PROSPECTUS

LOGO

Station Casinos LLC

$625,000,000 Senior Notes due 2018



        The Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Notes") were issued in exchange for the Senior Notes due 2018 originally issued on February 22, 2012 (the "Old Notes").

        The Notes were issued under the indenture dated as of January 3, 2012 and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2012, among the Company, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the "Indenture").

        Cash interest on the Notes initially accrues at the rate of 3.65% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, commencing June 15, 2012. The interest rate will increase to 3.66% on June 16, 2012, 3.67% on June 16, 2013, 4.87% on June 16, 2014, to 7.22% on June 16, 2016 and to 9.54% on June 16, 2017. The Notes will mature on June 18, 2018. A duration fee equal to 1.00% of the then outstanding amount of the Notes (if any) will be payable on June 17, 2016 and June 19, 2017. Beginning on December 31, 2012, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we experience a change in control, we must give holders of the Notes the opportunity to sell us their Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (unless the Notes are or have been otherwise redeemed). If we or our restricted subsidiaries engage in asset sales, we generally must either invest the net cash proceeds from such sales in its business within a period of time, prepay secured debt or make an offer to purchase an amount of the Notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds. The purchase price of the Notes will be 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes are our general senior unsecured obligations. The Notes and the related guarantees rank senior in right of payment to all our existing and future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and equally in right of payment with all our existing and future senior liabilities. The Notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt, including our term loan and revolving credit facility (the "Propco Credit Agreement") and other secured debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis (each, a "guarantee") by each of our restricted subsidiaries that guarantees our obligations under the Propco Credit Agreement. Our restricted subsidiaries are comprised of our subsidiaries that own Red Rock Casino Resort Spa ("Red Rock"), Palace Station Hotel & Casino ("Palace Station"), Boulder Station Hotel & Casino ("Boulder Station"), Sunset Station Hotel & Casino ("Sunset Station"), NP Development LLC and NP Losee Elkhorn Holdings LLC (each, a "Guarantor"). Station Casinos LLC and the Guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the "Station Casinos Guarantor Group." The Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and preferred stock of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes (the "Unrestricted Subsidiary Group").

        We do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange.

        You should consider the "Risk factors" beginning on page 18 of this prospectus in connection with an investment in the Notes.

        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

        Neither the Nevada Gaming Commission nor the Nevada Gaming Control Board or any other gaming authority has approved or disapproved of the notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus or the investment merits of the notes offered hereby.

        This prospectus has been prepared for and may be used by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and its affiliates in connection with offers and sales of the notes related to market-making transactions in the notes effected from time to time. Such affiliates may act as principal or agent in such transactions, including as agent for the counterparty when acting as principal or as agent for both counterparties, and may receive compensation in the form of discounts and commissions, including from both counterparties, when it acts as agents for both. Such sales will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related thereto or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from such sales.

   

The date of this Prospectus is [                    ], 2012.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider in determining whether to invest in the Notes. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors," our financial statements and the related notes and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations thereof included elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making a decision to purchase the Notes.

        As discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Station Casinos, Inc. ("STN") in connection with STN's plan of reorganization that was consummated on June 17, 2011 (the "Effective Date"). Unless otherwise noted, the terms the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Station Casinos LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods following the Effective Date and to STN and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as "Station") for periods prior to the Effective Date. The term "Issuer" refers only to Station Casinos LLC and the term "Guarantors" refers to our restricted subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Notes and the Propco Credit Agreement, comprised of our subsidiaries that own Red Rock, Palace Station, Boulder Station and Sunset Station, and NP Development LLC and NP Losee Elkhorn Holdings LLC.


Our Company

        We are a gaming and entertainment company established in 1976 that develops and operates casino entertainment facilities. We currently own and operate nine major hotel/casino properties under the Station and Fiesta brands and eight smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. We also manage Gun Lake Casino in Allegan County, Michigan.

        We operate our properties under four distinct brand categories: Luxury (Red Rock and Green Valley Ranch), Casual Classic (Station), Value (Fiestas) and Neighborhood (Wildfire and Barley's). All of these brand categories offer convenience and choices to residents throughout the Las Vegas valley with our strategically located portfolio of properties. Each of our properties caters primarily to local Las Vegas area residents. We believe that our out-of-town patrons are also discerning customers who enjoy a value-oriented, high-quality experience. We believe that our patrons view our hotel and casino product as a preferable alternative to attractions located on the Las Vegas Strip and in downtown Las Vegas.

        Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming, primarily slot revenue, and we use our non-gaming amenities to drive customer traffic to our casino properties. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing, fund maintenance capital expenditures and provide excess cash for future development.

        We believe the high-quality entertainment experience we provide our customers also differentiates us from our competitors. Our casino properties are conveniently located throughout the Las Vegas valley and provide our customers a wide variety of entertainment and dining options. We believe we surpass our competitors in offering casino patrons the newest and most popular slot and video games featuring the latest technology.

        Our subsidiaries that own Red Rock, Palace Station, Boulder Station and Sunset Station, and NP Development LLC and NP Losee Elkhorn Holdings LLC will guarantee our obligations under the Notes. None of our other subsidiaries, which own our other properties and have significant assets and operations and substantial indebtedness, will guarantee our obligations under the Notes.

        Palace Station.    Palace Station, which opened in 1976, is strategically located at the intersection of Sahara Avenue and Interstate 15, one of Las Vegas' most heavily traveled areas. Palace Station is a short distance from McCarran International Airport and from major attractions on the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Las Vegas. Palace Station features a turn-of-the-20th-century railroad station theme with non-gaming amenities including newly remodeled hotel rooms, seven full-service restaurants, a 275-seat entertainment lounge, four additional bars, two swimming pools, an approximately 20,000-square-foot banquet and convention center, a gift shop and a non-gaming video arcade.

Our Business Strategy

    innovative, frequent and high-profile promotional programs directed towards the Las Vegas locals market;

    convenient locations;

    offering our customers the latest in slot and video poker technology;

    focused marketing efforts targeting our extensive customer database; and

Table of Contents

    development of strong relationships with specifically targeted travel wholesalers in addition to convention business.

        The Las Vegas locals market is very competitive, and we compete with both large hotel casinos in Las Vegas and smaller gaming-only establishments throughout the Las Vegas valley.

        Provide a High-Value Experience.    Because we target repeat customers, we are committed to providing a high-value entertainment experience for our customers in the restaurants, hotels, casinos and other entertainment amenities. We have developed regional entertainment destinations for locals that include other amenities such as spas, movie theaters, bowling centers, ice skating, live entertainment venues and child care facilities. We believe the value offered by the restaurants at each of our casino properties is a major factor in attracting local gaming customers, as dining is a primary motivation for casino visits by many locals. Through their restaurants, each of which has a distinct style of cuisine, our casino properties offer generous portions of high-quality food at reasonable prices. Our operating strategy focuses on slot and video poker machine play. Our target market consists of frequent gaming patrons who seek a friendly atmosphere and convenience. Because locals and repeat visitors demand variety and quality in their slot and video poker machine play, we offer the latest in slot and video poker technology at our casino properties. As part of our commitment to providing a quality entertainment experience for our patrons, we are dedicated to ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing attentive customer service in a friendly, casual atmosphere.

        Marketing and Promotion.    We employ an innovative marketing strategy that utilizes frequent high-profile promotional programs in order to attract customers and establish a high level of name recognition. In addition to marketing through television, radio and newspaper, we have created and sponsored promotions that have become a tradition in the locals market, such as our Jumbo Brand products and our annual Great Giveaway promotion.

        Our Boarding Pass player rewards program allows guests to earn points based on their level of gaming activity. Participants in the program can redeem points at any of our Las Vegas-area properties for cash and complimentary slot play, food, beverage, hotel rooms, movie passes, entertainment tickets and merchandise.

        We are heavily focused on using cutting-edge technology to drive customer traffic with products created by us, such as our Jumbo Brand products, which include "Jumbo Pennies," "Jumbo Bingo," "Jumbo Keno" and "Jumbo Hold'Em." Other products include "Xtra Play Cash" and "Sports Connection," among others. We believe that these products create sustainable competitive advantages and will continue to distinguish us from our competition.

        Employee Relations.    Station began as a family-run business in 1976 and has maintained close-knit relationships amongst its management, and endeavors to instill among our employees this same sense of loyalty. Toward this end, we take a hands-on approach through active and direct involvement with employees at all levels. We believe we have very good employee relations. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—Union organization activities could disrupt our business by discouraging patrons from visiting our properties, causing labor disputes or work stoppages, and, if successful, could significantly increase our labor costs."


Restructuring Transactions

        In November 2007, STN effected a going-private transaction (the "2007 Going Private Transaction") which involved the acquisition of all of the then outstanding shares of common stock of STN. In connection with the 2007 Going Private Transaction, affiliates of Colony Capital, LLC invested an aggregate of $2.7 billion in cash to acquire an indirect interest in approximately 75.9% of the equity interest in STN and stockholders of STN, including affiliates of the Fertittas, rolled over shares of STN common stock with a value of approximately $900.6 million, resulting in an indirect interest of

Table of Contents

approximately 24.1% equity interest in STN. STN also incurred approximately $3.65 billion of debt to consummate the 2007 Going Private Transaction.

        Shortly after the consummation of the 2007 Going Private Transaction, the economy in the United States sharply declined, consumer spending deteriorated and the credit markets severely contracted. The decline in the economy, diminished consumer confidence and the unavailability of credit was devastating to the gaming industry generally and Las Vegas in particular. STN experienced a significant reduction in revenues. After engaging in various restructuring efforts in 2008 and the first half of 2009, STN and certain of its subsidiaries filed cases under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases") on July 28, 2009.

In conjunction with these transfers: (i) our voting equity interests (the "Voting Units") were issued to Station Voteco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed to hold the Voting Units of the Company ("Station Voteco"), which is owned by (a) Robert A. Cashell Jr. and Stephen J. Greathouse and (b) an entity owned by Frank J. Fertitta III, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our Board of Managers, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, a member of our Board of Managers and (ii) our non-voting equity interests (the "Non-Voting Units" together with our Voting Units, our "units") were issued to Station Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed to hold the Non-Voting Units of the Company ("Station Holdco"), which is currently owned by German American Capital Corporation (an affiliate of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.) ("GACC"), FI Station Investor LLC, a newly formed limited liability company owned by affiliates of Frank J. Fertitta III and Lorenzo J. Fertitta ("FI Station Investor"), and the holders of STN's senior and senior subordinated notes.

        In addition, on the Effective Date, we and our subsidiaries entered into:

    The Propco Credit Agreement among the Company, Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and the other lender parties thereto, consisting of a term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.575 billion and a revolving credit facility in the amount of $125 million. On January 3, 2012 an aggregate principal amount of $625 million in term loans outstanding under the Propco Credit Agreement was exchanged for Notes (the "Exchange").

    A new first lien credit agreement among Station GVR Acquisition, LLC ("GVR Borrower"), Jefferies Finance LLC and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as initial lenders (collectively,

      the "GVR Lenders"), consisting of a revolving credit facility in the amount of $10 million and a term loan facility in the amount of $215 million ("GVR First Lien Credit Agreement") and a new second lien credit agreement with the GVR Lenders with a term loan facility in the amount of $90 million (the "GVR Second Lien Credit Agreement" and together with the GVR First Lien Credit Agreement, the "GVR Credit Agreements").

Table of Contents

Certain Covenants

 

The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries to:

 

pay dividends or distributions (other than customary tax distributions) or make certain other restricted payments or investments;

 

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or create subordinated indebtedness that is not subordinated to the Notes or the guarantees;

 

create liens;

 

transfer and sell assets;

 

merge, consolidate, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

 

enter into certain transactions with affiliates;

 

engage in lines of business other than its core business and related businesses; and

 

create restrictions on dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries.

