the Architectural Contract and Project Plans, to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of Assignor with regard to the Architectural Contract or Project Plans and to do any and all acts in the name of Assignor or in the name of Administrative Agent with regard to the Architectural Contract or Project Plans with the same force and effect as Assignor could have done.

5. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent that its previous assignment, dated as of December 17, 2003, of the Architectural Contract or Project Plans to Xxxxxx Commercial Paper Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent for the lenders from time to time party to that certain Credit Agreement executed as of December 17, 2003 among Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation, lenders and the Xxxxxx Commercial Paper Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent, has been terminated and no other assignment has been made that has not been heretofore terminated, and Assignor agrees not to assign, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise encumber its interest in the Architectural Contract or Project Plans so long as this Assignment is in effect, except as otherwise not prohibited in the Credit Agreement. Assignor represents and warrants that the copy of the Architectural Contract attached hereto as Exhibit B is the complete and entire

- 2 -

agreement between the parties thereto respecting the architectural plans for the Lake Xxxxxxx Project as of the date of the execution thereof. Assignor agrees not to materially modify the Architectural Contract or the Project Plans without Administrative Agent’s written consent, except to the extent otherwise not prohibited in the Credit Agreement.

8. This Assignment shall be binding upon Assignor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns. Administrative Agent may assign all or any portion of its interest in the Architectural Contract or Project Plans or its rights created hereunder and, in such event, Assignor, at its sole expense, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such additional documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably required by Administrative Agent in connection with any such assignment.

9. Upon the satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, this Assignment shall automatically terminate.

10. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Assignor has caused this Assignment to be executed as of the date first set forth above.

The collateral assignment herein made of the aforesaid proceeds shall not be construed as imposing upon Beneficiary any obligations with respect thereto unless and until Beneficiary shall become the absolute owner thereof and Trustor shall have been wholly dispossessed thereof.

Trustor shall and will warrant and forever defend the Property and the quiet and peaceable possession of the Beneficiary, its successors and assigns against all and every person or persons lawfully claiming or to claim the whole or any part thereof. Trustor agrees that any greater title to the Property hereafter acquired by Trustor during the term hereof shall be subject hereto.

1.2 Secured Obligations.

1.2.1 Trustor makes the mortgage, hypothecation, pledge, grant, transfer and assignment set forth in Section 1.1 and the assignment set forth in Article 2 and grants the security interest set forth in Article 3 for the purpose of securing payment and performance of the following obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Beneficiary may choose:

(a) The payment and performance of all Obligations of Trustor under the Subsidiary Guaranty; and

(b) The payment and performance of all Obligations of Trustor under this Mortgage; and

(c) The payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that Trustor, Borrower or any other person may owe to Beneficiary and/or any Lenders (whether as principal, surety or guarantor), when a writing evidences Trustor’s and Beneficiary’s agreement that such advances or obligations be secured by this Mortgage; and

(d) The payment and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions and renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured Obligations described in clauses (a), (b) or (c), above.

1.2.2 All persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

1.3 This Mortgage secures the prompt payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the payment of the Notes and all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement, the Swing Line Documents and the Loan Documents and the payment and performance of all other Obligations, whether presently existing, now arising or

incurred hereafter, whether incurred for personal or non-business purpose, or for any other purpose related or unrelated, or similar or dissimilar, to the purpose of the Loan, whether or not such Secured Obligations are of the same type or character. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge and agree that this Mortgage may secure Secured Obligations that have been or will be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time, one or more, times, and that this Mortgage shall be effective, as to all future advances, as of the date of execution and recordation hereof, it being intended that this Mortgage be a mortgage to secure present and future obligations to the fullest extent permitted by La. Civ. Code art. 3298.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS MORTGAGE TO THE CONTRARY, THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY BE OUTSTANDING AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THIS MORTGAGE SECURES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A MORTGAGE AND AS A COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, INCLUDING ALL PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ANY EXPENSES OR ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS INCURRED BY THE BENEFICIARY AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, IS $400,000,000.00.

1.4 No Paraphs. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge that neither the Notes, any other note nor any other written evidence of indebtedness has been paraphed for identification with this Mortgage.

2. Assignment of Rents and Leases.

2.1 Assignment. Trustor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all of the right, title and interest which Trustor now has or may later acquire in and to the Rents and the Leases, and confers upon Beneficiary the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), to collect such Rents and enforce the provisions of the Leases with or without taking possession of the Property. The assignment of Leases and Rents to Beneficiary herein is made pursuant to La. R.S. § 9:4401.

2.2 Prior to an Event of Default. Beneficiary shall have the right to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the assignment of Leases and Rents to Beneficiary shall become absolute as provided in La. R.S. § 9:4401.

2.3 Collection and Application of Rents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents and exercise Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases. Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its mandatory and attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform any and all of the following acts upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if and at the times when Beneficiary, in its absolute discretion, may so choose:

(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents and any other right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases; or

(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents and any other obligations and duties under the Leases; or

(c) Xxx either in the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all Rents and to enforce any other obligations and duties under the Leases.

Beneficiary’s right to the Rents and the Leases does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property. In Beneficiary’s absolute discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents and exercise the right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases either with or without taking possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Property as Keeper (hereinafter defined) thereof or otherwise and is collecting and applying Rents and exercising any right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases as permitted under this Mortgage, then Beneficiary and any Keeper shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage and at law and in equity.

2.4 Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any duty to produce Rents from the Property or maintain the Leases. Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Land and Improvements as Keeper or otherwise, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:

(a) a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose; or

(b) responsible for performing any of the obligations under any Lease; or

(c) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or

(d) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it.

2.5 Leasing. Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of Rents for any period exceeding one month, and Trustor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan Documents. Trustor shall not apply any Rents in any manner prohibited by the Loan Documents.

2.6 Maximum Amount Secured. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS MORTGAGE TO THE CONTRARY, THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY BE OUTSTANDING AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THIS MORTGAGE SECURES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A MORTGAGE AND AS A COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, INCLUDING ALL PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ANY EXPENSES OR

ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS INCURRED BY THE BENEFICIARY AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, IS $400,000,000.00.

3. Grant of Security Interest.

3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Mortgage to create a lien on and security interest in the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some of the Rents and Leases may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases constitute personal property, Trustor, as debtor, hereby grants to Beneficiary, as secured party, a security interest in all such Property, Rents and Leases, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and Trustor, as debtor, also has granted a security interest in such Property, Rents and Leases pursuant to a certain Security Agreement of even date herewith, executed by Trustor and by certain other parties, as debtors, in favor of Beneficiary, as secured party. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under Chapter 9 of the Louisiana Commercial Laws, La. R.S. § 10:91-101 et seq. (“Chapter 9”), as amended or recodified from time to time, covering all such Property, Rents and Leases. To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases are not immovable property encumbered by the lien created by Section 1.1, above, and are not assigned by the assignment set forth in Section 2.1, above, it is the intention of the parties that such Property, Rents and/or Leases shall constitute “proceeds, products, offspring, or profits” and/or “rents” of the Land and Improvements, and/or “fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in ... lodging properties,” as applicable (as such terms are defined in and for the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be modified or supplemented).

3.2 Financing Statements. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute one or more financing statements and such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property, Rents or Leases. As provided in Section 5.11, Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. If Trustor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful mandatory and attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Mortgage or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.

4. Construction Mortgage.

4.1 Construction Mortgage. This Mortgage constitutes a “construction mortgage” as that term is defined in La. R.S. § 10:9-313(1)(c), as amended or recodified from time to time, and as used in Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time.

5. Rights and Duties of the Parties.

5.1 Representations and Warranties. Trustor represents and warrants that:

(a) This Mortgage creates a first and prior lien on and security interest in the Property, subject only to the Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement, and other encumbrances and rights permitted by this Mortgage;

(b) The Property includes all material property and rights which may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the business which Trustor presently operates, or presently contemplates operating, at the location of the Land and Improvements;

(c) Trustor’s place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the address specified above;

(d) This Mortgage does not encumber Land on which Improvements are located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, except any Land on which Improvements are located as to which flood insurance as required by Regulation H has been obtained and is in full force and effect as required by the Credit Agreement; and

(e) Trustor’s correct name and federal employer identification number are as set forth on the first Page hereof.

5.2 Taxes and Assessments. Trustor shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, levies, charges and assessments, including assessments on appurtenant water stock, imposed by any public or quasi-public authority or utility company which are (or if not paid, may become) a lien on or security interest in all or part of the Property or any interest in it, or which may cause any decrease in the value of the Property or any part of it. If any such taxes, levies, charges or assessments become delinquent, Beneficiary may require Trustor to present evidence that they have been paid in full, on ten days’ written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor. This Section 5.2 is subject to the right granted in Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement to contest in good faith certain taxes, assessments, charges and levies (and Trustor’s failure to pay any immaterial tax shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder to the extent Trustor is excused from paying such tax pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement); otherwise, should Trustor fail to pay any of the aforesaid taxes, levies, charges or assessments prior to the date that same become delinquent, Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such taxes, levies, charges and assessments and all amounts advanced by Beneficiary for such purpose, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

5.3 Performance of Secured Obligations. Trustor shall promptly pay and perform or cause the payment and performance of, each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

5.4 Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Trustor shall promptly discharge any lien on or security interest in the Property to which Beneficiary has not consented in writing, except any Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to any applicable rights to contest set forth in the Credit Agreement: (a) Trustor shall pay when due each obligation

secured by or reducible to a lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance which now does or later may encumber or appear to encumber all or part of the Property or any interest in it, whether the lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Mortgage; and (b) should Trustor fail to perform its obligations under this Section 5.4, Beneficiary, at its option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance funds which may be necessary to protect and preserve Beneficiary’s liens hereunder, and to discharge Trustor’s obligations under this Section 5.4, and all amounts so advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

5.5 Damages and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.

Subject to Borrower’s rights to use proceeds as provided in the Credit Agreement:

5.5.1 Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary, and authorizes the payor to, pay to Beneficiary, the following claims, causes of action, awards, payments and rights to payment:

(a) All awards of damages and all other compensation payable directly or indirectly because of a condemnation, proposed condemnation or taking for public or private use which affects all or part of the Property or any interest in it; and

(b) All other awards, claims and causes of action, arising out of any warranty affecting all or any part of the Property, or for damage or injury to or decrease in value of all or part of the Property or any interest in it; and

(d) All interest which may accrue on any of the foregoing.

5.5.2 Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary in writing if:

(a) Any damage occurs or any injury or loss is sustained in the amount of $500,000 or more to all or part of the Property, or any action or proceeding relating to any such damage, injury or loss is commenced; or

(b) Any offer is made, or any action or proceeding is commenced, which relates to any actual or proposed condemnation or taking of all or material part of the Property.

5.5.3 If Beneficiary chooses to do so, Beneficiary may in its own name appear in or prosecute any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action based on warranty, or for damage, injury or loss to all or part of the Property, and Beneficiary may make any compromise or settlement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall not settle or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Trustor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

conditioned or delayed). Beneficiary, if it so chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding relating to condemnation or taking of all or part of the Property, and may join Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful mandatory and attorney-in-fact for all such purposes. The power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written approval of Beneficiary.

5.5.4 All proceeds of these assigned claims, other property and rights which Trustor may receive or be entitled to (collectively, “Proceeds”) shall be paid to Beneficiary. In each instance, Beneficiary shall apply such Proceeds first toward reimbursement of all of Beneficiary’s costs and expenses of recovering the Proceeds, including attorneys’ fees. If, in any instance, each and all of the following conditions (the “Restoration Conditions”) are satisfied in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment within one hundred twenty days following the occurrence of the damage, taking or other event for which the Proceeds are collected, Beneficiary shall permit Trustor to use the balance of such Proceeds (“Net Claims Proceeds”) to pay costs of repairing or reconstructing the Property in the manner described below:

(a) The plans and specifications, cost breakdown, construction contract, construction schedule, contractor and payment and performance bond for the work of repair or reconstruction must all be acceptable to Beneficiary; and

(b) Beneficiary must receive evidence satisfactory to it that, after repair or reconstruction, the Property will be at least as valuable as it was immediately before the damage or condemnation occurred; and

(c) The Net Claims Proceeds must be sufficient in Beneficiary’s determination to pay for the total cost of repair or reconstruction, including all associated development costs and interest projected to be payable on the Secured Obligations until the repair or reconstruction is complete; or Trustor must provide its own funds in an amount equal to the difference between the Net Claims Proceeds and a reasonable estimate, made by Trustor and found reasonably acceptable by Beneficiary, of the total cost of repair or reconstruction; and

(d) Beneficiary must receive evidence satisfactory to it that all Leases (if any) which Beneficiary may find acceptable will continue after the repair or reconstruction is complete unless the termination would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the operation of Trustor’s business on the Property; and

(e) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

If Beneficiary finds that such conditions have been met, Beneficiary shall hold the Net Claims Proceeds and any funds which Trustor is required to provide in an interest-bearing account and shall disburse them to Trustor to pay costs of repair or reconstruction upon presentation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that repair or reconstruction has been completed satisfactorily and lien-free and security interest-free. However, if Beneficiary finds that one or more of such conditions have not been satisfied, Beneficiary may apply the Net Claims Proceeds to pay or prepay (without premium) some or all of the Secured Obligations in such order and

proportions as Beneficiary, in its absolute discretion, may choose (subject to the provisions for priority of application of payments set forth in the Credit Agreement). Any and all Proceeds (including, without limitation, any Net Claims Proceeds) held by Beneficiary from time to time shall be collateral for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in and lien on such Proceeds and all rights and remedies available under applicable laws with respect to such Proceeds, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies under Chapter 9. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary and the Lenders any and all documents reasonably requested by Beneficiary in order to confirm, create and perfect such security interest in and lien on such Proceeds. In the event that any Proceeds are applied to pay any Secured Obligations, then Beneficiary shall have no obligation to disburse or release such applied Proceeds to Trustor under this Section 5.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement and Section 5.6.2, below, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary shall release directly to Trustor all casualty insurance proceeds paid to Beneficiary in connection with any “Minor Casualty.” As used herein, “Minor Casualty” means any casualty or damage to the Improvements, if the proceeds of any casualty insurance policy paid by any insurance company on account of such casualty or damage are $10,000,000 or less.

5.5.5 Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner granted under applicable laws which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder, and any other law or successor statute of similar import. Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all right to recover against Beneficiary or any Lender (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of Beneficiary or any Lender) for any loss incurred by Trustor from any cause insured against or required by any Loan Document to be insured against; provided, however, that this waiver of subrogation shall not be effective with respect to any insurance policy if the coverage thereunder would be materially reduced or impaired as a result.

5.6 Maintenance and Preservation of Property.

5.6.1 Trustor shall not remove or demolish the Property or any part of it, or alter, restore or add to the Property, or initiate or allow any change in any zoning or other land use classification which affects the Property or any part of it, except as permitted or required by the Credit Agreement or with Beneficiary’s express prior written consent in each instance.

5.6.2 If all or part of the Property becomes damaged or destroyed, Trustor shall promptly and completely repair and/or restore the Property in any material respect in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with sound building practices. Trustor shall be obligated to repair and/or restore the Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence even if no insurance proceeds are available or the available insurance proceeds are not sufficient to pay for the entire cost of such repair and/or restoration and even if Beneficiary is not obligated to disburse or release insurance proceeds or other sums to pay costs of the work of repair or reconstruction under Section 5.5.

5.6.3 Trustor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable law or order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen (except to the extent that

noncompliance would not cause a Material Adverse Effect or a License Revocation); or (ii) any public or private covenant, condition, restriction, equitable servitude or Contractual Obligation affecting the Property (except to the extent such violation is being contested by Trustor in good faith by appropriate proceedings or such violation would not cause a Material Adverse Effect). Trustor shall not bring or keep any article on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, that could invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Trustor on the Property or any part of it under this Mortgage or the Loan Documents.

5.6.4 Trustor shall not commit or allow waste of the Property.

5.6.5 Trustor shall perform all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to maintain and preserve its value, except that the failure to maintain and preserve a particular item of personal property that is not of significant value, either intrinsically or to the operations of Trustor, taken as a whole, shall not constitute a violation of this covenant.

5.6.6 Should Trustor fail to perform its obligations under this Section 5.6, Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance funds for the protection, preservation, repair or recovery of the Property, and all amounts so advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

5.7 Insurance.

5.7.1 Trustor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all of its Property in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business

5.7.2 When any insurance policy required hereunder expires, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with proof acceptable to Beneficiary that the policy has been reinstated, renewed or a new policy issued, continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy which expired.

5.7.3 Should Trustor fail to procure any of the insurance required by this Section 5.7, Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance and all amounts advanced by Beneficiary for such purpose, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

5.8 [Intentionally Left Blank.]

5.9 Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security.

5.9.1 From time to time, Beneficiary may perform any of the following acts without incurring any liability or giving notice to any person, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for the payment of the Secured Obligations (except as provided below), and without affecting the security hereof for the full amount of the Secured Obligations on all Property remaining subject hereto, and without the necessity that any sum representing the value of any portion of the Property affected by Beneficiary’s action(s) be credited on the Secured Obligations:

(a) Release any person liable for payment of any Secured Obligation, except as permitted by Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement;

(b) Extend the time for payment, or otherwise alter the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation;

(c) Accept additional real, immovable, movable or personal property of any kind as security for any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements or any other instruments of security; or

(e) Consent to the making of any plat or map of the Property or any part of it;

(f) Join in granting any easement or creating any restriction affecting the Property;

(g) Join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Mortgage or the lien or security interest of it; or

(h) Release the Property or any part of it from the lien of this Mortgage, in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

5.10 Termination of Mortgage. In the event that all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of the Specified Hedge Agreements) are (i) paid and performed in full or (ii) released pursuant to Section 15 of the Credit Agreement, and neither Trustor nor Beneficiary is bound, to one another or to a third party, to permit the incurrence of additional Secured Obligations, Trustor may give notice to Beneficiary of its intent to terminate this Mortgage and may request that Beneficiary execute a release of this Mortgage at the expense of Trustor. Such termination shall not become effective, and Beneficiary shall not be obligated to execute such a release, until sixty (60) days after Beneficiary has actually received such notice in the manner required by Section 9.11 hereof and until Beneficiary has determined, in good faith, that Trustor is entitled to terminate this Mortgage and obtain such release under the terms of this Section 5.10.

5.11 Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification.

5.11.1 Trustor agrees to pay fees in the maximum amounts legally permitted, or reasonable fees as may be charged by Beneficiary when the law provides no maximum limit, for any services that Beneficiary may render in connection with this Mortgage, including Beneficiary’s providing a statement of the Secured Obligations or Beneficiary’s rendering of services in connection with a release or termination of this Mortgage. Trustor shall also pay or reimburse all of Beneficiary’s costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such services. Trustor further agrees to pay or reimburse Beneficiary for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or made by Beneficiary in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage, to the extent provided in Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement. If Beneficiary chooses to dispose of the Property through more than one Foreclosure Sale, Trustor shall pay all costs, expenses or other advances that may be incurred or made by Beneficiary in each of such Foreclosure Sales.

5.11.2 Beneficiary shall not be directly or indirectly liable to Trustor or any other person as a consequence of any of the following:

(a) Beneficiary’s exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights, remedies or powers granted to Beneficiary in this Mortgage;

(b) Beneficiary’s failure or refusal to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of Trustor under any agreement related to the Property or under this Mortgage; or

(c) Any loss sustained by Trustor or any third party resulting from Beneficiary’s failure to lease or operate the Property, or from any other act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Property, after an Event of Default, unless the loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Beneficiary.

Trustor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be asserted against or imposed upon Beneficiary.

5.11.3 Trustor agrees to, and does hereby, indemnify Beneficiary and the Lenders and their respective agents, employees, officers, directors, consultants, shareholders, attorneys and Keepers (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) to the extent provided in Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

At Trustor’s sole expense, Trustor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Mortgage and the rights and powers of Beneficiary created under it, against all adverse claims. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted in writing which does or could affect the title to or right of possession of the Property (other than any item of personal property that is not of significant value, either intrinsically, or to the operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or the security of this Mortgage or the rights and powers of Beneficiary under this Mortgage, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

5.13 [Intentionally Left Blank.]

5.14 Subrogation. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the liens and security interests of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by Beneficiary in accordance with this Mortgage or with the proceeds of any Secured Obligations secured by this Mortgage.

5.15 Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Beneficiary and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time upon reasonable written advance notice to enter and visit the Property for the purpose of performing appraisals. In addition, Beneficiary and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time upon reasonable written advance notice to enter and visit the Property for the purposes of observing the Property, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property. Beneficiary or its agents and representatives have no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit or observation by Beneficiary or its agents or representatives shall impose any liability on Beneficiary or any other person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”). In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party be a representation that Materials of Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on, or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law, or any other applicable Law. Neither Trustor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties owe no duty of care to protect Trustor or any other person against, or to inform Trustor or any other person of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Beneficiary shall give Trustor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Beneficiary shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Trustor’s use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section.

5.16 Notice of Change. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prior written notice of (a) any change in the location of Trustor’s place of business or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, (b) any change in the location of any of the Books and Records or other material personal property, and (c) any change to Trustor’s name, business structure or federal employer identification number.

6. Accelerating Transfers, Defaults and Remedies.

6.1 Accelerating Transfers.

6.1.1 “Accelerating Transfer” means any sale, contract to sell, conveyance, encumbrance, lease, alienation or further encumbrance not expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, or other transfer of (a) all or any part of the Land or Improvements or any interest therein, or (b) all or any material part of the Property (other than the Land or Improvements) or any material interest therein, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, unless Beneficiary has given its prior written consent to such “Accelerating Transfer,” which consent may be given or not given in the absolute discretion of Beneficiary. If Trustor is a corporation or limited liability company, “Accelerating Transfer” also means any transfer of any share or shares in Trustor (other than (a) any transfer or transfers of shares in Trustor expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Credit Agreement, and (b) any transfer or transfers of shares in Trustor to a Restricted Subsidiary). If Trustor is a partnership, partnership in commendam, limited partnership, limited liability partnership or limited liability company, “Accelerating Transfer” also means withdrawal or removal of any general partner or manager, as the case may be, dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company under applicable law, or any transfer of any partnership interest or any ownership interest in the limited liability company.