 

In addition, the indenture governing the Notes contains covenants relating to additional subsidiary guarantees in certain circumstances and the furnishing of customary reports to the noteholders. Unrestricted subsidiaries are not subject to the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Notes.

 

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants."

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

While not free from doubt, the Issuer intends to treat the Notes as "contingent payment debt instruments" ("CPDIs") that are subject to special rules. While these rules are complicated and the precise application of these rules to the Notes is not entirely clear, the main effect of these rules on a holder subject to U.S. federal income taxation is to require such holder to accrue on a current basis (as ordinary income) such holder's economic yield on the Notes (i.e., the sum of the stated interest payments and the amount, if any, by which the stated principal amount of the Notes exceeds the holder's purchase price in approximately the same manner as if all of such economic yield were treated as original issue discount. See "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" for a more detailed discussion.

Risk Factors

 

See "Risk Factors" and the other information in this prospectus for a discussion of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in the Notes.

(a)
Development and preopening expenses include costs to identify potential gaming opportunities and other development opportunities, as well as expenses incurred prior to the opening of projects under development, primarily payroll, travel and legal expenses. Development and preopening expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a $7.2 million accrual for non-reimbursable milestone payments that are expected to be paid in 2016 and 2017. A $4.0 million milestone payment is included in development and preopening expense for the year ended December 31, 2009.

(b)
During the year ended December 31, 2010, STN recorded approximately $262.0 million in non-cash impairment charges to write-down certain portions of its goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, investments in joint ventures and land held for development to their fair values. During the year ended December 31, 2009, STN recorded approximately $1.28 billion in non-cash impairment charges to write-down certain portions of its goodwill, intangible assets, investments in joint ventures, land held for development and Native American project costs to their fair values. During the year ended December 31, 2008, STN recorded approximately $3.34 billion in asset impairment charges to write-down certain portions of its goodwill, intangible assets, investments in joint ventures and land held for development to their fair values.

(c)
Write-downs and other charges, net includes charges related to non-routine transactions such as losses on asset disposals, severance expense, legal settlements, write-offs of cancelled projects, and other non-routine transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of economic conditions, Station wrote off $44.6 million in costs related to abandonment of various projects under development.

(d)
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Rancho Road joint venture was dissolved and STN recognized a $124.2 million gain on dissolution as a result of writing off the deficit carrying value of this investment.

(e)
During the year ended December 31, 2010, STN's losses from joint ventures resulted primarily from recording its 50% share of asset impairment losses at Aliante Station. During the year ended December 31, 2009, STN's losses from joint ventures resulted primarily from recording its 50% share of impairment losses on land held by the Rancho Road joint venture and its share of asset impairment charges and operating losses from Aliante Station, which opened in November 2008. STN's earnings from joint ventures were impacted during the year ended December 31, 2008 by increased preopening expenses incurred prior to the opening of Aliante Station.

(f)
During 2009, STN recorded a gain on early retirement of debt of $40.3 million as a result of its repurchase of $40.0 million of its outstanding 67/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and $8.0 million of its outstanding 61/2% Senior Subordinated Notes.

RISK FACTORS

        An investment in the Notes involves a significant degree of risk, including the risks described herein. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained under "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this prospectus in determining whether to invest in the Notes. Any of the following risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and thus cause the value of the Notes to decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment in the Notes.


Risks Related to our Business

         We incurred operating losses in recent fiscal periods. Unless we are able to continue to improve the results of operations of the assets that we acquired pursuant to the Plans, we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our debt obligations and finance all operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures.

        Although we generated operating income of $58.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and $72.5 million for the period June 17, 2011 through December 31, 2011, STN incurred operating losses of $0.2 billion, $1.2 billion and $3.2 billion for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and we may incur operating losses in the future. We may be unable to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows to service our debt obligations as they come due, finance capital expenditures and meet our operational needs. Any one of these failures may preclude us from, among other things:

    maintaining or enhancing our properties;

    taking advantage of future opportunities;

    growing our business; or

    responding to competitive pressures.

        Further, our failure to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows could lead to cash flow and working capital constraints, which may require us to seek additional working capital. We may not be able to obtain such working capital when it is required. Further, even if we were able to obtain additional working capital, it may only be available on unfavorable terms. For example, we may be required to take on additional debt, and servicing the payments on such debt which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Limited liquidity and working capital may also restrict our ability to maintain and update our casino properties, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage to casinos offering more modern and better maintained facilities.

         Our business is sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending as a result of downturns in the economy.

        Consumer demand for casino hotel properties, such as ours, is sensitive to downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities. Changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences brought about by factors such as perceived or actual general economic conditions and customer confidence in the economy, unemployment, the current housing and credit crisis, the impact of high energy and food costs, the potential for continued bank failures, perceived or actual changes in disposable consumer income and wealth, effects or fears of war and future acts of terrorism could further reduce customer demand for the amenities that we offer and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The current housing

18


Table of Contents

crisis and economic slowdown in the United States has resulted in significant unemployment and a significant decline in the amount of tourism and spending in Las Vegas. This decline has adversely affected us and may continue to adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

         The economic downturn adversely impacted our business. Adverse economic conditions and declines in consumer confidence may negatively impact our revenues and other operating results in the future.

        Our casinos draw a substantial number of customers from the Las Vegas valley, as well as certain geographic areas, including Southern California, Arizona and Utah. The economies of these areas have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted due to a number of factors, including unemployment, declining real estate values and a decrease in consumer confidence levels. The resulting severe economic downturn and adverse conditions in the local markets negatively affected our operations. Although our market has shown signs of stabilization in recent periods, we cannot be sure that the market will continue to improve and adverse economic conditions may negatively affect our operations in the future.

        Based on information from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, gaming revenues in Clark County for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 4.4% from the level in the comparable period of the prior year. Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 and quarter ended March 31, 2012 increased by approximately 5.7% and 8.4%, respectively, over the same periods one year prior. However, Las Vegas gaming revenues and operators were severely negatively impacted by the economic downturn and there can be no assurance that gaming revenues will not decrease in future periods. In addition, the residential real estate market in the United States, and in particular Las Vegas, continues to experience a significant downturn due to declining real estate values. Individual consumers are experiencing higher delinquency rates on various consumer loans and defaults on indebtedness of all kinds have increased. In addition, Las Vegas and our other target markets continue to experience high rates of unemployment. All of these factors have materially and adversely affected our results of operations in the past and may do so in the future. Further declines in real estate values in Las Vegas and the United States and the continuing credit and liquidity concerns could have an adverse affect on our results of operations. Gaming and other leisure activities that we offer represent discretionary expenditures and participation in such activities have been particularly adversely impacted as a result of the economic downturn because consumers have less disposable income to spend on discretionary activities. A future decline in consumer confidence could adversely affect consumer spending at our gaming operations and related facilities and our business generally.

        Furthermore, other uncertainties, including national and global economic conditions, other global events, or terrorist attacks or disasters in or around Southern Nevada could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our casinos use significant amounts of electricity, natural gas and other forms of energy. While no shortages of energy have been experienced, the substantial increase in the cost of electricity and gasoline in the United States has negatively affected our operating results in the past and may negatively affect our business in the future.

         We depend on the Las Vegas locals and repeat visitor markets as our key markets. As a result, we may not be able to attract a sufficient number of guests and gaming customers to make our operations profitable.

        Our operating strategies emphasize attracting and retaining customers from the Las Vegas local and repeat visitor market. All of our casino properties are dependent upon attracting Las Vegas residents. We cannot be sure that we will be able to attract a sufficient number of guests, gaming customers and other visitors in Nevada to make our operations profitable. In addition, our strategy of growth through master-planning of our casinos for future expansion, was developed, in part, based on projected population growth in Las Vegas. During the economic downturn, the Las Vegas valley has

19


Table of Contents

not experienced population growth at the expected rates or at the same rates as it experienced prior to the economic downturn. There can be no assurance that population growth in Las Vegas will return to levels that justify future development, additional casinos or expansion of our existing casino properties or that we will be able to successfully adapt our business strategy to the current economic downturn or any further economic slowdown.

         We face substantial competition in the gaming industry and may experience a loss of market share.

        Our casino properties face competition from all other casinos and hotels in the Las Vegas area including, to some degree, from each other. In addition, our casino properties face competition from all smaller non-restricted gaming locations and restricted gaming locations (locations with 15 or fewer slot machines) in the greater Las Vegas area, including those that primarily target the local and repeat visitor markets. Major additions, expansions or enhancements of existing properties or the construction of new properties by competitors, could also have a material adverse effect on the business of our casino properties. For further details on competition in the gaming industry that affect our business, see "Business—Competition."

        To a lesser extent, our casino properties compete with gaming operations in other parts of the state of Nevada and other gaming markets in the United States and in other parts of the world, with state sponsored lotteries, on-and-off-track pari-mutuel wagering, a system of betting under which wagers are placed in a pool, management receives a fee from the pool, and the remainder of the pool is split among the winning wagers, card rooms, other forms of legalized gaming and online gaming. The gaming industry also includes land-based casinos, dockside casinos, riverboat casinos, racetracks with slots and casinos located on Native American land. There is intense competition among companies in the gaming industry, some of which have significantly greater resources than we do. Several states are currently considering legalizing casino gaming in designated areas and federal and state legislation has been proposed regarding internet poker gaming. Legalized casino gaming in such states and on Native American land and internet gaming will result in strong competition that could adversely affect our operations, particularly to the extent that such gaming is conducted in areas close to our operations.

         We may incur losses that are not adequately covered by insurance, which may harm our results of operations.

        Although we maintain insurance customary and appropriate for our business, we cannot assure you that insurance will be available or adequate to cover all loss and damage to which our business or our assets might be subjected. The lack of adequate insurance for certain types or levels of risk could expose us to significant losses in the event that a catastrophe occurred for which we are underinsured. Any losses we incur that are not adequately covered by insurance may decrease our future operating income, require us to find replacements or repairs for destroyed property and reduce the funds available for payments of our obligations.

         We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of our business. An adverse determination with respect to any such disputed matter could result in substantial losses.

        We are, from time to time, during the ordinary course of operating our businesses, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes, including contract, lease, employment and regulatory claims as well as claims made by visitors to our properties. In addition, there are litigation risks inherent in any construction or development of any of our properties. Certain litigation claims may not be covered entirely or at all by our insurance policies or our insurance carriers may seek to deny coverage. In addition, litigation claims can be expensive to defend and may divert our attention from the operations of our businesses. Further, litigation involving visitors to our properties, even if without merit, can attract adverse media attention. As a result, litigation can have a material adverse effect on our

20


Table of Contents

businesses and, because we cannot predict the outcome of any action, it is possible that adverse judgments or settlements could significantly reduce our earnings or result in losses.

         We may incur delays and budget overruns with respect to future construction projects. Any such delays or cost overruns may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

        We are currently providing funding for the proposed gaming facilities for the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria and the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (collectively, the "Native American Tribes"). We will evaluate expansion opportunities as they become available, and we may in the future develop projects in addition to the proposed facilities for the Native American Tribes.

        Construction projects, such as the proposed gaming facilities for the Native American Tribes, entail significant risks, including the following:

    shortages of material or skilled labor;

    unforeseen engineering, environmental or geological problems;

    work stoppages;

    weather interference;

    floods; and

    unanticipated cost increases,

        any of which can give rise to delays or cost overruns.

        The anticipated costs and construction periods are based upon budgets, conceptual design documents and construction schedule estimates prepared by us in consultation with our architects and contractors. Construction, equipment, staffing requirements, problems or difficulties in obtaining any of the requisite licenses, permits, allocations or authorizations from regulatory authorities can increase the cost or delay the construction or opening of each of the proposed facilities or otherwise affect the project's planned design and features. We cannot be sure that we will not exceed the budgeted costs of these projects or that the projects will commence operations within the contemplated time frame, if at all. Budget overruns and delays with respect to expansion and development projects could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

         We may experience difficulty integrating operations of any acquired companies and developed properties and managing our overall growth which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

        We may not be able to manage effectively our properties, the proposed projects with the Native American Tribes and any future acquired companies or developed properties, or realize any of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions, including streamlining operations or gaining efficiencies from the elimination of duplicative functions. The integration of other companies' assets will require continued dedication of management resources and may temporarily distract attention from our day-to-day business. In addition, to the extent we pursue expansion and acquisition opportunities, we face significant challenges not only in managing and integrating the Gun Lake facility and the proposed projects with the Native American Tribes, but also managing our expansion projects and any other gaming operations we may acquire in the future. Failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

         We are dependent upon Fertitta Entertainment, an entity controlled by Frank J. Fertitta III and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, to operate our casino properties pursuant to long term management contracts. The success of our operations depends on the ability of Fertitta Entertainment to manage effectively our assets and operations.

        Upon consummation of the Restructuring Transactions, we entered into management agreements with subsidiaries of Fertitta Entertainment. The management agreements have scheduled terms of 25 years following the Effective Date and have limited rights of termination. Pursuant to the management agreements, subsidiaries of Fertitta Entertainment have significant discretion in the management and operation of our casino properties. The manager under the management agreements will receive a base management fee equal to two percent of the gross revenues attributable to the managed properties and an incentive management fee equal to five percent of positive EBITDA of the managed properties.

        The success of our casino properties and, in turn, our business, are substantially dependent upon Fertitta Entertainment and its affiliates. Subject to limited restrictions, Fertitta Entertainment and its affiliates are permitted to manage the operations of other gaming companies and the officers and employees of Fertitta Entertainment and its affiliates are not required to devote their full time and attention to managing our casino properties. There can be no assurance that Fertitta Entertainment will be successful at managing and operating our casino properties or that the terms of the Fertitta Entertainment management agreements will be in our best interests.

         We rely on key personnel of Fertitta Entertainment, the loss of the services of whom could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

        Our ability to operate successfully and competitively is dependent, in part, upon the continued services of certain officers and key employees, including but not limited to Frank J. Fertitta III. All of our executive officers, other than Thomas M. Friel, our Executive Vice President and Treasurer, are employees of Fertitta Entertainment. In the event that Fertitta Entertainment and its affiliates cease to manage our casino properties or these officers and/or employees leave Fertitta Entertainment, we might not be able to find suitable replacements. We believe that the loss of the services of these officers and/or employees, including through the termination of the management agreements, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

         Potential conflicts of interest may exist or may arise among our principal equity holders.

        Our board of managers is controlled by persons designated by officers of Fertitta Entertainment and GACC. In addition, certain major actions require the approval of a majority of the managers designated by the affiliate of Fertitta Entertainment and a majority of the managers designated by GACC.

        Affiliates of Fertitta Entertainment are indirect equity holders of the Company and the managers of our operations. In addition, substantially all of our executive officers are employed by Fertitta Entertainment. The interests of Fertitta Entertainment, in its capacity as an affiliate of the managers of our properties, may be different from, or in addition to, its interests as an equity holder. For example, since the affiliates of Fertitta Entertainment that manage our operations are compensated for their management services based on the revenue and EBITDA achieved by our properties, Fertitta Entertainment may have an incentive to support the growth of the revenue and EBITDA of our properties even if doing so would require increased leverage and interest service obligations or increased capital expenditures for our properties. Under certain circumstances, the imposition of increased leverage and interest service obligations on our properties, or the making of an increased amount of capital expenditures, could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.

        Subject to the terms of a non-competition agreement, Fertitta Entertainment or any of its affiliates is permitted to manage certain casinos and properties other than our properties. Accordingly, management of such other casinos and properties by Fertitta Entertainment may create conflicts of interest between the Company and members of management affiliated with Fertitta Entertainment. In addition, such other management opportunities could limit the ability of such members of our management to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on the quality of our governance. We cannot assure you that these potential time conflicts and conflicts of interest will be resolved in the Company's favor.

        In addition, Fertitta Entertainment or its affiliates were granted a perpetual license to use certain of our information technology systems (but not our customer database). Although this license is subject to certain limitations, it enables the licensee thereunder to make use of such information technology systems in connection with assets, entities and projects other than our casino business enterprise that are managed, owned, or operated by Fertitta Entertainment or its affiliates. As a consequence of the foregoing, Fertitta Entertainment has the technological resources necessary to rapidly develop additional business opportunities other than the management of our casino business, which may give Fertitta Entertainment an incentive to focus meaningful attention on such business activities in addition to the management of our casino business.

        Finally, GACC is a lender under certain of our credit facilities, holds indirect non-voting equity interests in the Company and is entitled to designate members of our board of managers. To the extent that it continues to hold interests at multiple levels of the capital structure of the Company, it may have a conflict of interest and make decisions or take actions that reflect its interests as a secured lender, unsecured lender or indirect equity holder of the Company that could have adverse consequences to other stakeholders of the Company.

         Union organization activities could disrupt our business by discouraging patrons from visiting our properties, causing labor disputes or work stoppages, and, if successful, could significantly increase our labor costs.

        None of our casino properties is currently subject to any collective bargaining agreement or similar arrangement with any union, and we believe we have excellent employee relations. However, union activists have actively sought to organize employees at certain of our casino properties in the past, and we believe that such efforts are ongoing at this time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our casino properties will not ultimately be unionized. Union organization efforts that may occur in the future could cause disruptions to our casino properties and discourage patrons from visiting our properties and may cause us to incur significant costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, union activities may result in labor disputes, including work stoppages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, should employees at one or more of our properties organize, collective bargaining would introduce an element of uncertainty into planning our future labor costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the business of our casino properties and our financial condition and results of operations.

         Work stoppages, labor problems and unexpected shutdowns may limit our operational flexibility and negatively impact our future profits.

        Any work stoppage at one or more of our casino properties, including any construction projects which may be undertaken, could require us to expend significant funds to hire replacement workers, and qualified replacement labor may not be available at reasonable costs, if at all. Strikes and work stoppages could also result in adverse media attention or otherwise discourage customers from visiting our casino properties. Strikes and work stoppages involving laborers at any construction project which may be undertaken could result in construction delays and increases in construction costs. As a result, a

23


Table of Contents

strike or other work stoppage at one of our casino properties or any construction project could have an adverse effect on the business of our casino properties and our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will not experience a strike or work stoppage at one or more of our casino properties or any construction project in the future.

        In addition, any unexpected shutdown of one of our casino properties or any construction project could have an adverse effect on the business of our casino properties and our results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be adequately prepared for unexpected events, including political or regulatory actions, which may lead to a temporary or permanent shutdown of any of our casino properties.

         We will regularly pursue new gaming acquisition and development opportunities and may not be able to recover our investment or successfully expand to additional locations.

        We will regularly evaluate and pursue new gaming acquisition and development opportunities in existing and emerging jurisdictions. These opportunities may take the form of joint ventures. To the extent that we decide to pursue any new gaming acquisition or development opportunities, our ability to benefit from such investments will depend upon a number of factors including:

    our ability to identify and acquire attractive acquisition opportunities and development sites;

    our ability to secure required federal, state and local licenses, permits and approvals, which in some jurisdictions are limited in number;

    certain political factors, such as local support or opposition to development of new gaming facilities or legalizing casino gaming in designated areas;

    the availability of adequate financing on acceptable terms (including waivers of restrictions in existing credit arrangements); and

    our ability to identify and develop satisfactory relationships with joint venture partners.

        Most of these factors are beyond our control. Therefore, we cannot be sure that we will be able to recover our investment in any new gaming development opportunities or acquired facilities, or successfully expand to additional locations.

        We have invested in real property in connection with the pursuit of expansion opportunities. These investments are subject to the risks generally incident to the ownership of real property, including:

    changes in economic conditions;

    environmental risks;

    governmental rules and fiscal policies; and

    other circumstances over which we may have little or no control.

        The development of such properties will also be subject to restrictions under our senior secured credit facilities. We cannot be sure that we will be able to recover our investment in any such properties or be able to prevent incurring investment losses.

         We are subject to extensive state and local regulation and licensing and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

        Our ownership and operation of gaming facilities is subject to extensive regulation by the states, counties and cities in which we will operate. These laws, regulations and ordinances vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally concern the responsibility, financial stability and character of the owners and managers of gaming operations as well as persons financially interested or involved in

24


Table of Contents

gaming operations. As such, our gaming regulators can require us to disassociate ourselves from suppliers or business partners found unsuitable by the regulators or, alternatively, cease operations in that jurisdiction. In addition, unsuitable activity on our part or on the part of our domestic or foreign unconsolidated affiliates in any jurisdiction could have a negative effect on our ability to continue operating in other jurisdictions. For a summary of gaming and other regulations that affect our business, see "Business—Regulation and Licensing." The regulatory environment in any particular jurisdiction may change in the future and any such change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, we are subject to various gaming taxes, which are subject to possible increase at any time. Increases in gaming taxation could also adversely affect our results.

         Changes to the gaming tax laws could have an adverse effect on results of operations by increasing the cost of operating our business.

        The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenue, particularly to the State of Nevada and its counties and municipalities. From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax law, or in the administration of such law, affecting the gaming industry. The Nevada Legislature meets every two years for 120 days and when special sessions are called by the Governor. The Nevada Legislature is not currently in session and is next scheduled to meet in 2013. There were no specific proposals during the legislative session to increase gaming taxes; however, there are no assurances an increase in gaming taxes or other taxes impacting gaming licenses or other businesses in general will not be proposed and passed by the Nevada Legislature in a future legislative session. An increase in the gaming tax or other such taxes could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

         The bankruptcy filing has had a negative impact on our image and may negatively impact our business going forward.

        As a result of the bankruptcy, we have been the subject of negative publicity, which has had an impact on our image. This negative publicity may have an effect on the terms under which some customers and suppliers are willing to continue to do business with us and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, future business prospects and results of operations. The impact of this negative publicity cannot be accurately predicted or quantified.

         We may face potential successor liability for liabilities of STN not provided for in the Plan. If we are determined to be liable for obligations of STN, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

        We may be subject to certain liabilities of STN not provided for in the Plan. Such liabilities may arise in a number of circumstances, including those where:

    a creditor of STN did not receive proper notice of the pendency of the bankruptcy case relating to the Plan or the deadline for filing claims therein;

    the injury giving rise to, or source of, a creditor's claim did not manifest itself in time for the creditor to file the creditor's claim;

    a creditor did not timely file the creditor's claim in such bankruptcy case due to excusable neglect;

    we are liable for STN's tax liabilities under a federal and/or state theory of successor liability; or

    the order of confirmation for the Plan was procured by fraud.

        If we are determined to be subject to such liabilities, it could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         Conditions in the financial system and the capital and credit markets may negatively affect our ability to raise capital to fund capital expenditures, pursue proposed development, expansion or acquisition opportunities or refinance our significant indebtedness.

        Our businesses are capital intensive. For our casino properties to remain attractive and competitive we must periodically invest significant capital to keep the properties well-maintained, modernized and refurbished. Similarly, future construction and development projects, including but not limited to proposed gaming facilities for the Native American Tribes, and acquisitions of other gaming operations could require significant additional capital. We rely on earnings and cash flow from operations to finance our business, capital expenditures, development, expansion and acquisitions and, to the extent that we cannot fund such expenditures from cash generated by operations, funds must be borrowed or otherwise obtained. We will also be required in the future to refinance our outstanding debt. Our ability to effectively operate and grow our business may be constrained if we are unable to borrow additional capital or refinance existing borrowings on reasonable terms.

        If we do not have access to credit or capital markets at desirable times or at rates that we would consider acceptable, and the lack of such funding could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to service our indebtedness.