6.1.2 Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary and the Lenders are making one or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Borrower and Trustor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of Beneficiary’s reliance, Trustor agrees that Trustor shall not make any Accelerating Transfer unless the transfer is preceded by Beneficiary’s written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Beneficiary may withhold such consent in its absolute discretion. If any Accelerating Transfer occurs, Beneficiary may, in its absolute discretion, declare all of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Beneficiary may invoke any rights and remedies provided by Section 6.3 of this Mortgage.

6.2 Events of Default. Trustor will be in default under this Mortgage upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Events of Default”):

(a) Any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document) occurs; or any other default occurs under any of the Secured Obligations (subject to any applicable cure period).

6.3 Remedies. At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary will be entitled to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and any other rights and/or remedies available to Beneficiary at law or in equity (subject to any restrictions on those rights and remedies imposed by applicable Gaming Laws), all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall not constitute an election of remedies:

6.3.1 Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately without notice to or demand upon Borrower, Trustor or any other person or entity.

6.3.2 Receiver or Keeper. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver or Keeper for the Property; and Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may request, in connection with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Louisiana Gaming Control Board petition a District Court of the State of Louisiana for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal gaming activities on the Property concurrently with or following such foreclosure proceeding.

6.3.3 Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver or Keeper, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include, without limitation: taking and possessing all of Trustor’s or the then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Land. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor’s mandatory and attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name on any instruments. Regardless of any provision of this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any personal or movable property in satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary unless Beneficiary has given express written notice of Beneficiary’s election of that remedy in accordance with La. R.S. § 10:9-505, as it may be amended or recodified from time to time.

6.3.4 Cure; Protection of Security. Beneficiary may cure any breach or default of Trustor and, if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which either may in its absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include, without limitation: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary under, this Mortgage; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien, security interest or claim of lien or security interest which (in Beneficiary’s sole judgment) is or may be senior in priority to this Mortgage, such judgment of Beneficiary to be conclusive as among the parties to this Mortgage; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents; otherwise caring for and protecting, preserving, repairing or recovering any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary. Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under this Section 6.3.4 either with or without giving notice to any person.

6.3.5 Chapter 9 Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time.

6.3.6 Judicial Action. Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or other terms of this Mortgage.

6.3.7 Power of Sale. Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.

(a) Sales of Personal Property.

(i) Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which are fixtures, as defined in Chapter 9, which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of immovable property, in any manner permitted by Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not cure any Event of Default.

(ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Trustor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale as required by Chapter 9. Once per week during the three weeks immediately preceding such sale, Beneficiary will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

6.3.8 Foreclosure Sales.

(a) For purposes of executory process under applicable Louisiana law, Trustor hereby acknowledges the Secured Obligations, CONFESSES JUDGMENT thereon and consents that judgment be rendered and signed, whether during the court’s term or during vacation, in favor of the Beneficiary, for the full amount of the Secured Obligations, including but not limited to the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other Secured Obligations, in principal, interest, costs and attorney’s fees, together with all charges and expenses whatsoever owing pursuant to this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and in addition to all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Mortgage and applicable law, Beneficiary may, at its option, cause all or any part of the Property to be seized and sold (any such sale or disposition being referred to herein as a “Foreclosure Sale”) under executory process or under writ of fieri facias issued in execution of an ordinary judgment obtained upon the Secured Obligations, without appraisement to the highest

bidder, for cash or upon such terms as Beneficiary deems acceptable. Trustor hereby waives all and every appraisement of the Property and waives and renounces the benefit of appraisement and the benefit of all laws relative to the appraisement of the Property seized and sold under executory or other legal process. Trustor agrees to waive, and does hereby specifically waive:

(i) the benefit of appraisement provided for in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws conferring such benefits;

(ii) the demand and three (3) days delay accorded by Articles 2639 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(iii) the notice of seizure required by Articles 2293 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(iv) the three (3) days delay provided by Articles 2331 and 2722, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(v) the benefit of the other provisions of Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(vi) the benefit of the provisions of any other articles of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure not specifically mentioned above; and

(vii) all pleas of division and discussion with respect to the Secured Obligations.

In the event Beneficiary elects, at its option, to enter suite via ordinaria on the Secured Obligations, in addition to the foregoing confession of judgment, Trustor hereby waives citation, other legal process and legal delays and hereby consents that judgment for the unpaid principal due on the Secured Obligations, together with interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other charges that may be due on the Secured Obligations, be rendered and signed immediately.

(b) Pursuant to the authority contained in La. R.S. 9:5136 through 9:5140.2, as the same may hereafter be amended or supplemented Trustor and Beneficiary do hereby expressly designate Beneficiary or its designee to be keeper or receiver (“Keeper”) for the benefit of Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary, such designation to take effect immediately upon any seizure of any of the Property under writ of executory process or under writ of sequestration or fieri facias as an incident to an action brought by Beneficiary. The Keeper shall be entitled to a reasonable fee and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it as Keeper, and the payment of such fees and expenses shall be secured by the mortgage, assignment and security interest in the Property granted in this Mortgage.

6.3.9 Other Permitted Remedies. Beneficiary and the Lenders may refuse to make any advance to, or issue any Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or Trustor. Beneficiary and the Lenders may exercise any and all other rights and remedies available under

the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to file applications to change, and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law with respect to, all water permits and rights relating to the Property; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Mortgage, the remedies provided by this Mortgage shall not include the right to take any action that violates applicable Gaming Laws.

6.4 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Trustor or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such Property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting against the sales price of the Property or any part thereof any or all of the outstanding Secured Obligations (including without limitation the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or the Lenders under Section 5.11) or otherwise in such order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose.

6.5 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of any Foreclosure Sale or other sale or disposition in the manner required by applicable law; provided that all proceeds that are to be applied against the Secured Obligations shall, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied against the Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to any applicable provisions for priority of application of proceeds set forth in the Credit Agreement).

6.6 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale or other sale or disposition which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.3, or otherwise, in the following manner:

(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Beneficiary or any receiver or Keeper;

(b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to the provisions for priority of application of payments set forth in the Credit Agreement); and

(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it. Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

7. Leasehold Mortgage Provisions. The provisions of this Article 7 shall apply in the event that, and so long as, any portion of the Property consists of Mortgagor’s interests as tenant under any lease or leases (collectively, including the Existing Ground Lease, the “Ground Leases”). Unless otherwise expressly provided, the lien of this Mortgage shall encumber all of Trustor’s rights and interests under and in connection with any Ground Lease, including without limitation, renewal and extension rights, options to expand, and purchase options (all of which rights shall be collectively referred to herein as a “Ground Leasehold”). Trustor hereby agrees, with respect to each Ground Lease, as follows:

7.1 Trustor shall timely perform its obligations in connection with each Ground Lease. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.3.4 above, Trustor specifically acknowledges Beneficiary’s right, while any default by Trustor under any Ground Lease remains uncured, to perform the defaulted obligations and take all other actions which Beneficiary deems necessary to protect its interests with respect thereto, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) in its name or otherwise to execute all documents, and perform all other acts, which Beneficiary reasonably deems necessary to preserve its or Trustor’s rights with respect to any Ground Lease. Any amounts advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section shall be included in the Secured Obligations.

7.2 Trustor shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, modify, or cause or permit the termination of, any Ground Lease, or waive or in any way release the landlord under any Ground Lease of or from any obligation or condition.

7.3 Trustor shall notify Beneficiary promptly in writing of (i) the occurrence of any default by the landlord under any Ground Lease, and (ii) the receipt by Trustor of any notice claiming the occurrence of any default by Trustor under any Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default by Trustor under any Ground Lease (and Trustor shall also promptly deliver a copy of any such notice to Beneficiary).

7.4 Unless Beneficiary otherwise consents in writing, so long as any Secured Obligation remains outstanding, neither the fee title to, nor any other estate or interest in, the real property subject to any Ground Lease shall merge with any Ground Leasehold, notwithstanding the union of such estates in the landlord or the tenant or in a third party. Any acquisition of the landlord’s interest in any Ground Lease by Trustor or any affiliate of Trustor shall be accomplished in such a manner as to avoid a merger of the interests of Landlord and tenant unless Beneficiary consents to such merger in writing.

7.5 If Trustor acquires fee title to any portion of the real property subject to any Ground Lease, this Mortgage shall automatically be a lien on such fee title.

7.6 Unless otherwise expressly obligated to do so by the terms and provisions of any Lease (and then only to the extent of any such obligation), Trustor shall not subordinate any Ground Lease or Ground Leasehold to any mortgage or other encumbrance of, or lien on, any interest in the real property subject to such Ground Leasehold without the prior written consent

of Beneficiary. Any such prohibited subordination without such consent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be void.

7.7 All subleases entered into by Trustor with respect to all or any portion of the Property (and all existing subleases modified by Trustor) shall provide that such subleases are subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and any modifications of this Mortgage and the obligations secured hereby and that, if Beneficiary forecloses under this Mortgage or enters into a new lease with any landlord under any Ground Lease pursuant to the provisions for a new lease, if any, contained in the applicable Ground Lease or in any other document or agreement, the subtenant shall attorn to Beneficiary or its assignee and the sublease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the applicable Ground Lease.

7.8 Trustor shall exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease at least four months prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice thereof to Beneficiary, and shall execute, deliver and record any documents requested by Beneficiary to evidence the lien of this Mortgage on such extended or renewed lease term. If Trustor fails to exercise any such option or right as required herein, Beneficiary may exercise the option or right as Trustor’s agent and attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Mortgage, or in Beneficiary’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Beneficiary, as Beneficiary chooses in its absolute discretion.

7.9 As security for the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary a security interest in all prepaid rents and security deposits and all other security which the landlords under the Ground Leases hold for the performance of Trustor’s obligations thereunder.

7.10 Promptly upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the landlord under any Ground Lease and furnish to Beneficiary an estoppel certificate of such landlord stating the date through which rent has been paid, whether or not there are any defaults, and the specific nature of any claimed defaults.

7.11 Trustor shall notify Beneficiary promptly in writing of any request by either party to any Ground Lease for arbitration, appraisal or other proceedings relating to any Ground Lease and of the institution of any such proceeding, and shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary a copy of all determinations in any such proceeding. Beneficiary shall have the right, following written notice to Trustor, to participate in any such proceeding in association with Trustor or on its own behalf as an interested party. Trustor shall notify Beneficiary promptly in writing of the institution of any legal proceeding involving obligations under any Ground Lease, and Beneficiary may intervene in any such legal proceeding and be made a party. Trustor shall promptly provide Beneficiary with a copy of any decision rendered in connection with any such proceeding.

7.12 To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Trustor or any other party in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under, or decree of foreclosure of, this Mortgage shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Beneficiary on behalf of Trustor as the tenant under the Ground Leases.

7.13 In addition to all other Events of Default described in this Mortgage, the occurrence of any of the following shall be an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A breach or default by Trustor under any Ground Lease, subject to any applicable cure period; or

(b) The occurrence of any event or circumstance which gives the landlord under any Ground Lease a right to terminate such Ground Lease.

7.14 As used in this Mortgage, the “Bankruptcy Code” shall mean 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq., as modified and/or recodified from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein with respect to any Ground Lease:

(a) The lien of this Mortgage attaches to all of Trustor’s rights under subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, any and all elections to be made thereunder, any and all rights under any Ground Lease which Trustor is entitled to retain pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii) in the event of a rejection under the Bankruptcy Code of such Ground Lease by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee thereof), and any and all rights of offset under or as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(B).

(b) Trustor acknowledges and agrees that, by the terms hereof and by operation of 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Beneficiary has, and until this Mortgage has been fully reconveyed continuously shall have, whether before or after any default under any of the Secured Obligations or the taking of any action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Mortgage or any foreclosure sale hereunder, the complete, unfettered and exclusive right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect (the “365(h) Election”) whether (i) any Ground Lease that has been rejected under the Bankruptcy Code by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee therefor) shall be treated as terminated under 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(i), or (ii) the rights under such Ground Lease that are in or appurtenant to the real property, as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii), should be retained pursuant to that subsection. To the extent that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence and 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Trustor now or at any time in the future has any right to make, or to participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease, Trustor hereby absolutely assigns and conveys to Beneficiary any and all such rights, and all of Trustor’s right, title and interest therein, which may be used and exercised by Beneficiary completely, exclusively, and without any restriction whatsoever, in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion, whether before or after any default upon any of the Secured Obligations, the taking of any action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Mortgage, or any foreclosure sale hereunder. Trustor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) to exercise Trustor’s right, if any, to make, or participate in, or otherwise in any matter affecting the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease. Trustor shall not in any manner impede or interfere with any action taken by Beneficiary and, at the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall take or join in the taking of any action to make, or participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election

with respect to any Ground Lease, in such manner as Beneficiary determines in its sole and absolute discretion. Unless and until instructed to do so by Beneficiary (as determined by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion), Trustor shall not take any action to make, or participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease, including in particular, but without limitation, any election to treat any Ground Lease as terminated. Beneficiary shall have no obligation whatsoever to Trustor or any other person or entity in connection with the making of the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease or any instruction by Beneficiary to Trustor given, withheld or delayed in respect thereof, nor shall Beneficiary have any liability to Trustor or any other person or entity arising from any of the same.

(c) As security for the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary all of Trustor’s rights to damages arising from any rejection by any landlord (or any trustee thereof) of any Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Beneficiary and Trustor shall proceed jointly or in the name of Trustor in respect of any claim or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease, including without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions and other documents in any case in respect of such landlord under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment shall continue in effect until all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full. Any amounts received by Beneficiary or Trustor as damages arising from the rejection of any Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs reasonably incurred by Beneficiary (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with this subsection (c) and then in accordance with other applicable provisions of this Mortgage.

(d) If, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Trustor seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance of the landlord’s obligations after the rejection by the landlord (or any trustee thereof) of such Ground Lease, Trustor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary in writing of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be offset and, in the event that Beneficiary objects, Trustor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Beneficiary objects. If Beneficiary fails to object within 10 days following receipt of such notice, Trustor may offset the amounts set forth in Trustor’s notice.

(e) If any legal proceeding is commenced with respect to any Ground Lease in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Beneficiary and Trustor shall cooperatively conduct any such proceeding with counsel reasonably agreed upon between Trustor and Beneficiary. Trustor shall, upon demand, pay to Beneficiary all costs (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any such proceeding.

(f) Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary orally upon learning of any filing by or against any landlord of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Trustor shall thereafter promptly give written notice of such filing to Beneficiary, setting forth any information available to Trustor with respect to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Trustor shall promptly

deliver to Beneficiary all notices, pleadings and other documents received by Trustor in connection with any such proceeding.

7.15 No maintenance, repair or other obligation of Trustor hereunder which relates to the “Property” shall apply to any Ground Leasehold with respect to which the applicable Ground Lease imposes such obligation on the landlord so long as (a) Trustor does not own the landlord’s interest; (b) such landlord is performing such obligation in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease; and (c) the Ground Lease has not been rejected by the landlord (or any trustee thereof) under the Bankruptcy Code.

7.16 The generality of the provisions of this Mortgage shall not be limited by any provision of this Article 7 that sets forth particular obligations of Trustor as the tenant under the Ground Leases.

7.17 Trustor hereby represents and warrants to Beneficiary as follows:

(a) The Existing Ground Leases are in full force and effect;

(b) Trustor owns the entire tenant’s interest under the Existing Ground Leases and has the right under the Existing Ground Leases to execute this Mortgage; and

(c) No default under the Existing Ground Leases remains uncured, nor has any event occurred which, with the passage of time or service of notice or both, would constitute such a default.

8. Suretyship Provisions. The following provisions shall apply to the extent that all or any portion of the obligations secured hereby now or hereafter constitute obligations of person(s) (collectively, “Other Borrowers”) other than, or in addition to, Trustor, including, without limitation, the Borrower:

8.1 Conditions to Exercise of Rights. Trustor hereby waives any right it may now or hereafter have to require Beneficiary, as a condition to the exercise of any remedy or other right against Trustor hereunder or under any other document executed by Trustor in connection with any Secured Obligation, (a) to proceed against any Other Borrower or any other person, or against any other collateral assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary by Trustor or any Other Borrower or any other person, (b) to pursue any other right or remedy in Beneficiary’s power, (c) to give notice of the time, place or terms of any public or private sale of real or personal property collateral assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary by any Other Borrower or any other person (other than Trustor), or otherwise to comply with La. R.S. § 10:9-504 (as modified or recodified from time to time) with respect to any such personal property collateral, or (d) to make or give (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest or other demand or notice of any kind in connection with any Secured Obligation or any collateral (other than the Property) for any Secured Obligation. Trustor also waives any defense in any way related to the foregoing.

8.2 Waiver of Defenses. Trustor hereby waives any defense it may now or hereafter have that relates to: (a) any disability or other defense of any Other Borrower or any other

person; (b) the cessation, from any cause other than full performance, of the obligations of any Other Borrower or any other person; (c) the application of the proceeds of any Secured Obligation, by any Other Borrower or any other person, for purposes other than the purposes represented to Trustor by any Other Borrower or otherwise intended or understood by Trustor or any Other Borrower; (d) any act or omission by Beneficiary which directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the release of any Other Borrower or any other person or any collateral for any Secured Obligation; (e) the unenforceability or invalidity of any collateral assignment or encumbrance (other than this Mortgage) or guaranty with respect to any Secured Obligation, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or lack of priority of any lien which secures any Secured Obligation; (f) any failure of Beneficiary to marshal assets in favor of Trustor or any other person; (g) any modification of any Secured Obligation, including any renewal, extension, acceleration or increase in interest rate, or (h) any election of remedies by Beneficiary that impairs any subrogation or other right of Trustor to proceed against any Other Borrower or any other person, including any loss of rights resulting from deficiency judgment laws relating to foreclosures of immovable property or other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging obligations or remedies (including La. R.S. §§ 13:4106 through 13:4108.3, inclusive, as modified or recodified from time to time); (l) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (j) any failure of Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any person; (k) the election by Beneficiary, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (l) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code; (m) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (n) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person.

The Trustor waives all rights and defenses that the Trustor may have because an Other Borrower’s debt is secured by immovable property. This means, among other things:

(1)

The Beneficiary may foreclose, under this Mortgage, without first foreclosing on any immovable or personal property collateral pledged by any Other Borrower or any other person.

(2)

If the Beneficiary forecloses on any immovable property collateral pledged or otherwise encumbered by any Other Borrower or any other person:

(A)

The amount of the Secured Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(B)

The Beneficiary may foreclose on any such immovable property collateral even if the Beneficiary, by foreclosing on such immovable property collateral, has destroyed any right the Trustor may have to collect from any Other Borrower.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any and all rights and defenses the Trustor may have because an Other Borrower’s debt is secured by immovable property.

The Trustor also waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies, such as a foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Trustor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by operation of applicable law or otherwise.

8.3 Subrogation. Trustor hereby waives, until such time as all Secured Obligations are fully paid and performed, (a) all rights of subrogation against any Other Borrower or any other person that relates to any Secured Obligation, (b) all rights to enforce any remedy Beneficiary may now or hereafter have against any Other Borrower or any other person, and (c) all rights to participate in any collateral now or hereafter assigned to Beneficiary with respect to any Secured Obligation.

8.4 Trustor Information. Trustor warrants and agrees that: (a) Trustor has not relied, and will not rely, on any representations or warranties by Beneficiary to Trustor with respect to the creditworthiness of any Other Borrower or any other person or the prospects of repayment of any Secured Obligation from sources other than the Property; (b) Trustor has established and/or will establish adequate means of obtaining from each Other Borrower and each other person liable, directly or through a guaranty or pledge or encumbrance of collateral, for the repayment of the Secured Obligations, on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of each Other Borrower and each such other person; (c) Trustor assumes full responsibility for keeping informed with respect to the business operations, if any, and financial condition of each Other Borrower and each such other person; and (d) Beneficiary shall have no duty to disclose or report to Trustor any information now or hereafter known to Beneficiary or any of the Lenders with respect to any Other Borrower or other person, including, without limitation information relating to any Other Borrower’s or other person’s business operations or financial condition.

The liability of the original Trustor shall not be released or changed if Beneficiary grants any successor in interest to Borrower or Trustor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Trustor that Beneficiary refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.

9.3.3 Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under Sections 6.3.2 and/or 6.3.3 regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been given under, or notice of seizure given with respect to, this Mortgage.

9.3.4 From time to time, Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Mortgage. Beneficiary may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in enforcing these rights and remedies.

9.6 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section does not waive the provisions of Section 6.1.

9.7 Interpretation.

9.7.1 Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.” The word “person” includes individuals and entities.

9.7.2 The word “obligations” is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, reimbursement and indemnity obligations, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.

9.7.3 No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Mortgage. All Exhibits and/or Schedules attached to this Mortgage are hereby incorporated in this Mortgage.

9.8 In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary for any attorneys’ fees, those fees shall include the allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.

9.9 Waiver of Marshalling. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Trustor waives all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshalling of assets or to require foreclosure sales of assets in a particular order. Each successor and assign of Trustor, including any holder of a lien or encumbrance or security interest subordinate to this Mortgage, by acceptance of its interest or lien or encumbrance or security interest, agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, as if it had given the waiver itself.

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

9.11 Notices. Trustor hereby requests that a copy of all notices required hereunder or by applicable law be mailed to it at the address set forth below. That address is also the mailing address of Trustor as debtor under Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time.

Except as permitted by Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement, Owner shall, at its own expense, at all times maintain and preserve the Vessel and all its equipment, outfit and appurtenances tight, staunch, strong, in good condition, working order and repair and (to the extent necessary or desirable for its present use) in all respects seaworthy, and if classed by the American Bureau of Shipping or other classification society, will keep the Vessel in such condition as to entitle her to such classification.

Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect any deficiency from Owner. Owner shall be entitled to any surplus, subject to setoff in favor of Mortgagee or any Lender for any other indebtedness of Owner.