         Our future financial results will be affected by the adoption of fresh- start reporting and may not reflect historical trends.

        We were formed for the purpose of acquiring substantially all of the assets of STN and GVR Predecessor pursuant to the Plan and the plans of reorganization of subsidiaries of STN and GVR Predecessor. We operate our business with a different capital structure than STN's capital structure. The Restructuring Transactions resulted in the Company becoming a new reporting entity and adopting fresh-start reporting on the Effective Date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 852 Reorganizations ("ASC Topic 852"). As required by ASC Topic 852, we recorded the acquisition of the Predecessors' assets and liabilities at estimated fair value, including certain assets and liabilities not previously recognized in their financial statements. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are not comparable to the financial condition and results of operations reflected in the Predecessors' historical financial statements.


Risks Related to the Notes and our Substantial Indebtedness

         We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to obtain financing in the future and to react to changes in our business.

        We have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant principal and interest payments. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $2.4 billion of debt outstanding, including approximately $1.65 billion of outstanding debt owed by the Station Casinos Guarantor Group. We also had $86.5 million of aggregate undrawn availability under our senior secured credit facilities at March 31, 2012, including $57.2 million under the Propco Credit Agreement, $21.5 million under the Opco Credit Agreement and $7.8 million under the GVR Credit Agreement.

        Our significant amount of debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the Notes and our senior secured credit facilities;

    increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and general industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings, including those under our senior secured credit facilities, are and will continue to be at variable rates of interest;

26


Table of Contents

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, which would reduce the availability of our cash flow from operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes;

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry;

    place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors that may have proportionately less debt;

    limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements; and

    increase our cost of borrowing.

         Despite our current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still incur significant additional indebtedness. Incurring more indebtedness could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness, including additional secured indebtedness, in the future. The terms of the indenture and our senior secured credit facilities restrict, but do not completely prohibit, us from doing so. As of March 31, 2012, we had $86.5 million of undrawn availability under our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the indenture governing the Notes allows us to issue additional Notes under certain circumstances which will also be guaranteed by the Guarantors. The indenture also allows us to incur certain other additional secured debt. In addition, the indenture does not prevent us from incurring other liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness. See "Description of the Notes." If new debt or other liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify.

         The right to receive payment on the Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of non-Guarantor subsidiaries, and we may not be able to rely on the cash flow or assets of our non-Guarantor subsidiaries to repay our indebtedness.

        The Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our existing or future unrestricted subsidiaries that are not Guarantors of the Notes. While the indenture governing the Notes limits the indebtedness and certain activities of these non-Guarantor subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness of, and trade creditors of, non-Guarantor subsidiaries are entitled to payments of their claims from the assets of such subsidiaries before those assets are made available for distribution to us or any Guarantor, as direct or indirect shareholder. The Unrestricted Subsidiary Group accounted for approximately $146.7 million, or 46% of our net revenues and approximately $25.8 million or 44% of our operating income, in each case for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Unrestricted Subsidiary Group also had approximately 45.7% of our assets and had outstanding indebtedness of $684 million, excluding a nonrecourse land loan of $107 million.

        Accordingly, in the event that any of our non-Guarantor subsidiaries becomes insolvent, liquidates or otherwise reorganizes:

    the creditors of the Guarantors (including the holders of the Notes) will have no right to proceed against such subsidiary's assets; and

    holders of claims of such non-Guarantor subsidiary, including trade creditors, will generally be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of assets of such subsidiary before any Guarantor as direct or indirect shareholder will be entitled to receive any distributions from such subsidiary.

        In addition, unrestricted subsidiaries will generally not be subject to the covenants under the indenture governing the Notes, and they may enter into financing arrangements that limit their ability to pay dividends, make loans or other payments to fund payments in respect of the Notes. Accordingly,

27


Table of Contents

we may not be able to rely on the cash flow or assets of unrestricted subsidiaries to pay any indebtedness of the Station Casinos Guarantor Group, including the Notes. As of the date of this prospectus, our unrestricted subsidiaries include NP Landco Holdco LLC, NP Opco LLC, GVR Holdco 3 LLC and NP IP Holdings LLC and each of their respective subsidiaries, which own substantially all of our assets other than the Station Casino Guarantor Group Properties. Borrowing arrangements of each of these entities contain restrictions on the ability of such entities to make distributions or payments to the Station Casinos Guarantor Group.

         We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the Notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

        Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. We will also be required to obtain the consent of the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities to refinance material portions of our indebtedness, including the Notes. We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the Notes.

        If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. If our operating results and available cash are insufficient to meet our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them, and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. Additionally, the Propco Credit Agreement, our other credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes limits the use of the proceeds from any disposition; as a result, we may not be allowed, under these documents, to use proceeds from such dispositions to satisfy all current debt service obligations.

         We may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control or pursuant to an asset sale offer.

        Upon a change of control, as defined under the indenture governing the Notes, the holders of Notes will have the right to require us to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In order to obtain sufficient funds to pay the purchase price of the outstanding Notes, we expect that we would have to refinance the Notes. We cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance the Notes on reasonable terms, if at all. Our failure to offer to purchase all outstanding Notes or to purchase all validly tendered Notes would be an event of default under the indenture. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of our other debt. Our other debt also may contain restrictions on repayment requirements with respect to specified events or transactions that constitute a change of control under the indenture.

        In addition, in certain circumstances specified in the indenture governing the Notes, we are required to commence an asset sale offer, as defined in the indenture, pursuant to which we will be obligated to purchase the applicable Notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Our other debt may contain restrictions that would limit or prohibit us from completing any such asset sale offer. Our failure to purchase any such Notes when required under the indenture is an event of default under the indenture.

28


Table of Contents

         Holders of the Notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the Notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of "substantially all" of our assets.

        The definition of change of control in the indenture governing the Notes includes a phrase relating to the sale of "all or substantially all" of our assets. There is no precise established definition of the phrase "substantially all" under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require us to repurchase its Notes as a result of a sale of less than all our assets to another person may be uncertain.

         If we default under our credit facilities, we may not be able to service our debt obligations.

        In the event of a default under the Propco Credit Agreement or our other credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If such acceleration occurs, thereby permitting an acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Notes, we may not be able to repay the amounts due under such credit facilities or the Notes. This could have serious consequences to the holders of the Notes and to our financial condition and results of operations, and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent. If default occurred under the credit facilities of one of our unrestricted subsidiaries, the subsidiary or subsidiaries party to such credit facility might have to take actions that could result in the diminution or elimination of our equity interest in such subsidiary. See "Description of Other Indebtedness."

         The Notes are not secured by our assets, or the assets of the Guarantors, and the lenders under Propco Credit Agreement will be entitled to remedies available to a secured creditor, which give them priority over you to collect amounts due to them.

        As of March 31, 2012, we had $2.4 billion of debt outstanding, $12.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $86.5 million of unused availability under the Propco Credit Agreement. The Notes and the related guarantees are not secured by any of our assets or any of the assets of the Guarantors. In contrast, our obligations under the Propco Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors

        Because the Notes and the related guarantees are unsecured obligations, your right of repayment may be compromised if any of the following situations occur:

    we enter into a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or any other winding-up proceeding;

    there is a default in payment under the Propco Credit Agreement or our other secured indebtedness; or

    there is an acceleration of any indebtedness under the Propco Credit Agreement or our other secured indebtedness.

        If any of these events occurs, the secured lenders could sell those of our and our Guarantors' assets in which they have been granted a security interest, to your exclusion, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the Notes at such time. Only when our obligations under the Propco Credit Agreement are satisfied in full will the proceeds of the collateral securing the Propco Credit Agreement be available, subject to other permitted liens, to satisfy obligations under the Notes and guarantees. As a result, upon the occurrence of any of these events, there may not be sufficient funds to pay amounts due on the Notes and the guarantees.

29


Table of Contents

         Our indebtedness imposes restrictive financial and operating covenants that will limit our flexibility in operating our business and may adversely affect our ability to compete or engage in favorable business or financing activities.

        The Credit Agreements and the indenture governing the Notes contain a number of covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

    incur additional debt or issue certain preferred units;

    pay dividends on or make certain redemptions, repurchases or distributions in respect of our Units or make other restricted payments;

    make certain investments;

    sell certain assets;

    create liens on certain assets;

    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and

    enter into certain transactions with our affiliates.

In addition, the Credit Agreements contain certain financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage ratio covenants, total leverage ratio covenants and maximum capital expenditures covenants.

        As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we are limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The restrictions caused by such covenants could also place us at a competitive disadvantage to less leveraged competitors.

        A failure to comply with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreements, indenture governing the Notes or other indebtedness that we may incur in the future could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the indebtedness and have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of any default under any of the Credit Agreements, the lenders thereunder:

    will not be required to lend any additional amount to us;

    could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend future credit; or

    could require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings.

        If we are unable to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness or to pay our debts, the lenders under the Credit Agreements could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness, which includes substantially all of our assets, and the holders of the Notes would be entitled to exercise remedies under our indenture. If our indebtedness were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full. Moreover, in the event that such indebtedness is accelerated, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance it on acceptable terms, or at all. You should read the discussions under the headings "Description of Other Indebtedness" and "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants" for further information about these covenants.

         Because each Guarantor's liability under its guarantees may be reduced to zero, voided or released under certain circumstances, you may not receive any payments from some or all of the Guarantors.

        You have the benefit of the guarantees of the subsidiary Guarantors. However, the guarantees by the subsidiary Guarantors are limited to the maximum amount that the subsidiary Guarantors are

30


Table of Contents

permitted to guarantee under applicable law. As a result, a subsidiary Guarantor's liability under its guarantee could be reduced to zero, depending upon the amount of other obligations of such subsidiary Guarantor. Further, under the circumstances discussed more fully below, a court under federal and state fraudulent conveyance and transfer statutes could void the obligations under a guarantee or further subordinate it to all other obligations of the Guarantor. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes and our Substantial Indebtedness—U.S. federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to avoid the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from the Guarantors." In addition, you will lose the benefit of a particular guarantee if it is released under certain circumstances described under "Description of the Notes—Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees—The Guarantees."

         U.S. federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to avoid the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from the Guarantors.

        Certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Notes. The guarantees by the subsidiary Guarantors may be subject to review under federal and state laws if a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization case or a lawsuit, including in circumstances in which bankruptcy is not involved, were commenced at some future date by, or on behalf of, the unpaid creditors of a Guarantor. Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court may avoid or otherwise decline to enforce a subsidiary Guarantor's guarantee, or may subordinate the Notes or such guarantee to the applicable subsidiary Guarantor's existing and future indebtedness. While the relevant laws may vary from state to state, a court might do so if it found that when the applicable subsidiary Guarantor entered into its guarantee, or, in some states, when payments became due under such guarantee, the applicable subsidiary Guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and:

    was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

    was engaged in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

        A court would likely find that a subsidiary Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for such guarantee if such subsidiary Guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of such guarantee. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of its assets;

    the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        A court might also avoid a guarantee, without regard to the above factors, if the court found that the applicable subsidiary Guarantor entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. In addition, any payment by a subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be avoided and required to be returned to such subsidiary Guarantor or to a fund for the benefit

31


Table of Contents

of such Guarantor's creditors, and accordingly the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you had already received from such subsidiary Guarantor.

        To the extent a court avoids any of the guarantees as fraudulent transfers or holds any of the guarantees unenforceable for any other reason, holders of Notes would cease to have any direct claim against the applicable subsidiary Guarantor. If a court were to take this action, the applicable Guarantor's assets would be applied first to satisfy the applicable Guarantor's other liabilities, if any, and might not be applied to the payment of the guarantee. Sufficient funds to repay the Notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining Guarantors, if any. Each subsidiary guarantee will contain a provision intended to limit the Guarantor's liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantees from being avoided under applicable fraudulent transfer laws or may reduce the Guarantor's obligation to an amount that effectively makes the guarantee worthless. Although overturned on other grounds, in a recent Florida bankruptcy case, this kind of provision was found ineffective to protect guarantees.