2.5 All advances and expenditures which Mortgagee or any Lender in their discretion may make for repairs, insurance, payment of liens or other claims, defense of suits, or for any other related purpose, and all damages sustained by Mortgagee or any Lender because of defaults, shall be repaid by Owner on demand with interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to Obligations under the Credit Agreement, and until so paid shall be a debt due from Owner to Mortgagee or such Lender, secured by the lien hereof. Neither Mortgagee nor any Lender shall be obligated to make any such advances or expenditures, but if made, the Owner is not relieved of any obligation.

ARTICLE III.

This Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of any Grantor or any other Person or any other event or proceeding affecting any Person.

4. Grantors’ Agreements. Grantors agree and acknowledge that: (a) in the event any Grantor changes its name or its address as either are set forth herein or in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, such Grantor will notify Secured Party of such name and/or address change promptly, but in any event, within thirty (30) Business’ Days; and (b) as of the Effective Date, all securities intermediary, depositary institution or other bailee for the Deposit Accounts that are necessary for Secured Party to maintain the perfection of its security interest in such Deposit Accounts in accordance with Section 9104 of the UCC are listed in Schedule I hereto.

5. Secured Party’s Rights Regarding Collateral. At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred), at the expense of each Grantor with regard to the portion of the Collateral owned by it, subject to compliance with Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws, Secured Party may, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Secured Party shall not be obligated to, on reasonable prior notice, perform any obligation of any Grantor under this Agreement or any obligation of any other Person under the Loan Documents, if such Grantor or Person, as the case may be, has to perform such obligation and has failed to do so. Secured Party shall at all reasonable times on reasonable prior notice have full access to and the right to audit any and all of Grantors’ books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else Secured Party reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, however, that any such action which involves communicating with customers of Grantors shall be carried out by Secured Party

through Grantors’ independent auditors unless Secured Party shall then have the right directly to notify obligors on the Collateral as provided in Section 8. Secured Party shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the Secured Obligations. Secured Party shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of any Grantor therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.

6. Collections on the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, Grantors shall have the right to use and to continue to make collections on and receive the proceeds of all of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Secured Party and upon notice of such election to Grantors, Grantors’ rights to make collections on and receive the proceeds of the Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall terminate, and any and all proceeds and collections, including all partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account of the Collateral will be held or received by Grantors in trust for Secured Party and immediately delivered in kind to Secured Party (subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws). Any remittance received by any Grantor from any Person shall be presumed to relate to the Collateral and to be subject to Secured Party’s security interests. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party if it so elects in the notice to Grantors shall have the sole right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of the appropriate Grantor, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral (subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws); and each Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of it, in such manner as Secured Party shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by Secured Party without appropriate endorsement, and Secured Party and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by the appropriate Grantor, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized officer of the appropriate Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest of dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

7. Possession of Collateral by Secured Party. All the Collateral heretofore or hereafter delivered to Secured Party shall be held by Secured Party in its possession, custody and control. Any or all of the Collateral delivered to Secured Party may be held in an interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing account, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, and Secured Party may, in its discretion, apply any such interest to payment of the Secured Obligations. Nothing herein shall obligate Secured Party to invest any Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Secured Party’s possession, custody or control, Secured Party may use, operate and consume the Collateral, for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of Grantors’ obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise, subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws. Secured Party may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantors, and the receipt of any of the same by any Grantor shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor. So long as Secured Party exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Secured Party shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no event shall Secured Party have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of Secured Party is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary action to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

8. Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws, Secured Party shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Secured Party may have under applicable Law or in equity or under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set forth in Section 6 hereof) or under any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the applicable jurisdiction, and, in addition, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantors and without affecting the obligations of Grantors hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the enforceability of the Liens and security interests created hereby: (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Secured Party, provided, however, that Secured Party shall first apply for and receive all approvals of applicable Gaming Boards to the extent required for the sale or disposition of slot machines and other gaming property, equipment or devices; (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Secured Party; (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (f) to cause the Collateral to be registered in the name of Secured Party, as legal owner; (g) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith Secured Party may deposit or

surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other Property in exchange for the Collateral; (h) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Secured Party, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral, and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (i) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of Secured Party or in the name of any Grantor; (j) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of any Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and each Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by Secured Party which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and each Grantor waives any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by Secured Party in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Secured Party or Grantors maybe applied by Secured Party without notice to Grantors to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine; (k) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (l) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Loan Documents; (m) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and Secured Party may, at the cost and expense of each Grantor, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the portion of the Collateral owned by such Grantor or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Secured Party shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of any Grantor for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by Secured Party; (n) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Grantor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Secured Party may designate; provided that Secured Party agrees that it will promptly deliver over to the appropriate Grantor such opened mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and (o) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral; all at Secured Party’s sole option and as Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Grantors will, at Secured Party’s request, assemble the Collateral (or any part thereof, as requested) and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party may reasonably designate (subject to the approval of any applicable Gaming Board), whether at the premises of Grantors or elsewhere (provided, however, that Grantors shall not be required to deliver Collateral consisting of gaming devices to a location in a jurisdiction where possession of such items is unlawful), and will make available to Secured Party, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Grantors for the purpose of Secured Party’s taking possession of such Collateral or storing the same or removing or putting such Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws, Secured Party also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by

a court (and Grantors hereby expressly consent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to the appointment of such a receiver), and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof. Taking possession of the Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Secured Party, or at Grantors’ places of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers. With respect to any Collateral located within or subject to the jurisdiction of a Gaming Board, Secured Party may also request, in connection therewith, such Gaming Board to petition such local judicial or administrative tribunal or other authority as may be deemed appropriate by Secured Party for the appointment of a supervisor or similar official to conduct the normal gaming activities on the premises following the appointment of a receiver or similar remedy. Secured Party may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantors expressly waive any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral. Subject to applicable Laws, Secured Party or any Person on Secured Party’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition. The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including reasonable and documented Attorney Costs) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating the Collateral and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations with application as to any particular Secured Obligations to be in the order set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents. Grantors and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Agreement, the remedies provided by this Agreement shall in no way include the right to take any action in contravention of any applicable Gaming Laws.

Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party will send or otherwise make available to the Grantor thereof, such notice as may be required by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time on or after which any private sale thereof is to be made. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Borrower as its agent for the purpose of receiving notices hereunder and agrees that such Grantor shall be deemed to have conclusively received any such notice when received by Borrower. Each Grantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations except as expressly provided for in this paragraph.

Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of any Grantor or any other Person, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal

which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Lenders to extend the aforementioned credit facilities, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantors hereby represent, warrant, covenant, agree and guaranty as follows:

1. Definitions. This Guaranty (as defined below) is the Subsidiary Guaranty referred to in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and is one of the Loan Documents. Terms defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings given those terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement when used herein and such definitions are incorporated herein as though set forth in full. In addition, as used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each:

“Guarantied Obligations” means all Obligations of Borrower or any party at any time and from time to time owed to Secured Party under one or more of the Loan Documents (but not including Obligations owed to Secured Party under this Guaranty and contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement), whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or contingent or noncontingent, including obligations of performance as well as obligations of payment, and including interest that accrues after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person.

“Guarantors” means the parties hereto as indicated on the signature pages hereof, and any additional Persons that become parties hereto as provided in Section 18 hereof, and each of them, and any one or more of them, jointly and severally.

“Guaranty” means this Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty, and any further extensions, modifications, renewals, restatements, reaffirmations, supplements or amendments hereof, including, without limitation, any documents or agreements by which additional Guarantors become party hereto.

“NRS” means the Nevada Revised Statues as may be amended from time to time.

“Secured Party” means the Administrative Agent (acting as the Administrative Agent and/or on behalf of the Lenders), the Required Lenders or any Lenders acting with the consent of such Lenders who, subject to the terms hereof and of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, may exercise any right, remedy, privilege or power of Secured Party hereunder.

2. Guaranty of Guarantied Obligations. Guarantors hereby jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty and promise to pay and perform on demand the Guarantied Obligations and each and every one of them, including all amendments,

modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any of them, whether such amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions are evidenced by new or additional instruments, documents or agreements or change the rate of interest on any Guarantied Obligation or the security therefor, or otherwise.

3. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is irrevocable and continuing in nature and relates to any Guarantied Obligations now existing or hereafter arising. This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection.

4. Relationship to Other Agreements. Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other document, instrument or agreement executed by any Guarantor or in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.

5. Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors to the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that:

(a) Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor hereby is subordinated to the Guarantied Obligations.

(b) If Secured Party so requests, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for Secured Party and shall be paid over to Secured Party in kind on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(c) Should such Guarantor fail to collect or enforce any such indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to such Guarantor and pay the proceeds thereof to Secured Party in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof, Secured Party as such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact may do such acts and sign such documents in such Guarantor’s name as Secured Party considers necessary or desirable to effect such collection, enforcement and/or payment.

6. Statutes of Limitations and Other Laws. Until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Guarantied Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations. Each Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws.

7. Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of Persons other than such Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, consents and agrees that Secured Party may, at any time and from time to

time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (b) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is not a party or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (d) accept partial payments on the Guarantied Obligations; (e) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (g) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Secured Party or by operation of applicable Laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Guarantied Obligations and any security or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (i) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Guarantied Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may enforce this Guaranty independently as to each Guarantor and independently of any other remedy or security the Secured Party at any time may have or hold in connection with the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to require Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of Borrower, and agrees that Secured Party may proceed against Borrower, or upon or against any security or remedy, before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty, in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Secured Party may file a separate action or actions against Borrower and/or any Guarantor without respect to whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantors agree that Secured Party and Borrower and any Affiliates of Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Guaranty. Secured Party’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guarantied Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Secured Party upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of Secured Party created or granted herein and the enforceability of this Guaranty with respect to Guarantors at all times shall remain effective to guaranty the full amount of all the Guarantied Obligations even though the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise

unenforceable as against Borrower or any other guarantor or surety and whether or not Borrower shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Guarantied Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Guarantied Obligations), (d) any failure of Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person, (e) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Guaranty, any failure of Secured Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral to such Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral, (f) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Guaranty, any failure of Secured Party to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, including, without limitation, any failure of Secured Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, (g) any act or omission of Secured Party or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or the Guarantied Obligations or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (h) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of Secured Party to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j) the election by Secured Party, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any extension of creditor the grant of any Lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of Secured Party for any reason, (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (p) to the extent permitted in paragraph 40.495(4) of the NRS, the benefits of the one-action rule under NRS Section 40.430, (q) any action taken by Secured Party that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Loan Document. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guarantied Obligations.

8. Condition of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to Secured Party that each Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties, and each Guarantor now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and

its Subsidiaries and their Properties. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Secured Party (should any such duty exist) to disclose to any Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their Properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Secured Party during the life of this Guaranty. With respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations, Secured Party need not inquire into the powers of Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries thereof or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and all Guarantied Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be secured hereby.

9. Liens on Real Property. In the event that all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting Liens on any interests in real Property, each Guarantor authorizes Secured Party, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Gaming Laws, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any Guarantied Obligations of any Guarantor, the enforceability of this Guaranty, or the validity or enforceability of any Liens of Secured Party on any Collateral, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real Property or interest therein subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect Guarantors’ Obligations or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any rights of Secured Party created or granted hereby. Each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived from California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, NRS Section 40.430 and judicial decisions relating thereto, and NRS Sections 40.451, 40.455, 40.457 and 40.459, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other similar defenses it otherwise might or would have under California Law or other applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that it may have because any of the Guarantied Obligations of any other party are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) Secured Party may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other party, (2) If Secured Party forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other party: (A) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (B) Secured Party may collect from such Guarantor even if Secured Party, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from such other party. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor may have because any such other party’s debt is secured by real property.

10. Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a Party until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated or expired, Guarantors hereby expressly waive with respect to Borrower and its successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower; any and all rights at Law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution (except as specifically provided in Section 11

below), to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantors may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other such Person in connection with or as a result of Guarantors’ execution, delivery and/or performance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party. Guarantors agree that they shall not have or assert any such rights against Borrower or its successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety) which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower, either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against Guarantors by Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity), Secured Party or any other such Person. Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that this waiver is intended to benefit Borrower and Secured Party and shall not limit or otherwise affect Guarantors’ liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

11. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of all payments made hereunder, provided that the Guarantied Obligations are then satisfied, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of all such payments. The provisions of this Section 11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Secured Party, and, subject to the provisions of Section 17 below, each Guarantor shall remain liable to Secured Party for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. The “proportionate share” of any Guarantor, for purposes of this Section 11, shall be a fraction (which shall in no event exceed 1.00) the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor over a fair estimate of the liabilities of Guarantor and the denominator of which is the excess (but not less than $1.00) of the fair value of the aggregate assets (without duplication) of all Guarantors over a fair estimate of the aggregate liabilities (without duplication) of all Guarantors. All relevant calculations shall be made as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor.

12. Waiver of Discharge. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent otherwise applicable, each Guarantor hereby waives discharge under NRS Section 104.3605 by waiving all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

13. Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, Secured Party or others, or against any Collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or Law. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Guaranty and the waivers and consents set forth herein, or has made an informed decision not to do so. If this Guaranty or any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under or in violation of applicable Law, this Guaranty and such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

14. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes each and every representation and warranty that is applicable to such Guarantor set forth in Section 4 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

15. Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees to pay to Secured Party all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented Attorney Costs) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof. All reasonable and documented advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented Attorney Costs, incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be subject hereto and shall become a part of the Guarantied Obligations and shall be paid to Secured Party by each Guarantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate then applicable to Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

16. Construction of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is intended to give rise to absolute and unconditional obligations on the part of each Guarantor; hence, in any construction hereof, notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, this Guaranty shall be construed strictly in favor of Secured Party in order to accomplish its stated purpose.

17. Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a Party, the aggregate liability of all Guarantors hereunder for payment and performance of the Guarantied Obligations shall not exceed an amount which, in the aggregate, is $1.00 less than that amount which if so paid or performed would constitute or result in a “fraudulent transfer”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or terms of similar import, under applicable state or federal Law, including, without limitation, Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is independent of any other guaranties at any, time in effect with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and each Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence of any such guaranties. Any termination by or release of any guarantor in whole or in part (whether it be another Guarantor under this instrument or not) shall not affect the continuing liability of any Guarantor hereunder, and no notice of any such termination or release shall be required. The execution hereof by each Guarantor is not founded upon an expectation or understanding that there will be any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations.

18. Additional Guarantors. Any other Person may become an additional Guarantor under and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Guaranty by executing and delivering to Secured Party an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Secured Party may require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Official thereof then authorized to act on its behalf. Upon delivery of such Instrument of Joinder to and acceptance thereof by Secured Party, notice of which acceptance is hereby waived by Guarantors, each such additional Guarantor shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Guarantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its

obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of additional Guarantors hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an additional Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor who is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder.

19. Release of Guarantors. This Guaranty and all Obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be released when all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements) of each Party to any Loan Document have been paid in full in Cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of the Commitment remains outstanding. Any Guarantor shall be promptly released from its Obligations hereunder if (i) such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction not prohibited under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or (ii) if such release is approved, authorized or ratified as required in Section 10.1 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon such release of any or all such Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s rights arising under this Guaranty, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Guarantors.

20. Application of Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws. This Guaranty is subject to the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders and Secured Party acknowledge that (i) they are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Board or the Liquor Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all right, remedies and powers in or under this Guaranty may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities. The Lenders and Secured Party agree to cooperate with the Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities in connection with the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Board and the Liquor Authorities.

21. Miscellaneous. Each of the Guarantors consents and agrees to the obligations and other terms imposed upon such Guarantor, and each of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is party, by the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations, covenants and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Neither this Guaranty nor any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party shall be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, terminated or waived (explicitly or by implication) except in such manner as may be permitted by the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) Any Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the local Laws of New York.

(d) Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly given if done in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The notice address for each Guarantor is set forth on the signature pages hereof.

22. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY OTHER WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

2. Incorporation of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Other Provisions of Loan Documents. This Assignment is one of the “Loan Documents” referred to in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Grantors, and each of them, represent, warrant and agree that:

(a) Grantors will, at their expense, perform all acts and execute all documents necessary to maintain on and after the Effective Date the existence of the Collateral as valid, subsisting, and registered Trademarks, including, without limitation, the filing of any renewal affidavits and applications, it being acknowledged and agreed that Grantors shall only so maintain Collateral to the extent the same is necessary for the operation of Grantors’ business as currently conducted. To Grantors’ respective knowledge, the Collateral is not subject to any Liens, claims, mortgages, assignments or licenses of any nature whatsoever, whether recorded or unrecorded, except as (i) provided in favor of Secured Party, or (ii) Liens not prohibited by Section 7.3 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or otherwise not violative of the representations and warranties in Section 4.9 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) As of the Effective Date, none of Grantors or their Subsidiaries has any Trademarks registered with the USPTO other than those described in Schedule 1.

(c) Grantors shall not assign, sell, mortgage, lease, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in or Lien upon, encumber, grant an exclusive or nonexclusive license or sublicense relating thereto, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except as permitted herein or in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

(d) If any Grantor shall hereinafter obtain a registration of a Trademark with the USPTO, such Grantor shall promptly inform Secured Party of such registration in writing and, upon request of Secured Party, execute and deliver to Secured Party any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and such other papers as may be requested by Secured Party to evidence the assignment to Secured Party of such Trademark. Each Grantor authorizes Secured Party to modify this Assignment by amending Schedule 1 to include as additional Collateral any such Trademark; and each Grantor shall, upon request of Secured Party from time to time, execute and deliver to Secured Party any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and such other papers as may be requested by Secured Party to evidence the assignment of a security interest to Secured Party of each such Trademark.

(e) On or after the Effective Date, no Grantor will do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Trademark may become abandoned, cancelled, invalidated, unenforceable, avoided, or avoidable, except that Grantor, or any of them, may take or omit to take any of the foregoing actions with respect to any Trademark that is no longer necessary for the conduct of the Grantors’ businesses as currently conducted, regardless whether the same was theretofore material.

(f) Grantors will render any assistance, as Secured Party may determine is necessary, to Secured Party in any proceeding before the USPTO, any federal or state

court, or any similar office or agency in the United States, or any State therein, or any other country, to maintain and protect Secured Party’s security interest in the Trademarks.

(g) Grantors retain all responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Trademarks, and each Grantor hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage, or expense (including Attorney Costs) arising out of any alleged defect in any product manufactured, promoted, or sold by any Grantor (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Trademark or out of the manufacture, promotion, labeling, sale, or advertisement of any such product by any Grantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof.

(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Assignment is within the power of Grantors and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other entity action and to the best of each Grantor’s knowledge do not contravene any Law, rule, regulation or any judgment, decree or order of any tribunal or of any agreement to which any Grantor is a party or by which any of its property is bound.

(i) In the event of any material infringement of any of the Trademarks by a third party, Grantors shall promptly notify Secured Party of such infringement and xxx for and diligently pursue damages for such infringement if such infringement could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect; otherwise Grantors shall not be required to institute any such actions, and may do so in their own discretion. If any Grantor shall fail to take such action within one (1) month after such notice is given to Secured Party, Secured Party may, but shall not be required to, itself take such action in the name of any or all Grantors, and each Grantor hereby appoints Secured Party the true and lawful attorney of Grantors, for them and in their name, place and xxxxx, on behalf of Grantors, to commence judicial proceedings in any court or before any other tribunal to enjoin and recover damages for such infringement, any such damages due to Grantors, net of costs and Attorney Costs, to be applied to the Secured Obligations.

(j) Each Grantor shall, at its sole expense, do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances, and instruments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, relating to the creation, validity, or perfection of the security interests provided for in this Assignment under 35 U.S.C. Section 261, 15 U.S.C. Section 1051 et seq., the Uniform Commercial Code, or other Law of the United States, the State of New York or other States as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and shall take all such other action as the Secured Party may reasonably require to more completely vest in and assure to Secured Party its rights hereunder or its security interest in any of the Collateral, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party or its designee, at such Grantor’s expense, to execute such documents, and file such financing statements with respect thereto with or without such Grantor’s signature, as Secured Party may reasonably deem appropriate. In the event that any recording or refiling (or the filing of any statement of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) or any other action, is required at any time to protect and preserve such security interest, Grantors shall, at their sole cost and expense, cause the same to be done or taken at such time as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party. Each Grantor further authorizes Secured Party to have this or any other

security agreement recorded or filed with the USPTO or other appropriate federal governmental office with respect to Trademarks described on Schedule 1.

(k) Secured Party is hereby irrevocably appointed by each Grantor as its lawful attorney and agent, with full power of substitution to execute and deliver on behalf of and in the name of any or all Grantors, such financing statements, assignments, pledges and other documents and agreements, and to take such other action as Secured Party may deem necessary for the purpose of perfecting, protecting or effecting the security interests granted herein and effected hereby, and any mortgages or Liens necessary or desirable to implement or effectuate the same, under any applicable Law, and Secured Party is hereby authorized to file on behalf of and in the name of any or all Grantors, at Grantors’ sole expense, such financing statements, assignments, pledges and other documents in any appropriate governmental office.

(l) Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, pay any amount, or do any act which Grantors fail to pay or do as required hereunder or as requested by Secured Party to preserve, defend, protect, maintain, record, amend, or enforce the Secured Obligations, the Collateral, or the security interest granted hereunder, including, without limitation, all filing or recording fees, court costs, collection charges, and Attorney Costs. Grantors will be liable to Secured Party for any such payment, which payment shall be deemed an advance by the Lenders to Grantors, shall be payable on demand, together with interest at the rate then applicable to Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and shall be part of the Secured Obligations.

5. Inspection. At all reasonable times on reasonable prior notice, each Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party and its representatives the right to inspect such Grantor’s properties wherein the Trademarks are used and the products and records relating thereto.

6. Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in addition to all other rights and remedies of Secured Party, whether provided under Law, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or otherwise, Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies, which may be exercised without notice to, or consent by, any Grantor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder:

(a) Secured Party may use any of the Trademarks for the sale of goods, completion of work in process, or rendering of services in connection with enforcing any security interest granted to Secured Party by Grantors or any Subsidiary of any Grantor.

(b) Secured Party may grant such license or licenses relating to the Collateral for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner, as Secured Party shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. Such license or licenses may be general, special or otherwise, and may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis throughout all or part of the United States of America, its territories or possessions, and all foreign countries.