         The claim of a holder of Notes in bankruptcy may be less than the face amount of the Notes.

        In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding involving us, your claim as a creditor of the Company may not equal the face amount of the Notes you hold. The difference between the purchase price of the Notes and the face amount of those Notes may be considered to be "unmatured interest" for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which would not be an allowable claim in a bankruptcy proceeding involving us.

         You may be required to sell your Notes if any gaming authority finds you unsuitable to hold them.

        Gaming authorities have the authority generally to require that any beneficial owner of our securities, including the Notes, file an application and be investigated for a finding of suitability. If a record or beneficial owner of an Note is required by any gaming authority to be found suitable, such owner will be required to apply for a finding of suitability within 30 days after request of such gaming authority or within such other time prescribed by such gaming authority. The applicant for a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the investigation for such finding of suitability. If a record or beneficial owner is required to be found suitable and is not found suitable, such record or beneficial owner may be required pursuant to the terms of the Notes or law to dispose of the Notes. See "Description of the Notes—Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws."

         We are a holding company with no independent operations or assets. Repayment of our indebtedness, including the Notes, is dependent on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

        We are a holding company and repayment of the Notes will be dependent upon cash flow generated by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. A significant portion of our assets and operations are owned by subsidiaries that will not guarantee the Notes. Unless they are Guarantors of the Notes, our subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the Notes or to make funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness, including the Notes. Each of our subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. In addition, while the indenture governing the Notes limits the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to restrict the payment of dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the Notes.

         Conditions in the financial system and the capital and credit markets may negatively affect our ability to raise capital to fund capital expenditures, pursue proposed development, expansion or acquisition opportunities or refinance our significant indebtedness.

        Our business is capital intensive. For our casino properties to remain attractive and competitive we must periodically invest significant capital to keep the properties well-maintained, modernized and refurbished. Similarly, future construction and development projects, including but not limited to proposed gaming facilities for the Native American Tribes, and acquisitions of other gaming operations could require significant additional capital. We rely on earnings and cash flow from operations to finance our business, capital expenditures, development, expansion and acquisitions and, to the extent that we cannot fund such expenditures from cash generated by operations, funds must be borrowed or otherwise obtained. We will also be required in the future to refinance our outstanding debt. Our ability to effectively operate and grow our business may be constrained if we are unable to borrow additional capital or refinance existing borrowings on reasonable terms.

        The credit, financial and equity markets have experienced disruption that has had a dramatic impact on the availability and cost of capital and credit. While the United States and other governments have enacted legislation and taken other actions to help alleviate these conditions, there is no assurance that such steps will have the effect of easing the conditions in credit and capital markets. We are unable to predict the likely duration or severity of the current disruption in the capital and credit markets and we have no assurance that we will have further access to credit or capital markets at desirable times or at rates that we would consider acceptable, and the lack of such funding could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to service our indebtedness.

         Our ability to service all of our indebtedness depends on our ability to generate cash flow, which is subject to factors that are beyond our control.

        Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, a further deterioration in the economic performance of our casino properties may cause us to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared to illustrate the effects of certain adjustments related to the consummation of the Plan and the implementation of the Restructuring Transactions and fresh-start reporting as if such events and the Effective Date in each case had occurred on January 1, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The pro forma adjustments and certain assumptions underlying these adjustments are further described below.

        (a)—Reflects the elimination of historical share-based compensation expense of STN.

        (b)—Reflects the elimination of approximately $5.9 million in historical share-based compensation expense of STN and approximately $8.1 million in costs eliminated as a result of the restructuring.

        (c)—Reflects the elimination of approximately $0.1 million in historical share-based compensation expense of STN and approximately $0.5 million in costs eliminated as a result of the restructuring.

        (d)—Reflects the pro forma adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the fair values for property and equipment and intangible assets in connection with fresh-start reporting and the elimination of historical depreciation and amortization expense.

        (e)—Reflects the pro forma adjustment to management fees as a result of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entering into Management Agreements with subsidiaries of Fertitta Entertainment relating to the management of the Propco Properties, Opco Assets and Green Valley Ranch and the elimination of the prior management agreement for Green Valley Ranch. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements, the Company will pay subsidiaries of Fertitta Entertainment a base management fee equal to two percent of the gross revenues attributable to the properties and an incentive management fee equal to five percent of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the Management Agreements, with respect to each fiscal year, to the extent such EBITDA is positive.

        (f)—Reflects the elimination of STN's earnings and interest and other expense from its joint ventures related to Green Valley Ranch and Aliante Gaming, LLC.

        (g)—Reflects pro forma adjustments to interest expense as a result of the Company and its subsidiaries entering into the Credit Agreements in connection with the Restructuring Transactions as well as the elimination of historical interest expense related to debt eliminated with the Restructuring Transactions, calculated as follows (in thousands):

        (h)—Reflects the elimination of the change in fair value of derivative instruments.

        (i)—Reflects the elimination of reorganization items.

        (j)—Reflects the elimination of STN's income tax benefit as the Company is a pass-through entity for federal and state income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, the tax attributes of the Company pass through to its members, who owe any related income taxes. As a result, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

        You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "—Certain Definitions." In this description, the word "Company" refers only to Station Casinos LLC and not to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

        The Company issued the Existing Notes as a single class of securities under an Indenture, dated as of January 3, 2012, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2012 (the "Indenture"), among itself, the initial Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). We will issue the Notes under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA").

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not restate such agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the Notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "—Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

        The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees

The Notes

        The Notes:

    are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company;

    are pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior Indebtedness;

    are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured Indebtedness, including the Bank Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

    are senior in right of payment to any future senior subordinated or subordinated Indebtedness of the Company; and

    are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis.

The Guarantees

        The Notes are guaranteed by each of the Guarantors, and, subject to compliance with applicable gaming laws, any future Subsidiary of the Company that is a guarantor under the Bank Credit Agreement. The Guarantors currently consist of each of the entities that is a guarantor under the Bank Credit Agreement.

        The Guarantees of the Notes:

    are general senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor;

    are pari passu in right of payment to all of the applicable Guarantor's existing and future senior Indebtedness;

    are effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness of each Guarantor, including guarantees of the Bank Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness; and

41


Table of Contents

    are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of any Subsidiary of a Guarantor that is not a Guarantor.

        The Notes are not guaranteed by any existing Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that is designated by the Company in accordance with the Indenture to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Accordingly, the Notes are not initially guaranteed by any of LandCo Holdings, OpCo Holdings, GVR Holdco 3 and IP Holdco nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, all of which are Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. Unrestricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the restrictive covenants in the Indenture.

        As of March 31, 2012, we had $2.4 billion of debt outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement (excluding $12.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $86.5 million of available undrawn revolving credit commitments). Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries held approximately 45.7% of our assets at March 31, 2012 and generated net revenues and operating income of $146.7 million and $25.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

        The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will include contribution provisions designed to mitigate against the risk that the Guarantee could be found to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes and our Substantial Indebtedness—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees and require shareholders to return payments received from us or the guarantors."

        Each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to the Company or another Guarantor without limitation, or with other Persons upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. See "Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets." In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or the sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, in either case provided that such sale or other disposition complies with the provisions set forth in "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" (other than provisions for future application of the Net Cash Proceeds), or in the event of the designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, or upon a discharge of the Indenture in accordance with "—Satisfaction and Discharge" or upon any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture, the Guarantor's Guarantee will be released. Each of the Guarantors is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

        The Company is a holding company for its Subsidiaries, with no material operations of its own and only limited assets. Accordingly, the Company is dependent upon the distribution of the earnings of its Subsidiaries, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, advances or payments on account of intercompany obligations, to service its debt obligations. Subsidiaries that we have designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries held approximately 45.7% of our assets at March 31, 2012 and generated net revenues and operating income of $146.7 million and $25.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the restrictive covenants of the Indenture, including the covenant that limits the ability of Restricted Subsidiaries to impose limitations on the ability of such entities to, among other things, make dividends or distributions to the Company. In addition, the claims of the Holders are subject to the prior payment of all liabilities (whether or not for borrowed money) and to any preferred stock interest of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company consist of entities that comprised approximately 52.3% of our assets at March 31, 2012 [and generated approximately 54% and 57% of our net revenues and operating income, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2012. There can be no assurance that, after providing for all prior claims, there would be sufficient assets available from the Company

and its Subsidiaries to satisfy the claims of the Holders of Notes. See "Risk Factors—Holding Company Structure."

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Company issued the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million. The Company may issue additional notes from time to time. Any issuance of additional notes will be subject to all of the covenants in the Indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The Notes offered hereby and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, provided that if any additional notes are not fungible for United States federal income tax purposes with any of the Notes previously issued, such additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Notes are issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will mature on June 18, 2018.

        Cash interest on the Notes will initially accrue at the rate of 3.65% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, commencing June 15, 2012. The interest rate will increase to 3.66% on June 16, 2012, to 3.67% on June 16, 2013, to 4.87% on June 16, 2014, to 7.22% on June 16, 2016 and to 9.54% on June 16, 2017. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In addition, the Company shall pay a duration fee equal to 1.00% of the then aggregate outstanding amount (if any) of the Notes on June 17, 2016 and June 19, 2017.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

        If a holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will make all principal, premium and interest payments on Notes held by such holder in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the holders at the addresses set forth in the register of holders; provided that all payments with respect to Global Notes, and any definitive Notes the holder of which has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, will be made by wire transfer. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company's office or agency will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

Optional Redemption

        Except as set forth under "Mandatory Redemption," the Company does not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the Company has the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption price of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date.

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed among the holders of Notes as follows:

            (1)   if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, or

            (2)   if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot (in the case of a partial redemption) or in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

43


Table of Contents

        No Note of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may be conditional in that the Company may, notwithstanding the giving of the notice of redemption, condition the redemption of the Notes specified in the notice of redemption upon the completion of other transactions, such as refinancings or acquisitions (whether of the Company or by the Company).

        If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption. On and after the redemption date, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed.

Mandatory Redemption

        Except as described below, the Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control.

        Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; provided that no Note of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part) of such holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price in cash (the "Change of Control Payment") equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and duration fees and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to the Trustee and each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Change of Control Offer may be made up to 60 days prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. The Company will comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will include all instructions and materials necessary to enable holders to tender their Notes. To the extent that the provisions of any such laws or rules conflict with the provisions of this covenant, the Company's compliance with such laws and rules shall not in and of itself cause a breach of the Company's obligations under this covenant.

        On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

            (1)   accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

            (2)   deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered, and

44


Table of Contents

            (3)   deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted, together with an officers' certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

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

        The Change of Control provisions described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

        The Bank Credit Agreement contains, and any future Credit Facilities or other agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Company becomes a party may contain, restrictions on the ability of the Company to purchase any Notes, and also may provide that certain change of control events with respect to the Company would constitute a default thereunder. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Company is prohibited from purchasing Notes, the Company could seek the consents of its lenders to the purchase of Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Company does not obtain all such requisite consents or repay such borrowings, the Company will remain prohibited from purchasing Notes. In such case, the Company's failure to purchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. There can be no assurance that in the event of a Change of Control the Company will have sufficient funds, or that it will be permitted under the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement, to satisfy its obligations with respect to any or all of the tendered Notes.

        The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require the Company to repurchase such Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person or group may be uncertain.

        The presence of the Company's Note repurchase obligation in the event of a Change of Control may deter potential bidders from attempting to acquire the Company, whether by merger, tender offer or otherwise. Such deterrence may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Company's securities, particularly its common stock.

Asset Sales.

        Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly:

            (1)   consummate an Asset Sale unless such entity receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or of which other disposition is made (as determined in good faith by the Board of such entity), and

            (2)   consummate or enter into a binding obligation to consummate an Asset Sale unless at least 75% of the consideration received by such entity from such Asset Sale will be cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

              (a)   any liabilities as shown on such entity's most recent balance sheet (or in the notes thereto) (other than (i) Indebtedness subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, (ii) contingent liabilities and (iii) liabilities or Indebtedness to Affiliates of the Company) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, and

              (b)   to the extent of the cash received, any notes or other obligations or securities received by such Obligor from such transferee that are converted by such entity into cash within 180 days of receipt.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with the foregoing provisions if:

            (1)   such entity receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or other property sold, issued or otherwise disposed of (as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of such entity), and

            (2)   the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets; provided that any non-cash consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by such entity in connection with such Asset Sale that is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Cash Equivalents at any time within 360 days after such Asset Sale shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions set forth above.

        Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company or the affected Restricted Subsidiary will be required to apply an amount equal to all Net Cash Proceeds (excluding amounts received and considered as "cash" pursuant to clause (2)(a) of the first paragraph of this covenant) that are received from such Asset Sale within 360 days of the receipt thereof either:

            (1)   to reinvest (or enter into a binding commitment to invest, if such investment is effected within 360 days after the date of such commitment) in Productive Assets or in Asset Acquisitions not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture,

            (2)   to repay Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Agreement (or other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, secured by a Lien), and, in the case of any such repayment under any revolving credit or other facility that permits future borrowings, effect a permanent reduction in the availability or commitment under such facility, and/or

            (3)   a combination of prepayment and reinvestment as permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) and (2).

provided, however, that if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary contractually commits within such 360-day period to apply such Net Cash Proceeds within 180 days following such contractual commitment in accordance with the foregoing clauses (1), (2) or (3), and such Net Cash Proceeds are subsequently applied as contemplated in such contractual commitment, then the requirement for application of Net Cash Proceeds as set forth in this paragraph shall be considered satisfied.

46


Table of Contents

        Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

        Any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale that are not applied pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall constitute "Excess Net Proceeds." No later than 20 business days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $50 million (the "Net Proceeds Trigger Date"), the Company shall make an offer to purchase (the "Net Proceeds Offer"), on a date (the "Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, on a pro rata basis, an aggregate principal amount equal to the Excess Net Proceeds of (a) Notes, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, on the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, and (b) other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company which is pari passu with the Notes, in each case to the extent required by the terms thereof. If at any time within 360 days after an Asset Sale any non-cash consideration received by the Company or the affected Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale (other than non-cash consideration deemed to be cash as provided in clause (2)(b) above) is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash, then such conversion or disposition will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied in accordance with this covenant. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes or other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Excess Net Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use any remaining proceeds of such Asset Sales for general corporate purposes (but subject to the other terms of the Indenture). Upon completion of a Net Proceeds Offer, the Excess Net Proceeds relating to such Net Proceeds Offer will be deemed to be zero for purposes of any subsequent Asset Sale. In the event that a Restricted Subsidiary consummates an Asset Sale, only that portion of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (including any Net Cash Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of any non-cash proceeds received in connection with an Asset Sale) that are distributed to or received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary will be required to be applied by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this covenant.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the sale of Equity Interests or all or substantially all of the assets of any entity designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary on the Issue Date shall constitute an Asset Sale by the Company, whose Net Cash Proceeds shall be distributed to the Company and applied as set forth in this covenant and (y) 75% of the aggregate amount of distributions received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from joint ventures and Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than Subsidiary Tax Sharing Payment and payments and payments pursuant to the OpCo Cost Allocation Agreement, the GVR Cost Allocation Agreement and the LandCo Cost Allocation Agreement) shall be deemed an Asset Sale by the Company and applied as set forth in this covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, the application of clause (x) or clause (y) in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent such distributions have been used to mandatorily repay loans under the Bank Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereto.

        The Company will comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will include all instructions and materials necessary to enable holders to tender their Notes and, to the extent that the provisions of any such laws or rules conflict with the provisions of this covenant, the Company's compliance with such laws and rules shall not in and of itself cause a breach of the Company's obligations under this covenant.

Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws

        If a record or a beneficial owner of a Note is required by any Gaming Authority to be found suitable, the owner shall apply for a finding of suitability within 30 days after the request of such Gaming Authority or within such other time prescribed by such Gaming Authority. The applicant for a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the investigation for such finding of suitability. If a holder or beneficial owner is required to be found suitable and is not found suitable by such Gaming Authority, (i) such owner shall, upon request of the Company, dispose of such owner's Notes within 30 days or within that time prescribed by such Gaming Authority, whichever is earlier, or (ii) the Company may, at its option, redeem such owner's Notes at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof or (y) the price at which the Notes were acquired by such owner, together with, in either case, accrued interest to the date of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, or (z) such other amount required by such Gaming Authority.

        By accepting a Note, each holder or beneficial owner of a Note will be agreeing to comply with all requirements of the Gaming Laws and Gaming Authorities in each jurisdiction where the Company and its Affiliates are licensed or registered under applicable Gaming Laws or conduct gaming activities.

Certain Covenants

Restricted Payments.

        Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will, directly or indirectly:

            (1)   declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution (other than dividends or distributions payable solely in Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) in respect of the Company's or any Restricted Subsidiary's Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's Equity Interests in their capacity as such,

            (2)   purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or of any direct or indirect parent of the Company (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary),

            (3)   make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, except (i) a payment of principal, interest or other amounts required to be paid at Stated Maturity or (ii) a payment made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or

            (4)   make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments)

(each of the foregoing prohibited actions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) being referred to as a "Restricted Payment").

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may make any Restricted Investment so long as, at the time of such proposed Restricted Investment or immediately after giving effect thereto,

            (1)   no Default or an Event of Default has occurred, and is continuing or would result therefrom,

            (2)   the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio would be less than 5.5 to 1.0; and

              (a)   50% of the cumulative Consolidated Net Income (or if cumulative Consolidated Net Income shall be a loss, minus 100% of such loss) of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries during the period (treating such period as a single accounting period) beginning with the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs and ending on the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company ending immediately prior to the date of the making of such Restricted Investment for which internal financial statements are available ending not more than 135 days prior to the Determination Date, plus

              (b)   100% of the fair market value of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from any Person (other than from a Subsidiary of the Company), from the issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or the amount by which Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced by the conversion or exchange of debt securities or Disqualified Capital Stock into or for Qualified Capital Stock (to the extent that proceeds of the issuance of such Qualified Capital Stock would have been includable in this clause if such Qualified Capital Stock had been initially issued for cash) subsequent to the Issue Date and on or prior to the date of the making of such Restricted Investment (excluding any Qualified Capital Stock of the Company the purchase price of which has been financed directly or indirectly using funds (i) borrowed from the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless and until and to the extent such borrowing is repaid, or (ii) contributed, extended, guaranteed or advanced by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, in respect of any employee stock ownership or benefit plan)); provided that such aggregate net proceeds are limited to cash, Cash Equivalents and other assets used or useful in a Related Business or the Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Related Business, plus

              (c)   100% of the aggregate cash received by the Company subsequent to the Issue Date and on or prior to the date of the making of such Restricted Investment upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase Qualified Capital Stock of the Company, plus

              (d)   to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold for cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise liquidated or repaid for value, or any dividends, distributions, interest payments, principal repayments or returns of capital are received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Restricted Investment, the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of proceeds of such sale, liquidation, repayment, dividend, distribution, principal repayment or return of capital, in each such case valued at the cash or marked-to-market value of Cash Equivalents received with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any), and to the extent that any Restricted Investment consisting of a guarantee or other contingent obligation that was made after the Issue Date is terminated or cancelled, the excess, if any, of (x) the amount by which such Restricted Investment reduced the sum otherwise available for making Restricted Investments under this second paragraph of the Restricted Payment covenant, over (y) the aggregate amount of payments made (including costs incurred) in respect of such guarantee or other contingent obligation; provided that such proceeds are limited to cash, Cash Equivalents and other assets used or useful in a Related Business of the Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Related Business, plus

              (e)   to the extent that any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date the Issue Date, the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Restricted Investment of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Person as of the date it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or in such Unrestricted Subsidiary on the date of redesignation as a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the fair market value of such Restricted Investment as of the date such Restricted Investment was

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the preceding paragraphs will not prohibit the following Restricted Payments:

            (1)   the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution if the making thereof would have been permitted on the date of declaration; provided such dividend will be deemed to have been made as of its date of declaration for purposes of this clause (1);

            (2)   the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, rights or options to acquire Capital Stock of the Company either (a) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, rights or options to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company, or (b) through the application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, rights or options to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; provided that such aggregate net proceeds are limited to cash, Cash Equivalents and other assets used or useful in a Related Business or the Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Related Business;

            (3)   the payment, redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of Indebtedness of any Obligor that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees (a) solely in exchange for (i) shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (ii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, or (b) through the application of the net proceeds of a sale (other than to an Obligor) within 45 days of such sale of (i) shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or warrants, rights or options to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or (ii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or (c) within one year of the scheduled final maturity thereof; provided that such aggregate net proceeds are limited to cash, Cash Equivalents and other assets used or useful in a Related Business or the Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Related Business;

            (15) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the repurchase of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Guarantee with any Excess Net Proceeds as provided in the covenant described under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders Asset Sales" pursuant to provisions requiring such repurchase similar to those described in the covenant under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders Change of Control"; provided that all Notes tendered by holders thereof in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer have been repurchased , redeemed or acquired for value.

        In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date, Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (3)(a)(ii), (3)(b)(ii), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14) or (15) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall, in each case, be excluded from such calculation; provided, that any amounts expended or liabilities incurred in respect of fees, premiums or similar payments in connection therewith shall be included in such calculation.

        For purposes of this covenant, it is understood that the Company may rely on internal or publicly reported financial statements even though there may be subsequent adjustments (including review and audit adjustments) to such financial statements. For avoidance of doubt, any Restricted Payment that complied with the conditions of this covenant, made in reliance on such calculation by the Company based on such internal or publicly reported financial statements, shall be deemed to continue to comply with the conditions of this covenant, notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments that may result in changes to such internal financial or publicly reported statements.

        The Board of the Company may designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries if such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Obligors (except to the extent repaid in cash or in kind) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of this covenant to the extent that such deemed Restricted Payments would not be excluded from such calculation under the second paragraph of this covenant. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation (as determined in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Company).

        Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

        The Company will not, directly or indirectly: (1) Incur any Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Capital Stock or (2) cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Capital Stock or preferred stock, in each case, other than Permitted Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company may issue Disqualified Capital Stock and may Incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt), and any Guarantor may issue preferred stock or Incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt), if immediately after giving pro forma effect to such proposed Incurrence or issuance and the receipt and application of the net proceeds therefrom, the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio would be less than 5.5 to 1.0.

        The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following (collectively, "Permitted Indebtedness"):

            (1)   Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Agreement) as reduced by the amount of any

            (3)   Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the Bank Credit Agreement or other Credit Facilities; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness outstanding under this clause (3) as of any date of Incurrence (after giving pro forma effect to the application of the proceeds of such Incurrence), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to repay, redeem, extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (3), shall not exceed $1,075 million, to be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the aggregate amount of all Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to repay Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales";

            (4)   Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or any Guarantor, or of the Company to any Guarantor, for so long as such Indebtedness is held by an Obligor; provided that if as of any date any Person other than an Obligor acquires any such Indebtedness or holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness (other than a Permitted Lien), such acquisition or holding shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness under this clause (4) by the issuer of such Indebtedness;

            (5)   Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

            (6)   FF&E Financing and other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary solely to finance the construction or acquisition or improvement of, or consisting of Capitalized Leased Obligations Incurred to acquire rights of use in, capital assets useful in the Company's or such Subsidiary's business, as applicable, and, in any such case, Incurred prior to or within 270 days after the construction, acquisition, improvement or leasing of the subject assets, not to exceed $25 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time (including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to repay, redeem, extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (6)) for all of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (7)   Hedging Obligations and Interest Swap Obligations entered into not as speculative Investments but as hedging transactions designed to protect the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries against fluctuations in interest rates in connection with Indebtedness otherwise permitted hereunder or against exchange rate risk or commodity pricing risk;

            (8)   Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising in respect of performance bonds, completion guarantees and similar arrangements (to the extent that the Incurrence thereof does not result in the Incurrence of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others), in the ordinary course of business; provided, that such Indebtedness shall be Incurred solely in connection with the development, construction, improvement or enhancement of assets useful in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or the development, improvement or enhancement of the operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (9)   Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising in respect of letters of credit, bankers' acceptances, worker's compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar obligations, surety bonds and appeal bonds (to the extent that the Incurrence thereof does not result in the Incurrence of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money of others), in the ordinary course of business, in amounts and for the purposes customary in such Person's industry;

            (10) the guarantee by a Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Company or of any other Guarantor, or the guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary, provided such Indebtedness was outstanding on the Issue Date or was, at the time it was incurred, permitted to be incurred by the Company or such Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary under the Indenture; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the guarantee may only be incurred by a Guarantor and shall be subordinated to, or pari passu with, as applicable, the Notes to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

            (11) the issuance by any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

              (a)   any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and

              (b)   any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company

    will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (11);

            (12) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Subsidiary otherwise permitted by the Indenture;

            (14) Indebtedness of the Company under the Landco Support Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof, or any guarantee of any refinancing of the Indebtedness subject to such support obligations;

            (15) guarantees incurred in the ordinary course of business supporting obligations of suppliers, lessees and vendors;

            (16) Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount outstanding under this clause (16) as of any date of Incurrence, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to repay, redeem, extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed $50 million; and

            (17) Indebtedness representing deferred compensation to employees of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business;

Table of Contents

            (19) Indebtedness consisting of obligations of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries under deferred compensation or other similar arrangements incurred by such Person in connection with any Investment expressly permitted under "Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments"; and

            (20) Indebtedness consisting of (i) the financing of insurance premiums or (ii) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business.

        For purposes of this definition, it is understood that the Company may rely on internal or publicly reported financial reports even though there may be subsequent adjustments (including review and audit adjustments) to such financial statements. For avoidance of doubt, any incurrence of Permitted Indebtedness which is based upon or made in reliance on a computation based on such internal or publicly reported financial statements shall be deemed to continue to comply with the applicable covenant, notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments that may result in changes to such internal or publicly reported financial statements.

        Any Indebtedness of any Person existing at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of capital stock or otherwise) shall be deemed to be Incurred as of the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary.

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company or of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary will not constitute a separate incurrence, or amount outstanding, of Indebtedness so long as the Indebtedness so guaranteed was incurred in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (20) of such definition or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the second paragraph of this covenant, the Company will, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the second paragraph hereof. The Company may reclassify such Indebtedness from time to time in its sole discretion and may classify any item of Indebtedness in part under one or more of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness and/or in part as Indebtedness entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the second paragraph of this covenant.

        Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of principal amount or dividends, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or the payment of dividends on any Disqualified Capital Stock in the form of additional Disqualified Capital Stock with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Capital Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this covenant. Any increase in the amount of Indebtedness solely by reason of currency fluctuations will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant. A change in GAAP that results in an obligation existing at the time of such change, not previously classified as Indebtedness, becoming Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.

Liens.

        No Obligor will, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or assume any Lien, except a Permitted Lien, on or with respect to any of its property or assets including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, unless:

            (1)   in the case of any Lien securing Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees, the Notes or the Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property,

55


Table of Contents

    assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien as long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien; and

            (2)   in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations secured by such Lien for so long as such obligations are secured by such Lien.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

        The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

            (1)   pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock,

            (2)   make loans or advances to or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or to any other Restricted Subsidiary, or

            (3)   transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or to any Restricted Subsidiary

(each such encumbrance or restriction in clause (1), (2) or (3), a "Payment Restriction").

        However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

            (a)   applicable law or required by any Gaming Authority;

            (b)   the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees and other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary ranking pari passu with the Notes; provided that such restrictions are no more restrictive taken as a whole than those imposed by the Indenture;

            (c)   customary non-assignment provisions of any contract, license or lease of any Restricted Subsidiary entered into in the ordinary course of business of such Restricted Subsidiary;

            (d)   any instrument governing Acquired Debt Incurred in connection with an acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture as the same was in effect on the date of such Incurrence; provided that such encumbrance or restriction is not, and will not be, applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries or the property or assets, including directly related assets, such as accessions and proceeds so acquired or leased;

            (e)   any restriction or encumbrance contained in contracts for the sale of Equity Interests of any Subsidiary or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to be consummated in accordance with the Indenture solely in respect of Equity Interests (or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary) or assets to be sold pursuant to such contract;

            (f)    any restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) above with respect to the transfer of assets secured by a Lien that is permitted by the Indenture to be Incurred;

            (g)   any encumbrance or restriction contained in Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no less favorable to the holders of the Notes in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the Company than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced;

            (h)   agreements governing Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the

56


Table of Contents

    amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the Indenture, taken as a whole;

            (i)    any restriction imposed by Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Facilities; provided that such restriction or requirement is no more restrictive taken as a whole than that imposed by the Bank Credit Agreement as of the Issue Date;

            (j)    provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements and other similar agreements not prohibited by the Indenture;

            (k)   any restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

            (l)    any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition; or

            (m)  agreements in existence with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary at the time it is so designated, so long as such agreements are not entered into in anticipation or contemplation of such designation.

Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

        The Company may not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person unless:

            (1)   either

              (a)   in the case of a consolidation or merger, the Company, or any successor thereto, is the surviving or continuing corporation, or

              (b)   the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (the "Successor"), (i) shall be a corporation or limited liability company organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest and duration fees on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant of the Notes and the Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

            (2)   the Company's or the Successor's, if any, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, Consolidated Coverage Ratio would not be less than 2.00:1.00; and

            (3)   immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(b)(ii) above (including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Debt Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred and any Lien granted

57


Table of Contents

    in connection with or in respect of the transaction) no Default and no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and

        Notwithstanding clause (2) or (3) above:

            (a)   any Guarantor may consolidate with, or merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to the Company or to another Guarantor; and

            (b)   the Company or any Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person that has conducted no business and Incurred no Indebtedness or other liabilities if such transaction is solely for the purpose of effecting a change in the state of incorporation or form of organization of the Company or such Subsidiary.

        For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

        Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to and (except in the case of a lease) be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named therein as the Company and (except in the case of a lease) the Company shall be released from the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

        No Guarantor may, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person (other than the Company or another Guarantor) unless:

            (1)   either

              (a)   in the case of a consolidation or merger, the Guarantor, or any successor thereto, is the surviving or continuing corporation, or

              (b)   the Person (if other than the Guarantor) formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of the properties and assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, on the terms set forth in the Indenture; and

            (2)   immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(b)(ii) above (including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Debt Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction) no Default and no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing.

        This section includes a phrase relating to the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (or a

58


Table of Contents

Guarantor and its Subsidiaries) taken as a whole. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, if the Company or its Subsidiaries (or a Guarantor and its Subsidiaries) dispose of less than all their assets by any means described above, the application of the covenant described in this section may be uncertain.

Transactions with Affiliates.

        The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

            (1)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2 million, such Affiliate Transaction is, considered in light of any series of related transactions of which it comprises a part, on terms no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might reasonably have been obtained at such time in a comparable transaction or series of related transactions on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not such an Affiliate;

            (2)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate consideration of $20 million or more to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of the Company (and of any other affected Restricted Subsidiary, where applicable) shall, prior to the consummation of any portion of such Affiliate Transaction, have approved such Affiliate Transaction, as evidenced by a resolution of its Board; and

            (3)   with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving value of $50 million or more to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, the Board of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall have received prior to the consummation of any portion of such Affiliate Transaction, a written opinion from an independent investment banking, valuation, accounting or appraisal firm of recognized national standing that such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view.

        The foregoing restrictions will not apply to:

            (1)   reasonable fees, compensation and benefit arrangements (including any such compensation in the form of Equity Interests not derived from Disqualified Capital Stock, together with loans and advances, the proceeds of which are used to acquire such Equity Interests) paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or its Subsidiaries as determined in good faith by the Board or senior management;

            (2)   any transaction solely between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent any such transaction is otherwise in compliance with, or not prohibited by, the Indenture;

            (3)   any Restricted Payment permitted by the terms of the covenant described above under the heading "—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments" or any Permitted Investment;

            (4)   sales of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) to any of the Company's Affiliates;

            (5)   the pledge of the Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries or joint ventures to support the Indebtedness thereof;

            (6)   any transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Affiliate of the Company the Equity Interests of which Affiliate are owned solely by the Company or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and by persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand;

            (7)   payments of fees and expenses related to the Restructuring Transactions;

            (8)   payments and transactions contemplated by the Management Agreements, intellectual property licenses executed in connection therewith and payment of fees and expenses owing thereunder;

            (9)   payments and transactions contemplated by the Related Party Agreements; and

            (10) transactions pursuant to agreements existing on the Issue Date and any modification thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby in any replacement agreement therefor so long as such modification or replacement is not more disadvantageous to the Company or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect than the respective agreement existing on the Issue Date.

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

        The Company shall cause (i) any Material Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor and (ii) any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor that becomes a guarantor under the Bank Credit Agreement after the Issue Date, to:

            (1)   execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms set forth in the Indenture; and

            (2)   deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary.

Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of the Indenture.

No Layering.

        The Company will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, incur or suffer to exist Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee, as the case may be.

Lines of Business.

        The Obligors will not engage in any lines of business other than the Core Businesses and any Related Business.

Reports.

        Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the holders of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee:

            (1)   all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing or filings by the Company with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, and

            (2)   all current reports that would be required to be filed by the Company with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports,

60


Table of Contents

in each case within 30 days of the time periods such filings would be due as specified in the SEC's rules and regulations; provided that such delivery requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied if the Company files such information with the SEC via EDGAR or any successor thereto.

        In addition, the Company will file such information with the SEC to the extent the SEC is accepting such filings. The Company has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, it will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to the prospective investors, upon their reasonable request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The Indenture permits the Company to deliver the consolidated reports or financial information of the Company to comply with the foregoing requirements.

        If any Subsidiary of the Company is an Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

        Each of the following constitutes an Event of Default:

            (1)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes or the Guarantees;

            (2)   default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes or the Guarantees when due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

            (3)   failure by any Obligor to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or by holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class;

            (4)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default:

              (a)   is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"), or

              (b)   results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity (which acceleration has not been rescinded, annulled or cured within 20 business days of receipt by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of such notice)

    and, in each case, the due and payable principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the due and payable principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50 million or more;

            (5)   failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50 million, net of any applicable insurance, the carrier or

61


Table of Contents

    underwriter with respect to which has acknowledged liability in writing, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and

            (6)   certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

        If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on all the Notes and Guarantees then outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" and, upon delivery of such notice, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on all Notes and Guarantees then outstanding will become immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of specified Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, will immediately and automatically become due and payable, without the necessity of notice or any other action by any Person. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or the Guarantees.

        The Company will be required to deliver to the Trustee annually statements regarding compliance with the Indenture.