(c) Secured Party may assign, sell or otherwise dispose of or otherwise enforce its security interest in the Collateral, or any part thereof, either with or without

special conditions or stipulations, and take all actions permitted by law in connection with such enforcement, except that Secured Party agrees to provide Grantors with five (5) days’ prior written notice of any proposed disposition of the Collateral. The requirement of sending notice conclusively shall be met if such notice is mailed, first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantor owning the same. Each Grantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations except as expressly provided in this Section 6(c). Subject to compliance with the requirements of any applicable Law, Secured Party shall have the power to (i) buy the Collateral, or any part thereof, and (ii) execute assurances and perform all other acts which Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s sole discretion, deem appropriate or proper in connection with such assignment, sale, disposition or enforcement of the Collateral. In any such event, Grantors shall be liable for any deficiency.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, in order to implement the assignment, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof, Secured Party may, at any time, execute and deliver, on behalf of Grantors, and each of them, pursuant to the authority granted in powers of attorney, one or more instruments of assignment of the Trademarks (or any registration or recording relating thereto), in form suitable for filing, recording, or registration. Grantors agree to pay Secured Party, on demand, all costs incurred in any such transfer of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any taxes, fees, and Attorney Costs.

(e) Secured Party may first apply the proceeds actually received from any such use, assignment, sale, or other disposition of Collateral first to the reasonable costs and expenses thereof; including, without limitation, Attorney Costs, and all reasonable and documented travel, and other expenses which may be incurred by Secured Party. Thereafter, Secured Party may apply any remaining proceeds to such of the Secured Obligations as provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Grantors shall remain liable to Secured Party for any expenses or Secured Obligations remaining unpaid after the application of such proceeds, and Grantors will pay Secured Party, within ten (10) days of demand therefore, any such unpaid amount, together from the date the payment is due and payable hereunder with interest at the rate(s) set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including, without limitation, this Assignment and the Collateral subject to a security interest hereunder), or guaranties of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order. Each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Assignment or any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or by which any of such Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Laws.

(c) Except for notices specifically provided for herein, each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Assignment, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect both to Secured Obligations and any collateral therefor, each Grantor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, of any Person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable. Secured Party shall have no duty as to the protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto except as otherwise required by Law. Secured Party may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for liability. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the Collateral unless such waiver be in writing and signed by the Secured Party.

8. Costs and Expenses.

In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Upon delivery of such Instrument of Joinder to and acceptance thereof by Secured Party, notice of which acceptance is hereby waived by Grantors, each such additional Grantor shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Grantor were an original signatory hereof. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its Secured Obligations and the Liens upon its Collateral granted herein shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of additional Grantors hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to became an additional Grantor hereunder. This Assignment shall be fully effective as to any Grantor who is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

11. Release of Grantors. This Assignment and all Secured Obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be released when all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements) have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of the Commitment remains outstanding. This Assignment and Secured Obligations of Grantors with respect to any item or portion of Collateral shall be released (i) when such item or portion of Collateral is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Amended and Restated

Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any transaction otherwise not prohibited under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or (ii) if such release is approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon any release of Grantors’ Secured Obligations hereunder, Secured Party shall promptly return any Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall promptly endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s interests arising under this Assignment, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Grantors.

12. Additional Powers and Authorization.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Secured Party may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and may vest any of them with any Property (including, without limitation, any Collateral assigned hereunder), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.

13. [Reserved]

Grantors and Secured Party may from time to time agree in writing to the release of certain of the Collateral from the security interest created hereby.

(b) This Assignment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c) This Assignment and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the United States, and, to the extent that the Laws of the United States are not applicable, by the local Laws of New York.

(d) Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted under this Assignment shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly given if done in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

EXHIBIT O TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED COMPLETION RESERVE ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED COMPLETION RESERVE ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of August , 2004, by and among PINNACLE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. (“Pledgor”), XXXXXX COMMERCIAL PAPER INC., in its capacity as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (“Pledgee”), and XXXXXX BROTHERS INC. (“Securities Intermediary”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Recitals

A. Pledgor, Pledgee and certain other financial institutions (the “Existing Lenders”) have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2003 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Existing Lenders agreed to lend to Pledgor certain amounts, all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement, and all other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).

B. Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, Pledgor granted to Pledgee a security interest in the Completion Reserve Account (account number ) (the “Collateral Account”) held by Securities Intermediary together with all financial assets, investment property, securities, cash and other property now or hereafter held therein, and the proceeds thereof, all as more particularly described in that certain Collateral Account Control Agreement (the “Existing Control Agreement”), dated as of December 17, 2003 (the Collateral referred to therein being herein referred to as the “Collateral”).

C. Pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August , 2004 by and among Pledgor, Pledgee and certain other financial institutions (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), the Existing Credit Agreement is being amended and restated, among other things, to extend the term of the term loan facility, and increase the aggregate principal amount of credit facilities thereunder.

D. The parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Existing Control Agreement, among other things, to address the changes to the Completion Reserve Account resulting from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the liens created under the Existing Control Agreement will continue in full force and effect as security for the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

E. Pledgor, Pledgee and Securities Intermediary agree that the Collateral Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (the “UCC”) and that all Collateral held in the Collateral Account will continue to be treated as financial assets under the UCC.

Agreement

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows (which agreement by Pledgor will be construed as instructions to Securities Intermediary):

1. Securities Intermediary is instructed to continue the pledge of the Collateral granted hereby on its book. Securities Intermediary shall continue to hold all certificated securities that comprise all or part of the Collateral with effective endorsements to Securities Intermediary or in blank, or will, deliver possession of such certificated securities to Pledgee.

2. Securities Intermediary is instructed to continue to deliver to Pledgee copies of monthly statements on the Collateral Account.

3. The Collateral Account will be re-named: “Xxxxxx Commercial Paper Inc. Collateral Account for Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (Current Project Completion Reserve Account) under Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August , 2004.”

4. All dividends, interest, gains and other profits with respect to the Collateral Account will continue to be reported in the name and tax identification number of Pledgor.

5. Securities Intermediary may not, without the prior written consent of Pledgee, deliver, release or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein unless the proceeds thereof are held or reinvested in the Collateral Account as part of the Collateral or applied by Securities Intermediary to the satisfaction of an obligation owed to it with respect to commissions, fees, and payments described in paragraph 9.

6. Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with any order or instruction from Pledgee concerning the Collateral Account, including an order or instruction directing sale, transfer or redemption of all or part of the Collateral and the remittance of the proceeds thereof, if any, to Pledgee, without further consent by Pledgor. Prior to receipt of a notice of sole control from Pledgee, Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with any order or instruction from Pledgor to invest the balance of the Collateral Account in Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgor for complying with any order or instruction, whether oral or written, concerning the Collateral Account originated by Pledgee and shall have no responsibility to investigate the appropriateness of any such order or instruction, even if Pledgor notifies Securities Intermediary that Pledgee is not legally entitled to originate any such order or instruction. In the event of any conflict between an order issued by Pledgor and an order issued by Pledgee, Securities Intermediary shall comply with the order issued by Pledgee. Securities Intermediary shall be able to rely upon any notice or order that it reasonably believes to be genuine. Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgee with respect to the value of the Collateral Account or any of the Collateral. This Agreement does not create any obligation or duty on the part of Securities Intermediary other than those expressly set forth herein.

7. Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any loss or damage with respect to any matter that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by Securities Intermediary’s gross

negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Securities Intermediary be responsible for indirect or consequential damages, regardless of any notice, or any loss or damage caused, directly or indirectly, by conditions beyond its control. Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold Securities Intermediary, its directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and/or damages, including, without limitation, any and all costs, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by Securities Intermediary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Pledgee agrees to indemnify and hold Securities Intermediary, its directors, officers, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and/or damages, including, without limitation, any and all costs, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may arise or result from Securities Intermediary complying with the instructions and orders of Pledgee given in connection with Pledgee’s exercise of its control over and secured rights in the Collateral Account. The indemnities of Pledgor and Pledgee set forth in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8. Securities Intermediary represents that it has not received notice regarding any lien, encumbrance or other claim to the Collateral or the Collateral Account from any other person and has not entered into an agreement with any third party to act on such third party’s instructions without consent of Pledgor. Securities Intermediary further agrees not to enter into any such agreement with any third party.

9. Securities Intermediary subordinates to the lien and security interest of Pledgee any right of setoff, encumbrance, security interest or other claim that it may have against the Collateral, except for (i) customary commissions and fees arising from permitted trading activity within the Collateral Account, and (ii) payment owed to Securities Intermediary for open trade commitments for the purchase and/or sale of financial assets in and for the Collateral Account.

10. To the extent a conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and any account agreement between Pledgor and Securities Intermediary, the terms of this Agreement will control.

11. The terms of this Agreement will in no way be further modified except by a writing signed by all parties hereto.

12. Securities Intermediary reserves the right, unilaterally, to terminate this Agreement, such termination to be effective thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to Pledgor and Pledgee. At the end of such thirty (30) day period, Securities Intermediary will deliver all assets held in the Collateral Account to Pledgee unless Pledgee and Pledgor deliver joint instructions to Securities Intermediary during such thirty (30) day period to deliver or transfer the assets held in the Collateral Account to another party or securities intermediary. Nothing set forth in this provision shall be deemed to limit the right of Pledgee to issue orders or instructions to Securities Intermediary pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof. Pledgor shall have the right, unilaterally, to terminate this Agreement after all obligations under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, such termination to be effective upon written notice thereof to Securities

Intermediary and Pledgee. Termination shall not affect any of the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto incurred before the effective date of termination.

13. This Agreement and the instructions and orders required or permitted to be executed and delivered hereunder set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, without limitation to paragraph 10 above, supersede any prior agreement and contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties concerning its subject matter.

14. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice, order, instruction, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by facsimile or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error free receipt is received or upon receipt of notice sent by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the address set forth below.

15. If any party to this Agreement is not a natural person, the person executing this Agreement on behalf of such party hereby represents that he or she has the proper authority to execute this Agreement on behalf of such party.

16. The construction and effect of every provision of this Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder and any questions arising out of the Agreement, shall be governed by the statutory and common law of the State of New York without reference to the conflict of law provisions thereof. The State of New York shall be deemed to be Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement for the purposes of the UCC, notwithstanding any other agreement designating any other jurisdiction for any other purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Amended and Restated Completion Reserve Account Control Agreement as of the first date indicated above and effective as of the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT R TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is delivered in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August , 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”), among PINNACLE ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each bank and other financial institution or entity from time to time party thereto, XXXXXX BROTHERS INC., and BEAR, XXXXXXX & CO. INC., as joint advisors, joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, BEAR XXXXXXX CORPORATE LENDING INC., as syndication agent, and XXXXXX BROTHERS COMMERCIAL PAPER INC., as administrative agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement.

For purposes of this Certificate, “Transactions” means (i) the fulfillment of all conditions to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the funding of such Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, if any, on the Effective Date and the use of the proceeds thereof on the Effective Date, (ii) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and (iii) the payment of all fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing.

I hereby certify on behalf of the Loan Parties as follows:

1. I am the duly qualified and acting chief financial officer of the Borrower and in such capacity am a senior financial officer with responsibility for the management of the financial affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the preparation of the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. I, together with other officers of the Borrower, acted on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In connection with the following certifications, I have reviewed the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Borrower.

2. I have carefully reviewed the contents of this Certificate, and I have conferred with counsel for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the purpose of discussing the meaning of its contents and the purpose for which it is to be used. I have made such investigations and inquiries as I have deemed to be necessary and prudent, and have reviewed the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. I am providing this Certificate solely in my capacity as an officer of the Borrower.

3. As of the date hereof, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a) through (d) of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

4. In connection with the negotiation and execution of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, I have caused the preparation of the projections that have been delivered to the Lenders pursuant to the Fee Letter dated July 22, 2004, among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent (the “Projections”). A true, correct and complete copy of the Projections are attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Projections were prepared on the basis of information available as of the date thereof. The Projections were prepared based on good faith estimates of the Borrower’s senior management team. I know of

no facts which have occurred since the date of the Projections through the date hereof which would lead me to believe that the Projections are inaccurate in any material respect. The assumptions upon which the Projections are based are stated therein, which assumptions I believe are reasonable. Based thereon, I believe that the Projections, taken as a whole over the periods reflected therein, provide reasonable estimates of future performance of the Loan Parties (it being understood that the Projections are by their nature inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be achieved).

5. For purposes of delivering this Certificate, including the preparation of the Projections delivered herewith as Exhibit A and the Pro Forma Balance Sheet delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement, I have:

(a) reviewed the appraisal valuation letters delivered or required to be delivered on or before the date hereof pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(b) consulted with counsel for the Loan Parties concerning, among other matters, pending and threatened litigation, uninsured risks, Guarantee Obligations and other contingent obligations, and I have determined that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities or liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases other than those permitted hereunder or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement;

(c) reviewed the audited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such date;

(d) reviewed the unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of June 30, 2004 and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal quarter and the year-to-date ended on such date; and

(e) made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate and have taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties after consummation of the Transactions.

Based upon the foregoing, I have reached the following conclusions:

(A) The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not now, and the consummation of the Transactions will not render them, “insolvent” as defined below. I understand that in this context, “insolvent” means that the present fair salable value of assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is less than the amount that will be required to pay their probable liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured. I have assumed that in this context “fair salable value” means the price available upon the sale of such assets by a willing seller to a willing buyer, where material information as to the asset and the market for such asset is known to both, and where neither is under any compulsion to consummate the transaction. I also understand that (i) the term “debts” includes any liability on

a “claim”, and (ii) “claim” means any (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

(B) The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not incur, and do not intend to incur or believe that they would incur, debts beyond their ability to pay as they mature as a result of the consummation of the Transactions. I have based my conclusion in part on the Projections which demonstrate that Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will have sufficient cash flow and cash resources after paying all of their scheduled anticipated indebtedness (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, scheduled payments by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and other indebtedness and liabilities permitted under the Credit Agreement). I have concluded that the realization on the current assets in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is expected to be sufficient to pay current recurring debt, current short-term debt and current long-term debt service of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and that the cash flow and cash resources (including earnings plus non-cash charges to earnings and, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the disposition of assets held for sale and refinancings supported by such cash flow) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is expected to be sufficient to provide cash necessary to repay indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including, in the case of the Borrower, the indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and liabilities permitted under the Credit Agreement) as the same matures.

(C) The consummation of the Transactions will not leave Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with property remaining in their hands constituting “unreasonably small capital.” I have assumed for purposes of reaching this conclusion that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in light of the Projections and available credit capacity.

(D) No Loan Party has executed the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Letters of Credit, any other Loan Documents, in each case, to which such Loan Party is a party or made any transfer or incurred any obligations in connection with the Transactions, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors.

I understand that the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing in connection with the extension of credit to the Borrower on the Effective Date pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

I represent the foregoing information to be, to the best of my knowledge and belief, after diligent inquiry, true, correct and complete in all material respects and execute this Solvency Certificate as the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower as of August , 2004.

FORM OF COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Assignment”) is made as of , 2004, by and among PINNACLE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. (“Assignor”), XXXXXX COMMERCIAL PAPER INC. (in its capacity as administrative agent including its successors and assigns as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) from time to time parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement executed as of , 2004 (as amended, restated, or amended and restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and the LAND CLEARANCE FOR REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS (“LCRA”) with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS

In connection with the development of certain real property located in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, as described on Exhibit A attached to the Redevelopment Agreement (defined below) and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Property”), Assignor and LCRA have entered into that certain Redevelopment Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2004 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Redevelopment Agreement”).

Assignor’s subsidiaries currently hold a fee interest in the Property (such subsidiaries are referred to herein as “Owners”).

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make certain credit facilities available to the Assignor, for the purpose of, among other things, the development of the Property.

To secure Assignor’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement, Owners will each execute an Amendment to Deed of Trust with Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement in standard Missouri form (each, as may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Mortgage”) in favor of Lenders and to be recorded against a portion of the Property owned by such Owner. The Credit Agreement and the Mortgages and all other documents defined in the Credit Agreement as a “Loan Document”, and any and all other present or future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto or replacements thereof, shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents.”

As a condition to the Lenders making the credit facilities available under the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent has required a collateral assignment from Assignor of all of its rights under the Redevelopment Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. ASSIGNMENT. As additional collateral for the Assignor’s obligations under the Loan Documents, Assignor hereby assigns pursuant to Section 4.2.1 of the Redevelopment Agreement to Administrative Agent all of the rights and powers of

Assignor, and its permitted successors and assigns, under the Redevelopment Agreement, it being understood that the rights of the Administrative Agent or any designee thereof shall be no greater than those of the Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement.

2. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF ASSIGNOR. Assignor shall perform and observe in a timely manner all conditions and obligations on the part of Assignor to be performed or observed under the Redevelopment Agreement. Assignor will not enter into any material modification of the Redevelopment Agreement that could reasonably adversely affect the Lenders without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and will promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of any consents or other approvals which it receives from LCRA under the Redevelopment Agreement. Assignor will promptly notify Administrative Agent if it receives a notice of non-compliance or notice of default under the Redevelopment Agreement from LCRA. Assignor authorizes Administrative Agent to cure any event of non-compliance or default, to the same extent as Assignor may cure such event of non-compliance or default, specified in any notice of non-compliance or notice of default which Assignor may receive under the Redevelopment Agreement.

3. ESTOPPEL. The Assignor and LCRA each hereby certifies to Administrative Agent as of the date hereof as follows:

a. The Redevelopment Agreement is currently in full force and effect without any further amendment or supplement, an accurate and complete copy of the Redevelopment Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to an unrecorded copy of this Assignment delivered by the parties hereto to the Administrative Agent, and neither Assignor nor LCRA has previously assigned any of their respective rights, title or interests under the Redevelopment Agreement; and

b. To the best of their knowledge, there is no uncured default or event of non-compliance (or uncured event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default or non-compliance) under the Redevelopment Agreement, and neither Assignor nor LCRA has given any notice of non-compliance or notice of default under the Redevelopment Agreement.

4. AGREEMENTS AND APPROVALS BY LCRA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Redevelopment Agreement, LCRA agrees to the following provisions:

a. LCRA hereby acknowledges the assignment by Assignor of all of its rights, title and interests under the Redevelopment Agreement to Administrative Agent as additional collateral for the Assignor’s obligations under the Loan Documents and, to the extent such consent is required under the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement and applicable law, consents thereto.

b. LCRA shall have the right to approve any and all transfers of all or any portion of the Property to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s successors, assigns or nominees (herein, a “Permitted Transferee”) pursuant to the exercise of the rights granted to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents,

including, without limitation, the approval of the successful bidder at any foreclosure or sale held to foreclose either of the Mortgages, or to any other transferee by reason of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise pursuant to the rights granted under any such instruments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent has no obligation or liability for any of the obligations and liabilities of Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement, and shall have no such obligation or liability, unless and until the Administrative Agent acquires title to the Property through foreclosure or similar proceedings, provided that any Permitted Transferee of the Administrative Agent shall assume, by documents reasonably acceptable to LCRA, all obligations and liabilities of the Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement concurrently with its acquisition of the interests of the Assignor in the Property.

c. LCRA acknowledges that the Assignor is not permitted to enter into any material modification of the Redevelopment Agreement that could reasonably adversely affect the Lenders without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

d. LCRA agrees that the Administrative Agent (insofar as the rights of LCRA are concerned) shall have the right, at its option, within a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of ten (10) business days in the case of any failure to pay money, after its receipt of any notice or demand with respect to any event of default or other event of breach or non-compliance by Assignor under the Redevelopment Agreement, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any default and to add the cost thereof to the lien of the applicable Mortgage. If such default shall be of a nature or type which can only be reasonably remedied or cured by Administrative Agent upon obtaining possession of the Property, or applicable portion thereof, and Administrative Agent seeks to obtain possession with diligence, through appointment of a receiver or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall have such a reasonable period of time after so obtaining possession to cure such default; provided further, that so long as Administrative Agent commences the cure or remedy of such default within a reasonable period of time and thereafter diligently and with reasonable continuity prosecutes such cure or remedy to completion as soon as reasonably practicable, Administrative Agent shall have the right to continue to prosecute any cure or remedy.

e. LCRA agrees that if Administrative Agent or any Permitted Transferee acquires title to the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of the rights granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any prior defaults by Assignor or any of the obligations and liabilities of Assignor (including, without limitation, indemnity and defense obligations) in connection with the Property or under the Redevelopment Agreement.

f. Except for LCRA’s approval rights of any Permitted Transferee, nothing contained herein or in the Redevelopment Agreement shall (i) impair the exercise by Administrative Agent at any time of any and all remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, commencement, prosecution and

completion of foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or (ii) impair, defeat or render invalid the lien of the Mortgages.

6. ASSIGNMENT BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. LCRA and Assignor acknowledge and agree that Administrative Agent shall have the right to transfer its interest in and rights under this Assignment to any party which Administrative Agent may elect to nominate to acquire, subject to the approval of LCRA , in its sole discretion, and hold title on Administrative Agent’s or Permitted Transferee’s behalf, provided, however, that any such transferee which intends to operate the improvements shall hold an appropriate gaming license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission.

11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Assignment shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, executors, administrators, receivers, trustees (including trustees under section 11 of the United States Code), successors and assigns of Assignor, Administrative Agent and LCRA.

12. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party hereto shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other party all documents, and shall take all actions, reasonably required by such other party from time to time to confirm or effect the matters set forth herein, or otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Assignment.

13. TERMINATION.

provided, however, that this assignment may be terminated by LCRA, in its sole discretion, in the event Assignor fails to timely provide to LCRA a letter of credit in the amount of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for the benefit of LCRA in satisfaction of its obligation under Section 4.21.3 of the Redevelopment Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly reply to any inquiry from the other parties hereto as to whether this Assignment has been so terminated.

14. COUNTERPARTS. This Assignment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute and be construed as one and the same instrument.

15. NONLIABILITY OF OFFICERS. No officer, official, member, employee, agent, or representative of LCRA or the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the “City”) shall be personally liable to Administrative Agent or Assignor, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by LCRA or the City for any amount which may become due to Assignor or Administrative Agent or successor pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement under the terms of this Assignment.