No Personal Liability of Managers, Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders

        No past, present or future director, officer, employee, agent, manager, partner, member, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor (or of any stockholder of the Company), in such capacity, will have any liability for any obligations of any Obligor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The Company may, at its option and at any time after December 30, 2012, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

            (1)   the rights of holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

            (2)   the Company's obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

            (3)   the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company's obligations in connection therewith; and

            (4)   the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

        In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

            (1)   the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and duration fees on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

            (2)   in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

              (a)   the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

              (b)   since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

    in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

            (3)   in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same

63


Table of Contents

    amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

            (4)   no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from transactions occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of funds, to be applied to such deposit);

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

            (6)   the Company must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

            (7)   the Company must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Transfer and Exchange

        A holder may transfer or Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

        Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

        Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting holder):

            (1)   reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver,

            (2)   reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change the optional redemption dates or optional redemption price of the Notes from those stated under "Optional Redemption",

            (3)   reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note,

            (4)   waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the holders of at least a

64


Table of Contents

    majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration),

            (5)   make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes,

            (6)   make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes,

            (7)   waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by one of the conditions described above under the captions "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" and "—Asset Sales"),

            (8)   contractually subordinate the Notes or the Guarantees to any other Indebtedness or

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

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, without notice to or the consent of any holder of Notes, the Obligors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes or Guarantees in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or Guarantees, to provide for the assumption of the Obligors' obligations to holders of Notes in the case of a merger, consolidation or disposition of all or substantially all assets, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder, to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to comply with requirements of applicable Gaming Laws or to provide for requirements imposed by applicable Gaming Authorities, to allow any Guarantor to execute a Guarantee with respect to the Notes, to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment of a successor trustee, to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Indenture or to conform the Indenture or the Notes to this "Description of the Notes." The consent of the Noteholders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

Governing Law

        The Indenture will provide that it, the Notes and the Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all Notes issued thereunder, when:

            (1)   either:

              (a)   all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust), have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

              (b)   all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption (and all conditions to such redemption having been satisfied or waived) or otherwise or will become due and

65


Table of Contents

      payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

            (2)   the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and

            (3)   the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

        In addition, the Company must deliver an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

        Upon compliance with the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute proper instrument(s) acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

Concerning the Trustee

        The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue in certain circumstances or resign. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. In case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. However, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of Notes, unless such holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes. It deals only with Notes purchased pursuant to the original offering of the Notes and held as capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The summary does not address special classes of noteholders, such as dealers in securities or currencies, life insurance companies, tax exempt entities, persons that hold a Note in connection with an arrangement that completely or partially hedges the Note, securities traders that use a mark-to-market method of accounting, banks or other financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, persons holding Notes as part of a conversion transaction, constructive sale, straddle or other integrated transaction, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, holders that are partnerships or other pass-through entities for United States federal income tax purposes (or investors therein), former citizens or residents of the United States or persons whose functional currency is not the United States dollar. The summary is based upon the Code, and Treasury regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof. Such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to produce United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below, possibly with retroactive effect.

        The following summary does not address any state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes. The following summary also does not address any U.S. federal tax considerations other than U.S. federal income tax considerations (such as the estate tax, gift tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income or any withholding taxes or reporting requirements imposed by Code sections 1471 and 1472).

        Prospective purchasers of Notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning United States federal and any state, local or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences in their particular situations.

United States Holders

        For purposes of this discussion, a "United States Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Note that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source and (iv) a trust, if either (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, was treated as a United States person on that date and elected to be treated as a United States person at all times thereafter.

        If an entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds Notes, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding Notes should consult its own tax advisers.

Treatment of the Notes as a Continuation of the Term Loans Exchanged Therefor

        In connection with this Offering, an aggregate principal amount of $625 million in term loans outstanding under the Propco Credit Agreement (the "Predecessor Term Loans") was exchanged for the Notes to be sold in this Offering. Because this exchange is believed not to have resulted in a "significant modification" within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations under section 1001 of the Code, the Company intends to treat the Notes, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a

92


Table of Contents

continuation of the Predecessor Term Loans. The balance of this discussion assumes that such treatment is correct.

Treatment of the Notes as "Contingent Payment Debt Instruments"

        Because the Predecessor Term Loans were originally issued with certain contingent features, the Predecessor Term Loans and, therefore, the Notes should be treated as "contingent payment debt instruments" ("CPDIs"). CPDI treatment should continue to apply throughout the term of the Notes even though the contingencies that caused the Predecessor Term Loans to be CPDIs were resolved shortly after the Effective Date and prior to the issuance of the Notes in exchange for the Predecessor Term Loans. The balance of this discussion assumes that such treatment is correct.

        Special rules apply to CPDIs, such as the Notes, that were issued in exchange for non-publicly-traded property (the "Special CPDI Rules"). The Special CPDI Rules are complicated and the precise application of such rules to the Notes is not entirely clear. Although not free from doubt, we believe that the Special CPDI Rules should generally apply to the Notes as follows:

    The "issue price" of the Notes (as of the Effective Date, which is the date on which the Notes were deemed to have been issued) should be determined by discounting each of the future payments on the Notes by specified discount rates (referred to in the Special CPDI Rules as "applicable federal rates" or "AFRs") applicable to debt instruments issued in June 2011 (the month in which the Notes were deemed to have been issued). Each of the relevant AFRs was significantly lower than any of the stated interest rates provided for in the Notes. Accordingly, (a) the issue price of the Notes should exceed the stated principal amount of the Notes, (b) the Notes should be deemed to accrue interest at the applicable AFRs, as opposed to the higher stated interest rates provided for in the Notes, (c) all of the accrued interest on the Notes should be treated as original issue discount ("OID") and should be taxable as ordinary income as such OID accrues on a "constant yield" basis (regardless of a United States Holder's regular method of tax accounting) and (d) each payment of stated interest should be treated in part as a payment of previously accrued OID and, to the extent such stated interest payments exceed such OID, as a repayment of principal.

    The excess of the "adjusted issue price" of a Note (i.e., the issue price of a Note, increased by any previously accrued OID and decreased by any payments previously made with respect to the Note) as of the date of this offering over the price paid by a United States Holder to acquire such Note should be treated as "market discount." Unless a United States Holder elects to include market discount in income (as ordinary income) as it accrues (ratably or, at the election of the United States Holder, on a constant yield basis), such holder should treat any principal payment received on the Notes prior to a sale or other disposition of the Notes (including the portion of any stated interest payment treated as a repayment of principal (as described above)) as ordinary income to the extent such principal payment does not exceed the accrued market discount not previously included in income.

    The effect of the foregoing rules is to require a United States Holder to accrue on a current basis (as ordinary income) such holder's economic yield on the Notes (i.e., the sum of the stated interest payments and the amount, if any, by which the stated principal amount of the Notes exceeds such holder's purchase price) in approximately the same manner as if all of such economic yield were treated as OID.

    Upon a sale or other disposition of a Note (including a retirement or redemption), a United States Holder generally will recognize gain or a loss equal to the excess of the amount realized by such holder over such holder's adjusted tax basis at the time of such disposition. A United States Holder's adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will equal the price paid by such holder to acquire the Note, increased by any OID and market discount previously included in income and

93


Table of Contents

      decreased by all payments previously received by such holder with respect to the Note. Any gain recognized by a United States Holder will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount on the Note that has not previously been included in income, and any excess gain shall be treated as capital gain. Any capital gain will be treated as long-term capital gain if the United States Holder's holding period exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate holders are subject to tax at preferential rates. Any loss recognized will be capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

United States Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the Special CPDI Rules and the bond premium, acquisition premium or market discount rules in their particular situations, including with respect to limitations on deducting interest expense on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry market discount bonds and limitations on revoking elections relating to the accrual of market discount.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments of interest and accruals of OID on a Note and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of a Note, unless a United States Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient. Backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28% (and scheduled to increase to 31% in 2013), will apply to payments of such amounts if the United States Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or to establish that such holder is exempt from backup withholding.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a United States Holder's United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-United States Holders

        As used herein, a "Non-United States Holder" is a person or entity that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a United States Holder.

Treatment of the Notes as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments

        As discussed in more detail in the discussion of United States Holders, the Notes should be treated as contingent payment debt instruments ("CPDIs") subject to special rules applicable to CPDIs issued for non-publicly traded property. These rules are complicated and the precise application of these rules to the Notes is not entirely clear. Non- United States Holders should consult their own advisors about the impact of these rules in their particular situations.

Payments of Interest

        If interest income on the Notes (which, for purposes of this discussion of Non-United States Holders, includes original issue discount on the Notes) is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-United States Holder, then, under the portfolio interest exemption, payments of interest by the Company to a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax as long as the Non-United States Holder (1) does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the capital or profits interests of Station Holdco, (2) is not a bank within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (3) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company through equity ownership and (4) provides appropriate certification.

94


Table of Contents

        The certification requirement will be met if either:

    1.
    In accordance with specified procedures, the Non-United States Holder provides to the Company or our paying agent a Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute or successor form), that is signed under penalties of perjury, includes its name and address, and contains a certification that the holder is not a United States person; or

    2.
    (a) the Non-United States Holder provides a Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute or successor form), signed under the penalties of perjury, to a qualified intermediary, such as a securities clearing organization, bank, or other financial institution who holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the Notes on behalf of a beneficial owner, and (b) the qualified intermediary certifies to the Company, or our paying agent, under the penalties of perjury, that such statement has been received by it from the beneficial owner, directly or through another intermediary financial institution, and furnishes the Company or our paying agent with a copy thereof.

        If a Non-United States Holder does not qualify for the portfolio interest exemption, interest payments to the Non-United States Holder will be subject to United States withholding at a 30% rate. The rate may be reduced or eliminated under applicable treaties. To claim the benefit of a treaty the Non-United States Holder generally must furnish the Company with a Form W-8BEN.

Sale or Other Disposition

        A Non-United States Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of a Note unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-United States Holder (in which case, such gain will be treated as discussed below) or (ii) in the case of a Non-United States Holder who is an individual, such Non-United States Holder is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain (net of certain U.S.-source losses) will be taxed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate)).

Effectively Connected Interest Income or Gain

        If any interest income or gain on the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by a Non-United States Holder, such interest income or gain generally will be subject to United States federal income tax in the same manner as if the Notes were held by a United States Holder, as discussed above (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise), and in the case of a Non-United States Holder that is a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, a branch profits tax, currently at a 30% rate (or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) may apply to any effectively connected earnings and profits of the Non-United States Holder (subject to adjustments).

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        United States information reporting requirements and backup withholding will not apply to interest payments on a Note to a noteholder that is a Non-United States Holder provided that a certification of non-United States status, as discussed above, has been received and neither the Company nor its paying agent has actual knowledge that the payee is not a Non-United States Holder. However, information reporting on IRS Form 1042-S may still apply with respect to interest payments.

        Information reporting requirements and backup withholding will generally not apply to any payment of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of a

95


Table of Contents

Note effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a "broker" (as defined in applicable United States Treasury Regulations), provided that such broker (1) is not a United States person, (2) derives less than 50% of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and (3) is not a controlled foreign corporation or a foreign partnership doing business in the United States or in which United States persons own more than 50% of the income or capital interests (a person described in (1), (2) and (3) being hereinafter referred to as a "foreign controlled person"). Payment of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of a Note effected outside the United States by a foreign office of any broker that is not a foreign controlled person will generally not be subject to backup withholding, but will generally be subject to information reporting requirements unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the beneficial owner is a Non-United States Holder and certain other conditions are met, or the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption. Payment of the proceeds of a sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of a Note effected by a U.S. office of any broker generally will be subject to backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-United States Holder certifies its non-U.S. status.

        Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding application of withholding and backup withholding in their particular circumstance and the availability of any procedure for obtaining an exemption from withholding, information reporting and backup withholding under current United States Treasury Regulations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their United States federal income tax liability or may claim a refund provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Item 17.    Undertakings.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

              (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

II-5


Table of Contents

            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

            (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

            (5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

              The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

                  (i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

                 (ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

                (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

                (iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
